MY CHEEKS HURT FROM SMILING

the timing of this drama couldn't be anymore perfect.

gave me hope, and the serotonin I wanted
and more
for the first time, I think I have a comfort watch LMAO
never in my life would I have thought it would be a C-Drama

minus the lil family drama, this was perfect fluff
no misunderstandings or third act breakups

watch this. and maybe rewatch this.

I am still smiling, gosh making me miss things I never experienced.

tbh, i don't know what i was expecting when i jumped into this drama two days ago, but i definitely don't regret watching this cdrama. as someone that has always been a sucker for youth and romance dramas, "when i fly towards you" hits all the marks. the development between the lead and the second lead couples are nothing unique, but the writers were able to perfectly encapsulate youth and the journey of growing up in a mere 24 episodes. you are immersed in their love story but most importantly lu rang and zaizai's growth as individuals - it makes you reflect on your own life and reminisce about the old days. overall, this drama brought me a great sense of joy and nostalgia. i wish i could rewind time to experience watching this drama for the first time again.

Can't get enough and still hung over

I just finished watching this drama for the 2nd time and I'm as hung over as the first time!!! I want their love story and envy them so much, I want to cry because that's how good it is!!!!!! I think I might watch it for the third time. Every episode got better and better and never got boring. I loved all the characters (except the mean girls). Even though the drama finished at a perfect place, I can't get enough of them!! I loved the first lead couple as well as the second lead couple & Guan Fang!
The first time I watched this drama, I have to admit, I hated the female lead but you end up loving her and even thanking her for the way she is since she made this love story possible! I admire her very much. Close to the end of the drama, Zhang Lurang thanks her for giving him the confidence he lacked back then and the way she keeps making him feel special. (In other words, if Rang Rang wasn't annoyed with Su Zaizai, you shouldn't be either ; ) )
I agree with other users who say that this is a crap-free drama. No unnecessary drama, or tragedies. And I love that. This drama warmed my heart from start to finish and I don't think ill ever get tired of it. Unlike other Chinese dramas, this one did not feel dragged or boring. Actually, I wouldn't complain if it had more episodes but this drama was perfection. Loved all 24 episodes. : )
This is probably the perfect example of "She fell first but he fell harder" (I'm tearing up)

A Youth Themed Cdrama Couldn't Go Wrong

I really like the plot, the acting, the chemistry, the cinematography. And how i love that this story is not only focus in the romance term , but it's also focus in growing friendship (they're just silly little highschoolers🥺). I keep remembering my high school era while watching this drama, it has that nostalgic magic. Never get tired of them (i actually have watched it a long long time ago, but i just rewatched it recently).

i love this so so so so much.

WIFTY is an actual masterpiece of a drama. This is so beautifully and perfectly crafted, I have literally ZERO complaints. There were moments where I thought, "oh this is going to be the part I hate or have complaints about," and each time I was proved wrong.

I cried and smiled a lot. Wow, this drama has the power to pull on your heartstrings. Yes, it's a happy ending. it really gives off, she fell first and he fell harder and now they've equally fallen for each other. Thank you WIFTY, for gifting us a green flag couple.

In the first episode, there's a misunderstanding and a mix-up of names. I thought that may be a big part of the plot and I was annoyed because it would be so cliche if every episode was just names being mixed up. But, they resolved it within the episode. There were a few other misunderstandings that other dramas would've dragged on for episodes and episodes, but WIFTY kept it real and short and solved the misunderstandings fairly quickly, which I absolutely love. There's no misunderstandings that are dragged on.

Everything seemed so realistic that it genuinely felt like I watched these characters grow up and become adults. Everyone has character development and becomes a better person in the end.

There are no love triangles or overbearing SMLS or SFLS. There are a few characters who have interest in the FL and ML, but they're quickly brushed off and have no relevance. LOL.

The story is absolutely so cute. We see the ML and FL fall in love in real time and nothing feels fake. Even the second couple in this drama pulls on your heart strings too.

The acting is this drama is absolutely fabulous. Su Zaizai portrayed by Zhang Miaoyi is more than a loud, quirky FL. She's smart, bold and sweet. Miaoyi devoured this role. Rangrang, Zhang Lurang, was acted out by Zhou Yiran and idk how this guy does it but he knows how to show emotions just by using his eyes and his smile is genuinely to die for. Lurang's parents pissed me off so bad though, hopefully they are less annoying now that he got into the university. Bian Tianyang, Gu Ran in the drama, was literally like a child but a respectful one. I relate to his character a lot as both of my parents are full-time dedicated doctors and though they never meant to make me feel that way, sometimes it did feel lonely with them working a lot. Jiang Jia (Acted by Jiang Zhinan), is such a good friend to everyone and the fact that she always liked Gu Ran back! Lastly, if I have any complaints, I want to talk about Guan Fang, the character portrayed by Guo Zhe. My complaint is, WE SHOULD'VE SEEN HIM END UP WITH A SPECIAL SOMEONE. But his grandma and him, omg, I cried so many times in that one episode. my weakness is literally old people.

But I did cry a lot, I cried at the end at their wedding with Jiang Jia lol. It literally feels like I grew with these characters and it all feels so real :(. I cried when he proposed to her. That was literally the best drama proposal I've ever seen. I cried when Gu Ran confessed to Jiang Jia too.

