When I Fly Towards You

Wholesome easy watching

It took me a while to get into this drama because it’s so different to the dramas I usually watch. It’s not super dramatic, with constant plot twists and and dilemmas, it’s cute and wholesome watching that makes you feel warm inside. It was a refreshing watch with no annoying misunderstanding trope to be found and the small problems that did occur were quickly solved. Usually with dramas I’m sobbing from heartbreak but in WIFTY I was shedding tears from happiness by the last episode. This is the perfect coming of age drama and I’m so glad I stuck it through the first few episodes.

Cute love story

Drama is very cute! One would feel like smiling all the time while watching the drama. The leads look good together. Their pairing looks natural. It doesn’t look like they are acting. Some good messages are conveyed through drama related to stress due to comparison between students and how love always comes first and can resolve all conflicts. Brotherly love is shown beautifully.
The female lead character is shown as strong person who can take care of herself and handle all the problems thrown at her. Her perspective is fresh and pure and she stands up for her beliefs. Her character remains cheerful in all episodes except for 1 where there was 1 misunderstanding that put her down. Otherwise in all other episodes, her character remains uplifted and full of joy.
The male lead character is silent but takes proper action when needed. His character is reliable and cute. So they both look really cute together.

MY FINEST COMFORT C DRAMA!

As a high schooler myself, this hit so hard, especially since I was also on my way to my future with my friends. The actor's acting is not forced; it's so natural, and the cinematography is a breath of fresh air! There's no trope; it just makes you feel, in some way, comforted that some scenes make you tear up a little, especially the scenes of friendship between the five of them, which is so precious! I love how the drama balances the side stories of the characters, from how they started as high school students who joke around and have fun to achieving their dreams at the end and still being in contact with each other. This is such a healthy drama of family-orientedness and friendship. Over all, I really recommend this; you won't regret watching it.

Balanced, Beautiful, and Real.

This drama is such a refreshing, lighthearted watch. It actually reminded me of Forever Love, since both start with the couple’s wedding and follow their journey from high school to college, work, and eventually marriage. The difference is that this one focuses more on the high school phase, with only a few episodes dedicated to their college and working life. But unlike Forever Love, it avoids the usual frustrating tropes—no love triangles or constant misunderstandings. It’s simply a feel-good, well-paced story.

I now understand why this has a 9.0 rating—it truly deserves it.

Su Zai Zai is such a charming character—bubbly and bright, yet not naive. I love that she stands her ground and knows when to set boundaries, even with her cheerful personality. Zhang Lu Rang took a little while for me to warm up to, but once I understood his background—especially the pressure from being constantly compared to his younger brother—his character really hit home. His growth from being cold and distant to warm and emotionally open was so satisfying to watch.

What really stands out is how healthy their relationship is. They communicate well, support each other, and there’s a real sense of balance between them. Rang Rang may be in Class 1 and seen as the top student, but he struggles in English—meanwhile, Su Zai Zai from Class 9 excels at it. I loved how they helped each other out, tutoring one another and growing together.

The music also adds to the overall charm—fitting perfectly with the warm, easygoing vibe. I’d definitely recommend this as a first C-drama for anyone new to the genre. It’s wholesome, heartwarming, and well worth the watch.

very simple and light drama on youth

I have seen so many good reviews on this drama and I must say that it’s not really my cup of tea. Firstly, the actress(zhang miao yi) acting was cringe at times and i have to pause whenever she speaks in that high pitched voice. The actor( zhou yi ran ) portrays a cold guy and his acting wasn’t superb either. There are quite a few of sweet moments between the two and I must give them some credit for that, but other than that, I don’t really have much to say about this drama. Everything was just cute and fluffy, typical high school romance where the girl falls for a cold quiet shy guy at first site. Honestly a little disappointing. But i can see why many people really like this drama, because of its sort of nostalgic feeling of their youth days. If you are going for a very simple and light drama this is the one for you.

Worth watching only without expectations

I was so excited and had high expectations before watching this drama as people around me were praising it so much but after started watching it, i saw that i had it all wrong.

The story line wasn’t so bad, I would say the storyline was good but this drama would have been far better if the acting of the casts were better, the female lead of this drama, her acting didn’t feel like real to me, I think its because i had so many expectations from it.

I couldn’t finish the whole drama cause it felt like a time waste totally, still i tried so hard to finish it and watched till 16episodes but it bored me. Some scenes were good, i have to agree, like the scenes from the beach and the scenes from aquarium, I liked those scenes. aside these it was pretty boring.

I think this drama would be good to you if you watch it without any expectations, don't watch it if you have too much expectations, then you will feel boring like me. This is a high school drama so it would be good to you if you are in school, maybe its worth one time watching. I don't know if I can but still I will try watching the rest episodes and see if it gets better after 16 episodes.

