Story 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...

Rome, Italy. A lively and romantic city that seems
to suggest that a hot romantic love affair is about
to begin. Sum arrives in Rome through work and a
Chinese person in a foreign place will have special
memories of everything he meets. Sum and Shan
meet by coincidence and the sentimental Shan
sees this as the arrival of her destiny, with Sum
also developing an unusual feeling for her. In the
bustling romantic atmosphere of a foreign land, the
two spark off a heated love affair and experience for
the first time a taste of passion and a promise of
love. However a great misunderstanding causes
Sum and Shan to believe that they have been
deeply misled and what started as a love sent from
the heavens has become a great disappointment.
Sum returns to Hong Kong with his colleagues
deeply upset and hurt and the sensitive Shan is
left alone in the foreign place, feeling very sorry for
herself. At this point, she meets with Chi who has
arrived later and under his enthusiastic pursuance,
Shan overcomes her unhappiness. In the words of
Chi, Shan's appearance is a blessing, a
confirmation and he quickly chooses her as a
target, selecting her to be his partner for life.

During the short time that Sum was in Rome, the
most memorable thing for him, apart from Shan
was a youth - Ying Fung. In an incident, Sum
developed a very strong dislike towards Fung and
felt that he was always lazing about and not
serious at all. Altogether, this trip to Rome was a
terrible experience for Sum and moreover, his bad
times created a chance for his good friend Chi to
meet and start a love affair with Shan. The
reunification of his parents reveals to Sum that
when his mother left all those years ago, she was
carrying his younger brother Tong Yik Fung when
she left and what is more surprising is that Yik
Fung is the Ying Fung that he met a year ago in
Rome.

When he hears that Shan is to transfer from the
Australian base back to Hong Kong, Chi shares
this with Sum and Shan meets him again as Chi's
fianc閑 and the forgotten memories once again
stimulate their hearts and feelings. Sum offers his
sincere congratulations to Chi and Shan in order to
allow Shan to relish in Chi's love. During this time,
Fung starts to fall in love with So Yee who works in
the aviation authorities, but during his chase, he
finds that So Yee only has feelings for his big
brother Sum, however he only sees her as a little
sister and does not care for her love. As a result,
Yee becomes another obstacle in the relationship
between the two brothers.

Applying for the pilot's school with Fung and also
full of confidence, externally bold but internally
sensitive is Tung Hei Yan. Yan has little
confidence in love and men and has a rather
rebellious nature, wanting to do better than men in
everything and causing some friction with Fung.
With a simple and naive outlook on life and having
been showered with love from his rich parents who
are directors in a large enterprise, Man Ho Chung
develops love at first sight with Yan and her
rejections only spur his desires on even more,
even making him apply to become a trainee pilot to
be near her. After many examinations and as she
is waiting for the results as to whether she will be
selected for training in Australia, Yan finds some
clues about her father's identity and heads to
Japan to search for him. In order to prove his
commitment to her, Chung and some friends go
with her and as Fung is at a rough patch with his
family, he decides to go along as well.

Originally thinking that he could put the Rome
incident behind him after Chi and Shan's wedding,
Sum finds that destiny is taunting him and the
road towards a perfect wedding is a complicated
triangular love affair. The misunderstanding
between Sum and Shan is discovered by Fung and
he finally decides to let them overcome their
differences and let Shan make a fair choice
between him and Sum. Shan's decision brings
much relief to Chi, but the experience leaves a
thorn in the relationships between the three waiting
for the sensitive one to feel the pain and that
person is Chi. After this incident, the relationships
between the three become even more confusing as
Shan and Chi bring together the love between Yee
and Sum. With the addition of Yee, this four-
person affair becomes an even more difficult
situation.

During the training in Australia, Sum and Fung's
brotherly relationship develops into a teacher-
student situation. Sum returns to Hong Kong to
continue his piloting work and the brothers have a
chance to work together. As a group of young
pilots take to the skies, Sum and Chi are also
affected by their spirit and together they work
towards their most important examination. At this
vital point, Sum finds out that he has a condition
that will affect his ability to continue flying and he
is plunged into hesitation and despair as he
worries about his career. Fung senses something
is wrong and finds out about Sum's illness, he
decides that this should not be allowed to continue
and using the safety of the aircraft as a reason, he
reports Sum to the authorities, saying he can no
longer be a pilot. Just as everyone is celebrating
Chi's success at becoming the first Chinese
captain, the announcement is made that Sum is to
be transferred into customer services. The ups and
downs of flying are like those in life and to continue
to pursue one's goals even at the bottom of a
valley, there is a belief that there will be a day
when you can fly high again.

Sum faces the challenges of his new work with
optimism and positivity. At this time Yee's concern
and support for him touches him deeply,
consolidating his love for her. Originally their
pairing was the wish of Chi and Shan, but when
Shan sees Sum and Yee acting so lovingly
together, she starts to feel jealous and this is
discovered by the sensitive Chi. Finally, Chi makes
a decision to return to his home in Australia in the
hope that Shan can make her decision again. On
the other hand: Fung, Yan and Chung's friendship
is tested. Chung is still madly in love with Yan, but
Yan's relationship with Fung has developed from
antagonism to that of affection resulting in an
awkward triangular affair. An incident occurs that
shows Fung his care for Yan is nowhere near that
of Chung and together with Chung's inadvertant
pressure on him, this makes him decide to fade
out and distance himself from the others.

At this time, Sum and Shan's path appears to be
smooth and free from obstacles, however Shan
finds out that the more she gives to Sum, the
greater she feels the love that Chi gave to her and
this is something that Sum can never offer her.
Who is the one she loves the most, who is the one
who loves her the most, will there be a fruitful
result for the love between Shan and Sum? When
Fung sees Yee sacrificing herself but pulling back
from Sum, will there be more conflict between him
and his brother? With Fung, Yan and Chung's love
affairs and friendship in a stalemate position, will
there be a new development?
