When I Fly Towards You

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 !!

One of the best romance dramas l have ever seen.

I finished the drama a long time ago (like the day the last episode aired), but l just couldn't bring myself to write a review because writing the review meant saying a final goodbye to my Rang Rang and Su Zaizai. This drama healed me in many ways and l cannot even explain it. It made me realize how lonely l was because l did not have friends like Su Zaizai, Zhang Lurang, Guan Fang, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia. I mean yes it was meant to be a typical cliche romance drama but it was more about that. The drama talked about friendships, trust, family expectations and yes romance.

Let me start of with the main characters Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang. Su Zaizai was not your typical cutesy, brainless female lead. She was strong, independent and stood up for her man. She wax everything and more and l really admired her love for Zhang Lurang. Then my man Zhang Lurang "Rang Rang", although he was said to be a cold, male character he was not that. He was a tsundere if l do say so myself, he seemed closed off because of his situation at home but let me tell you that he was not all that. He was a sweet, understanding and all round great guy not only to his Su Zaizai but his friends.

Then l will get to Guan Fang, he was a great guy and l miss him dearly, his love for his grandmother was commendable, he is a perfect example of how people change for the better and for the people they love. Then my other man Gu Ran, his love for his friends and Jiang Jia was absolutely commendable, total love bug. Then Jiang Jia was just so relatable that l could not figure out why. I loved her and she had such great development.

I'm really happy that l was able to witness such a great drama. This drama went above and all for my expectations that l still feel the whole till now.

So till we meet again Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang.

Growing up and falling in love

Positives: no toxic relationships. There is a lot of plot giveaways - for example in the opening scenes we see a wedding, so we know from the beginning where the story is headed. Acting was good. The actors captured the awkwardness of being in high school and falling in love/like. It was not all love scenes, though. There is deep friendships and family respect. The story does not drag out as in too many dramas and each episode is 30ish minutes. Sub titles (English) are well done; I only saw one mistake.

Negatives: at least one continuity issue - Jiang Jia is wearing one winter coat and then in the continuation of the scene, she has switched to another coat. Oftentimes, the plot is too coincidental. And as usual in Asian dramas, the female leads have an inordinate amount of winter coats! 🧥 Lastly, the scenery is not always consistent with the time of year. It’s snowing , but the bush in the background has spring flowers. It’s January, but all the trees have their leaves.

Summary: A pleasant, quick series with no excessive drama. Just real life teens growing up, and finding their way in the world. And a realistic ending without silliness. I don’t rewatch shows, so my rewatch value is 1.

What does high school mean to you? What does youth mean to you?

As someone who is turning 30 soon, I haven't watched youth dramas in a while. This is the only youth drama that truly touched my heart and brought me back to my high school days. First of all, our main couple is the perfect example of extroverted girl and introverted boy which I really liked. The ML doesn't really talk much but every time he looks at her, you can just tell how much he is in love with her. Our FL may seem a bit clingy at first, but in reality she is just a 16 year old who has fallen in love for the first time, so her actions are understandable. While watching the drama, I found her so adorable and I was drawn in by her confidence and strong sense of morals. She knows what is right and wrong and she will stick to her principles, even if that means standing up for herself in scary situations.

If I were to visualize their relationship, the FL is like the light at the end of the tunnel. Our ML went through a lot because of his uncaring and biased parents and he lived in darkness for a long time. However, our FL shined a light through that dark tunnel and our ML was finally able to find the way out of the darkness. For our FL, our ML is like a solid rock. There is a saying in the Bible that basically says a house built on a rock is the most sturdy because it will never fall. When the winds come, when the rains fall, the house will stay firm because it is built on a rock. In the Bible, this rock is referring to Jesus. In the drama, whenever our FL goes through hardships and difficulties in life, she can always lean on her rock, which is the ML and because of him she can stay strong.

I loved all of our side characters as well. I honestly wasn't expecting to be so invested in the second couple because at first Gu Ran was really annoying. However, the moment Gu Ran fell in love with Jia Jia, everything changed. He suddenly went from self absorbed to kind, caring, sweet and even selfless. The moment when Gu Ran pushed Jia Jia towards her crush so that he could confess, even though Gu Ran was dying on the inside, showed me how this guy was a real gentleman and someone who truly cared. When they finally got together, I'm sure we all cheered for them and said FINALLY!

Moving on, I have such a soft spot for Guan Fang. Seriously, Guan Fang and his grandma made me cry so much and it made me miss my grandma. When I watched the Youtube clips of this drama, I was thinking that Guan Fang would be the happy-go-lucky guy, the clown of this group. I wasn't expecting his backstory, that he was beating people up and getting beat up. That he was the outcast at school and both the students and the teacher didn't like him. My heart went out for him because I am also a person who looks very happy on the outside but I have a lot of sadness and suffering on the inside. Deep in my heart, I hope that Guan Fang and his grandma will live happily ever after in dramaland.

