Love Alarm: K-dramas

 Love Alarm Season 2: What We Know So Far!!

I really enjoyed Love Alarm for my first ever Korean drama. The main plot was intriguing, and the characters were entertaining. There were some areas of the show that felt new and somewhat uncomfortable, but was never enough to push me away from watching the rest of the show. I was sucked into this story because it felt somewhat familiar and grounded in reality. It was still fun, and obviously dramatic,  but usually a romance story line would not intrigue me as much as this show did. 

I was also interested in the character's personal stories. The main girl is forced to fend for herself after the death of her parents, and seeing the little details in her life was very interesting in contrast to the main love interests wealth. Each character felt like they had their own lives outside of looking for love. The love alarm app is just one of many intricate pieces to this K-drama.

I wasn't sure if I would like K-dramas, but I did fully enjoy this one. I think I will most likely give Korean dramas another chance and see if this show was a fluke or if I'm just a new fan of Korean dramas.

He describes his feelings to us, while explaining where those feelings are stemming from. He does this openly and without judgement, but the audience understands that he may not share these feelings and emotions to the people that he interacts with in his daily life. It is a venting piece, a piece of documentation as well as a work of art.  Despite our technological connections to other people, there is always the question of an online persona. Even though people want to share their lives with others, there is a disconnect t...
