Go on and complain about the lack of closure in the romance aspect but for me, the fact that the love triangle is the weakest point of the show absolutely delighted me.

People need to understand that this whole drama is Yeesa's story. I do agree that the driver was dealt with an unfair fate and I don't mind an spin-off episode focused on him, but this is a show that begins and ends with her. The character development of Yeesa was written beautifully, with her starting off as a naïve and passive damsel in distress in the first few episodes to someone who took responsibility for her own life and decisions.

There are so many dramas that make the female characters' lives revolve around romance but I am glad that this isn't one of them. Yeesa's main priority is never on romance, even when she meets the two male characters. Maybe she did have some interest in Ryan or she feels safe enough to share her feelings and thoughts with Ka-Chung but she has never been obvious in pursuing a relationship with any of them (or at least makes things official). She has her father and her best friends, and it makes sense that her concern will be them if she were to die.

For me, the pivotal scene of the show was her conversation with Fiona after Fiona's suicide in Episode 8. The way they had to work through the losses of their lives (Yeesa's mother and Fiona's baby) and forgive themselves for the decisions they have to make (or the mistakes that they thought they were responsible for, directly or indirectly) was written so well! Such a beautiful, touching moment between two female characters, and it is one that I hope to see more in Hong Kong dramas.

Recently, this drama became Drama of the Year (Hong Kong) in the Asian Academy Creative Awards and I am happy for them because this drama is so deserving! Compared to other dramas released in the year, Leap Day is so quiet and intimate but it is precisely this reason that the writing is able to shine through with the help of the gorgeous cinematography.
