The second season of Netflix's Korean original series “Love Alarm” will hit the streaming site March 12.

The streaming giant announced the release date of the series' new season Wednesday, dropping two teaser photos.

Based on the web comic of the same name by Chon Kye-young, the series centers around a mobile application named Love Alarm, which tells its users if someone likes them. The app also send signals if someone who “liked” the person is within 10 meters.

Led by director Lee Na-jung, the first season followed an entangled romance between three high school students ― an orphaned girl, Kim Jo-jo (Kim So-hyun), a popular guy, Hwang Sun-oh (Song Kang), and his best friend Lee Hye-young (Jung Ga-ram).

The series has gained international popularity since premiering in 2019.

The new season will welcome a new director Kim Jin-woo, whose previous works include the Korean adaptation of the hit legal series “Suits” (2018) and crime mystery “Queen of Mystery” (2017). The three lead actors from the first season will continue to play the main protagonists.

“The three meet after time has passed (in the new season),” Netflix said. “The new season will show how the three cling to their past relationships and how they have become obsessed with the number of alarms on the app, even to the point that it affects their social status.”
