The back and forth comparison with this drama and its first version compelled me to record my own experience. I'm jumping on the bandwagon for those who agreed the first one was better. This one was trying to follow the same format and formula as the first one, injecting bits of mystery and melodrama in the storyline just to make it a little different but ended up incohesive and jarring. Have a trio of girlfriends each with their own entirely unique personality, taste, and love lines - Check! Present a broken long-term intimate relationship that had gone through an on-off even helter-skelter ride - Check! Present a strong new love to rival the first - Check! I think I will stop here before I ultimately enter spoiler territory. But that gives you some of the format and formula I mentioned. The first problem I should mention is the transition. Okay, we've shown this and that, it's now the phase for realization and jealousy, so let's depict that in this episode. And BAM! Here's your jealousy rage... How about character development? I think that due to the new elements introduced in this series, it failed in managing to fit those smoothly in a 16 episodes format. While the characters are rushing through these emotional phases, I on the one hand am only just beginning to get into their involvement. 'Twas very tasking to keep in-synched with main characters' behavior, not until we reached the end with them. There was very little I can appreciate in this drama. There was perhaps the music, the filler stories, the depiction of romance which were all at least at par with the first series. I would also agree with those who claimed that this had been casts with better male lead actors. These might all be enough for you to give this one a try or if you're just wanting to find your own comparison.
