I started this show years back and for some reason it didn't hold my attention then, but giving it a try now was a completely different story. At first, I wanted to watch this for the synopsis and for Tokito Saburo (since I had just finished watching Dr. Koto Shinryojo). Kaname Jun is also a good reason to watch, too!


I'm not entirely sure what to say about this show, honestly. There are no confusing or long terms to misunderstand, there are not any extreme dramatics or cheesy romances, but it does show its age in terms of phrases, fashion, the way people interact with each other, etc. I feel like maybe they were aiming for more episodes, or maybe a movie or special. Though it doesn't really feel like the show ended on a cliffhanger or left things unresolved. It just feels like there was supposed to be more.


The cast must have had a very hard time while practicing and filming this show; everyone in the tower, and most likely everyone cast, must have gone through some intense training to make sure they were close to a perfect match with reality. A lot of the personal issues, along with work troubles, seemed very relatable to me, as well. Watching as everyone found their place within an already formed team after a new airplane controller was added, how they created trust and respect among each other to expand outward and create a happy, healthy, and honest work place was fascinating to watch. Toward the end of the story it was like everyone had been doing this for a long time, it all came together easily and looked flawless. Considering some bits of the story and the characters involved, I would have liked to of seen them more in the spotlight or heard more of their backstory, but all in all each character was truly unique.


If you like thrilling shows where you can learn a little as you enjoy an incredible story with an extraordinary cast, shows where you feel like you're fully mesmerized by the suspense and excitement on the screen, where it's almost tangible, then please, definitely give this story a try!
