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.

Good slice of life youth story
What i loved:the school part where they formed a group and stood for each other
there was no melodrama on silly things like not getting to same college , stream , class etc etc. They were mature about it. In one of the famous cdrama ML was ready to change streams just bcs FL was alone in a arts class. i couldnt continue watching after such stupidity from characters. Here even after getting together they were mature about it
FL being mature and outspoken when needed. I loved how innocent but at the same time strong the FL is.
Second pair story was great too
What i didnt like
College years and working years were cute to watch but nothing new in terms of freshness. We can see where it is going unlike school years so not that exciting but thats just a small -ve point.
Overall a great youth story after Lovely Us and Flourish in time!

Cute Cast
This drama came highly recommended by a fellow drama lover and so, I had to watch it too. Great drama! Loved it!What I Loved:
- The FL was perfectly cast. She had to be cute and yet, not pretentious. She had to be direct/ forward and yet, not annoying. FL was perfect for her role and she was quite a joy to watch from start to finish.
- I liked how the FL is cute and yet, sassy. She was not a pushover and she made sense even when it was her own view. I like strong female leads with spines.
- This is a high school / growing up drama and so, there was not a lot of hot and sexy sizzle between the FL and ML but the FL and ML looked pretty good together. All was good.
- I liked that FL and ML were very sincere about each other and did not play pointless games.
- The supporting cast was cute too. Everyone played significant enough roles. I found Guan Fang strangely funny. I also found his relationship with his granny very endearing. I also liked seeing how FL and her bestie were sincere and tight besties. (I hate insincerity in reel life and in real life.)
- Happy ending. Cliched but I liked it. Things came full circle.
What I Did Not Like Very Much - Very Minor Grouses:
- I found the first part when they were 16 and in freshman year a very long stretch. Thereafter, from 18 onwards, everything seemed to move a little too fast (compared to the first part). Perhaps pacing could have been a bit more even? Just IMO.
- ML did not have much expression but I also understood that it was his role/ character in the drama.
- Gu Ran should have let Jiang Jia know about how he felt and all the different actions of love and affection.
Overall, this drama was fast-paced enough in that things moved along. There aren't annoying villains who spoil the show. The sole "love rival" could not defeat the FL in any way. She was not a threat at all.
This drama was a fun watch for me! :o) Definitely go for it!

BEST ROMANCE CDRAMA TO DATE ><
I’ve been a serial drama watcher since 2016 from dramas to Jdramas, I’ve watched them all and I haven’t watched a drama that’s had me glued to my seat due to being in love with every aspect of this show!!!! The leads and and sub leads did their parts perfectly and there wasn’t anything TOO cringey that would have made me skip through some parts. 10/10 would rewatch and would recommend to anyone who likes a cute romance. And I love that is was a slow burn but it was just the right amount of slow and not too many misunderstandings and what misunderstandings there was, were resolved mostly in that same episode. One last thing that I lived for was the time skips. I love a good time skip and they did multiple just right and it didn’t leave me confused on where we was at😂😂BEST CDRAMA OF 2023❤️❤️❤️❤️

HOPELESS ROMANTIC
This drama makes me want to fall in love! I feel fuzzy and warm but also motivated! It’s just so pure and beautiful. I really wish I could rewatch this again for the first time. It’s a definite MUST WATCH at least once in your life, even if you’re not the biggest fan or romance or slow burn.Not only is this show fun to watch, it also has drama, an amazing plot, and very teenage/coming of age moments that are also very dreamy and filmed very well. I love the film and recorded aspect of it, it makes me want to record my life often too. It makes me feel hopeful, even now when things feel hopeless.
Sometimes I don’t mind being a Hopeless Romantic.