In regards of pacing and fast-forwarding, imo the pacing is really good. There's something completely new each episode and if you feel impatient about something happening, it will occur faster than you think it will rather than taking like 5 episodes and there being lots of tension. I didn't fast forward at all except for episode 21 because I wanted to see a stupid bitch get humbled and I literally couldn't wait even a minute.

OVERALL:

Honestly, WIFTY made me believe in love again. I know that sounds so weird, because it's all fake and all acting but idk it healed my inner child and wow, it will take a LOT to top this imo but then again, i'm yet to discover more dramas! still, I firmly believe WIFTY will stay as a 10/10 for me and continue to be one of my all-time favourites. if i'm proven to be wrong in the future, I'll go back and edit my review! everything about this was chef's kiss and it hurt to watch the finale and say bye to all these characters. Yk that feeling when you finish a good drama/show, yeah that's what I'm feeling right now. As for rewatching, i will DEFINITELY be rewatching this whenever I can. it has a very rewatchable storyline and romance. this drama is one of the highest rated on MDL for a reason!

if you didn't like WIFTY, we can agree to disagree.

if you do decide to watch this drama, i hope you love it as much as I do!

My fav cdrama ever!!

Ok now that this is over I am literally sobbing. My fav youth cdrama ever if not my fav overall!!! The acting, chemistry, cinematography, and relationships in this are top-notch. I love their relationship so much. It literally gave me butterflies after not having a drama give me butterflies for so long. I love everything about the couple even before they started dating. The looks and the small smiles just made everything 10 times better. I will probably watch this again so many times, I can already tell. I will never regret watching this as it was airing as I couldn't wait any longer after seeing their scenes. The actors that played ZZ and RR are AMAZING!!! I love that RR was supposed to be a "cold" character but actually had a personality but he was just closed off due to his parents being the way they were. Nothing would've prepared me for how good this drama was going to be and I recommend this to ANYONE wanting a 10/10 show to watch without any stupid breakups or misunderstandings between the leads. And this friend group was a 100/10. I loved them so much for how they stuck together to the end. When I fly towards you was the thing I looked forward to watching every morning and now I will never forget this fantastic show!!!! I 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!!

This show will always have a special place in my heart

My bestie and I watched this almost every Tuesday at school during the gap in our timetables and it was always such a good time. I LOVE this show! We would laugh and awe and cry in the school stairwell each week over this show and teachers would sometimes ask what we were doing. We did this for the whole semester and just finished it now during our summer break and today happens to be Tuesday. Tuesdays really won't be the same anymore💔 and Fridays won’t be the same without 23.5. But this show will truly always have a special place in our hearts and it is definitely worth watching!!!!

Its a great series.

When I Fly Towards You is a love series about the love that escalates between middle school students (Su Zai Zai, Zhang Lu Rang, Jiang Jia, Gu Ran, Guan Fang) and the growing development of friendship, character, and their life.
It starts with a new cheerful outgoing student which moves into a new school (Su Zai Zai). On her first day, she encountered the cool and HANDSOME Zhang Lu Rang and fell in love with him. But in secret, the reason he is closed is because of his family that keeps comparing and shows favoritism to his brother which makes them forget about him. His mom even forgets his allergies. That didn’t bother Zai Zai. She then starts to get his attention and starts getting close to him and his friends. They start hanging out often and her friend (a guy) starts catching feelings with her best friend. Whilst their friendship grows, their feelings also grow. Zhang Lu Rang, the guy starts getting feelings for Su Zai Zai and keeps his feelings a secret. Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang start to get closer, and he starts to feel more comfortable with her. Their love grows and last and they end up getting married.

This has become my favorite and my comfort series for a reason. It is outgoing, exciting, relatable, fun and shows feelings. This series gives the feeling of love, friendship, development, and the hardships of life.
This love series is truly great. It shows character, feelings, development, and the hardships of live and process. For me this series is really worth watching and is a 10/10.

Worth the watch

If you are looking for a story that has healthy relationship, then this is the one for you. No unnecessary drama. No misunderstandings. It is very youthful and close to a real story I could say. The female lead is very bubbly and the male lead is introverted. If you are looking for a very different story, then this might not be your cup of tea. But this definitely is a very light-hearted drama. The male lead is Ai Jia from falling into your smile. Just like his character in that series, he is whipped to the female lead. Even the friendship element is so good in this series. Everyone wishes for a friends gang like theirs. From high school to work life, they stick together through thick and thin. What more would you want in life. Even the second couple is super cute. Wish there is a spin-off for their story. Wanted more about them as well since their chemistry is awesome as well

Good lighthearted drama

If you're seeking a lighthearted drama, this one is a perfect choice. The camcorder detail in the show adds a delightful sense of nostalgia that I absolutely adore. It has a great balance in portraying romance, friendship, and family dynamics. Each storyline is well-developed and none of them feel superfluous. As someone who tends to skip through scenes in dramas, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself fully engaged in every episode of this drama. The relationship between Zhang Lu Rang and Su Zaizai is incredibly endearing, and I appreciate the absence of prolonged frustrating plot points. This drama has definitely earned its place among my go-to comfort shows.

Heartfelt and made me appreciate life more

This series is honestly worth every minute, i might have been bored at first but as i got to know the characters more…i loved it. It’s now my favorite show ever. You can see them get through different phases of their lives and have their ups and downs and you actually feel emotionally connected to them. I cried a lot and i laughed a lot, it made me sad, emotional, happy and every emotion there is. Everyone in this show is so cute, definitely worth your watch and won’t leave you disappointed!!!!!
