Despite being heavy on the romance, I maintain that the best thing about this drama is the logistical aspects of aviation — the procedures, the decision making side of things even the political side of managing an airline. The romance, I imagine, is the sugar to make the medicine go down but it tends to be the most prosaic part of the show, made even more vapid by the love polygon that emerges to expedite matters. I know for a fact that people do find love in the workplace and that adulterous relationships formed in the workplace are often far more common than most of us think. On the back of all of that, we have a male lead who is dragging his feet despite being actively (and obviously) pursued by a subordinate-apprentice and a childhood friend. To compound things further, the woman that he actually likes has another admirer in the form of his best friend. The conclusion is clear. Gu Nanting might be a decisive dictator in the cockpit but concerning matters of the heart, he errs on being fainthearted. It’s hard for him to say “no” to one and “yes” to the other. I don’t know if such men exist in real life but he’s been saddled with a trauma — a deceased girlfriend who crashed her plane — as the rationale for unerring obsession with safety. As far as excuses go to fob off women, it’s not a bad one but it’s not the only excuse he has. It might not be a good look to be involved with an apprentice although no one has brought that up as an issue so far except his only rival, Ni Zhan, who has no reason to be generous.
