Don't Miss This Good Drama
Luzhou is a city located in Sichuan, China with a population of almost 5 million. Their Luzhou Yunlong Airport is situated 17 km from city center and is able handle 2 million passengers per year. Using this backdrop, the drama Flight To You shares trials and tribulations of a career in the airline/aviation industry through a 'made up" Luzhou Airlines. For me, the drama did justice to share how the industry has evolved through the years for China. As I watched, I did at times wonder if such professional airline practices are being adhered to in real life. However, with the fact that the story has been written with so much responsibility there must be some form of reality that has been experienced, and carried out, and now shared with everyone through the eyes of a love story between Flight Instructor Pilot Nan Ting and female Pilot Cheng Xiao.
Actor Wang Kai is perfect in the role of Nan Ting. His stoicism, his fear of repeating pain from the past, him falling in love and holding back. And all the cuteness in being clueless in the 'love' department were all played out to the best. I yearned for lots of hugs and kisses, but as I watched, I came to appreciate the struggle of the character and waited patiently till the scene came and it felt right.
However, to me, the protagonist of the drama came in the form 1.62m (5ft. 3in) actress Tan Song Yun. Her role as female pilot Cheng Xiao is of fire and brimstone. A character not to be missed. She is smart, confident and able in an industry monopolized by men. As she is principled and can be defiant when challenged, she is one tough act to tame. This gives Nan Ting lots on his plate to work on. The chemistry and partnership between these two are on point and satisfying to watch. They brought out the yearning and angsty feeling in me from one episode to the next. Every role in the supporting cast were well placed and gave the entire drama a most prominent placement in my choice of dramas going into 2023.
True to life, if airlines and pilots were as efficient and responsible as depicted in this drama, we will truly have 'Safe Flights" indeed.
A very good show. Please give it a try.
