Ep 4. The Best Feeling in the World Is Knowing There's Someone on My Side

Love Alarm season 1 episode 4, "The Best Feeling in the World Is Knowing There's Someone on My Side," follows the aftermath of the revelation that Jojo has turned off her Love Alarm and the confusing love triangle between Jojo, Hye-young, and Sun-oh. While Hye-young is clearly head over heels for Jojo, Sun-oh's feelings are a bit more complicated. As the three navigate their emotions, the episode explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships in the age of technology.

The episode begins with Jojo trying to avoid Sun-oh after he confesses his love for her, leaving him feeling confused and hurt. Meanwhile, Hye-young struggles with his own feelings for Jojo and the role he wants to play in her life. As he helps her escape a difficult situation, Hye-young realizes he wants to be more than just a friend to Jojo, but can't find the right moment to confess his feelings.

Amidst all the romantic drama, Love Alarm's creator, Brian, works on improving the app and introducing new features, including the controversial Love Alarm Ring, which notifies users when someone within a certain distance has feelings for them. While this concept excites some users, it also raises questions about privacy and whether or not love can truly be forced or manipulated.

As Jojo continues to grapple with her feelings for both Hye-young and Sun-oh, she seeks solace in her childhood friend, Gul-mi. However, Gul-mi's own love alarm situation becomes complicated when she discovers that the guy she likes has feelings for someone else. This further emphasizes the idea that while Love Alarm can be helpful in identifying feelings and connections, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a happy ending.

Throughout the episode, the themes of loyalty and betrayal are explored through different storylines. From Jojo's conflicted feelings towards her friends and love interests, to Sun-oh's realization that his best friend has been lying to him, it becomes clear that in the world of Love Alarm, trust and honesty are crucial for any relationship to succeed.

Overall, Love Alarm season 1 episode 4 is an emotional rollercoaster that delves deeper into the intricacies of love and technology. While some characters find themselves hurt and confused, others realize what they truly want and make difficult decisions about their future. As the season continues, it will be interesting to see how these relationships play out and whether or not Love Alarm's influence will have a positive or negative impact on its users.