Last but not least, I love this drama because it reminded me of my high school days and in a way, transported me back. The good memories, the laughter, the simple days of chatting in the hallways, hanging out at a friend's house after school, getting bubble tea together. All of these memories came back to me and it made me wishing for, longing for simpler days. It also made me reminisce my high school friendships. Although I don't keep in touch with most of my high school friends, the good memories are there and they will always be there.

I hope that this drama will be a source of joy, hope and encouragement to whoever watches it. For me, it was like a hug on a rainy day. This drama reminds me that although many days are tough and there is so much suffering in the world, when I go home I know that I can get a hug from my loved one and everything will be alright. Sending love and positivity to whoever had the patience to read this whole review. We all deserve to love and to be loved.

One of my first cdramas that I allowed myself to rewatch and I don't regret it. I liked the main characters right away and the same goes for the actors themselves. I remember very well when this series came out and I couldn't get enough of it. We really enjoyed every episode and I was rooting for Zaizai to really end up with her crush. I was rooting for Guran as well, who became my favorite character and still is (nothing has changed haha). Although the drama may seem very boring, just because of the description, you will be pleasantly surprised. It is full of love, true friendship, adolescence and youth. I didn't expect it to grab me like this, or that I would ever want to watch it again, but I ended up watching it now and I really want to watch it again, it really is a wonderful series

a journey from childhood to adulthood

it is refreshing in terms of seeing new actors. I like the Camadiere between the friends and the support system they have for each other. the best moments for me is when su zaizai nags zhang lurang without stopping and he takes it so nicely. there is warmth and also a childlike chemistry between them. Gu ran and the second girl whom he likes is also engaging. Best for me is Guan Feng. His acting is superb. there is no nagging parent and till episode 19 no nagging third wheel. I hope such a character is not introduced and it will take away the sweetness of the drama. it can be continued as a journey of their university and the ups and downs they face together. looking forward for that.

Heartwarming & meaningful story about youth, love & friendship

This drama tells the story of five students and their journey from school to adulthood. The plot mostly focuses on the main leads however we do get separate episodes for the rest of the friendship group (the second couple and a guy friend). I did appreciate those episodes with the rest of the cast as it made me really connect with their friendship.

Main couple is a slow burn romance, friends to lovers vibes. They are caring and supportive of each other, so a wonderful relationship that anyone would want in real life. Male lead is quiet, introverted, calm, and a green flag. He is a bit stand-offish at first but turns into a very caring guy. Female lead is sweet, kind-hearted, cheerful and less shy than the male lead but still timid.

Second couple is such a scene stealer, perhaps because I love enemies to lovers trope. They had all the angst, teasing, bickering and sweetness. I enjoyed them as much as the main couple.

POSITIVE:
- Lots of fluff and cutest school vibes
- Feel good vibes all the time
- The best portrayal of friendship
- No cliche plot lines
- Small misunderstandings that are solved in the same episode
- No love triangles
- No red flag males
- No annoying characters
- The most beautiful and sweetest happy ending

NEGATIVE:
- Dating starts at episode 19 for the main couple so it was quite slow for me. It made sense with the story but I just wanted a little more.
- There is no unnecessary drama and boring cliche storylines which was great BUT some episodes I needed a little more excitement.

OVERALL:
I highly recommend this drama to everyone that wants to watch something that makes you feel really good. The vibes are like eating sweet candy and receiving warm hugs. Even though most of the drama takes place in school it doesn't feel childish so anyone can watch it.

The sweetest coming-of-age rom-com

DON'T EXPECT TYPICAL TOXIC RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS OR HEAVY DRAMA

This is for you if your looking for a fluffy comfort drama, The story is loyal to it's genre as a coming-of-age rom-com.

I liked how the characters were portrayed realistically, and not just like stupid teens making stupid mistakes and being toxic to each others ... teens can be in a healthy relationship too. they definiletly took me back to my highschool era, my first crush, my first confession, my obliviousness to what's love ...
Su Zaizai's straightforwardness and determination, Zang Lurang's shyness and his cute struggle to figure out how to like someone and communicate his feeling, their circle of friend's support .... all this will make you fall in love with each and everyone of them, I personnaly soobed when I saw the long way they've come at the end, figuring out who they really are.

If you want something heartwarming!

Well, once again I feel the need to write about a drama, and this one is just amazing. I heard about When I fly toward you on tik tok, I was intrigued because I saw communication (I know, something so simple), but that amazed me because I don't like miscommunication plots. But beyond that, the FL was just so bright, ever time the episode was ending, I was looking forward to her little words, that made such a nice touch, I felt like I was reading her mind, and became infatuated by. The ML was also a great choice, great character development. Side characters were also so well chosen. It's a great romance, if your are young you will want to live something like this, if you are an adult you will think that you wanted that relationship, nothing sad, just imagination! Recommend it.
