Synopsis

Ethan Cole spent his first life in aviation and died at the end of it with a name known across the country. He came back in the body of an eight-year-old, on Flight 8236, the flight he had once taken with his father. He knew what the flight did: it went down and no one on board walked away. At 9,000 metres the fire started along the wings. The fuselage split and the freezing air came in. The passengers around him began to panic. Ethan was the only person on the plane who knew what was coming next. He had a child's body and had to stop the crash and get his father out.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<

My favorite of his modern-set work and honestly my favorite short drama full stop. You get the complete unhinged-psycho performance, and I'd say his acting leveled up here. If you're working through his filmography, this is the one.

The plot is hard to follow and never really comes together. With all the flashbacks and dream sequences, the pacing has no tension at all…
