This drama is unique in a lot of ways. It has a very original storyline of a woman's struggle to become a pilot and the man who wants to change how airlines are run. They both have a lot of obstacles and challenges along the way that make this drama both educational and interesting.

The Storyline
As I said earlier, the basic storyline is both unique and interesting. I also like that there aren’t a lot of cliches here (except for the male lead being an arrogant CEO.) In addition, the female leads step sister isn’t spoiled and mean like you would expect, she’s actually very sweet and sympathetic towards the female lead, which is quite refreshing. Another thing they did right here is to show what pilots, upper management and flight attendants have to deal with in the industry. The storyline is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time so I have no complaints here.

The Acting
The acting was quite good. I especially liked the male leads facial expressions when he was going through a difficult time, you could feel his pain. And the female lead portrayed her joy in flying quite well. She really shined when she was in the sky piloting an airplane. None of the actors overacted or was stiff in their roles. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the acting in this drama.

The Romance
The romance was quite good in this drama, it was very natural, happened organically over time and was well portrayed. The main leads had great chemistry with phenomenal kissing scenes too. There’s back hugs, cuddles, long romantic kisses, princess carrying, and some steamy scenes too. I also like that they had a couple of secondary romances too. I give the romance aspect of this drama top marks.

The Cinematography
The cinematography was quite good, they really made you feel like you were in the cockpit of an airliner as it was soaring through the clouds. Every scene of the airplane flying was very realistic and well done. The airport was huge and very true to life too. You can tell they had a big budget for this drama.

What I Didn’t Like
I didn’t like how ambiguous the drama was with the timeline. One minute the main leads are together and the next minute they’ve been together for a couple of years. Then it jumps to their fifth anniversary with no warning. And not telling us what happened to the female leads best friend’s boyfriend bothered me, I wanted more details. But my biggest gripe is when the leads breakup for no good reason other than noble idiocy and the female leads tendency to push others away. I’m not against a breakup in a drama if it’s warranted and there’s a legitimate reason for it. But this breakup was obviously done solely to add more angst to the drama and move the plot along. When writers are lazy and don’t feel like coming up with a good reason they just throw in the noble idiocy breakup. I really dislike dramas that do that.

My Overall Thoughts
Even though I disliked the noble idiocy breakup and the ambiguous timeline, I still thoroughly enjoyed this drama. It has a very unique storyline, the acting is very good, the cinematography is amazing and the main leads have great chemistry. I would definitely recommend watching it.
