Story of Love Alarm
Love Alarm or 좋아하면 울리는 is a Korean drama which starred Kim So-Hyun, Jung Ga-ram, and Song Kang. A romance television series aired on Netflix based on the webtoon of the same name by name by Chon Kye-young.
Love Alarm tells the story of a newly developed technology that enables users to discover love through an application. The application called Love Alarm notifies someone who uses the app whether someone with the vicinity of the 10-meter radius has romantic feelings for them.
The app was made by a high school student who suddenly disappeared. After 4 years the love alarm was seen in the sky and started to gain more users and anti-love alarm. Some people decided to use the app to show their feelings for the one they love and some killed themselves due to disappointment that no one rings their love alarm.
Aside from that, the story revolves around the 3 high school students; Kim Jojo (Kim So-Hyun), Hwang Sun-O (Song Kang), and Lee Hye-Young (Jung Ga-ram).
Kim Jojo is a smart and pretty girl. Her parents died at a young age and were raised by her grandmother. When her grandmother got sick she had no choice but to live with her aunt’s family with her cousin.
Hwang Sun-O is a model and from a wealthy family that lacks affection for each other. He fell in love with Kim Jojo despite knowing that his best friend Lee Hye-young likes Kim Jojo also. Lee Hye-young once downloaded the alarm and rings Kim Jojo’s love alarm and let her know about his feelings. But after that, he deleted the app to let his friend Sun-O and Kim Jojo be together. After an incident happened in Jeju, Kim Jojo broke up with Sun-O.
After how many years, Hye-young saw Jojo and approached her. He still loves Jojo and this time he’s doing the old way to show her feelings to Jojo despite knowing that Jojo would never turn back the love he has for her.
Hwang Sun-O went o Kim Jojo also and asked her if she still loves him but her answer is still the same. The drama ended Part 1 (8 episodes) and viewers are still waiting for the second season.

Hi, thank you for the filming sites information.
Btw, do you know the location of the bus stop where Jojo & Sun Oh ran after their first kiss?
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. It says 명현동 but I cannot locate the exact bus stop. I search the Who’s Studio which is seen in the drama and the location is in Gyeonggido. The other bus stop when Jojo and Hye-yeon met is near to Gyeongbukgung Palace.
Hello! Just wanna ask if are we allowed to enter Choongang High School? I heard it’s hard for tourists to enter the school premises since high schools in Korea isn’t as open as the universities.
Visit on weekends or vacation which there are no classes.
Possible to enter the school? Is there a fee? May ma add nanaman sa list ko.
Possible to enter po as long as walang klase.
