And training is expensive as well.

It's pretty good so far. ML here is a typical CEO jerk, but FL is selling it. The setting is also fresh.
However, it's unrealistic to become a captain in 3 years. It takes longer to train for regional airlines captain, around 5 years, and a big number of flight hours is required. And you don't become captain right away, first you work as a co-pilot. For major international airlines it takes even longer to become a captain.
I get that ML wants FL as a poster girl for his company, but experience and safety must come first. I hope this will get explored in the plot, I don't wanna see a super pro FL out of nowhere. This should realisitically be out of her league.

I have a big back log and not enough time. I'll get to it eventually, I think. But I've read it's part of some big fictional universe consisting of various dramas? Can one get into it without watching others?

If you only look at MDL scores, then sure, you may think it has universal acclaim. Which is far from truth, because score sample here actually is rather small and most of the users are very biased towards idol romance dramas. Anything but this genre usually gets very low scores compared. Some people here even downvote a drama just because it's not their favorite genre and lacks romance, talk about being shallow af.

It's not even 6.7, it's 6.4 now. Below many other idol romance dramas even, lol. Rightfully so, the plot was ass in the later half, tbh.

Yea, the title of this article is misleading af.
And funny thing is, POJ and most of these idol romance dramas are not even that highly rated on Chinese aggregators, such as Douban. Most of the rave comes from MDL, tiktok reels and some western social media, but score sample size here is still laughable compared to CN. Typically what's underrated on MDL is highly praised on Douban, and seeing what actually is highly rated on MDL I'd say I agree. I'm not saying Douban isn't prone to bot armies or scorebombing, but CN audience clearly likes variety and are more into good plots over visuals.

Agreed, there are a lot of those on MDL. Behind a pretty wrapper POJ has very mid story, especially the later part. Some people just put on rose glasses and can't seem to take them off, lol.

People be shallow like that, utterly captivated by visuals.

Yea, the author should have just made a list of top romance idol dramas of the year, clearly that's the genre he's mainly into (as well as most of the MDL audience). SiP sticks out on this list like a sore thumb, lol.

Didn't like most of them, lol. My favorite one this year is Unveil: Jadewind.
On the list I only liked Swords Into Plowshares and The First Jasmine.

You clearly don't know when to stop. Blocked.

I don't need to defend my opinion from the likes of you who are inventing bs on the fly, especially the f was that first post. Good day.

What are you even on about? Besides this nonsense, why not bash on the actual plot - ML didn't like rookie FL for being a rookie, then got annoyed she called him out on his bs, then started hovering over and whiteknighting her instead of letting her work in peace and learning stuff by herself. And let's not mention "saving" her from being taken advantage of while drunk, only to take advantage himself in the end. This is all tired, tropey bs thirsty office rom-com lovers love, I guess. Just not for me. I need something smarter and fresh, or at least funny.

Spooky in Love was utter baity tropey sh**, tbh. I'm tired of recent korean dramas baiting the audience with misleading plots in trailers, only to deliver something else entirely in the end. Last decent kdrama I watched was around 2 years ago. Also, how does it relate to this one? Those aren't really similar.

Looks like a drama right up your alley. I may come back in 10 years gap if FL matures enough for this to be watchable, lol.

Maybe not to you. But my tolerance to tropey characters like these eroded a lot over the years. Starting from her infantile manner of speech that I always find grating in FLs, to her super naive behavior that makes her look dumb, to situations she gets into where tsundere ML needs to constantly save her from. And that's not to mention the mediocre office plot going on in the background. Just a nope for me. But you go ahead, def a mustwatch for thirsty ones, I guess.

Ok, not for me. Too dumb, tropey and FL's infantile character is annoying.

Which year is in this drama? I've noticed old mobile phone models.
Also, what a tropey office plot 😂, even FL is talking in that tropey infantile manner.

Oh? A very relatable plot premise. We're basically already there irl.

Cruel Intentions Joseon era style.
