When I Fly Towards You (2023)

Perfect youth drama!!!

I started this drama in early September before school got busy. It started great. The casual meeting of the main leads and the friendship between the main cast was the sweetest thing. Starting the drama, I could not relate to the plot as I hadn't met a group of friends that I connected to. I stopped watching for a while because of school and I had to focus. Now finishing this drama during summer break has been heartbreaking. I made so many new friends this year and now I don't want to lose them. Watching this drama reminded me of my friends and how we are all moving on, pursuing new goals. There is no longer a see you tomorrow as there is no more tomorrow, when September rolls by, we will all be in university.

Aside from this, the drama itself was short and sweet. A perfect blend of friendship and high school romance. High school lovers until they grew up. I love how the female lead was so bubbly and presistance. How could you not fall for someone so persistent? The main male lead WAS A WALKING GREEN FLAG. No matter what happens, he always stays by the female lead and on her side, avoiding any conflict that could lead to misunderstanding. The perfect guy. I loved the friendship displayed in this drama, the sweet interactions, and how each one of them cared for each other. The second lead was just as cute. It took them a while to figure out each other's feelings but it was worth it. Something I didn't like was towards the end of the drama. things felt a little bit rushed. After the main leads got together, the whole plot sped up, moving through high school, then university getting jobs growing up, and getting married. It kinda diverged from a sweet high school rom-com to a more grown-up version, but the female lead was still giving vibes of immaturity despite being an adult. Some scenes were a little cringy but you can ignore that because the main leads chemistry was off the charts. It was amazing, the way they understood each other so well, and how the female lead managed to bring out the cheerful and happy side of the male lead was perfect. Overall really good drama, was pretty short which makes it perfect for people who don't have a lot of time or patience to go through intense long episodes. This drama was refreshing and helped to clean the plate from all the heavy plot, and a lot of misunderstandings.

Definitely recommend it for anyone to watch, high schoolers who need something to relax, or even adults to help them remember their childhood and how life was for them. I 100% recommend it! I just wished Guan Fang found someone because my boy was so lonely and single. He became the fifth wheel everywhere they went.

Grumpy x Sunshine but make it sweet and healthy way!

So it's 2am and I just finished this drama and decided to write my first review while drying my happy tears.

I had way different expectations when I started. watching this drama, I thought it will be stupid low IQ FL and smart yet cold ML, full of clichés and frustrating misundertandings but boy I was wrong.

I have decided to watch this drama after finishing few historical dramas, almost all are 40 eps, where they take u up to the sky with emotions and shatter your heart down so i needed something light and sweet to lift my mood, and since I had this drama in my PTW for a while, I am happy that I decided to watch it now!

The main lead's chemistery was so good that they made me pay for Youku App just to binge watch the drama with no interrupting and watch all the BTS, since I couldn't have enough of them.

She is literally rays of sunshine and he is a green forest, both are smart in their own ways, know their values and trust each other no matter what happens, side charachters were also supportive and cute that I didn't skip any scene of them.

I feel like this drama is perfect when it comes to the story, acting and length, and the best important part to me, a great completed happy ending, no need to use your imagination to think of what happened to them afterwards!!

A love letter dedicated to youth

Ah!... I love romance, I love seeing people falling in love. I loved the couples in this drama. But I gotta say, my most favorite thing here was the group. I loved everything in this drama but I simply ADORED their friendship. I wish I had friends like that in my teen years. Damn I wish I had friends like them today!

This drama made me feel so much nostalgia for my school days. But also, it made me feel sad for not having that for myself. A lot of moments I kinda felt were bittersweet because of that. But I think that's good cuz it's meaningful in a way. Actually this drama can be very deep sometimes. Like in the end of ep 10, all of what Zaizai says about grandmas, but especially the part when she says that she misses her grandma but doesn't dare say it to her father cuz he certainly misses his mom too. It was so beautiful! I almost cried. Other moments and quotes I liked are:
- In ep 19 when Gu Ran wrote a letter to Jiang Jia and he says "all life encounters are reencounters after a long time apart" it resonated to me and I felt it;
- At the end of ep 9, Zaizai says "every existence is meaningful to someone" and that everyone is somehow special for somebody;
- In ep 18, the conversation between Guan Fang and his grandma after her surgery. It made me really feel how time passes and one day we'll have to be the ones taking care of our parents.

Second couple is really cute. I liked them just as much as the main couple. Unfortunately they only get together in the penultimate ep so they had practically no screen time together doing couple things. It was sad bc they had a lot of potential and I really liked them.

ML's parents were the worst, I hated them. The way they treated his younger brother Luli better than Lurang and always put all the blame for anything bad related to Luli on Lurang infuriated me. It was so sad seeing Lurang distancing himself from Luli due to that and Luli sad for not being able to have a brother relationship with him. I just wished that when Lurang become an adult he stopped talking to his parents bc they don't deserve him. Fortunately, they resolved their issues and now they can be brothers for real, regardless of what their parents do to Lurang. And the drama kinda forgets all this plot after the brothers reconcile so we don't know if Lurang still goes through this after graduating.

I missed them as a group in the final eps. They chose to focus on the main couple after graduating from school and the side characters were left aside a little. They could've showed more of the leads's friends after graduating. What they were working or anything in specific. Although I loved them as group in school (and I loved it all for real, the best part of everything) they spent too much time working on their time at school that when they became adults it all felt rushed. The drama lost a little of what made it so special. But it was good regardless of that. It was well-rounded and complete the way it was.

