When I Fly Towards You

The charm of youth

In all Asian countries, China has always been doing great in producing school-based and coming-of-age genres as a series. The transition from old school to the present years settled the firm foundation of making the audience nostalgic and reminisce about the beauty of their youthful days. The best factor that I’ve seen from these dramas is the perfect blend of romance and friendship as the major highlight of their stories. When I Fly Towards You is one of the best examples of a drama that caters to the fantastic era of young adults throughout their lives.

I am super invested in this drama, especially during the time when all of them are still in the same school, where all of my favorite episodes come from. It is important for me as a viewer that all characters have their own spotlight to shine and this project provides me with it. All five of them have a story to tell and a path of journey to walk through with their own selves. They always made me cry with happiness every now and then.

It was almost a ten out of ten score for me not until they reached their university and adulthood age when I somehow felt less happy than the previous episodes. Yet, I still enjoyed the show and am grateful to see each of them fulfilling their dreams individually.

Rang Rang, Su Zai Zai, Guran, Jiang Jia, Guan Fang, and the rest of the characters in this show play a remarkable portrayal of their respective roles and they always have a special place in my heart. I love that they made me feel warm and joyful. To be able to look back once more on how beautiful the life of a youth is.

Sweetest, cutest, most heartwarming!

If you're looking for a school chinese drama with fluff, cuteness, and giggles, When I Fly Towards you will be on my top three of my recommendation. The stort itself is simple, about a bubbly chaotic girl who fell in love at first sight with a calm quiet boy and she pursues him. It does sound like a very repetitive plot, but when you finally watch it, it does not! I don't know why, but unlike in other typical dramas, Su Zai Zai is not annoying at all. In fact, I love her character, confident and strong willed. She is also very cute but not the type that can be pushed around and only waiting for the boy to save her. Zhang Lurang also surprised me. Usually, a guy like this will be rude towards the fmc, but Lurang does the opposite. He's very calm and soft spoken.


Zai Zai really lifts up Lurang's confidence and seems to make his world brigther again. Every interaction between those two are just so cute, feels like I'm back in my high school years. I also like how after they got together, Lurang seems to smile, speak, and initiate more.

Too bad we don't see much of Gu Ran, Jiang Jia, and Guan Fang, after high school graduation. The video type of scenes also make it very nostalgic and personal. Overall, this is a very fun and cute watch. This will be on of the dramas that I will visit often to see my favorite scenes.

This drama is like a breath of fresh air and a shot of espresso

I never would have thought that there would be a youth drama that would be at par with Time and Him is Just Right in terms of sweetness and just one that gives you butterflies in your stomach. I can't help but reminisce my childhood memories of watching this drama. It all has all kinds of cliche scenes and predictable plot in a youth drama but it was done so well that I found myself anticipating for the next episode. This drama healed my soul, really.

Let's talk about the perfect cast for this drama. The male leads are literally so cute together. I found myself dying from secondhand embarrassment at a few scenes at the start, haha, but the comedy was so top tier, I paused the video and just replayed the scenes over and over and laughed out loud. The chemistry between the cast and the romance is so swoon-worthy. I love me some green flag and puppy-like male lead. It was a breath of fresh air that the leads fell for each other at first sight. Usually for youth dramas, one fell for the other first, or both realize that they like each other after a few episodes. But this drama actually portrays perfectly what falling in love at first sight means. The male lead is not the usual cold male lead but just actually a shy one, and from the start he only has eyes for the female lead. The female lead is your bubbly girl but smart too, and has a sense of justice. She was so blatant in showing the male lead that she likes him that the male lead has no choice but to accept her affection haha. The portrayal of friendship and family problems surrounding the other characters was also done so well that I found myself attached to them.

Overall, I love love love this drama. And every time I finish a good drama, I feel so empty inside huhuh hopefully they keep it up in producing these amazing youth dramas because it is really one of my favorite genres. It gives me a sense of escape from reality sometimes. SOLID 10/10!!!!

Nice Plot but what about.....

