A Cozy, Thoughtful Watch
Leap Day is actually my first Hong Kong drama, and I ended up really enjoying it. It had this calm, mellow vibe that I wasn’t expecting but totally loved. The snowy setting gave the whole show a unique and almost dreamy atmosphere, and the cinematography was really pretty—simple, but effective in setting the tone.
One thing I liked a lot was how the time travel wasn’t just random or "just because." It actually made sense and was tied to the female lead’s birthday on February 29, which was a cool touch. It felt like there was a reason for everything that happened.
What stood out most to me was how the story focused on the main character’s personal growth. The romance and love triangle were there (and yes, I liked the second male lead more too), but it didn’t take over the whole plot. I appreciated that it was more about her figuring out her life and learning to take control, especially since she started off feeling a bit lost and unsure of herself.
The friendship between the three girls was also super wholesome and one of my favorite parts. It felt real and supportive, and added a lot of warmth to the story.
I like the simple yet pretty poster picture, It rightfully gives what you have to expect from the drama.
Overall, Leap Day felt like a quiet, emotional journey with just the right touch of magic. If you like slice-of-life stories with a bit of fantasy and a focus on character development, it’s definitely worth a watch!
