depending on the story i like/dislike the leap. when it comes to asian shows , the leap is there to signify some important point and not just drag the story . it could be to show
1) couple survives all odds
2) change of heart
3) preservence of love
4) destiny
5) love conquers all
6) life goes on....
7) the couple matures
in two of my fav shows there was a leap of 5+ years . in delightful girl...the story started with puppy love under difficult circumstances. the leap signified many things ...the leads had matured and become force to reckon, the antogonist does not get his way completely and is remorseful, none of the three are ready to move on hence the preservence of love.
in my lucky star , the hero is betrayed, he becomes a ruthless person who waits to take revenge, however when he sees female lead after 5 years , all he wants to do is hold her and his hate vanishes, he beguns to turn once more into nice person (love wins over hate). also the couple is initially brought together when hero is rejected by his first love and you wonder if he uses her as substitute because of his stubbornness and rebellious nature but 5 years in close proximity with his first love does not chnge his feelings for ah xiang (female lead) (preservence of love , destiny).
in hyd and goong series , the leap shows maturing of characters and destiny.
for most part i think the leap adds an element of reality in the show
