As someone who read the original novel, I was thoroughly impressed by the series. The story was paced very well. It also focused more on the side characters, which helped us understand their dynamics more. It's definitely a step up from Addicted, though Addicted will always have a place in my heart. The casting was also done well, each actor/actress portrayed their roles quite well.

This was the first time I didn't want them to follow the novel's direction. I wanted them to be happy. Experiencing the pain of the ending (1st book) the second time doesn't hurt any less. I'm looking forward to seeing how they tell the story of the second book in S2.