Overall, this was a fantastic drama, but the one flaw was that it was intended to be a drama about a class and a friendship. The second lead couple, who were equally involved, had their courtship and confessions rushed since the drama was so preoccupied with Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang. I believe that the purpose of this drama was to depict a group of high school students learning about friendship and falling in love as they overcome obstacles at school and support one another through hardship, whether it be at home or at school. However, the drama focused too much on the two main leads—I know that they are the main leads, but overall the meaning was lost between the two second main leads. when they also merited the spotlight because the drama involved a large group of people rather than simply two individuals. Su Zai Zai did a great job portraying Zhang Lu Rang as someone who she truly loved, but I was unable to recognize his cold demeanor. I also believe that this was the point in the film where reality was lost regarding the fact that a girl wouldn't pursue someone who was so naive as Zhang Lu Rang; even though his personality began to take shape toward the end, it couldn't compensate for the girl's efforts.No girl will have the patience to wait for a guy who will be so chilly and uncomfortable around her, despite the fact that this is a drama, thus it still needs to be able to represent a little bit of truth. This is merely my own interpretation of what I took away from viewing this drama. As a high school drama, which I tend to enjoy a lot, I would certainly suggest it, however when compared to other dramas of a similar caliber, I believe there are better options available. Thank you

BEST YOUTH SERIES FOR ME THIS YEAR!!!

I usually tend to be quite picky with highschool or youth themed dramas because I tend to find them a bit repetitive but this was everything I wished and hoped for...having watched two favourite youth series from the same director I definitely had my hopes high and guess what!Each and every one of them was met🤗

The plot was light yet had such depth to it, the story was nostalgic and emotional but at the same time funny and the Dialogue was literally everything...the youth and friendship moments were highlighted perfectly and most of the times relatable, I cried, laughed and giggled with them..it was a consistent plot which didn't include any unnecessary plots but just centred around the main characters, growth character development,relationships, friendship, emotions and life.

The characters were so good each one of them fit their role, I loved the female lead and how gutsy and brave she could be most of the times, I admired how her character was written..Male lead was shy and an introvert for a change most are but he won me over without even saying much,the other characters were amazing too..my fav support role was Guan Feng I loved how he stood out despite only appearing a few times on screen...the cast did an amazing job in potraying their characters.

The chemistry between the leads and our second couple..the leads had that cite type of chemistry that had me giggling and kicking my feet most of the times and most of the times I would complain about extra couples but our second couple in this was everything..they had chemistry, I didn't cringe one bit and their story line had an actual impact to the story...loved both our couples.

The osts and cinematography was everything, her recording their moments with a cam corder was nostalgic and the cinematography was dreamy like..the osts were amazing..each one of them tbh...❤️

I can't find actual complaints about this series, except say that I loved each and every episode and how it just kept getting better and better...loved the story flow to the characters to the osts and cinematography I loved everything.

If you looking for a nice light hearted fun youth series then this is it...🤍

Beautiful Romance Drama. Perfection.

The Male Lead of the show was good with great character development with his brother and the people around him, he was enjoyable to watch, a silent character done well that has a great personality. The Female Lead was also a great character and very enjoyable to watch with her bubbly character and outgoing personality. The supporting cast was also incredibly good the main group consisting of 5 splendid characters each with their own issues and upbringings. The Grandma of this show added emotion to this show and added a lot of real-life situations. The parents of Gu Ran also added a feel of what it feels like to not have parents at home all the time due to them being busy but also having an understanding of that and still loving them. The show's pacing was incredibly good and while most dramas have terrible pacing these days these show episodes always leave you wonderfully joyful as each episode is incredibly great and moves the drama forward. The show also isn't as long as other C Dramas as it's only 24 episodes and each one is 30 minutes long. Although it isn't very long it perfectly fulfills what the show needs to be in terms of length.

Some additional but extremely great highlights of the show were the production. The OST was very memorable and noticeable, typically when I watch dramas the OSTs aren't something I really remember after the show except for a few exceptions but this one was very memorable. The Camera features one of my favorites as it added a lot of depth to this show it has the pictures saying Cam and the sound getting worse to signify that it's a camera recording making it genuinely feel like it was a camera recording of the characters and was one of my favorite features of the show. Sadly they removed it towards the end of the show but it was most likely because they were now out of college which is understandable. Nonetheless, it's these small features that add a new layer to the show and I think this is a great watch.

