The main draw of the drama is the acting of female lead who is able to portray the charming, likeable and strong-willed personality of the character. Although the actress is not exactly the prettiest by mainland Chinese drama standards, she fits the role well. would say the drama would have flopped if not for her.

What the drama excels in, is the story of how the FL stood her ground despite the odds, as well as depicting the work of pilots and aircrew, through interesting incidents and the lives of the cast.


The male lead’s acting is on point by not impressive, but it may be hampered by his character setup (he is supposed to be someone is not expressive) and by the annoying choice of the director to convey his emotions by the tapping of his hand whenever he is anxious, nervous, concerned, or overly emotional.

It is a typical drama where the ML rejects the FL due to a tramautic past and is ridden by guilt, creating tension and anticipation for the audience on whether and when the couple will get back together.

For viewers who wish to see more romance, this drama is severely lacking. The 2nd main leads are not featured much, and the romance between the main leads happens in the last 2 episodes.

I felt towards the end it’s less of a workplace romance drama but more of a occupation promotion drama littered with romance. The ending was rushed and had too much of big China propaganda. The surmise of the male and female lead appears to be work above romance, country above self, and no worklife balance.

I personally enjoyed the drama pretty much, but fast forwarded towards the end, and tolerated the bits where the support cast were just really being vases which is a shame.
