Beautiful and uplifting
When I Fly Towards You manages to capture the fleeting moment in life when possibilities are endless. Back when we say goodbye to childhood and we become young adults going out into the world to expand our understanding as we discover ourselves through others.On a technical aspect the cdrama is shot digitally but there are snippets filmed with an analog camera, visually making you understand you are being told this story from the POV of someone remembering. This adds a layer of nostalgia. Smart and beautiful to watch.
The acting is what I expect from a youth drama that understands itself: good natured, solid and well-rounded performances of characters growing up as we see them going through different every day experiences involving school, friends, family and love.
Overall, I fully enjoyed this cdrama that features an easy to cheer for characters, with good chemistry, learning about life and themselves. This is why I love youth dramas, they can be a source of joy and energy.

A Wholesome and Fluffy Romance with Realistic Charm
This drama gave me a different take on romance as it shows how a healthy relationship is built from friendship rather than after some sort of conflict or misunderstandings. The leads’ chemistry is very sweet and believable which made it enjoyable to watch them support each other while also planning for their futures. Also, the video diary segments added a unique touch that sets this drama apart.However, not every aspect is fully explored. Important scenes, like Lu Rang’s family issues, got sidelined and just feels underdeveloped. The ending feels rushed with big time jumps and less attention paid to the friend group’s dynamic.

When I fly towards you é completamente genuíno, demonstra o poder da amizade e do amor que jovens do highschool têm.Recomendo a quem quiser aproveitar a ver o seu tempo a ver algo muito reconfortante e que faz esquecer todos os típicos problemas que todos os dramas retratam.

a show well deserving of its fame (a shot of serotonin in the form of a tv show)
This was so cute. A shot of serotonin in the form of a tv show. I love that we get to follow Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang‘s romantic journey. Zai Zai’s crush from the start was never a question, but she throughly enjoys befriending him and his two friends. Her personality is sunshine and bubbly cuteness. What I loved about her character is even though she was super bubbly she didn’t read as cliche or “manic pixie”. When she’s bullied by others, she stands up for herself accordingly. When she sees someone being bullied, she stands up for them. Those moments of fierceness were refreshing and satisfying to watch.Zhang Lu Rang was shy and timid due to his parent’s ridiculous behavior. His growth was beautiful. Quite literally like watching a flower bloom from bud to blossom. He is silent and brooding but the actor did such a good job with nonverbal communication that you can tell how much he enjoyed Zai Zai’s company even as words fail him.
The show is mostly of their first three years of friendship in high school but we do have time jumps and get to see them in college and adulthood. The show is not full of stressful climaxes for the sake of plot, but rather very slice of life with the rollercoasters of joy and sadness as the characters navigate youth and adulthood. It was so satisfying to see Zhang Lu Rang go from a boy that says three words at a time to a man that says what’s on his mind unabashedly to the woman he loves 😭.
My only “complaints” are:
- I’d have liked more of Zhang Lu Rang‘a family life after his brother called out their parents.
- More for technical reasons but why was Zhang Lu Rang able to make Zai Zai’s high school and college graduation? Why didn’t she go to one of his? Did he finish before her both times?
- Because we get from 10th grade to them become full grown adults and parents, the timeline jumps a decent amount after high school. I don’t think this is wrong but I would have liked an episode more covering college and work, but I get why it was kept brief. I will say I like that the time jumps were seamlessly interwoven into the show rather than just a scene change and the words “2 years later” showing on screen.

My Comfort Drama
Watched this 3x already. It is just perfect in every way. Each time I write a review, I am crying lol. I don't want to spoil this for anyone who has never seen it so I won't say much.If you are looking for a high school to adulthood drama that is light, fluffy, charming, full of green flags, friendship, family, no drama, no love triangle, just pure LOVE, then this is the one for you. The ending is what you would want to see in all romance dramas. It is perfect to me. Sometimes, I wish I could watch this again for the first time but each time I do, I never get bored and I still end up crying. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I'd recommend it!
This one was really enjoyable! The leads were super cute, and I loved the female lead, she was truly a breath of fresh air. She was fearless and straightforward, which made for an interesting watch. I had a hard time focusing at the beginning because I thought it was boring (and I don’t have much patience!), but I’m glad I stuck around because it kept getting better.I do think the show could’ve been shorter. C-dramas often go overboard with length when the plot isn't strong enough to sustain it. Since this is a slice-of-life show, you stay because you’re attached to the characters, but in my opinion, those types of stories don't need more than 16 episodes!

easily in my top 3 favourite dramas of all time now!
if you’re looking for a good quality drama overflowing with young romance and cuteness, this is definitely the show for you. there is zero cringe factor at all. everything is just very sweet <3the simple plot was well delivered as much of the drama has this dreamy tone which accompanied with the use of a camcorder gives the drama a lovely feel. each episode ends with the female lead filming a log for her video diary and a cute quote to finish which i loved. even the intro song was so cute i never skipped it once!
the main romance is cute, the supporting leads romance is cute, the friendship between the gang is cute with lots of funny moments but also serious ones where u can see how they’re individually all such good people who care so much for each other.
the cinematography is beautiful, the show is well paced, there is no shortage of cute romance scenes especially the last few episodes which will really have you smiling like an idiot, the music is good, the actors are all cute and did well and lastly you can really feel the effort that was put into the show. the characters even have weibo accounts which they posted on while the show was airing!
there are zero cons to this show, im heavily attached to all the characters now. my only regret is not waiting for all the episodes to come out before watching T_T

Simple High School Romance
By far of all the dramas I've ever watched and edited, this has been my favourite drama!Although I've watched many dramas, this drama felt more realistic with a simple plot that shows both romance and friendship, especially in a youth drama. The cast was amazing and had so much chemistry even though they may not have been the most popular actors/actresses but I felt it was more suitable for the drama rather than having popular actors/actresses that may not have fit into a youth drama. Also, I liked that the drama concluded their story from their youth to their adult life which really makes the viewer get attached to the show at the end.

I love you, Rang Rang! Can you hug me?
I LOVE this kind of drama. It's about our lives, people's youth, and their growth into adulthood. It's full of romantic feelings, friendship, and beautiful moments. Sometimes, there are little hardships that they endure. I felt so envious watching them. Now, I'm experiencing a bit of a romantic crisis. I want to hug someone like Rang Rang, and I want someone who will love me like Rang Rang or Gu Ran. I want it so much.To be honest, I enjoyed Jiang Jia and Gu Ran a little bit more than the main couple. But it was beautiful to watch their journey. I smiled with them and cried because of happiness. It was so romantic, cute, and funny. I think it might be the best youthful, romantic drama about life and relationships that I've seen. Although it was too perfect to be real, I felt happy watching it. Thank you for making my day better. I hope there will be more dramas like this in the future.

a drama to watch when you need something fresh and adorable
i honestly didnt like the first few eps but later it got better. If you want a drama that is cute, fluffy, highschool and friends to lovers trope, this may be the right one for you. The second couple is also very cute and funny. Watchers can learn a lot from watching this cdrama.i love how both of them have flaws and they help each other to fix it. Such as ZLR is weak in english and SZZ is weak in math. The male lead and the second lead are also such green flags. When I Fly Towards You is the perfect example of the typical saying " she fell first, but he fell harder " after Hidden Love. Overall, i will highly recommend this drama for new cdramabies.Was this review helpful to you?