To be honest, the ost was pretty good and I'm kinda addicted to it<33

It pains me to say that this drama would’ve received a far higher rating...

from me if it wasn’t for the FL...Like genuinely the FL was what stood in the way between the rating I gave vs a rating that was 1-2 stars higher. I simply couldn’t stand her weird dialogue and acting since the very start of this drama. Although the drama itself kind of grew on me toward the end (not enough tbh), I consistently rolled my eyes at her and cringed at least once every episode. There’s a night and day difference between Su Zaizai and Jiang Jia (and I LOVED Jiang Jia) and I genuinely think they could’ve allowed Zaizai to keep her bubbly personality without turning her into a 5 year-old in a 25 year-old woman’s body. The plot here should theoretically be my cup of tea, actually, but for some reason I ran into the same issue I run into with some youth cdramas where for some reason I’m just kind of bored the whole time. I don’t think the drama did anything wrong per se, I might just not be one to enjoy youth cdramas as much as I think. However, I really enjoyed the fact that there was quick and easy conflict resolution and nothing super dramatic that happened. It made the watch very enjoyable and positive and is why I say that it’s technically “my type” of drama. Funny enough, as much as I complain about unresolved misunderstandings, I would’ve been okay with some of them being resolved a little later (the not annoying ones ahah) since they added some entertainment in the sea of “no problems whatsoever the couples are together and happy as can be” eutopia in romcoms that gets boring QUICK if you overdo it. Anywho, I personally don’t really think the drama deserves a 9.0 rating since there were personally quite a few issues I encountered that I’m sure other people have as well, and I felt like there was just little to no emotional impact with the characters for me personally (I’m comparing to how I felt watching dramas like Hidden Love or Someday or One Day who did great in this department). But if you don’t mind an incredibly cringey FL (gahh) and enjoy the youth genre, I would still recommend you watch this one as you’re likely to really enjoy it.

I'm a mess

I waited 3 weeks to let this drama settle and I can honestly say that this drama left me a wreck. I can not stress the happy emptiness I felt after completing the final episode. What I loved most was how fulfilled I felt at the end. I felt like it was properly resolved, there were no loose ends that needed to be tied, and I felt that everything was as it needed to be.

Unlike other slice-of-life dramas, I felt that the five of them truly were friends and could've existed as friends outside of the relationships. I love how we got to see a little bit of their stories and their struggles without it needing to be an elaborate plot. It was still as poignant and relatable. All five of them sincerely hold a soft spot in my heart and honestly, in the last few weeks I've rewatched it multiple times. It's super light and easy to follow, and i watched it following the mess of The legend of Anle

So sweet and cute

I loved loved loved this one. Here's why:

The FL was so cute without being cringe at all! I've watched a few dramas where the FL is like over the top sweet, and it just seems so weird, but Zhang Miao Yi played the part of Su Zai Zai perfectly. Zhou Yi Ran was also so handsome in this drama... I think it's his best drama.

As far as the plot goes... the first few episodes were harder to get through because of the military setting. I almost gave up on this show, but I'm glad I didn't! Once they got back to school, I was completely hooked.

I loved how supportive the characters all are of each other, as well as Guan Fang's relationship with his grandma!

The OST -- wow. I've listening to this on repeat for so many days, I don't think I can get over it 💖

I would definitely recommend this drama, especially if you've watched Hidden Love and enjoyed it. They're really similar -- they both are sweet, no jealous or cheating drams, although When I Fly Towards You is a bit more nostalgic in feel.

YAY TO FLUFFY DRAMAS MAKING YOUR HEART HAPPY + HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS (!!!)

Title says it all! I'm a bit late to watching this drama, but after a year of a huge drama drought where it was hard to find anything genuinely worth watching from beginning to end, THIS WAS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I wish I could've recorded myself watching this drama because I smiled the entire time. It was that wholesome and good. <3

This drama is from the POV of Su Zai Zai, our protagonist and FL. As many others have pointed out, the actress, Zhang Miao Yi, did a great job pulling off the cutesy-but-not-annoying-or-cringey character. It was the type of cute where you're like "if I was a guy, I would totally have a crush on her. She's so adorable." And OMG OUR RANG RANG <3333333 Honestly Zhou Yiran's dimples WERE SO CUTE BC EVERYTIME HE SMILED I WAS LIKE AHHHHHHHHHH SO CUTE!!! I absolutely LOVED how Zhang Lurang was not your typical cold, genius, super good at everything ML. He seemed like a real person, who despite seeming "cold" at first, is actually super warm and def a man that loves HARD. The relationship between SZZ and ZLR was so healthy to see, which I really think we need to see more of in C-dramas. The relationship between the second leads, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia was also absolutely endearing to see. As many others have pointed out, I would watch a drama based off of their relationship as well :) And Guan Fang + his relationship with his grandma was soooo sweet. I just lost my grandmother recently, so seeing how much grandma + grandson cared for each other meant a lot to me.

The first 19 or so episodes are about their high school life, from how the group of 5 met in 10th grade (LOL) to graduation in 12th grade. It then follows their life in university and beyond. If you look at some of the other dramas I've watched, I absolutely love dramas that follow the characters over a long period of time. I always love seeing how characters have changed, since we clearly aren't the same people from high school to college, much less from high school to our working life.

I only write reviews for SUPER SUPER GOOD DRAMAS, so please DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!! Do it for the most endearing friendships, romantic relationships, DRAMA FREE PLOT, and heart + head-soothing story. Seriously. Do yourself a favor, stop scrolling on MDL, and go watch this drama. There's a reason it's rated so highly.

And to all my ladies out there, LOLOLOLOL I like how our standards have collectively been risen.
