As far as I can tell.. they seem to have the same exact amount of crazy overly-dramatic writing, just these come with added bonus of 10x more ~cuuteness / dorkiness / etc to make it more bearable, at least in the ones I've watched so far, lol xD (admittedly
mostly "love stories")
I personally prefer episodic shows that I can "grow with" for years over time (I think 20ish per season, ie Sept thru May "school-year" / US style, is a good number, or the amount just under that btwn 10-16ish over a couple months here & there for cable & most other non-US series, etc), but most of them I never really want to actually marathon- they're good in their small-but-long-lasting doses, one at a time, spread out over months.
Then there's these "shows", which are basically like reeeally long movies that I somehow can't get enough of, haha. And while I love movies, them ending too soon was always a bother- getting addicted to chars whom I'm only going to enjoy for less than 2hrs & never see again? What a tease! This way, I get to have many, many hours with certain chars/actors & at least ~length-wise, it's kind of like reading a book, in that they are so flexible (as opposed to most of my procedurals which are self-contained stories in every ep, even with seasonal arcs, etc) & easy to consume at one's own pace.
