hey dramame, good evening! i am scouring the internet for dramas to watch as i have seen most anyway! i think i might watch this but could u tell me a bit abt it lol! like does it have a happy ending etc????? thanksxxx^.^
hello.. 🙂
Air city is a love story between a government intelligence agent and an airport operation expert. It’s a story where the loves and lives of the main characters are set in realistic, yet spectacular situations. The depictions of special occupations such as airport employees and government intelligence agents is especially excellent. The drama not only shows the loves and lives of its main characters but also has interesting career-related episodes which occur within the airport setting and a tightly structured and effective plot line.
What i like about this drama was the details of how the Airport work, the story it self is simple about the life and love of people who work at the Airport and around it (that is why they call it “Air City” ), the plot is a mix of drama,romance, and action,if u ask me about the ending…. well nobody dies…..but can not say that everybody end up happy…. LOL…. but from my point of view the ending was perfect for this kind of story.