Overall this is one of the best dramas I've ever watched due to the depth, production, story, characters, character development, pacing, and minor details that add a lot to the story. Definitely a 10/10. I 100% would recommend it. This year has been really great for Chinese Dramas it seems.

Eyes Locked, Hearts Stolen

In the fall of 2012, Su Zai Zai spots the mysterious Zhang Lu Rang at a convenience store. Their eyes meet, and though no words are exchanged, she’s instantly hooked. When she discovers they attend Yucai High School, she decides to pursue him, sparking the beginning of something special. On the surface, Zhang Lu Rang seems to have it all, top grades, a privileged life, but behind the scenes, he struggles with self-doubt and lives in the shadow of his genius younger brother. His quiet, controlled world starts to open up thanks to Su Zai Zai’s cheerful energy and their circle of friends Gu Ran, Guan Fang, and Jiang Jia. Together, they chase dreams, support each other, and navigate the messy, sweet chaos of first love, proving that sometimes the right people can help you find your true self.

When I Fly Towards You is a warm, nostalgic trip back to the highs, lows, and secondhand embarrassment of teenage love. From the very first scenes and credits, I was hooked. The retro, sentimental vibe immediately sets the tone for a story that’s as charming as it is heartwarming.

The drama kicks off with Su Zai Zai spotting the aloof Zhang Lu Rang at a convenience store. No words are exchanged, but the sparks fly. Once she finds out they go to the same Yucai High School, she goes full-on pursuit mode. Su Zai Zai can be a bit cringey at times—hello, secondhand embarrassment—but it’s endearing and very much part of the charm. Her puppy-like persistence slowly grows on you, especially as we see how genuinely wise and caring she is beneath all the chatter. She’s practically a psychologist with how effortlessly she comforts others, uses the right words, and even melts Zhang Lu Rang’s icy exterior. What surprised me is how much her character grows on you. Despite her endless yapping and puppy-love antics for Zhang Lu Rang, she’s actually wise, thoughtful, and remarkably positive. I expected her to be hard-headed, maybe even force her way into East China University just to be near him, but instead she listened to Mr. Lin’s advice, applied to another university as a backup, and worked hard to maintain her grades so she could still attend the same university as Zhang Lu Rang. Her mix of determination, maturity, and optimism makes her much more than a silly, love-struck heroine. She’s genuinely lovable and surprisingly relatable.

Speaking of him, Zhang Lu Rang is a breath of fresh air. Unlike the typical aloof, cold male leads who push the heroine away, he’s approachable, attentive, and quietly kind. He never gets annoyed with Su Zai Zai’s schemes, corrects misunderstandings when necessary, and doesn’t mind her being around. Watching him smirk at her antics? Embarrassing for Su Zai Zai, but absolutely adorable. His eventual confession and taking the lead in their relationship gave me literal flutters. The “she fell first, he fell harder” dynamic works so well here, and seeing their cozy, hand-holding moments is just heart-melting.

The drama also shines because it doesn’t focus solely on the main couple. The ensemble cast, including Gu Ran, Jiang Jia, and Guan Fang, gets ample screen time and development. Gu Ran’s mix of playful bickering and genuine, heartfelt moments makes him irresistible. His subtle confession to Jiang Jia and unwavering support for her shows a maturity that’s both swoon-worthy and realistic. Jiang Jia’s arc had its ups and downs, though I found her plot twist in episode 23 a bit anticlimactic. Guan Fang, on the other hand, is hilariously the fifth wheel in the friend group, and I can’t help but feel for him.

The drama is light and easy to watch, but it’s the little details that make it memorable. I couldn’t stop noticing small gestures, like Zhang Lu Rang casually handing Su Zai Zai a bottle of water. A tiny scene continuity issue aside, moments like this highlight his growing warmth and subtle affection. Even the ending felt slightly rushed, leaving me wishing for just a few more cozy, lingering scenes.

Overall, When I Fly Towards You is a sweet, nostalgic ride full of heart-fluttering romance, quirky friendships, and genuine character growth. It’s a drama that makes you laugh, cringe a little, and then sigh happily at the warmth of it all. Perfect for anyone who loves first love done right, a realistic aloof male lead, and a friend group that feels like your own.
