Bir webtoon uyarlaması ile daha karşı karşıyayız. Bunun diğerlerinden farkı ise Kore dizilerinin içerik sınırlarını aşıyor olması. Bütün dizi boyunca ana karakterler bir kerecik öpüşsün diye saçımızı başımızı yolduğumuz o atmosfer yok. Aksine daha cesur, cinselliğin daha ön planda olduğu bir senaryo söz konusu. Tabi ki klasik bir Amerikan yapımı ya da netfilix cinselliğinden bahsetmiyoruz. Her şekilde diğer ülkelere nazaran edepliydi.

Dizi Yoo Na-Bi(Han So-Hee) karakterinin erkek arkadaşının sergisine gidişi ile başlıyor. Heykeltraş olan erkek arkadaş, ikilinin mahremiyetini gözler önüne seren bir heykeli seyirci karşısına çıkartıyor. İlk dakikadan dizinin aşka yaklaşımının rengi belli oluyor. Aşka inancını kaybeden karakterimiz kendini daha çok içine kapatıp yüzeysel ilişkiler kurmaya yöneliyor. Kendisi de okulda heykel bölümü öğrencisi olan Na-Bi bu kafa karışıklığı içindeyken Park Jae-Eon(Song Kang) ile tanışıyor. Jae-Eon ise sevgili olmanın zaman kaybı olduğunu, duyguların anlık yaşanması gerektiğini düşünen sanatçı kafası bir çocuk. Flörtleşmek onun için nefes almak gibi. Herkese karşı nazik, arkadaş canlısı ve neşeli davranıyor ama kimsenin peşinden koşmuyor. Diğer yandan bütün kızlar beyimizin peşinde, hepsi onunla bir şeyler yaşama derdinde.

Jae-Eon bir noktada kendini halka mal edip aynı zamanda bir çizginin gerisinde duruyor. Kendisi herkesin sevgilisi ama kimse onun sevgilisi değil gibi. Na-Bi ile tanıştıktan sonra kendi çizdiği hayali çizgileri zorlamak isteyen bir erkek karakteri ve aşka inanmadığına kendini inandırmaya çalışırken aşkı arayan bir kadın karakteri izliyoruz. Dizinin merkezinde “kelebek” var. Kelebeklerin hayatının kısa olması ve anlık mutluluğun önemi vurgulanıyor. Jae-Eon’un kelebek dövmesi ve Na-Bi’nin kelime anlamının kelebek olması gibi eliniz attığınız her yerden çıkıyor.

Yorum yapacak olursam, diziyi biraz tutuk buldum. İzlerken hep kendi okul günlerim aklıma geldiği için farklı duygularla izledim ama duyguları anlatmak olsun, hikaye örgüsü olsun son derece kısırdı. Song Kang son dönemlerde yıldızı parlayan bir oyuncu, birçok yerde kendini göstermeyi başardı. Oyuncuyu ilk Sweet Home dizisinde izlemiştim. Bence tam da rolü oydu. Bu dizideki duygusuz düz sahnelerde de oldukça başarılı olsa da duygusal yakın çekim sahneler pek ona göre değil gibiydi. Keza Han So-Hee’de aynı şekilde hiç duygusal sahne oyuncusu gibi durmadığından birbirlerini tamamlayamadılar. İkisi de kötü değildi aslında, sadece biraz tutuktular diyebilirim. Ama bu tutukluk senaryodan da kaynaklanıyor olabilir. Karakterler dizi boyunca duygularını kendine sakladılar. Öyle ki, bizden bile sakladılar. Bir ara diziyi “neden ki, şimdi n’oldu, eeee?, yahu söyle işte neyse” şeklinde izlediğimi fark ettim. Bazı noktalarda ise karakterler gerçekten ne hissettiğini anlamıyormuş gibiydi. Elindeki sahne noktalarında ne yazıyorsa onu söylüyor ya da oynuyor ama neden yaptığını bilmiyormuş gibi davranıyorlardı.

Bütün bunlara rağmen, dizinin aurasından mı bilinmez kendisini izletmeyi başardığını düşünüyorum. Belki dönemine ve ülkesine göre cesur olmasından kaynaklıydı ama yadsınamaz bir gerçekti. Dudaklarını birbirine dokundurup öpüştük diye gururlanan çiftler yerine daha gerçekti bir görsel sunuyorlardı. Aslında sırf bu da değil, yan rollerin verdiği mesajlarda bir o kadar yenilikçiydi. Rahat konuşmaların olması, lezbiyen bir çift ile  LGBT’ye değinmeleri gibi Amerikanvari yaklaşımlar vardı.

Darısı başımıza diyelim. Biz çok şükür açık seçik sahne yapmayı öğrendiğimiz gibi bokunu çıkarttık. Daha çok tabuları yıkan göstere göstere yapmak yerine fikirlerin ön planda olduğu yapımlarda yaparız umarım.

Love Alarm Season 2: In Defense of Hye Yeong (written by a Sun Oh stan)

Warning: This analysis contains spoilers. Read at your own risk!

