Unique drama, not really romantic, but pretty costumes!
This was my first C drama that centered around flying and I have to say, it was pretty educational and different.
I 100% picked up this drama because of the leading actress, Tan Song Yun, I basically watch everything she is in and after the disappointment of Master of my Own, I was really crossing my fingers for an epic romance with Flight to you.
Sadly Flight To you was not the epic romance c drama I was longing for, but despite that, there was a strong emotional connection between the leads. I felt like the leads had a more teacher / student relationship, than two people falling in love at work. I didn’t feel the chemistry between the two of them at all.
I haven’t seen anything Wang Kai has been in, but judging from this drama, I feel like he could have done so much more. He was pretty much emotionless and cold. He was really good at acting as a male who knew how to fly and knew all the rules that goes into flying, but he didn’t really convey his affection towards the FL as much as I wanted when I watch C dramas.
I did like the costumes and the sets were pretty unique, you can’t get any more unique than airplanes right? I am really appreciative of the 1960’s inspired dresses for the flight attendants and the fitted pilot uniforms.
The drama was really informative and it was interesting to see what kind of storylines they could create focused on flying. I do think the pacing was a bit off at times. It was a little too center focused on certain arcs, where I felt like the script writers were just dragging it out.
The writers do address, sexism in the work force, sexual harassment on the job and other items that were interesting to watch. I know it’s a little different in China, you can totally hire someone based on weight and looks (nothing like America) so it still boggles my mind when they mentioned one of the flight attendants needed to lose weight (she is obvious model thin), but you take it for what it is.
Overall, I liked the first half of the drama more because it focused more on the relationship between the leads and it was like a cute little slow burn. You could feel the tension between the two. You were kind of rooting for a physical aspect to pop up, but it’s more emotional than anything.
The story arcs with the mom and the medical issues in the second half was just a drag and the relationship between the main leads kind of just fizzles in the back burner.
Overall, I would go into the drama for something different and pretty to watch, but not really a rom-com in my opinion.
