From the first scene, the doctor came in and told Sam that they found a donor heart. Zoe was safe! But she was still very weak, and Sam constantly by her side with Belle, waited patiently and suddenly Zoe opened her eyes and everybody was happy.
Zoe then got a visit by Tai Hung (remember Patrick Tang's character with tha dumb girlfriend who refused to leave the plane despite bomb threats? The girl's name is Ding Dong by the way, how apt) and they all asked where is Ding Dong? Tai Hung then said Ding Dong got hit by a car and was brain dead so he donated her internal organs. He didn't know the heart went to Zoe and everybody deduced that Zoe got Ding Dong's heart. Although saddened Zoe vowed to live a happy life, which was something she has been doing for the past 39 episodes anyway. So all ok?
Noooooo, more drama. Zoe got fever, there was signs of infection BUT NOT REJECTION OF THE HEART. Sam and Belle were again by her side, very very very very worried when next morning Zoe woke up, free from fever. Sam and Belle were so happy they hugged each other and Sam planted a kiss on Belle's cheek. Ruby and Paul saw that and Ruby talked to Belle whilst Paul asked Sam whether they were both lovers or friends? They both laughed.
Back outside, Sam and Belle had another heart to heart talk. They both acknowledged their relationship has gone beyond ex-lovers or friends. They were family and as Belle wished Sam the best of everything with Zoe, Belle said that she wanted to leave HK for a while and visit her mom and dad in law as well as Coco. Sam bade a very happy farewell to his "Vincent" in a way of course. And Belle went to the place where she took Vincent's ashes and threw it in mid-air and in her heart talked to Vincent for one last time, that she was ok.
Now the Zita-Isaac-Donald dilemma must end right? Donald told Isaac that he wanted a fair chance to woo Zita. Both gentlemen agreed. But Zita had a tough time choosing though neither had made their move yet. Zita felt for both she said, her mom Tina ran away when asked who she should choose, then Zita got a call from Isaac, and the same time the same call from Donald, both asking her out.
Perhaps HK's most favourite destination for confessions of love and going on ones own way that is the beach, Zita met Isaac and Donald, both coming from her left and right, she looked cornered. Anyway Zita wanted them to be honest. Isaac said "You must choose Donald. He was with you first.." whilst Donald quickly said "No! Choose Isaac, because you liked him first". And Zita said in effect let's be friends again and the 3 agreed. So that's it I guess.
Zoe left the hospital a healthy and happy girl. She didn't look sick even at her worst. Anyway, Sam took her to the landing site (you know where planes land) and Zoe was complaining why he took her there and Sam said; "We met at the airport, we fell in love at the airport and I just wanted to ask you to marry me right here..." and Zoe was shocked but she said "Let's close our eyes and count to 3, if there is a silver bird (plane) flying past us..." and they did and guess what? Yep, a plane flew by. Like it was so strange eh since they were at the airport!
So they planned their wedding and Belle sent Zoe a gift, a wedding dress whilst Coco gave Sam her best wishes. Belle said she will come back for the wedding.
And so they held their wedding at the airport and Belle was late. As Zoe and Sam walked down the aisle, both Sam and Zoe slowed down their pace and suddenly Belle appeared, smiling clapping happily. Then Belle took the place of Vincent and gave the "best man's" speech, saying fate brought them all together and they must cherish it.
One month later, Belle went back to work as a ground crew as she was before. She met Zoe and Sam after they came back from their honeymoon. The 3 stood together at the upper floor and observed the happenings below...
- Paul and Ruby pak-toh whilst working.
- Zita, Isaac, Roy, Chris (all in uniform) and Donald (in a very smart looking suit-he did say he might go back to become a pilot once his dad is ok but you and I know that will never happen) all walked together, laughing happily like they did when they were cadets
- New cadets making the rounds with Taylor and Tony guiding them
- Coco and fellow air stewardess and stewards walking and chatting
- Tina doing the rounds with newbies
And the series ended with Zoe, Sam and Belle walking together, laughing and acknowledging that the airport was where all fates entertwined and all walks of life can be seen.
How I see it? Life goes on, and that is what the airport is all about, saying goodbyes, saying hellos, in the end life goes on.
My only problem is this;
- where the heck is Zoe's 7 brothers AND Paul when she was almost dying, TWICE?? Even at her wedding, nobody! Why? I think her parents is dead but brothers, where art thou?
- hmmm right after surgery Zoe had make up on and very little tubes in and out of her body. Very strange eh?
Anyway one interesting fact. Check out the almost ending scene as Belle, Sam and Zoe were talking to one another, you will see lights flashing at their direction! Ahh fans taking pictures.
As for the ending, the actual ending, I would have to say this ending is pretty comprehensive. I like the ending, I like the way the camera zoomed over everybody, and telling us what will be their ending. But that little voice wanted a different ending... hear me out..
I wanted Belle to find a new guy, or the chance of a new love. I wanted to see the ending where she again dropped her bracelet without realising it and as Zoe, Sam and Belle all walked towards wherever they were walking as in tonight's episode for the ending, I was hoping a handsome popular guest star (maybe Tony Leung, maybe somebody really famous) ran towards Belle and asking her.."Miss, is this yours?" and Belle smiled and said yes and as Belle walked away I wanted the guy to look at her in a very charmed and besotted way and as Sam and Zoe teased her about this guy, she looked back and that guy who was walking away also looked back, both locked eyes and smiled and then went their own ways BUT with the possibility that Belle will find love again.
Wouldn't that be just romantic??
Anyway the ending wasn't like that. I was just glad TVB didn't end it with everybody standing in line and say something really preachy like "Airport, the window to hellos and goodbyes".
The performance? Since tonight is the end, I won't say much. I will talk more in my review proper.
Thank you for reading my thoughts and sharing with me your thoughts.
