cutest drama ever!!
I love this drama so much! Even before finishing it, I knew this would be my new favorite drama even out of all the dramas from different genres I watch. It's a very lighthearted youth drama during high school and at the end also includes their life after graduating and entering adulthood. The friendship between the 5 is the healthiest friendship I've ever seen. Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang are so adorable together and so is the second couple with Gu Ran and Jiang Jia. This is one of the first dramas where I thought the second couple is equally as good as the main couple (even though my favorite is still the main couple). The directing, music, actors, characters, storyline, plot, and pacing are so amazing! The production quality is good and the scenery and backgrounds are so aesthetic. Usually, I dislike when actresses try to act cute but fl here is so naturally adorable that it makes the drama even cuter. There are so many small details included that are relevant to the story and just make it so much better. This is a very refreshing drama and has become my comfort drama. I'm sad to have finished it but I will definitely rewatch it!Was this review helpful to you?
It's so cute, innocent and I love that we follow the journey. You have Su ZaiZai that is just SWEET. Not a single thing bothers this girl and when she falls for boy wonder, the rest is history. I love how respectful, sweet, reserved but still caring Zhang Lu Rang is; they truly were just the most iconic duo and I love that they skirted around love so easily. They truly were friends first then lovers and everything about that was just so sweet and amazing and I was down for the cause forreal. But the friendships were also amazing and I loved the families minus THE MOM IFYKYK; but other than that fantastic watch.
I loved the acting, new faces for me but they did the damn thing.
Music was REMARKABLE; every song was wonderful and I loved the variety.
Overall, definitely watch this :)

one of those feel good youth drama that you have to watch at least once in a lifetime
Whenever I decide to watch a drama, I usually start by reading the general plot first. for WIFTY, the plot alone made me expect something light, just a typical youth coming-of-age story, filled with playful moments and only light conflicts along the way.at first, to be honest, there were moments that tested my patience, such as how the FL sometimes made me want to scratch the wall with how hard she tried to get the ML’s attention, some other times i got mad due to the ML’s attitude that really left me frustrated. If this had been my own story, I probably would’ve given up on RangRang after putting in so much effort without anything in return.
But as the story unfolded, something shifted. I realized that every character carried their own quiet weight, their own story. That’s when it hit me... this wasn’t just another youth drama. Slowly, I found myself attached, not just to the leads, but to the whole group. It felt like being part of their little circle :") laughing with them, crying with them, and holding on to that bittersweet ache of growing up and chasing dreams.
By the time the FL and ML’s relationship began to unfold, my love for this drama only deepened. It left me with a warm, lingering feeling, and it reminds me with my teenage days :") that, growing up itself, even with all its ache, can also be something beautifully tender and a phase of life that we should cherish forever.

watch this to make your day better
This drama is lighthearted, mood boosting, and sooo wholesome! There are barely any major plot conflicts, and watching this made me feel so warm and fulfilled with each episode.I really enjoyed the dynamic of the main couple. I thought it was really cute that Rangrang was introverted and quiet but is actually really warm and thoughtful on the inside. His personality goes well with Zaizai, who is extroverted, energetic and bright. Zhou yi ran played Rangrang really well and looked sooo fine in the drama! I thought his high school boy look was so angelic and cute.
The 2012 setting and aesthetic is really nostalgic, making the high school romance even better! Highly recommend for people just looking for something chill and good vibes.

A short and sweet drama well worth your time
I'll start by saying I'm currently in a phase where I get really impatient with long, dragged out romance plots where it takes forever for the leads to get together. However, with this show even though they spend most of the drama not officially together I found myself not skipping a single scene because the interactions between all the characters were so precious and fun to watch.I think all the characters had excellent chemistry with each other. Their friendships and journey through youth was really refreshing to watch and because the episodes were so short, they got to the point and it never felt dragged. Honestly, after watching this show I'm wondering why more youth dramas don't adopt this straightforward method of story-telling. It really keeps the content engaging.
I know a lot of people have been saying they like the second couple more than the main couple, but I actually disagree! Although I did love the second couple, nothing tops the main couple in this show for me. Their personalities are just so well matched and Su Zai Zai has to be my favorite lead girl. She's caring and sweet but also has a very straightforward, no-nonsense personality. A lot of classic drama tropes were turned on their heads in this show mainly because of how maturely she handled obstacles and I really respect her character for that. It shows that you don't have to be a cold and calculating type to be seen as a "strong" woman. Zai Zai was cute and affectionate while also being strong and I really appreciated that portrayal. Zhang LuRang was also portrayed very well and I think it's truly a "she fell first but he fell harder" type of relationship :)
In general, if you like romance and if you like light-hearted shows absolutely give this one a go. You won't be disappointed.

