Few TV plays in China are about aviation. This play is very attractive in subject matter, very high-end and high-grade. Handsome uniforms, decent jobs and lingering love of pilots have satisfied many viewers' fantasies about the middle class. Moreover, it spends money on location shooting all over the world. The first part went to Australia and Japan, and the second part went to England and France. The crew chose eye-catching scenery to shoot, and then interspersed with several European love legends and classic English songs, bringing out a romantic and aesthetic feeling.
In the first film, Wu Zhenyu, a long-lost film champion, joined in, and together with Ma Dezhong, his role was pleasing to the eye. In the second film, Csillam and Hua Dan, who are still young and cynical, are a large number of talented senior actors, as well as young handsome men and beautiful women.
The first film was shot in 2003. As a classic in the golden age of Hong Kong drama, this drama also has considerable influence among mainland audiences. In the past ten years, after several personnel changes, the original S4 was independent, which also aroused the collective nostalgia of many fans.
As for the evaluation, the first part mainly focuses on the love triangle between Sam, Bell and Vincent, and the growth of S4 and Michelle Ye from young flying cadets to formal pilots. The two main lines go hand in hand, mixing family, love, friendship, inspirational and other elements. The characters are full, the plot is relatively complete and the degree of completion is high. The second part has no clear main line. Basically, every character on the stage has one or more story lines, and the screenwriter didn't make good use of them and twisted so many stories into one, which led to the top-heavy story.
