When I Fly Towards You

I wish I could watch it again for the very first time ;3

First of all, I genuinely wasn't expecting myself to fall so deeply in love with a drama with no major dark plot, just pure, sweet, heartwarming goodness. People often think low-angst shows might get boring, right? But when I tell you how insanely hooked I was from the very first episode.

No drama has ever made me feel this nostalgic or miss my school life as much as this one. The squad's friendship was everything. The way they genuinely cared for each other, showed up for one another, and navigated life together was so wholesome. I felt so genuinely sad when it ended because watching their journey really hits you with how fast time flies. I literally wish I could wipe my memory clean just to experience all those warm feelings for the first time all over again.

And can we talk about the soundtrack? The music in this drama is so elite and nostalgic that I literally set it as my ringtone c:

The leads were peak perfection. Zhang Lu Rang was an absolute, undisputed green flag, and Su Zai Zai was so delightfully quirky, childish, and unbothered. Their dynamic was so cute, but what I loved most was that the drama refused to invent stupid, forced conflicts for the sake of artificial drama. There were no random breakups or characters suddenly acting like idiots just to drag out the plot.

Are there misunderstandings? Of course because life isnt all sunshine and rainbows and little bumps in the road are just part and parcel of real life. But WIFTY managed to sprinkle them in so organically that it felt completely realistic, which is probably why it hit me so hard emotionally.

One of its absolute greatest strengths is how much trust the characters have in each other. They don't blindly believe outside noise. Even when that annoying girl tried to make a move on Lu Rang, he didn't fall for unnecessary drama, he believed in Zai Zai, played along with her, and backed her up 100% of the time. As they grew up together, they supported each other's dreams in every single way possible.

And I can't forget Jiang Jia and Gu Ran! I loved them so much! Their dynamic was adorable and I was genuinely so happy for them. My only wish is that we got even more screen time of them as a couple!

If you want a heartwarming, organic, zero-ragebait show that will make you smile, cry happy tears, and completely steal your heart, this is it. 1000/10, absolute perfection!

Sweet and fun romance I've been waiting for

This show is just wonderful, it made me smile so much. It's perfect if you're looking for fluff romance and friendship. There's little to no conflict in the story which is what I crave sometimes, but other dramas that attempt this style have bored me. Not this one.

Characters- I found everyone to be very likable. The FL was a little obsessed with ML and fell in love at first sight which usually bugs me a bit, but you could tell Su Zai Zai just knew what she wanted and went after it confidently. ML is the quiet, no smiling type but he didn't push her away and was never mean. The second couple is also very lovable and fun to watch. It made me smile to watch all the moments these friends shared together. Each character has their strengths and weaknesses and are never tied down to a two dimensional trope.

Story- I'm pretty picky about the length and speed of dramas. I've found especially with C-dramas they tend to drag on too much and I end up dropping them. But I very much enjoyed how this one was paced and didn't fast forward once! It was beautiful to watch these characters grow from adolescence to adulthood. Sometimes dramas skip ahead too much in later episodes so you can see how they ended up and it feels rushed and not genuine. They did skip ahead quite a bit but i didn't have the same feeling, I was just happy to see their happily ever after. Also I LOVED the aspect of the camcorder, it kept things interesting and gave things a nostalgic and personal feel. Oh also have to shout out any drama that has basically 0 miscommunication/misunderstanding trope, thank the lord.

TLDR- beautiful fluff romance, great to escape to a happy world.

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.

Rang Rang and Zai Zai, I will miss them.

I have no experience for writing review. This is my first time. When I was depressed about my life, I started this drama with zero expectation. But slowly I am addicted in it. I knew male lead for ' Falling into your smile ' and female lead for ' Please don't spoil me '. In this drama their acting is totally different. They acted very well. There are many cliche in this drama, but it make this drama more beautiful. I wathed many drama where female lead chase male lead. Sometime it irritated me that female lead has no self respect. Su zai zai is totally opposite from them. She is cute, adorable and clever. When she is happy, I am also happy. The male lead also different from other cold male lead. He was introvert at first, but later he become extrovert for Su zai zai. Their dating era is too small for me! If I could get more episode. Gu ran, Jang Jia and Guan feng, they are also cute. I will miss them and their bonding. I will miss grandma. No, I will miss everyone in this drma. I definitely rewatch this drma.

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
