I'm watching it right now! As someone who has seen the original Korean version, and even the Turkish version (though I don't recommend it b/c it's very superficial), I can say that I think the jdrama remake is better so far on almost every level. I completely agree with your assessment! Terrific article!
Can we all take a moment away from hating those who shall not be named ;D and appreciate the fact that Jae Min is starting to truly see and care about Sun Hwa : )
do I have to see s1 b4 s2? i'm confused because some of you said it's remake?
A lot of things that season 2 is based off of, the entire backstory and the characters and their relationships and abilities, are all explained in season 1, so I would suggest watching it. I think you'll be pretty confused/lost if you don't. Plus the first season was REALLY good in my opinion so I think you'll enjoy it, too : )
I've watched the first couple of episodes and it's definitely not a reboot, they allude and flash-back to things…
A soft reboot...yeah I think that's a good way of putting it. And I also noticed the change in tone of the series, plus major character regression of the FL; she's back to the way she was at the beginning of season 1.
Just saw the first five min…is this a reboot instead of sequel? I liked season 1 but it end with cliffhanger.

Terrific job on your first article! And thanks so much for explaining this drama. I'll admit when I fist read the synopsis I wasn't super interested but now I'm definitely going to watch it. Thanks you so much! : )
