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?
Honest review
I don’t really know what to say about it other then it IS worth the watch, it’s supper good, it’s a bit slow at first but the mains characters help me through it. It just ended but rewatched it again . Gu ran and jiang Jia side story was so fun to watch. It is coming out age and it was fun with all the different backgrounds of each character, Guan feng’s story got me. I felt for him. Happy they all got happy ending. The only thing I would like was a bit more of luli’s (rangrangs brother) life. WISH FOR A SEASON 2!!!Was this review helpful to you?
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.

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?
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)

One of Best Youth High-School Chinese Dramas to Watch
I REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW!At first, I did not expect this drama would be my interest because I felt like the plot was the same with all aired dramas in the past. But I was wrong! The story is interesting enough to keep going to next episode. The characters of FL and ML, even the friendship are also really great. The FL is a smart, cheerful, thoughtful person who I love the most, not the clingy, dumb, childish (thanks to the writer for a more mature FL character).
Beside their friendship, what I love the most is also the communication between our main couple. Since they are in high school, they have good understanding for each other so in their adult phase, they are compatible enough even though they are busy with their college and work.
Thanks for a healthy show, with healthy relationships that resulted in beautiful growth for each of them. Rewatching this later is definitely on the agenda! :)
PS: Based on this show, is it true that men and women can never be friends? Since there are two couple formed in this show HAHAHA XD

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.

That one special mark will be always for you..?
If you want lots of drama, love triangles or misunderstandings that drag too long... look elsewhere.
If I had to use three words to describe this drama they would be soft, fluffy and heartwarming.
The best youth drama I have watched this year.
I have loved this show so much that I just couldn't help myself but write a review on how good this show is! And also, I am not a native English speaker, so please ignore grammar mistakes if I've made any.
Often times when I watch any show, I just care about the main couple and don't give a damn about whatever happens to the side couple/character(s), but here, it's a completely different story. I had the same amount of interest in every character's storyline.
The friend group — I adore the strong bond that they have among their group. They are the type of friends who are so silly yet so pure, who will pull your leg at any given chance but will not hesitate to stand by your side the in times of crisis.
Their relationship development was neither rushed nor too slow-paced.
So, if you love a good romantic youth/idol drama with a good storyline and great acting or you're feeling down and want to lighten up the mood or you're just looking for a good light hearted rom-com drama that you can binge on, then this drama is definitely for you!

This review may contain spoilers
I finished the story not because the romance but the friendship. Their friendship between them feels real. For the romance, it's not for me. I believe in relationship, relationship should have effort of 2 person not one person alone. But in this drama, FL is the one give her effort on that relationship. People keep saying ML so green forest because he is soft spoken but it doesn't feel that way. You know men typical where FL ignoring ML that's when ML feel lost, and that's what Rangrang does. The acting is quite good Was this review helpful to you?
You don't need conflicts to have a wonderful story. Sometimes we just need peace in love.
If you are someone who loves to watch dramas without complicated plots and issues. You should give this a try. It's fun, cute, mature and healthy show that would make you reflect about why we complicate life. The drama is light, but it touches issues about insecurities, understanding, communication and security.This drama gave me the kind of peace I hope for in a relationship, be it romance or friendship. Two people giving the kind of support and understanding that is rarely seen today and friends that would be with you without doubt. The story is simple, yet it will you such warmth you never thought you needed. The most important thing is that it teaches you that distance and differences should never be a source of conflict to break a good relationship. It might require trust, effort and maturity but growing in different surrounding doesn't mean that you are growing apart.
I really love how brave the main lead in expressing their thoughts and feelings.