Super Cringe and Childish but Completely Addictive!
When I Fly Towards You (2023) is a wildly popular, high-budget youth drama that delivers a pure, nostalgic, and incredibly heartwarming slice-of-life experience. It stands out as the ultimate comfort show, even if it embraces heavy doses of high school clichés.Story (9.5/10):The plot is a very gentle, slow-burning coming-of-age story that follows a tight-knit group of high school friends journeying together into university life. It completely avoids toxic misunderstandings, heavy angst, or annoying love triangles. Instead, it focuses entirely on youth, mutual academic support, and healthy relationship growth. While the narrative is undeniably childish and filled with cringe-worthy moments in the early episodes, the pure warmth and the unshakeable loyalty of the squad make the overall experience incredibly delightful and cozy.Acting & Cast (10/10):Zhou Yiran and Zhang Miaoyi delivered fantastic performances with a highly natural, adorable on-screen chemistry. Zhang Miaoyi is great as Su Zaizai, and even though her overly cheerful, loud, and submissive stalking behavior can be quite polarizing and annoying at first, her character's unconditional devotion is what drives the emotional growth of the show. Zhou Yiran is absolute perfection as the quiet, deeply insecure Zhang Lurang. The way he slowly learns to love himself and smiles because of her energy will completely melt your heart.Overall:When I Fly Towards You is a mandatory watch for anyone looking for a stress-free, sweet, and comforting school romance built on mutual growth. Driven by an endearing main duo and amazing squad goals, it is a flawless 10/10 comfort ride with massive rewatch value. Highly recommended!Was this review helpful to you?
If you want a light and warm drama, this is the answer.
For the first time watching this drama, I stopped at the second episode and didn't want to continue because I felt bored. after this drama was declared over and people praised this drama, I felt confused, what's so special? then I convinced myself to continue watching. then I realized that this drama is really interesting and warm. This drama looks cliche but has special little plots. I like all the characters who have their own strengths and weaknesses, they support each other. The most important thing is the two main characters smart and solve the problem quickly. I regret not watching this drama earlier. I regret not enjoying my youth like they did.Was this review helpful to you?
THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER I WANNA CRY.
THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER I WANNA CRY. Everyone in this show had great acting skills (which is kinda uncommon in C-drama if you ask me), and the chemistry between all the characters was MWAHHHH their friendship is to die for😭😭 .This might seem like I'm being overdramatic or something but like really I've never been this invested in a C-drama before it quite literally hurt to finish, there's like a big gap in my heart in the form of this series, this was the missing puzzle from my life I love it so much.
NEVER SKIPPED A SCENE ( I lied I did skip once 😔)
I WAS SMILING THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAMN TIME.
10/10 would a 1000% reccomend.
It's gonna take me a while to move on from this and watch other series with the same actors in it cause I just cannot accept the fact that they're not besties and in love in real life I wanna throw up.
Okay bye. (PS: I rated music an 8 cause I don't pay attention to OSTs... oops, so take that one with a grain of salt)

it's my first time giving a review after all the dramas and movies i've watched, but wifty made me do this!my brain isn't functioning so well right now, but i must say that this drama deserves more hype than what it has gotten so far (and is currently getting) because i myself can't get the youthfulness this drama has brought me as a teenager who's about to graduate shs in less than a year!
this drama made me go kilig and giggle A LOT, I SWEAR 🙋 it's sooooo comforting to watch because of how supportive and lovely they are to each other (may it be for friendship or for a romantic relationship).

Beautiful and uplifting
When I Fly Towards You manages to capture the fleeting moment in life when possibilities are endless. Back when we say goodbye to childhood and we become young adults going out into the world to expand our understanding as we discover ourselves through others.On a technical aspect the cdrama is shot digitally but there are snippets filmed with an analog camera, visually making you understand you are being told this story from the POV of someone remembering. This adds a layer of nostalgia. Smart and beautiful to watch.
The acting is what I expect from a youth drama that understands itself: good natured, solid and well-rounded performances of characters growing up as we see them going through different every day experiences involving school, friends, family and love.
Overall, I fully enjoyed this cdrama that features an easy to cheer for characters, with good chemistry, learning about life and themselves. This is why I love youth dramas, they can be a source of joy and energy.

my top 1 cdrama <3
honestly didn’t expect much going into this but BOY WAS I WRONG. the friendship, the cinematography? the soundtrack? CHEFS KISSS 💋 this gave me nostalgic vibes and made me long for a friend group like theirs, where u can share everything, and be vulnerable. i loved how the story showed their growth over the years. it made me think about the kind of people i want to surround myself with.zhang lurang ILYYYYY, you are more than enough. just like su zaizai said, you’re 101 marks over 100, because that extra +1 will always be hers, and that’s what makes you even more special.
