When I Fly Towards You - A Purely Wholesome Watch!

Oh god, what is this drama... TOO GOOD! I didn’t even plan on watching it, but it was recommended to me after Reply 1988, and hands down... so cuteeee! 😭💖. I DISLIKED NOTHING IN THIS DRAMA..... I LOVEEEEE IT 😭💗🌸☺️

I love everything about the ML and FL. There’s no unnecessary drama, no forced misunderstandings, and no pointless breakups like in other dramas. It’s just pure, wholesome romance, and that’s what I love the most about it!

Even the second leads, Jiang Jia and Gu Ran, had such amazing chemistry. I was just as invested in their love story! Every character feels meaningful, and the school days vibe is so fun and nostalgic. Makes me wish I had someone like that too, lol. 😆

If you’re looking for a heartwarming, no-drama, feel-good romance, this is it! 💫✨

For the young once..

I love the drama Intro!!!

This drama is not for someone looking for plot twists, angst, misunderstandings or drawn out back stories. This drama is for someone who is looking to spend their/hours feeling good and appreciating friendship and love.

Let’s just say I am in my late 30s. I watch both Korean and Chinese dramas and i have dropped a lot of them. I watch different genres depend on my mood. I started to watch this drama while waiting for new episodes of Hidden Love and I finished the whole drama overnight. I’m one to read reviews on here before starting a drama. No regrets for me. My hours were well spent and have actually rewatched multiple times. I also read the novel and I liked how they adapted it in this drama. This drama has become an escape for me. A feel good watch on a day off. A pick me upper. This drama and Harry Potter movies are my safe haven. I wish I can forget about this drama and rewatch it anew each time.
- i wanted to go back to high school to experience friendship like theirs.
- main couple love story, i love. For some it might come off as childish because of su zaizai but if you actually watch closely you will appreciate their conversations. And for someone very closed off as ZLR, he needed someone who is persistent like SZZ. They have good communication even in High school. Seeing ZLR develop from no smile to tiny smile to an actual laugh is endearing and adorable to watch. It does not feel like a slow burn for me because even at the early episodes you can already see ZLR being interested at SZZ. The non conflict is also believable since they communicate well. I appreciate their loyalty to each other. I love ZLR’s speech in the end and that proposal, it was very intimate and very touching. I actually felt happy for them like I know them personally.
- second couple was fun, touching and GR’s loyalty is appreciated. Love their development from friends to lovers too!
- guan fang and his grandma they were very adorable. Their scenes touched my heart. Their conversation after the play was very heartfelt.
- ZLR parents very real in my experience.
- casting was great! acting was very believable. Knowing that they had to change some actors i can’t imagine watching someone else play their characters.
- i love the music/songs that they used. Summer Night by White Coast is my driving music.

I enjoyed this so much.

Healer

one of the best drama in chinese. It's a must watch . whenever I watch chinese drama I get lose interest to watch episode after 15 episodes. but this one doesn't let you down. When you will start watching this ,you will watch this drama till end ...

One of the best drama shows internationally. The chemistry between Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai is insanely good. The cinematography is beautiful and the story is super sweet. It follows the story of two highschool students who navigate life, studies, friendships and more.

Su Zaizai is incredibly cute! She's also very courageous, hardworking and perceptive. I love how she is very adorable and girly but knows exactly when to stand her ground. Not only is she bold is pursuing Lurang, she brings out a side of him that he never knew existed. And she's not just a dopey lovesick girl but someone who is determined and has self discipline too.

Lurang has my whole heart. He's super smart, shy and gentle. And he's friends with good people like Guran and Guan Fang! They are all incredibly chivalrous, charming and sweet. I loved the adorable bond between Guan Fang and his grandma. And Guran who silently treated Jia so well without ever boasting about it. Jia was a great friend to Zaizai who always supported her and stayed by her side. I loved that there was no unnecessary drama in the show and the conflicts and misunderstandings were quite quickly solved and cleared up instead of being dragged out for lazy plot-writing.