OSTs for this drama were really good. Besides there being many, they really set the tone and energy for each scene. I loved their vibes. And the visuals on the overall are stunning. The opening is so sweet with videos of the group filmed with a recorder. It's all so nostalgic it put me in the right vibe for the eps.

So that was it. I super reccomend this drama if you like slice-of-life youth dramas. It had the perfect amount of romance, friendship, a little bit of found family and healing. What I want to say is that I felt so moved watching this. It was a love letter dedicated to the youth.

comfort show

I couldn’t finish it before because I was so afraid that I would miss them, so I kept watching one episode per week. I’m being so real right now; every character was so special. Su Zaizai is one of the best characters of all time. She’s so bright, happy, and dedicated. And Zhang Lurang, what can I say about him? HE IS THE BEST. I love Jiang Jia, Gu Ran, and Guan Fang too; their friendship was so good to watch.

I loved that Su Zaizai was 'chasing' Zhang Lurang with such confidence, and she breaks the stereotype that only the guy has to chase the girl. She was patient with Zhang Lurang being so shy, and I really, really loved that.

Zhang Lurang is a character I could relate to so much. People only see us as human beings without feelings, but it's completely the opposite. I hope in the future I can be more open with another person, just as Lurang was open with Zaizai.

It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe.

*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : When I Fly Towards You - 2023 (Complete 24 Episode)
Personal Rating : 7.5/10

It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe but still it’s a good, youthful, and full of positivity drama with a happy ending. 😅

It’s a classic high school youth drama which begins in high school and continues into adulthood. Su Zai Zai is a cute, talkative, and straight forward girl who falls for the genius, aloof and introvert Zhang Lu Rang. They fall in love and get married.
Honestly, I watched this drama because they have the same writer of Hidden Love. Personally, I didn’t enjoy it that much because I have high expectations from it.

There are lot of scenes that are cute and sweet but sometimes it’s too much for me that it makes me cringe specially when I hear the word “Rang-Rang”.

I like their friendship though, the heartwarming relationship between the grandma and Guan Fang and the 2nd couple because they have a nice story line. The 2nd couple have love - hate relationship and one-sided love which is so natural. I feel that the 1st couple story is cute, sweet but flat. The only problem they have is the pressure of ML’s mother. No second lead or jealousy to make things spice up.

Overall, it is not my cup of tea. It is a good drama – classic, but maybe because my preference has changed a lot that this one doesn’t suit me. I watched A Love So Beautiful which almost has the same plot of running after their crushes or first love, but ALSB didn’t make me cringe. And I made a mistake of watching the intros that it almost spills the whole story of the drama.

GENRE – Comedy, Romance, Youth
CAST – Zhang Miao Yi , Zhou Yi Ran

Everyone should watch When I Fly Towards You !!

I honestly think that anybody could pick up wifty if they wanted to. It's a very light-hearted show that you could just keep watching without stress. The characters are sooooo well-written, loveable, and charming in their own way. I could go on and on for days about just how much I enjoyed this show and how well-paced it is.

I'll start off with what I thought the whole time I was binging. Every episode I just thought to myself "love can be such a beautiful thing. It can be sunshine and rainbows too." I know, the thought isn't novel. That thought was left in my mind because (in my opinion) dramas these days don't portray love like that anymore. I have never felt this good watching a romance series without any setbacks or unnecessary conflicts and the likes.

How love manifests in each of the characters is also a topic I can speak endlessly about.

Zaizai shines so much because she is a lover girl. she is THE lover girl. She never puts up a front and is the most genuine character i've come across in a while. That's what makes her the perfect main girl. Her existence brings such a great warmth to everyone around her and you can tell.

Lurang seems like the typical cold, quiet guy at first. Zaizai definitely brought the best of him. Who would've thought the quiet guy would become the most adorable and understanding boyfriend out there? Words cannot explain how much I loveeee Lurang's development from a guy who seemingly had a fairly black and white world to Rangrang who would do anything for his Zaizai.

Oh god, GuJia., where do I even start...

I deeply resonate with Jia who felt lost among her peers that knew what path they wanted to take after high school. As everyone may know, i'm not new to experiencing existential crisis. I think it's because her journey of finding herself came first before she was able to allow herself to feel romantic emotions (or rather, her feeling being revealed rather later on in the story).

Guran [sighs] okay let me get this out of the way but I do have a bias towards him because he reminds me so much of junhyeon !! I'm sorry ANYWAYS. Obsessed is an understatement for how much I enjoyed seeing him pine for Jia ITS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY can you tell from how much I am straying away from my seemingly formal review ;-; crying screaming sobbing he is the personification of saymynameandeverythingjuststopsidontwantyoulikeabestfriend!!! i love them so much everybody should try out the gujia burger meal 100/10 would recommend.

Guan Fang :((( His relationship with his grandmother is beyond endearing. Their love and appreciation for each other proves itself time and time again. They live for each other, its SOOOO heartwarming to see there's no way anyone who watches this series will not appreciate his character.

OVERALL, I thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly HIGHLY recommend it to everyone in the market for youth-romance shows and are looking for something to watch right now!

p.s. I did not beta this please pretend like you didnt see it if you encounter any mistakes love you guys watch wifty !!
