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?
A Soft, Genuine Love Story That Proves Simplicity Can Be Perfect
“When I Fly Towards You” is a full 10/10 for me, and honestly one of those rare dramas that feels effortlessly special from beginning to end.What makes this drama stand out the most is how authentic and gentle it is. It captures young love in such a soft, sincere, and innocent way without ever feeling exaggerated or cringey. Instead of relying on dramatic twists, it focuses on how people slowly open up to each other, how trust is built over time, and how meaningful it is to be truly seen by someone at that age.
One of my absolute favorite things is that there isn’t really a big, dramatic subplot where everything falls apart. There’s no forced “something must go wrong” moment just to create tension. It stays consistent and grounded, which makes it feel so refreshing. You’re not constantly waiting for heartbreak or unnecessary conflict, you’re just watching their relationship grow naturally. Even when small challenges come up, they’re handled in a simple, mature way, so the story always keeps its warmth.
The romance itself is one of the purest I’ve seen, but what really makes it special is how it develops. Su Zaizai’s feelings start early, but they don’t feel shallow, it’s more like she’s drawn to him in a quiet, genuine way. From there, everything builds slowly and naturally. She’s open, warm, and expressive, while Zhang Lurang starts off more reserved and distant. Watching him gradually become more comfortable, more open, and more sure of himself because of her presence is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the drama.
What I love is that their relationship it’s in the small things: being there for each other, supporting each other, understanding each other without needing too many words. They don’t try to change each other, but they grow alongside each other in such a natural way. It feels steady, comforting, and real.
The cast truly made everything come alive. Every character felt natural and perfectly cast, and the chemistry, not just between the leads, but within the whole friend group, was incredible. Their friendships added so much warmth to the story, and it genuinely felt like watching real people grow up together. I laughed so much because their interactions were just so effortless and fun.
Another detail I absolutely loved was the storytelling format, especially the use of her virtual diary. It added such a personal touch, letting us see her thoughts and feelings in a way that made everything more intimate and meaningful.
The pacing was also done beautifully. Nothing felt rushed or dragged out, it just flowed naturally, letting each moment have its space.
Overall, this drama is comforting, nostalgic, and incredibly heartwarming. It shows how simple and beautiful love can be without needing unnecessary drama, and that’s what makes it so memorable. It leaves you with that soft, happy feeling long after it ends.
I loved everything! The story, the characters, the format, the humor, and especially the way the leads’ love grows so quietly but so deeply.
A perfect 10/10, without a doubt. 💫

Late 95s-early 2000s Kids Will Relate To This...
"Sun sets but love remains and your heart will still beats in pleasure when I fly towards you"*
*
This is the first drama in recent years that made me want to write here again as I was on a vacuum for watching any C-dramas, K-dramas, Thai dramas, movies etc (to focus on my new found hobby-watching anime series and reading mangas, manhwas and manhuas).. Fyi, I watched this from Netflix recommendation after I finished "Hidden Love". I thought that has no rivals, boi I was so wrong. This...this drama hits different..
You won't find any extraordinary plot lines that blew your mind from its plot twist but from the simplicity it brings through each realistic dialogue, it made me smile, laughed like a maniac, and even mad and cried..I relate to all of the scenes here as a late gen z facing through the same struggles and problems..
The first half of this drama throw me back to my middle school & highschool days (from the transition of their phones, TV, PS, cameras, etc), we used to not care that much with internet like now, and that rl relationship is what matters to us.. It kinda made me jealous of how lucky all the main characters here that they got to find real and true friendship and love that lasts years..Having someone special like RangRang & ZaiZai to each other and having best friends to support you is a blessing in a tough world like right now..
Anyway, here are my detailed reviews :
☑️ Plot : 10/10 Tho I think there were quite few moments where the plot jumps randomly and without any further explanation, but it didn't disrupt the overall flow of the plot. I can feel the sincerity the writing & production team from the script. All the loose ends have been tied up, the audience also got to see many fan service scenes of their super duper sweet fluffy moments even until their marriage!
☑️Acting : 100000/10 Thank you casting team for choosing them as the casts. They're perfect for each of the characters here. I was honestly surprised to see Ai Jia here as a highschool student🤣 But I found myself grinning, laughing and sighing from their acting! It's sooo rare for me to laugh like that from watching a drama even recent K-dramas failed to give me the perfect comedy lines that made me laugh hysterically. Special shout out to Zhou Yi Ran for successfully embodied Lurang's character perfectly. I thought I would see another Irie Naoki type of character where you rarely see the tsundere ML showing emotions but heree, Yi Ran cleverly showed such delicate subtle emotions on his face..You can see the transformation of him falling in love with ZaiZai from the first half until the end.
☑️Cinematography : 1000/10 Chef kiss! No comment about that. The director and the production team has successfully portrayed the real beautiful, warm and ticklish vibes of youth time of high school students until their young adult time in real society..
☑️Characterization : 1st Couple (I'm surprised to see ZaiZai is not Kotoko type of character and RangRang is not Irie Naoki type of character. I love how strong their principle is when it comes to love and I love how we got to see ML showing his vulnerable sides (esp insecurity) and FL giving him courage and support healthily. ZaiZai seems like the usual cute, outgoing and cheerful FL who only aims to chase his ML, but boiii I was wrong! She has her own strength and that strength is actually ML's weakness. So both of them are standing equally!
And I also love RangRang's character development (from being aloof, awkward, caring in his own way, showing his love more daringly & bravely, to finally being confident enough to show their love to the world) .I'm also surprised that both of them knew each other's feelings and acted like lovers even before them being official lovers. Like RangRang always made sure ZaiZai would always be safe, feeling comfortable, well fed, always be happy, etc. He stepped outside of his comfort zones countless times just to see her smile. But little did he know that by doing that it also pushed him to be a better person that loves and appreciates his self first.
2nd Couple needs more scenes but I can't complain as the 1st couple's screen time is worth the entire episodes of the drama.. But I love how realistic their dynamic & development are. They successfully portrayed best friends turn into lovers with their bickerings,flirts, and finally the confession..
☑️Conclusion : Watch them as it will surely makes you smile, reminiscent and feeling energized to face what tomorrow brings..Very very recommended!!! 💖💖

