Good Luck ;D
Brief Synopsis
Having achieved his life-long dream of being a pilot, Shinkai Hajime ·s®ü¤¸ (Takuya Kimura ¤ì§ø©Ý«v) is first officer on an international jetliner and is now working to become a captain. Unfortunately for him, he appears to have got on the bad side of Captain Koda Kazuki »¥Ð¤@¾ð (Tsutsumi Shinichi, ³ö¯u¤@) who has become a harsh taskmaster since a tragic air incident 12 years earlier.
To further complicate matters, despite the fact that he always seems to be arguing with her, he finds himself attracted to the scowling, straight-talking, somewhat obnoxious mechanic Ogawa Ayumi (Shibasaki Kou ®ã±T©¯), whose parents died many years ago in the plane crash for which Captain Koda feels he is responsible.
Follow the adventures of the ground and air crew and capture a glimpse into a life above the clouds

Words can't express how much I love this series. I think it is one of the most enjoyable television series I have ever watched. I am so grateful I was urged to watch it. I had watched a show called Golden Bowl with the delectable Takeshi Kaneshiro and enjoyed it. On the basis of this, it was suggested that I watch Good Luck, a Japanese drama starring someone named Takuya Kimura. I had absolutely no recollection of who this actor was except for the fact that he apparently played Faye Wong's very cute Japanese love interest in 2046.
As I watched the show however, it provided a really fascinating insight into life behind the scenes of aircraft crew – pilots, flight attendants and the mechanics. I initially watched the Japanese version with Taiwanese subtitles and was then extremely happy to discover a JTV fan sub done by dedicated fans which contains English subtitles. The English subbed version contains extremely helpful explanations of flight terms and instruments as well as explanation of references to Japanese food and television programmes. Admittedly it has caused me some perplexity as there are certain differences between the English and Chinese versions which only a Japanese-speaker will be able to help me resolve..
The series is comprised of 10 episodes and I was very sad when I came to the last episode - I felt like I was saying goodbye to a group of good friends. Unlike many dramas, I actually liked something about each and every one of the secondary characters. This is extremely rare because I will normally only like a few of the characters and find the others too annoying. This is truly an ensemble piece of acting and the storylines between secondary characters are as interesting as those concerning Kimura's central character.
