Synopsis
The old Hong Kong Airport area was where the star of our story Tong Yik Sum grew up and with the aeroplanes flying over his head every day made him fall in love with them. Later, due to a breakdown between his parent’s personalities, his mother left him for a faraway place, leaving Sum with a wish to become a pilot to be able to bring back his mother and reunite his family. His family background caused the intelligent and sensible Sum to become even more responsible and from a young age, he is able to look after his father. Through this hard work, he gradually reaches his goal in becoming an airline pilot.

As a senior first officer, Sum’s wish all along is to become the first Chinese captain and thus is very strict with his work, with very high expectations from himself and because of this, he is highly respected in his work. As far as Sum is concerned, when flying a plane, to follow every process and procedure is not a difficult thing and with experience it has become second nature to him; conversely, on his communication skills with other people, he finds it hard to grasp, especially when it comes to affairs of the heart, proving the separation of his parents had a deep and lasting effect.

Sum’s childhood friend Ling Wan Chi became an aircraft enthusiast with him and then went on to become a pilot as well, but Chi has a different philosophy on love. Chi with Sum that they should seek out true love, but he will not take things a step at a time like Sum and lose out on some golden opportunities. He will take the driving action and even though others see him as the flirtatious pilot, he has his principle in that he is flirtatious but not rude, he takes this ‘branding’ in his stride. In the same airport, flight attendant Lok Yi Shan also has the dream of finding true love, but her fate is that she has not yet met with it. Until Shan meets obstacles with her work and decides to resign and ake a holiday, where she meets Sum and Chi under the arrangement of destiny and starts a journey where they all seek out their true love…
