It's not bad
Yeah.. this was better than the original.
In terms of story atleast which seems like an outright outlandish claim, but hear me out.
The basic plot was exactly the same
Beach - NC scenes - City - Unnecessary drama.. and what would come here would be "rushed ending to the actual emotional core of the story". But here, as a pleasant surprise, it didn't feel quite so rushed.
I'm going to say that's because they managed to get a concise plot from the mess that was actually Love Sea.
This version was much better balanced, five episodes in an island setting and the rest in the city - and while I still carry the complaint that an abrupt tone and genre shift will bog things down, the reduced filler scenes actually helped make a more continuous plot. Again, it's the exact same story, just executed better.
The chemistry was not bad either - not better than Fort Peat though (their chemistry was pretty much the sole thing that saved Love Sea for me), but not bad I guess.
Even the side couple was much more palatable in this version, a lot of unnecessary scenes and characters were cut out or had reduced screentime.
Add to that the only constant in all possible version - beautiful beach and ocean cinematography, always a win in my book.
So yes story, okay chemistry, not a bad production after all.
