My theory: Ka-Chung probably died once in 2014 and Chor-Ying "sacrificed" herself to save him. In that process, she is transported to the dimension that Yeesa is now in, just like how Yeesa did when she asked for one more chance to time-travel and save Ka-Chung in 2020.
I had the same thought too. I love Ka-Chung a lot in "Leap Day" and writer!Ka-Chung is just not what I signed…
Also if you have an instagram account and can read Cantonese, you can follow ~yautaitung or ~fongemantv, they are media analysts and have been talking about this drama a lot

If you know how to read and write Cantonese, you can join various HK forums (but they can be very toxic & their criticism can be harsh so just a head's up)
Some details that the director shared in a news article about Chor-Ning's grandfather in Episode 5, I will post…
The director shared that the actor playing Chor Ning's grandfather was supposed to read out the suicide letter himself but couldn't because he got a stroke early in the year (he's recovering well, don't worry!). That's why they could only get Cecilia Choi, the actress playing Chor Ning to read out the letter instead.
I think it would be much more heartbreaking if we did get a scene of the suicide letter read out in the grandfather's voice ;-(
Some details that the director shared in a news article about Chor-Ning's grandfather in Episode 5, I will post it in the comment below as it involves a huge spoiler.
EDIT: content warning for suicide in the comment below.
If you know Taiwan's political situation in this time period that this drama is set in, you will be even more heartbroken. Read about the White Terror if you want to find out more.
The first five episodes were so bad but it actually gets better with every episode. It's pretty refreshing to see Jessica as a scatterbrain, in contrast to her many previous professional and composed roles. Moses' comedic acting is nothing new but I've always enjoyed his acting.
Halfway Review: The premise was very interesting but the drama is way too long. There was no need to have 40 episodes for such a drama and it's pretty disappointing that many of the episodes were just filler episodes. The writing was also quite boring and there was too much exposition in the dialogue. The scriptwriters really need to learn how to show, not tell.
The whole "China medical team good, natives medical team bad" theme was so uncomfortable to watch. The way they portrayed the natives as superstitious, stubborn or just plain-old crooks and the Chinese have to come in to save them is literally the Chinese version of white saviours.
I watched AvenueX's review of this show and she said that something shocking happened in the first episode. May I know what it is? I don't mind spoilers.
I too think the grandfather has the ability to either travel between different dimensions or time-travel.
But as the plot involves parallel universes and the director said that everything is linked, I'm sure everything will make sense in the end.
