Wu Zheng is a 30-something airline captain whose respected by his colleagues and juniors. Despite being popular as a capable pilot, he rejects those women interested in him. He just wants to do things in his own way.

One day, a 16-year old boy appears in front of him claiming as his son. It’s hard to believe but the boy, Xiao Han, does have a lot of resemblances. It was years ago when Wu Zheng married his fellow airline staff, a stewardess. However, their marriage only last for a year. When she divorced him she’s already pregnant. But, she didn’t say anything to Wu Zheng. 

Unfortunately, the ex-wife suddenly passed away, the son is left without care. His stepfather disappears, taking all the stuff and sells the house they’ve been living together. Xiao Han has no other choice but to find his real father.

I’m not even Liu Ye’s fan, but he’s so amazing. He portrays a realistic independent single guy, unlike in many other dramas. In other dramas, single guy at his age is too perfect. They’re dandy, good at work, cool cook, and have a lot of money. I don’t think the perfect package exists. Guys are not raised to maintaining a clean house, left alone making his own meal (other than instant noddles). At least, not in my culture. Most single guys are hopeless who choose to eat outside, have their dirty clothes laundry, have ugly towels..hahaha. Please don’t take it personally, guys, that’s why you need women. 

Xiao Han is also an interesting character. Raised spoiled, then turned orphan can drive people helpless. But, this guy is a stubborn boy, who’s driven by the anger. He’s fussy and demanding, uses every single opportunity to debate with Wu Zheng’s poor live conditions. Their interaction is really really funny.

Ariel Lin plays Xiao Han's homeroom teacher who's worried about his life, not only as a student but also as a lost child. She's the typical meddlesome character who makes everything dramatic. XD. Her relationship with Wu Zheng started at the wrong foot and they spend 20 episodes pissing up each other. I like it. Can't wait to see them falling in love.
