Love Alarm is a Korean television series that imagines a world in which a phone app alerts the user when someone who likes or loves them is within a ten meter radius. This happens to create a pretty wrenching love triangle between the three main characters, too. If that sounds silly, consider what life would be like if you could never hide your feelings for anyone. On the surface the show might seem like a young adult drama, but it's actually very clever social commentary as well as a cautionary tale about popularity and allowing gadgetry to take over those parts of our lives that are the most intimate.
Season two of Love Alarm just came out on Netflix, so there are fourteen episodes in all now to watch. There are also rumors of a possible third season, but nothing confirmed yet.
