I love most of the cast, enjoyed most of the series. But the final scene annoyed me. It's not that this is a bad ending, but a lousy finale. I felt the writer or director gave up on the script, and the actor was not available. To build this beautiful love story and not even show the man's sweet face and eyes seeing her again, or hear his warm voice upon the return after a year? Ridiculous cop out.

8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2018 South Korean romantic drama series with 32, 35 minute, episodes

Han Yeo-reum (Chae Soo-bin) struggled hard together a job at Incheon International airport. However, her clumsiness and tendency to act on her emotions has caused some of her supervisors to look down on her ability as an employee. Yeo-reum has a series of encounters with a man who has amazing strength and agility and saves her from having a fatal accident. When Yeo-reum is transferred to a new team she winds up being supervised by Leo Soo-yeon (Nam Da-reum), the man who saved her. Soo-yeon prefers to keep a low profile but events keep happening that reveal his unusual abilities. He realizes that Yeo-reum is often misunderstood and begins helping her by fixing her mistakes and encouraging her to be confident. In turn, although she has first hand experience with Soo-reun's unusual strength, she keeps it secret which earns his trust. With a slice of life of a passenger services team, there is rarely a dull day at the airport. Will understanding lead to love for the somewhat unlikely pair? What happened to Soo-yeon that resulted in his exceptional ability?

Spoiler 🚨 Overall I liked this very much. It was well acted and had enough interesting things going on in the airport all the time to keep you engaged. The main story was well paced and believable.. You got to know the whole cast of main characters and enjoy several side relationships. I also thought it was unique and interesting that there was something very special about his abilities. I don't know South Korean culture well enough to know if this accurately portrays the way some look on disabilities. In the United States I know we like to think we are further along but from first-hand experience I can say that people do still discriminate in the workplace. The toughest disabilities to deal with are the hidden disabilities. Because the male lead used a assistive device his disability was hidden and, with the device, he had super human strength. That became one plot point - him trying to hide his different ability but still act in situations where superior strength was helpful. The backstory on him and his brother was very interesting and they gave you just enough detail as it went along so that you got little bits that kept you guessing and forming predictions. I liked their boss because she was everything I envision in a good supportive boss and I thought the way the female lead flourished under her direction was very accurate in the way a good leader can bring out the best in people. Where I felt it lacked a little was towards the end, and that might be a bit of cultural misunderstanding. To me it seemed like he was a little bit old not to get that if he just gave it a year or so to be back in the wheelchair that he would have the rest of his life to experience all the things he wanted to. It felt really selfish to me that he was willing to die because, at that point, there were so many people around him that would be hurt by that. I was glad when he finally made the decision to do what he needed to do and I usually don't like when they go away somewhere for a while but in this case it made sense. The one thing about that which was not consistent was he didn't even contact her during his time away. As much as he hated being away from her for even a day it was hard to buy he would go that length of time with little contact. Then in the scene when they finally reunite it just shows the back of his head and I would've liked to of have seen the expression on his face after reuniting with her. I really like the second guy in this one and I found it very admirable that he was willing to have any role in her life even as just her friend. There were several times when second guy could've been selfish and made it difficult for the male lead but he cared about her enough to take care of the lead guy even when it would've been more advantageous for him to take his chance with her. The ending felt a little rushed after we had gone through so much with him being willing to die. There were also some loose ends with some of the other couples where it felt like there should've been a happy ending there as well. Those that prefer a more realistic ending may be OK with these things I mentioned. For me I like well tied up and perfectly happy because I watch these as an escape from adulting and all the difficulties to go with it. Still recommend this just be prepared for some sad moments.

