Leap Day has an interesting premise for time travel: the FL, Yeesa, who was born on a leap day travels to future on non leap years at the moment the 29th of February should be and isn't. I found this idea new and original and being a time manipulation trope super fan, I set out to see what they managed to do with it.

Unexpectedly very good! Time travel is a notoriously difficult trope to use since the very fact to travel in the past implies the butterfly effect repercussions to the present. Yeesa travels for one whole day every year between two leap years. She finds out about the future and tries to change it only to realize that changing destiny need an ultimate sacrifice.

The story is very well written and everything is pretty much straight forward. What would you do, how far are you willing to go in order to save yourself or a person you care about?

The major problem I had with the drama is the character of Yeesa: she was so annoying, does not know what she wants and is convinced to be the misery magnet! I disliked her, so much so I wished for her to fail! LOL
I must be frank, too, when I noticed the first plothole (idiotic one: during her first time travel, even though she does not speak a word of japanese and does not understand a japanese doctor talking to her, she understands perfectly a j drama dialogue and j TV news!!!), I was so disappointed that I stopped paying attention!LOL The characters are not really likeable, some are quirky but the mains are ...meh! There is lots of philosophical mambo jambo about life and responsibilities and sacrifice. The fl looks like Park Min Young's (WWWSK) twin sister: very distracting! She time travels once a year in the moment the leap day( Feb 29th) should be and then proceeds to aimlessly run around. Why does she time travel? It was never really explained: something to do with a Buddhist temple and a talisman: very spiritual! Another main character not in the cast list but it should be: the white truck of doom features heavily throughout the drama. There are two guys vaguely in love with her. There is something that really really gets on my nerves, extremely so: a guy is hit by the truck so instead of calling for help, she cries, wails, shakes the victim and hugs him!

The ending is open. She is single. She was in a coma for a year but is fully operational as soon as she wakes up?!?!? The dead guy never existed. She seems to be in a parallel universe. And the whole thing is just a novel!
I probably should watch the second season if I want to find out what is really going on!
Beautiful cinematography, though!
