Very Uneven

What is good about this series - the general story, some of the writing, the second ML and many of the supporting cast, the look of it - is very very good. What was bad - the rest of the writing, some of the characters like the mother were totally plot-driven and nonsensical though the actress did her best - and the ML who is goodlooking but may be one of the worst actors I have ever seen in a major production - was really incredibly bad.
The FL, I can see why she is so popular, she is a good if not great actor but had a very appealing onscreen charisma. I'm not sure if she is dubbed, but her voice is also extremely lovely.

Much Like the First Part

Same virtues, same faults. This is a very uneven work which does seem to trade off the FL's popularity, but does have bright patches in the look of it, the way many of the secondary (especially the older) actors do so well, some of the humour and the fact that there seems to be less cliched catfighting among the female characters, the grudges that drive the story have more depth towards the end.
There are still some painful lapses in characterization and plotting, though much of the script is pretty good, and the acting is likewise very uneven, with many of the supporting cast outshining the leads.
