If you're looking for messy drama, this isn't your cup of tea!!
From the start this was a heart warming show that had me giggling under my sheets, skipping the outro just so I could see more of Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang.The story follows Su ZaiZai, a true definition of a sunshine girl, who meets a handsome mysterious boy at a nearby convenience store in the rain. She immediately has her eye on him but guess what? she gets his name wrong.
She comedically mistakes him for his best friend Gu Ran and you can guess what happens from there.
I especially love how this show was able to showcase all of the lovely relationships and how real and true it was. Gu Ran and Jiang Jia were absolute end game and I love how there story was written. they were the true definition of enemies to friends to lovers. there was a true growth in their relationship that most people don't showcase when they write.
Also the cuteness overload is intense, so prepare to have aching cheeks by the time you're done. i hope you guys enjoy like light, heartwarming drama as much as I did❤️

must-watch for fans of youth dramas
When I Fly Towards You is undeniably one of the most adorable youth dramas out there. Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lu Rang make a cute couple, and their love story is as sweet as it is heartwarming. The series is a light romance but feels deep because of the strong connections between the characters.Aside from the main leads' relationship, the dynamic between the second leads, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia, truly caught my attention. Their chemistry is undeniable, and they feel perfectly matched. Sadly, they were given less screen time, with some of their scenes even unaired. Honestly for me, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia stood out more than the main leads. Gu Ran is irresistibly endearing. The way he looks at Jiang Jia—with pure admiration and sincerity—is nothing short of captivating. Gu Ran is definitely a green flag man.
This drama is a must-watch for fans of youth dramas. The characters share a bond that feels genuine and heartfelt, making it a truly unforgettable youth drama.

A MUST WATCH!
Never have I ever come across a drama that is so simple, so beautiful, so perfect, and just gives you all the right feels in your heart. From acting to story and casting to music, everything was done perfectly right. I can't tell you the number of times I have gone back to watch this drama. And I can say for sure that once you watch it, it's going to become your comfort drama and you won't be able to resist to its charm.If I were to wish anything more in this drama, then it would be to see a little more of their married life and romantic scenes, but even now it is perfect as it is.

Unexpectly cute HS drama
Pretty cute HS drama w/o excessive cringe scenes & bad characters. Easily binge through 24 ep.Positives:
1. Super cute cast especially the ML , FL and FL's bestie.
2. 5 friends ALL have very different and good personalities.
3. Positive teachers? What? in a C-Drama?
4. Minimal negative characters & lines although the ML's mom's scenes I still needed to skip that.
5. Chemistry: ML & FL personalities compliment each other very well.
6. Dialogue: Plenty of funny lines
7. Enough substance: coming of age experiences for character growth.
8. Natural sounding voices & natural makeup. Simplicity is key
Not so Great:
FL's character is still semi cringe. This does fall into the drama trope of academically challenged Female (at least she excels in English) that talks 10 years younger & always need to be saved.

best thing ever
this is LITERALLY the best thing ever on earth, i keep rewatching it and looking at lots of edits. i literally giggle and laugh the whole time while watching. i can admit, ive cringed often but it wasnt even that bad since su zaizai is a silly, funny cute girl despite that she can stand up for herself and if she falls down she will get up right away and doesnt let us sit in the cringe moment for a long time. their friendgroup and relationships are so admirable and it seems like peak teenage friendshipWas this review helpful to you?
it ends good
I love this show so much it has everything I have been looking for.it’s a amazing show and I recommend you watch it. if you like this show try these other shows (these are All on Netflix) crash landing on you, business proposal, king the land, doom at your service and hidden love. all of these shows I have watched on Netflix and all of them have a good ending and all of them are enemy’s to lovers (most of them) and I also recommend “lighter and princess” really good show and will make you cry but has a good endingWas this review helpful to you?

my new favorite relationship!
ahh! I love this series so much. They did a very good job building up the leads' relationship as well as the overall friendship aspect too. I love that even though this is set in high school and a coming of age story, the leads were very mature and there were no stupid misunderstandings. I think the magic here really is their friendship. You get to see more of how much they rely on one another and how they are best friends first before becoming a couple. The bubbly girl - stoic guy trope is done very well and I did not find any of them annoying at all.
Plus you get comedy and humor with the friendship group and the second leads too! Everyone is just very likeable and looks after one another. Really the epitome of youth, in a very healthy way.
I wish they would've showed more of the leads' relationship in college and beyond as well as the second leads too. And there are some annoying family drama, but well worth the watch regardless. But nonetheless, I'm very happy with what we got!

My sweet tooth is hurting because of this drama
I was really so tired of the shows with all that pointless toxicity that I wanted to quit watching drama. So this one brought my life back I never think I have smiled so much looking at a drama. No pointless toxicity at all no useless crying and every episode being an happy episode this drama is officially my favourite.I never loved all the characters so much I am definitely watching it again soon. It will be hard for me to move on from such a wonderful drama
It had no misunderstanding, no irritating characters, no drama just 2 people being in love and having a easy happy ever after.
It had so many sweet moments that my sweet tooth started aching and I love the fact.

Wholesome and healthy lovestory
Super cute drama about first and true love. It’s definitly a drama that will make you smile! The lovestory is super wholesome and healthy. The relationship between the two main characters is characterized by loyalty and trust. I never felt distressed or annoyed while watching because the is no toxicity and no unnecessary drama.In the beginning the story it’s a little silly and i thought „oh it’s one of those typically and cringy highschool dramas“ but as the story develops and the characters grow older the story gets more mature as well.
So give it a chance and you won’t be disappointed! :)

LET'S KEEP THIS MEMORY SAFE IN A CAMERA
I sat through this one, waiting for new EPs and rounding up with the ending while thinking of a better way to summarize it. And I guess I can say. Cute?
Or perhaps in a more sophisticated way, let's keep this little memories safe in the camera.
One thing I really appreciate about this one is the nice and naive depiction of first love and it's bubbly butterfly feeling throughout the story amongst our leads. Going from high school to their wedding. It was really nice.
Plot wise, It wasn't something so wow. Not something heavily impactful. Not something with plot twist and all. It's Just something with a feel good nostalgic atmosphere. Something you can sit through and watch while smiling. Something to pass time with I guess? It was a decent plot for it's genre and nicely done.
The Acting was something I really appreciated as well. They were just good for their roles and nailed it as well.
The Ost was something also good and suiting for the drama's atmosphere ( But sadly not something I'd consider adding to my playlist 😅)
Overall This drama was a Decent watch for people who likes such genre. Because it really did give what it was expected to deliver. But i personally don't think it's something to leave a heavy impression on me for that long Maybe?
It was just a cute watch. Watching cute people fall in love and run around while overcoming their various obstacles and becoming better versions of themselves.
A cute youthful feel good drama I'd recommend. And to all who really enjoyed it. I'd also recommend LET'S MEET NOW😅. Apparently both drama has some connections and I basically can't compare since they're different genre.
Overall, it has my rating of 8/10.

When I Fly Towards You: 1/28/2024 ~ 1/30/2024
This will forever be my favorite show, I rewatch at least once every couple of months. This is simply because it has everything you could want in a show. The romance is amazing and the chemistry is very there but not in an overpowering way but one that fits the ML and FL vibe. There is also so much friendship and those scenes have to be my favorite because it just makes me wish to have something like that. Also the secondary couple is so cute in the way the care for each other even though it took them a while to get there, I know I’m not saying a lot buts it’s simply because I can’t put into words how amazing this drama is but instead I just recommend that everyone watches it.Was this review helpful to you?