I binge-watched two seasons of Love Alarm in two days and I have some thoughts on the Kim Jojo- Hye Yeong ship. I genuinely hate watching k-dramas that involve the audience having to do deal with not only the relationship between the female and male lead, but also the relationship between her and an equally if not more swoon-worthy second male lead. I had a brief encounter with Love Alarm Season 1 two years ago before I decided against finishing the season because I discovered that it ends on a cliffhanger. Like many fans of the show, from the first three episodes, I strongly believed that Sun-Oh and Jojo would end up together. They both had difficult childhoods and parents and with Jojo enabling the shield, their breakup seemed temporary and that they would get back together once Jojo figures out how to disable the shield and realizes the she was never happy without Sun Oh. Therefore, I found it surprising to find the creators of the show positing a Jojo-Hye Yeong pairing. By doing so, they not only broke Sun Oh's heart but also millions of fans worldwide. However, upon deeper reflection, I think I can understand why a Hye-Yeong-Jojo pairing was the most probable all along and is necessary for the premise of the show to succeed.

Love Alarm is more than a rom-com about a bunch of teenagers overcoming adversity through love. Love Alarm offers its audience a nuanced critique of our dependency on technology and how such dependency makes us less intuitive about our feelings and needs. The best way to explain this in our current society is by quite literally focusing on the invention of the alarm. Before the alarm was invented, humans slept and rose based on our circadian rhythms and we instinctively woke up every day to carry out our various responsibilities. However, with the invention of the alarm clock, many of us are not able to wake up on time for anything without it. Try to sleep one day without setting your alarm and you'll find yourself waking up four hours later ( been there done that!). Similarly, in the world of Love Alarm, we see individuals overly reliant on the app to the point that it has dominated every single discourse being had in 2023. For instance, in the first scene of Season 2 Episode 1, we see a marriage ceremony that only concludes after the bride and groom ring each other's alarms and with the release of Love Alarm 2.0, people aren't even giving a chance to individuals, who don't show up on the list. The notion of blind trust in our relationships is completely thrown with Love Alarm when there is an app that is constantly verifying whether a person has feelings for you. This is detrimental because the success of true passionate love rests on the fact that we come to care for someone so deeply that we ultimately trust them to feel the same way about us, so we let them into the most intimate aspects of our lives.

This statement mentioned above is precisely why Sun Oh and Jojo were never endgame. Sun Oh and Jojo's relationship was only initiated because they rang each other's alarms and while they shared moments of happiness, their relationship was not founded on trust because both Sun Oh and Jojo lacked the intuition to see their relationship as something that transcends an app. Throughout Season 2, we see Sun Oh consistently warped in the technicalities of the app with his obsessive questioning of Jojo over the shield. While we see him question Jojo about why she can't ring his alarm, he can't seem to comprehend this idea that you don't need the alarm to be in a successful relationship even though he seems to be doing that quite wonderfully with Yok Joo. Yok Joo because someone that truly makes Sun Oh happy and remains a constant source of support that he can rely on. Likewise, we see Sun Oh prioritizing and caring for Yok Joo, signs that he is growing to love someone, but cannot accept it because he excepts the Alarm to tell him that he is in love.

Love rarely is an instantaneous experience, but rather something that develops over time, and Love Alarm completely strips this experience. In his decision to woo Jojo without the alarm, Hye Yeong embraces this idea successfully. He remains undeterred about the fact that Jojo can't ring his alarm and continues to spend meaningful time with her because being around her simply makes him feel happy and a part of him trusts the fact that Jojo feels the same way. Hye Yeong trusts his intuition more than he trusts an app. In doing so, he makes Jojo realize that she has to listen to herself rather than an app. Throughout her storyline, a common thread is the supposed lack of control that Jojo feels from her parents' death to her being left with no choice but to rely on her unkind aunt and cousin for support. In Jojo being able to finally make a choice in her life in choosing to love Hye Yong, she is arguably able to express autonomy over her life for the first time and she is not bound by her status as an economically struggling orphan in doing so.

Additionally, another reason why Jojo and Sun-Oh's relationship failed is that while the two may truly be in love, they were not in love with each other at the right time. When Jojo and Sun Oh were both dating each other, they were arguably at the lowest points in their life. Sun Oh was dealing with extremely abusive and negligent parents, while Jojo was still traumatized by the death of her parents and the bullying that she faced at the hands of her cousin and classmates. Throughout their relationship, Jojo was terrified at the prospect of Sun-Oh finding out about her background and was embarrassed by her socioeconomic status, which was what prompted her to download the shield in the first place. Jojo's period of However, by the time Hye Yeong pursues a relationship with Jojo, she is in a much better place. Not only does she feel more comfortable with Hye-Yeong because they had already seen each other at their all-time lows, but she's become more assertive, confident, and found some fame in her work as the artist of The Ringing World. She also has a best friend that understands and respects her boundaries. Loving someone but having to let them go because it simply wasn't the right time and place is all too common of an occurrence and the creators of the show challenge us to question the idea that we are only destined for one person our entire life. We can love many people throughout our life, but the ones who we grow to love when we love ourselves is where the key to long term commitment lies.

I know that many fans of the show are upset and I also have many issues with the writing and development of Sun Oh's character. Regardless, I also feel that Love Alarm challenges many of the expectations that arise from cliché k-drama tropes. There are so many things that I would change about the show, but I have grown to accept the fact that Sun Oh deserves better. But, I'm not sure if Jojo would have been the source of his happiness and I only wish that his ending didn't feel so incomplete and heartbreaking.