The ending will keep you guessing...will she? Will she not? Will he return or not? All actors were great in their parts. Set in Incheon Airport, I liked the scenes where they showed the pilots talking to the control power. I never really thought about all the different kinds of people that go through or stay daily in the airports, like the homeless. This will open your eyes up and you'll appreciate even more the staff and their commitments to customer service. The employees and the way they played their roles reminded me of working in a corporation. Everyone is watching everyone's next move. There were quite a few hidden romances going on asides the main two characters. I don't want to spoil this show at all. It's about a young girl who has a bit of difficulty never getting into trouble just because she's young and hasn't matured yet to a veteran worker. The young man is struggling with something that happened in his youth that caused him to have a disability and he just wantS to be like every other young adult; work and fall in love. It's a touching movie and heartbreaking at some points. And, some lovely, caring parts even amongst co workers and friends. Not anyone could play the main mans role. He was perfect at it.

I'm still at Ep7, but I felt compelled already to make this review out of a mixed feelings of curiosity and frustration.

The male and female leads are actually very charming and doing a good job, so far. I wouldn't have watched this far into the series if the plot and subplots were not interesting. They are, and you would get hooked wanting to know what will happen next. Still, it was quite a struggle even to reach Ep7. There were many times I was annoyed and wanted to stop watching, especially in the early episodes. The reason? I am really annoyed at the character of the female lead - not the actress, just the character. She gets worked up for the most shallow and, hate to say it, stupid reasons and then makes a lot of mess and problems for herself and the other characters. Maybe for some people this kind of script is fun, but for me it's just really unsettling. However, I am very curious about the plight of the male lead, so that seems enough to keep me hooked, so far.

At this point, I don't know if I'll be able to finish the series. But now that I've aired my annoyance by making this early review, I found a new reason to continue. If I don't get to finish the series, then the reason is already here - it would mean the character of the female lead did not improve in the next episodes and just made it too unbearable to watch, i.e., the series was more annoying than interesting. Still, I'm giving it a chance.

Full of action and future technology. Thats why I think this is a extraordinary drama and future tech drama forever.

I tossed up whether to write this or not, but in the end I did enjoy this show quite a bit. Working in a similar major transport organisation I identified with almost everything in the workplace especially the nutcase passengers at full moons, weird staff who don't like to do work, office romances, major disruption, dodgy bosses... the lot.

I did find myself saying to the screen "GO FOR THE SUPER HOT GUY WHO IS TOTALY INTO YOU!!!" more often than i should have, as I am superficial enough to want to marry a super hot guy and have very good looking tall children (I'm vertically challenged), but this is a K-drama and they don't always make sense in my world when there's a storyline in play.

The scene with the parents and the grandparents by the lift - holy moly, that was so my family it's not funny. I'm not even Asian and it's not really in my culture to arrange dates. It was so funny and so relatable and so awkward that I just wanted to crawl into a hole for the poor character. I seriously laughed so hard and died at the same time. It's moments like that one that make these shows enjoyable.

It was quite enjoyable. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but very enjoyable to a hopeless, superficial romantic :)

Ah K-Dramas: they have tons of different genres but the most beloved is the romance genre. I have seen a bunch of romance k-dramas and while not everything is perfect about this show, I really really loved the main couple. They are both really likeable characters who are so much fun to watch as they grow more fond of each other. I loved that there was no toxic element to the relationship, and the dreaded cliche episode 14 breakup never happens either, (which I actually kinda like if its done well, but it does become tiresome).

The airport backdrop was actually pretty interesting - I fully anticipated it being boring but it definitely wasn't. I know a lot of drama happens at airports so some of the stories weren't too hard to picture really happening.

Were there some cliche moments? Definitely. Was the robotic arm subplot a bit contrived? Absolutely. However it was very entertaining. And at the heart you have the question of acceptance of disability. It was totally believable and understandable that our ML would act and feel the way he did. I only wish we had gotten a few more answers at the end. Overall I was very satisfied and loved the happy ending. Great acting all around, Lee Jehoon and Chae Soo-bin are two of my very favorite actors so that was a treat.

The only reason I didn't rate it higher was for some plot holes and the fact it doesn't have a ton of re-watchability. But overall a really great love story!
