The second season of 'Love Alarm' begins with Jojo back in college and Sun-oh is still in love with Jojo. Of course, he has a girlfriend but his relationship with her is not as effortless as it was with Jojo. The question of why her "love alarm" app stopped ringing when she was around him is something that troubles him still.

It may seem as if Jojo has moved on considering how she has gotten so close Hye-young. He has always been in love with her but had to give up initially because she had fallen for Sun-oh in the first season. However, post their break up in high school, Hye-young took the initiative and promised her that she will be loved by him deeply.

Since then the two of them have been dating. However, what will happen with Sun-oh's return?

The reason why Jojo wants to remove the app guard initially is to see if she has really fallen in love with Hye-young and can move on. Before she can confirm her feelings, she is not even able to kiss Hye-young. However, just when she is ready to approach Brian Chon, she ends up meeting Sun-oh again and all her buried feelings resurface.

She needs to remove the shield on her app to be able to tell her true feelings apart from what she had experienced in the past.

Shockingly, however, when she meets the developer of the app, Brian, she learns that it is impossible to remove the shield. She learns that there is no one who can remove it for her and she would have to live with it since she made that decision.

Brian doesn't confirm if he is Jojo's friend from high school called Duk-gu or if he is just another developer. His story about liking someone when he was in high school is similar to Duk-gu's story. However, we have seen Duk-gu attempt to die by suicide on the show. So at the end of episode 2, the only thing we know for sure is that removing the shield on Jojo's app is not as simple as it sounds.

What is worse is that Sun-oh overhears Jojo's conversation with Brian at the Badge members' conference. He realizes why his Love Alarm did not ring in her presence despite her being in love with him -- something that he had tried to understand for years. The revelation shocks him but also solves the mystery that was stopping him from pursuing Jojo.

Now, that he knows, he is quite mad but also ready to pursue her again. But before all that, he also asks Jojo -- does Hye-young know this truth?

'Love Alarm' season 2 premiered on Netflix on March 12 and all six episodes are available to stream
