Do not be put off by the visible triangle on the drama's poster. "Leap day" is a very enjoyable show to watch. The production values were absolutely solid from its soundtrack to cinematography. The end result is an immersive journey through exquisite backgrounds.

The time travel element could scare off some people, but it absolutely isn't overbearing. It perhaps pushes the plot forward, but what fuels this drama is friendship and family. Not even the obvious triangle can take away the focus off these two core elements.

The series' flow of time can somewhat be confusing at the beginning but as it goes on, viewers will quickly grasp the framework of the show.

The finale is neat and ties up all loose ends, but does fail to deliver an emotionally satisfying ending. Despite this fact, "leap day" is a worthy choice if you don't mind a dash of sci-fi in your romance.

Brutally young was as an enjoyable ride for 2/3 of its run. It kept you on your toes while slowly unraveling the plot. However, it reached an impromptu climax that it was never able to recover from. That absolutely ruined it for me.

The last 1/3 of the show was cringe worthy, it will probably divide viewers. For me, it felt like watching two different shows from that point onwards. I could see how others may feel differently, especially if you reframe the whole series as the downfall of a man.

The bottom line if you're considering watching this series is to know what you're getting into.
