Drama Digest:

Yeesa has frequently journeyed through time and space to alter her destiny, but this time, when she awakens a year later, she is in a timeline where the individuals she knew in the previous timeline aren’t precisely the same as they are today. She tries to navigate her way back after feeling lost and out of place in life, only to run across new challenges this time that could potentially alter her fate once more.

The Feel-Good Part:

How everything is interconnected and how time travel functions. The issue of memory and the idea that our memories make us who we are. What would we be without them since they define who we are? Every single one of the characters and their unique narratives. Co Ying and Ka Chung have intelligence (not all the time but most of their decisions are smart). The developing relationship and mutual trust between Ka Chung and Co Ying, as well as their understated romance. The bad guy, I suppose there wouldn’t be any drama if he weren’t the way he was, but that’s what happens when a bad guy gains access to time travel. Every episode is thrilling (most episodes end on cliffhangers, forcing you to watch the following one)

The Disappointing Factor:

The sentimental moments felt hurried because there was so much going on in the past and present; as a result, they weren’t as memorable. A lot of the emotional scenes simply passed by quickly before transitioning to the following scene.

In-Depth Analysis:

Yuet is another item that I wish had been handled more skillfully. He didn’t seem like a crucial character who was carefully constructed, even as he propelled the plot toward its climax. His history with Kami and his intentions for playing the part were too absurd. I’d rather say that I wish his character growth hadn’t been so hasty. For the viewer to not be confused by the things he did later in the drama, there should have been more scenes outlining his emotional outbursts. All things considered, this time around, the stakes for the characters are significantly higher and the plot is much more dynamic than it was in Leap Day. The latter episodes have been exciting to watch and fulfilling when the plot gradually comes to a satisfying conclusion with little obstacles.

Star Power:

In 940920, the emphasis is on memories and how they impact the characters’ lives. The mystery behind Ka-death Chung’s mother’s and Yeesa’s need to live in a parallel reality with individuals who don’t share her memories are two interesting story points that are driven by the ongoing quest for missing memories. Chau-Sok (Chor-grandfather), Ying’s who has dementia and who most vividly depicted the way the loss of memories can affect one’s life, is introduced to the viewers already in the first episode. As his condition gradually robs him of more and more of his consciousness, his growing hopelessness and helplessness are heartbreakingly obvious beneath his smiles and good times with Chor-Ying. The storyline centered on him, which developed gradually over the course of the first three episodes and to its climax in the tragic scene in Episode 5, was incredibly well written with the right amount of pacing and stellar performances from Yu Chi Ming and Jo Koo.

Overall Opinion:

It operates according to established standards and makes sense. It’s not overly complicated, and it’s enjoyable for viewers to learn information alongside the characters. Overall, it’s a fantastic story that will provoke much thought.
