Of all the puzzles that I have mentioned when listing similar puzzles this one wins by far and is definitely appropriate for similarity!

Why post the exact same puzzle twice???

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.

This was an interesting puzzle for me! Its solvability wasn't marked, so ! I was curious if it could be solved by line and color logic alone. It could not.

I was able to place the reds and some of the black squares including those in rows 27 and 28.

Then I looked at the left 4 in row 28 and found a quick contradiction if it was just to the left of the black 2.

But even if I missed line/color logic above, it looks like one gets stuck at the end. Smile logic is needed in columns 12 and 13.
