I could understand and enjoyed Part 1. But in Part 2, maybe because I was a bit sleepy, maybe because I waited a week between watching the two parts, maybe because there was so much time travel, body swapping, reincarnation, love triangles, sisters & sisters-in-law etc, I just could not keep track of who was who, who was in love with who and so on. Until I just couldn't care anymore. 🤷‍♀️