This is for the people who like wholesome dramas without any tedious conflicts
So you might think from the headline that I'd give this a solid 8-10 rating, right? No, that's not the case, but I don't by any means think this is a bad drama. For me it's just an ordinary drama and I know people are gonna disagree with me given that the average rating on MDL is a 9.1.LIKES
-There was zero toxicity in their friendships / relationships. And I know that seems the bare minimum, but it happens quite frequently. I do have to say that I don't particularly hate toxicity. I could even love it if they have the chemistry (*cough cough* Doona!)
-Even though Su Zai Zai has a very bubbly demeanor, she isn't naive, nor stupid and stands up for herself.
-WIFTY'S SIGNATURE SONG
-I found it really refreshing to see the girl chasing the guy instead of the other way around. WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THAT. Also, some women say they don't like the girl chasing the guy. Imo, that screams internalized misogyny
-The beach episode!
-Gu Ran's confession to Jiang Jia. Damnnnn. He has a way with words
-It makes you want to have the same kind of friend group
DISLIKES
-The last few episodes. Yes, it was a happily ever after. That's good. However, it was so... unnecessary. Sometimes we don't need writers to add whole episodes about the characters after high school when their story already ended IN high school. It makes the ending feel rushed. Sometimes we just need a SHORT clip of them as adults. Nothing more, nothing less. And maybe let Guan Fang finally have a girlfriend (Guan Fang was my favorite)
-As much as I loved the main couple, why was she still acting like a child as a grown woman? AND THEN SHE GOT PREGNANT? I genuinely had a jumpscare. Another reason why the ending was rushed
-I prefer character-driven stories. This was not one of them. A few characters were given backstories. but they did close to absolutely NOTHING with those backstories
-Why did we get sad backstories / life stories from ONLY the boys in their friend group?? Why didn't we see one of the girls struggling with a hardship? That gives me the impression that the author of the original novel likes writing about 'broken' boys. And girls can't have any flaws in their lives of course! Su Zai Zai's life was too perfect. Even Guan Fang and Gu Ran had a backstory. I think that says a lot
-Their friendship felt too perfect. There wasn't any messiness
-Jiang Jia liking Gu Ran felt sudden. She never showed it. Not even a subtle sign
Overall, not a bad drama. I just wish it had more depth in it

It makes me reminisce my youth days.
This series is so refreshing. As a young adult, it helps me reminisce my youth days. I have the same timeline with the story where it all started in 2012. I love the plot, the progress of the story and the cinematography. The actors were great into portraying their characters. The lead couple is flowing with natural chemistry. Not only the couple, but I love each characters. I also love the OST at the beginning and ending. It was so classic. Moreover, I also love that the conflicts were easily solved and the director didn't go with unnecessary dramas. It is not outstretched. It's a simply masterpiece.Was this review helpful to you?

Took me back to my ISWAK days!
I've been seeing this drama in my Netflix recommended list for a while now, but I never really had the interest to watch it, thinking it would be exactly like all other youth dramas out there, until I found a story edit from you tube which made me check it out. Oh boy, I'm glad I did! Our FL looks soooo much ike Ariel Lin! The nostalgia while watching it since I remember the times I was too in love with ISWAK. Admittedly, this is a better drama though.1. The FRIENDSHIP! I think this is what stood out from all other youth CDramas out there. Usually, for friends in a group of 5, the 3 is involved in a love triangle,then the other 2 becomes a couple, or simply cast aside as the story goes. I'm soooo glad this is different. There was no love triangle, & the friends stayed together until the end. They were not just fillers as well. Each of them had their own interesting story. I'm not even sad Guan Fang has no love life. His story with his Grandma is the sweetest thing! Although the friendship story got a bit sidelined after they graduated high school & went their own ways, I'm glad they all got back to their hometown after college graduation.
2. The love!
Main love: This is another case of she fell hard, but he fell harder. I like how they started with friendship, then eventually evolved. Although I did get bored a bit when they finally got together. I like how different it is from the other HS crush drama where the FL loves the ML to the point of toxicity. Like their world revolves around the boy they love & disregarding everything else. For this one, Su Zai Zai gaveLu Rang space when he needs it, & she respects him even if she has always admitted how she has liked him from the start. Supporting him silently when needed. It wasn't cringy at all! I love how Lu Rang evolved from a silent, timid person, to someone who smiles & is not afraid to show affection when he can! These two are exact opposites that balance each other. They also look sooo cute together! Great, great chemistry!
Second OTP: Jiang Jia & Gu Ran definitely stood out as well! Although it took time for them to be together due to several miscommunications, & trying to preserve that friendship, I'm sooo glad they found each other in the end. The stolen stares, the petty jealousy, the accidental discovery of feelings. I just wish they got together the same time as our OTP so I got to see them more as a couple, but all good!
Guan Fang & Grandma: I mean, who needs a girlfriend when you've got the best Grandma in the world! having lost both my Grandmas, GF's story also touched me as it reminded me of how loved I was by my Grannies when they were still with us. I was scared with him when Granny got sick. I'm so glad there was no drama & angst to this show & all ended well.
3. Can I also mention how brave this show is to also portray our OTP living together before marriage? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember watching any drama that actually showed this. Other shows are under a fake marriage contract, or co-parenting so they are "forced" to live together. But watching this surprised me when they decided to get an apartment together after college graduation. Although we already know they are end game, but I'm glad they portrayed this since it is a normal thing nowadays whether we agree or not. Bold move indeed!
This is one of the few who lingers on me after watching it. I was smiling all throughout the show! After watching The Worst of Evil, which brought me to a dark place, it is always refreshing to watch something light with no angst & no heavy drama! One of the best youth dramas out there!
