As of 27 August 2026, His Regret Began the Day I Took Off is officially available as a 61-episode GoodShort series. GoodShort Moments also published a 19-minute 9-second YouTube video on 25 August. The public cut is an official sample of the drama, but the checked records do not map it to all 61 app chapters or establish that it contains the ending.

The exact title has just begun appearing as the first U.S. Google completion for the partial phrase “his regret began the day.” The exact-title search results inspected were almost empty outside GoodShort itself. That is an early query-language and answer-change signal, not a public search-volume estimate or proof of broad popularity.

Use the official GoodShort routes

Open GoodShort’s 61-episode series page for the chapter navigator. Play the official GoodShort Moments video for the 19:09 public cut.

Official record What it establishes What remains unproven
GoodShort series page exact title, synopsis, completed status and 61 chapters that every chapter is free for every account
GoodShort YouTube video official channel, story identity and 19:09 runtime that the video contains all 61 chapters or the ending
GoodShort app record service identity and in-app access framework title-level price or permanent unlock conditions

Start with the public video if you only want to identify the story. Use the series route if you need a particular episode or want to check whether the app edition continues beyond the cut.

Make sure this is the pilot-rebirth drama

GoodShort’s official synopsis gives the identifying details:

  • Nadia gives up flying for her husband Gavin and becomes a housewife;
  • Gavin is involved with a flight attendant;
  • his mistake contributes to a fatal onboard disaster;
  • Nadia is reborn one year before that event;
  • she returns to flight school;
  • her goal is to outfly the husband who betrayed her and reclaim her career;
  • GoodShort currently marks the English-language series complete at 61 chapters.

The title “took off” therefore works twice: Nadia leaves the marriage and returns to aviation. Similar regret-and-rebirth dramas may use a cheating husband or second-chance plot, but the cockpit, Gavin, Nadia and flight-school return are the reliable fingerprints for this one.

Does the 19:09 video contain the full drama?

The official YouTube metadata gives a runtime of 1,149 seconds—19:09. The official GoodShort page separately presents 61 chapters. Neither record supplies a chapter map showing that the continuous video includes every one of those chapters.

It is safest to describe the upload as an official public cut, not “all 61 episodes free.” If you want to know where it stops:

  1. watch the final scene of the official YouTube cut;
  2. match that scene against the numbered GoodShort episode navigator;
  3. note the next chapter rather than relying on a repost’s “full movie” label;
  4. check whether the app route is locked for your account at that point.

GoodShort can change promotional video length or app access independently. This page will not convert a runtime into an episode-equivalence claim without a source.

Is the whole series free?

The checked sources do not prove that all 61 chapters are free. The YouTube cut was publicly playable on the review date, which supports free access to that particular 19:09 item only.

For the app edition, inspect the live account before paying:

  1. open the exact series page;
  2. find the first chapter that is not immediately playable;
  3. record whether GoodShort offers an ad, coins, a membership benefit or a timed reward;
  4. calculate the amount required to reach chapter 61;
  5. confirm the renewal period before starting a subscription or trial.

Do not import a coin estimate from another title. Chapter price, promotions and free-opening ranges can differ within the same app.

What happens in the story?

The official synopsis supports the premise, not a complete ending recap. Nadia’s first life ends after she has surrendered her own aviation path and Gavin’s conduct helps produce a catastrophe. Her return one year earlier gives her time to re-enter flight school and change both her professional future and the chain of events around the flight.

The 61-chapter structure suggests repeated training, relationship and revenge turns, but the public records checked do not support a scene-by-scene ending explanation. This guide therefore does not invent whether Gavin is arrested, whether the flight is saved or whom Nadia ultimately chooses.

If a later official episode synopsis or complete publisher cut makes the ending verifiable, it can be added with the episode number and date. Until then, a confident unsourced finale would be worse than a clear boundary.

Who is in the cast?

The official GoodShort pages checked name the characters Nadia and Gavin but do not provide a complete actor list tied to this exact edition. Those names are roles, not performer credits.

The thumbnail and video show identifiable faces, but visual matching against another short drama or social account is not enough. Vertical-drama catalogues can reuse story engines, alternate cuts and localized titles. Cast information should come from GoodShort, a credited production record or an attributable performer announcement.

Is the YouTube channel official?

The video is published by GoodShort Moments, and GoodShort’s current public app records link its official service and media routes. The upload also provides the exact drama name, GoodShort deep link and the same Nadia/Gavin aviation synopsis as the series record.

Those connections make it a stronger source than a channel that merely copies the title and artwork. For any other upload, check the account identity, publisher link, intact credits and runtime before treating it as authorized.

Avoid modified APKs, Telegram continuation links and pages asking for payment outside the service’s normal checkout. An exact plot match does not make a mirror official.

Why this China-focused site covers it

The supported relationship is with the platform export ecosystem. GoodShort’s public records name Singapore-based New Reading Technology Pte. Ltd.; Chinese industry research connects GoodShort’s North American launch with 新阅时代 and the outward expansion of Chinese short-drama businesses.

That context explains the service and format’s connection to China. It does not prove this English-language title’s shooting location, cast nationality or original script language. The series page itself labels the current edition English, and this guide does not turn platform history into title-level production credit.

For the wider taxonomy, use our U.S. guide to Chinese short dramas, which separates mainland micro-dramas, localized English vertical serials and compact conventional C-dramas.
