Aseudal Yeondaegi (2019)
Arthdal Chronicles is such a gem for fantasy genre lovers.
I think this could contend quite well with GOT because the story line is truly and intricately woven. It is not far fetched from the realistic setup of our world. I would only wish for more diversity and inclusion to be explored in the casting of characters if and I hope there is a season 2. If would open up the story a lot more and appeal to a larger section of a fan base because it has what it takes.

Positively Feminine & Empowering
Liked this drama mostly because it explored the roles of woman in different positions of power in a very updated setting. They dealt with issues such as navigating relationships between an older woman and a younger man, question of marriage options and more interesting aspects.
Joahamyeon Ullineun (2019)
The biggest toxic lie ever😂
I loved the concept of the Love alarm because it reminded me of black mirror until they took its effect away. Highly bothered by the ending of Love Alarm Season two. People who are crushing on the ending with the bias of at least the second lead won this time worry me too.
It really feels like the break between season 1 and 2 affected the story big time and birthed some toxic plot twists. Jojo had issues to deal with from her past which made her afraid of accepting Sun Oh's love and what effect it could have on the wall she had put up . She was able to deal with Hye-yeong for the same reason she was with her ex because she felt safe and in control. Not because she loved him.
Duk-gu should have received a major penalty for trying to play God with Jojo because he felt since he couldn't win Gul-mi over he transferred his feelings to Jojo's relationship life. The biggest running theme was the inability to say I love you anymore because the app did that for you so the best way to end it if they really wanted a twist was to not give jojo a spear. That was a cheat code...if there really was a glitch then she should have gotten her alarm abilities back. Then she would ring both her alarms, Hye-yeong would also experience a variable just like sun oh and have someone else ring his alarm. Jojo would properly use the jeju marathon and getaway to get over her fears and be ready to accept love not safety from emotional upside down version of it and fully, therefore, making it fair game.
The ending is problematic because it just inspires people to be hurt in relationships in the name of you will grow to love me one day. That's just obsession to me. If anything we should be sad that Sun Oh didn't win because he never truly had love in his life that he could get from someone he was giving it to. Whilst Hye-yeong had love from his mom. This should not have been about first or second lead winning but lessons learnt from the effect of the love alarm and how we would adjust to it just like the realistic plays from the suicide and crime it evokes. Love Alarm 2.0 actually did make sense and if Hye-yeong could be with Jojo then heck Gul-mi and Duk-gu may as well have made it😂. Why be honest about that and not the other🤔.
This was just not the show for satisfying the second lead win scenario. Definitely not well played. There was a lot to unpack I understand but the shortcuts and lack of focus us on things like Jojo Hye-yeong's kiss attempt for example were just not explored and Duk-gu not removing the shield like the instructions said.
Like are we just meant to forget about that? This like game of thrones all over again too.😂 I just don't buy because it just doesn't make sense. Anyways I'm done.
