We’re getting the teensiest of peeks at the upcoming second season of Netflix drama Love Alarm, via still featuring lead actors Kim So-hyun (Tale of Nokdu), Song Kang (Sweet Home), and Jung Ga-ram (Love Alarm).
The romance drama is based on a popular webtoon by the same title (written by Chun Kye-young), and Love Alarm 2′s story takes the characters out of high school and into the adult world, four years after the events of the last season. They live in a society where love has become synonymous with the sound of the Love Alarm, a widespread dating app which prompts a notification when someone interested in you gets within a 10 meter distance. But now, the conventions of dating have been further complicated by the app’s evolution to version 2.0 which has two new features: “People you may like” and “People who may like you.”
As seen in the new stills, it’s no surprise that both Song Kang and Jung Ga-ram’s feelings still ring on Kim So-hyun’s app. And the love triangle will take center stage again in season 2. But both suitors have questions about who Kim truly likes and the situation is further clouded by a beta feature that Kim activated as the last season ended, which blocks notifications about her own feelings from sounding on other people’s apps.
On the production side, there’s been a change of directors for the drama’s second season with PD Kim Jin-woo (Suits, Healer) taking the reins. Love Alarm 2 is currently set to release next month on March 12 on Netflix.
