I didn't really have many expectations, as I have seen pilot/cabin crew themed dramas before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Considering it was a special, the pacing was quite fast, thus there was no time for character development or exploration, but I don't think that took away from the story at all.

The acting by each male lead was good enough. Nagase Ren is doing a pretty decent job, and his character was likeable. Kitamura Takumi was okay here, I feel I have seen better roles from him, but he delivered all the same. The supporting cast was great too, especially Micchan and Reiko. I really appreciated their roles. The female lead (Kuroshima Yuina) who I remember from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, I felt like she was able to show a slightly different side to her, but I don't know if her performance was memorable enough.

Overall, I enjoyed the little moments between the male leads, the sentimental aspects, and the overall 'persevering' vibe the story gave me. It's a decent watch.