The friendships and the bonds between characters were incredibly refreshing to see. Zaizai's parents were also lovely and Lurang's were... realistic too. It's great to see healthy friendships with no jealousy and doting parents for once. The show was wrapped up nicely too and very entertaining throughout. I love how the main couple not only liked each other but constantly strived to be their best version to be more deserving of each other and never held back from loving honestly and earnestly. Again, the chemistry was SO good! 💯

hope this kind of relationship finds me

At first, I was hesitant to watch this because I’m not really into modern dramas. But since I had no idea what else to watch, I ended up giving it a try… and I absolutely loved it! Zhang Lurang is the ultimate green flag boyfriend—seriously, forever a favorite! Zhou Yiran fits the character perfectly, making viewers relive the sweet high school romance and bringing back nostalgic memories. I’d love to see Zhou Yiran in a colossal drama someday.

Highly recommended, especially for those looking to switch from Korean to Chinese dramas! Give this one a try!

My top list drama that i keep rewatch and hardly move on

I absolutely love the story of "When I Fly Towards You," where she falls in love first, but he falls harder. If you're a fan of high school dramas filled with sweet memories that unconsciously make you smile, this is the perfect drama for you (the best part : happy ending for all characters 💖)

It features a bubbly female lead who chases a cool and quiet male lead, solid friendships, and a world where no one is too cruel.

Admittedly, the first three episodes are a bit slow as they introduce all the characters, but hang in there because it becomes one of those unforgettable dramas that are hard to move on from after watching.

I can't get over Zai-Zai and Rang-Rang, but I truly love all five main characters. 💖 Whenever I feel bored with other dramas or need a comforting show to watch while eating, this drama is at the top of my list—I’ve rewatched it more than ten times! I seriously can't move on!

While watching, I never skip any part, not even the lovely second lead's love story. Nowadays, many dramas try to capture the same vibe, but none can keep you engaged from start to finish without feeling bored or encountering weird plots.

Deserving of all its hype and more

This drama gets a lot of hype, like a lot, and if you are anything like me, that can be quite nerve wracking. However, this drama lives up to the hype completely. This drama has everything you could ever hope for in a coming of age story, truly. A strong willed and confident female lead who stands up for herself, a male lead who is down BAD for her and protects her, no love triangles, strong and beautiful friendships, great comedy, incredible chemistry between the couples, and a happy ending. It’s perfect. I have watched it twice now and it was even better on second watch, somehow. If you are interested in watching this show, I really encourage you to do so. Personally, I recommend watching it on Netflix or the original network it aired on(YOUKU, I think) Viki cuts out some scenes however it’s nothing truly important, just some scenes towards the end that are super cute so you won’t actually miss anything important if you do watch on Viki. Anyway, this drama is wonderful and I would love if the cast reunited for a different drama because I would love to see them together again. 10/10 recommend.

A gentle, feel-good youth drama full of charm and warmth.

When I Fly Towards You is a sweet coming-of-age Chinese drama that captures the innocence of first love and the warmth of lasting friendships. Zhou Yiran and Zhang Miaoyi shine as Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai, delivering a romance that feels pure, natural, and heart-fluttering. With light humor, touching friendships, and nostalgic school vibes, it’s a comforting watch that leaves you smiling.

absolutely a master piece for innocent romance and frienship.

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.

The most youthful youth drama!

The best youth drama I have watched this year. Felt like I lived the high school life I always wanted through them. The scenes did not feel like cringe at all but showed how crushing on someone at that age looks so innocent and lovely. No unnecessary dramas and no dull moments. The love between them won my heart and got me kicking the air and dying of jealousy. However, I find the lines to be more powerful and even a simple line went really deep to my heart. A simple drama that I can't recommend

Apparently, seeing a guy for five seconds is true love now

I really should look at the tags more carefully and ran when “Female Chases Male First” popped up. The high rating blinded me and my friends’ suggestions swayed me into giving this one a try. After watching the first episode, I was ready to drop it, but I didn’t since I did like the FL in “Exclusive Fairytale.” But as the story progressed, the more I got pissed because it gave me a serious case of ISWAK vibes, and I seriously dislike people (not just females) who don’t have the dignity and follow a guy around just because you saw him for like five seconds and decide that he is your forever after.

On top of all that, I hate the disparity of a clueless, clingy female chasing an apparently good-looking, smart guy who thinks he’s too cool to be with regular folks. Dropped, as this ain’t for me.
