Delightful Drama

Spolers? Nothing really specific though some elements are lightly touched upon.

You have read the reviews so you know what "Flight to You" is about.

The cast includes two actors that appeared in "Master of My Own": FL Tan Song Yun and Liu Chang. Wang Kai himself, is impressive as ML in "Flight to You". If you have not watched "Master of My Own", please do. I highly recommend it.

We follow the FL through ups and downs of being a female pilot and the doubts that some have about female pilots flying planes. The opening was nice in intro'ing the characters. Cheng Xiao faces obstacles from all quarters as a pilot and overcomes them with the eventual aid of a surprising cast of characters. Even the "bad guy" turns out to be a love-hate relationship with the viewer. There is at least one surprising relationship that I did not foresee, that is lightly touched upon by the end of the show. The detail paid attention to as to the cabin crew has me wondering if someone actually used a consultant. It was a nice touch showing the difficulties and operation of the cabin crew. Makes me appreciate the job more.

As for the production, the CGI is not the best. I don't expect it to be comparable to movies. No points deducted for it. Live shots are well done. Sets as they are work very well.

Story? I liked it. The cast brought the story to life. Camera work and directing added to it.

Watchability? Despite liking and enjoying the story, with a talented crew and cast, no scenes really jumped out at me. I can recall scenes from "Master of My Own", "Legally Romance" - a must watch, "The World Owes Me a First Love", and many other shows. If someone asked me to mention any scene that pops out? I couldn't name one in "Flight to You". I can describe the drama from beginning to end. And that is good enough. I probably will rewatch it at some point - it's a good show with a great cast and good story as well as good production.

Thoroughly recommend it. For some reason, I'm a sucker for romance dramas. Not all of them, of course. I'm particular. And "Flight to You" makes my list for must watch.

Next show to watch? I'm going to go check out Wang Kai's works. I found "Flight to You" by liking Tan Song Yun's performance in "Master of My Own". Yep, chain-watching actor's shows to stumble upon other great actors. Which leads to other shows... a never ending cycle.
