[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] The global online video service (OTT) Netflix original series "Love Alarm Season 2" surprised netizens by hinting at an unexpected character.


On the 12th, unexpected attention focused on the cast of the Netflix original drama "Love Alarm Season 2," especially on online communities.


This was because the name of actor Song Kang-ho suddenly appeared in the character introduction of "Love Alarm Season 2" on major portal sites.


Netizens reacted with confusion at the appearance of Song Kang-ho, not Song Kang who was confirmed to appear in Season 2 following Season 1. In particular, since Song Kang-ho was listed as playing a high school student role who would have a romantic storyline with Kim So-hyun, some netizens responded cheerfully, saying, "It's an unusual combination," and "Is this the emergence of a fresh romantic chemistry?"


In response, Netflix stated, "We are aware of the error," and "We will promptly correct and update the cast list."

Meanwhile, "Love Alarm" is a drama based on the webtoon of the same name on Daum, depicting a 100% straightforward romance story involving a girl who cannot hear the alarm from the app 'Love Alarm' that notifies you if someone likes you, and two men who want to understand her feelings. Kim So-hyun, Jung Ga-ram, and Song Kang form a love triangle.



Song Kang-ho confirmed his appearance in director Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Broker" in Japan last August. He is expected to work alongside Bae Doo-na, Lee Ji-eun (IU), and Kang Dong-won.
