This drama is a very ambitious story about a female pilot and her struggles in surviving the misogynistic world and having her own personal career growth. Cheng Xiao’s growth from a freight pilot to a passenger flight Captain was very well done. Finding a mentor in Gu Nanting, she slowly evolves to be a responsible and mature person, while falling in love during the process. Seven nails this role and as always it’s a joy to watch her.
The romance is ‘slow burn’ and the leads really sold the romance. Gu Nanting’s personal issues and the way he overcame it over time was relatable. Frustrating at times but was in sync with his character. Wang Kai brought Gu Nanting to life.
The biggest flaw of the drama is the last few episodes before the finale. They dragged the plot with unnecessary legal stuff, mother’s arc etc. All these we could have done without. It brought down the momentum.
Overall still a good drama. A solid 7.5. Would have been a 8.5 if it landed well.