My dream scenario
A fun, light, and sweet drama. This drama has a plot that I wish could happen in my own life, or in a story that I will write. This drama really gives a picture of human happiness. Actually, it may sound very unrealistic, but for some reason, especially for this drama, I abandoned the reality aspect and focused on enjoying the drama.I like the female lead who is portrayed as an independent and strong woman but not shy to smile, laugh and be happy. Zai Zai doesn't need a suit to look dignified, only with her soft cardigan she can still be seen as a dignified woman. While watching the first episode I was very amused and embarrassed by the clichéd story, but in episode 3, I started to fall in love with Zai Zai's character. Zai Zai's very sweet and lovely character touched not only Lu Rang's heart but also mine.
I think the development of the two main characters in this drama is very good. They really complement each other. Other characters like Guran and Jiang Jia are also quite entertaining. To be honest I also like the story of Guan Fang and his grandmother, it's very touching and I like the dialogue from Guan Fang's grandmother to Guan Fang who says that Guan Fang doesn't need to be the main character to be noticed.
While watching this drama, I felt that it would be nice if I could meet someone like Zhang Lu Rang, but at that moment I realized that I must be able to become Su Zai Zai for that. To be honest I really admire Zai Zai, and hope to be like him one day.

Butterflies, Good Vibes and Giddy Feelings All Over
Saying I love this drama is an understatement. It's just so beautiful.I love how admiration, love, maturity, friendship, and relationships were portrayed here. I love how there's no big drama to ruin the relationship. It's just so beautiful. And I'm truly at loss for words on how much to share how this drama just made me overall so happy. The good vibes it gives is just enough to tell people to watch this masterpiece.
The story transported me back to the days wherein high school was truly a mix of fun, studies, and just giddying interactions with crushes and all that. Although not all high school love stories end up everlasting, the way the story was portrayed it was enough to just root for these couples.
The way she calls him Rang Rang will always be something that giddies me up. While it may be annoying if others do it, the way she portrayed her love and admiration through calling his name was just so sweet. Ahhhh~ this show gave me so much butterflies and love. I wish they made more shows like this.

O maior feito da China
Chorei que nem uma cadela carente nesse cdrama. Os vlogs da Zaizai são a coisa mais linda e o fato que ela documentou todos os momentos especiais durante a vida dela mexe muito comigo. Todos os momentos inesquecíveis, as despedidas no pôr do sol, as aventuras inesperadas com os amigos, o cuidado com eles mesmos, o Guan Fang, a escola, o vestibular, a faculdade, estágio, emprego... me fez questionar se estou realmente vivendo o presente da minha juventude. A cinematografia é linda e eu amei ver a trajetória do Rangrang se apaixonando aos poucos por ela.Não dei 10 porque eu merecia mais da Jiang Jia com o Gu Ran, muito lindos💗💗🥰🥰
enfim, se consolidou o pedido de casamento mais lindo dos doramas.
"Quando conheci você, eu passei a ficar ansioso pelo dia seguinte."
Saudades do meu quinteto já!! 🎉🎉

"It was that glance, just that quick glance, that brought us together for life. "
God where do I even begin??? Honestly, this drama's alternative title should be "tooth rotting fluff". My heart felt warm and content watching this one. The sweet, heartwarming story with a super talented cast and the beautiful cinematography made it one of my all time favs. One thing I absolutely loved about this drama was that it didn't follow any cliches or stereotypes we usually see in these youth dramas such as dumb female lead, super smart 'perfect' male lead, stupid love triangle, main leads breaking up after high school etc etc. The male lead had his issues and insecurities and the female lead helped him slowly but surely sort them out, and I think that's amazing. Also loved how none of the main characters outshone one another. They all had their charms. Like, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia's love story deserves a drama on it's own and giving Guan Feng that backstory made him more than just a comic relief character. It's an adorable, bubbly drama about youth ,friendship and young love like no other. Definitely worth your time.Was this review helpful to you?
