Viewer honest opinion

I binge-watched this series to the end, and I'm not happy about it. I get that it's genre is more drama rather than a rom-com, and that there bond to be cliffhangers. I just believe this masterpiece didn't deserve the ending it got. we as viewers don't appreciate this, for there won't be a second season. But I have to give credit where credit is due, because the storyline was beautifully thought out. I love the slow burn in both the romances and the overall drama, and as it gives great character development as it was shown by chengcheng, however I feel that there are many stories that have yet to be told which could have made a great 2nd season.

This narrative took an unconventional route, as this plot provided insight into the life of a pilot and the flight crew. This series captured many moments of the pilots' rigorous training, which was shown on screen, as well as the behind-the-scenes paperwork or procedural measures they had to endure before takeoff—These were eye opener moments for me as I have never given thought of their responsibilities beyond piloting the plane.

It also addresses the challenges in their relationships, the competition among coworkers, and the numerous fears they face on a daily basis. I appreciate the effort, the level of acting, and the writing that went into making this series a masterpiece, and we, the viewers, must appreciate that the series focuses more on the inner workings of a pilot rather than being watered down by the romance, but I strongly believe that there should be a healthy balance between the two.

Even so, it is completely unfair that all but the main leads' relationship problems were resolved, or that they failed to say goodbye, we need closure! Additionally, it was unfortunate that Chengcheng was not informed that she was on the plane he was co-piloting. There was no indication that there had ever been a relationship! To end this rant I felt robbed of the many possibilities that could have been addressed in the finale.

Dislikes: (1) The main leads confessed to late,
(2) The series was drawn out in most parts
(3) there wasn't much chemistry between chengcheng and liu shu [female lead throw off the whole chemistry]
(4) the ending left alot unsaid; no closure
(5) the break up could have been more dramatic, if that was suppose to be the ending of the series
(6) supporting roles romance issues were resolved but not main leads
(7) felt like the series ended in the middle

Likes: (1) the clothing style
(2) Riley wang acting was on point
(3) storyline [airlines]
