pleasant & slow paced turned into tedious & bland
Slow paced, easy going , low drama series that would have been better as a 16 episode drama . Issues get resolved quickly & I found myself smiling foolishly without realizing it. However, every time the female lead bared her teeth in her rabbity grimace of a smile, I wanted to look away. It was not endearing. I had hoped that it was affected and simply good acting, so the smile would evolve into a more mature lovely smile as the character aged; but, no it remained .There were some tedious episodes that I had no patience for. A hole episode about a sick grandmother. Touching, but boring. Episodes of college life with everyone fawning over leads, hoping to lure them away from each other were uninteresting for the most part.Life after college was not interesting either and they inserted a time skip of a year or more. I was wondering what the rating warning about sexual violence was about and it shows up around episode 22 , but it is a boss hitting on a female employee, which was creepy but not graphic. The second leads were very cute. The feel of the second half of the series was a bit bland, that it felt like they were rehashing things, replicating similar moments, just stretching the series out with mundane things that it was over without any wahoo. the proposal was bland & sedate, the wedding was a short montage , then there was there life after marriage. yawn. Cute is only cute for so long when it's in a fish bowl & the fish just go round & round !OST is something I don't usually rave about, but this soundtrack was spot on, it really matched well & I was impressed, especially with the Funky 60's beach boys-ish steel guitar song by Attic performance Paige Summer's 2021 . the first 1/2 of the drama has you feeling like you're dreamily floating down a lazy river on a sunny day, the second half looses the sweet buzz and is like standing in line at the fair, waiting for something to happenWas this review helpful to you?
Best Drama Ever
Love Love Love it. Not even kidding i have been watching dramas since 10 years way before dramas were famous but this is my no.1 favourite. I was not a fan of rewatch but this drama ufff i rewatched it for 7 times still not bored. This drama is my comfort drama , Main characters are so cute and not cringe. Female lead is funny , she makes me laugh not cringe. My rangrang is so handsome and cute in this drama i am unable to watch him with others. I want a boyfriend like rangrang. Ofcourse i relate to suzaizai. Both of them are my favourites no misunderstanding no love triangle no unnecessary drama everything is so perfect. Second leads are too good , their story has separate fanbase , I love how the makers handled side characters as well. Well everything is so good , please give it a try.Was this review helpful to you?

Great drama!!!
I really enjoyed this drama! I saw clips of it on TikTok and had to check it out, plus i was watching another drama at the same time with the same FL. My favorite part about this drama was not even the romance, it was the friend group (ESPECIALLY GU RAN). I really enjoy simple dramas with a good storyline and characters! Also i'm so happy they didn't kill off the grandma because I really enjoyed her character! The only thing that made me mad in this drama was RangRang's mother, smh - I dont know what is up with Chinese dramas and giving the male leads terrible moms. I wanted to come through the screen a couple of times , and I didn't like how we didn't really get a resolve with it , it got swept under the rug :(10/10 would recommend!

Pleasant series, but “nothing new under the sun”
Growing-up and puppy romance series, which begins in high school and continues into adulthood. The ML, a brilliant but lonely student with poor self-esteem (perpetual comparison with his more brilliant brother), arrives at a new high school and meets a warm and cheerful high school girl (the FL), whose unconditional love will soon bring him out, barely out of its shell.PROS:
+ Excellent ML (Zhou YiRan)
+ All the characters are nice (a little too much "cinnamon rolls") (ﾟヘﾟ)？
+ simple story, without villain or break-up
CONS:
- very very childish FL character, and the actress has a annoying voice.
- plot so classic that it is worn out.
=> Nice for a rainy weekend, but I don't think I'll rewatch it. ヾ(￣o￣;) NO､､､
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Série Grow-up et puppy romance, qui commence au lycée et se poursuit jusqu'à l'âge adulte. Le ML, élève brillant mais solitaire et avec une mauvaise estime de soi (comparaison perpétuelle avec son frère plus brillant), arrive dans un nouveau lycée et rencontre une lycéenne (la FL) chaleureuse et enjouée, dont l'amour inconditionnel va le sortir peu à peu de sa coquille.
PROS:
+ TB ML (Zhou YiRan)
+ Tous les personnages sont sympas (un peu "bizounours")
+ story simple, sans villain ni break-up
CONS:
- personnage de la FL très très puéril, et voix agaçante.
- plot tellement classique qu'il est usé.
=> Série agréable, mais "rien de nouveau sous le soleil" ヾ(￣o￣;) NO､､､

Confort Drama
This drama is not like those that contain many misunderstandings and breakups. This one makes people happy and want a love life like theirs. I think the story is pretty good, maybe just missing some spots because it's only 24 eps. The thing I liked the most about this drama is the characters. In other dramas I've watched, the leads are simply coworkers. Here, I really feel like they're friends in real life. The way Zhou Yiran and Zhang Miaoyi look at each other makes me want to melt. They have an excellent chemistry and I'm manifesting for them to have a 2nd drama together. If you don't like misunderstandings and messy breakups, this drama is for you.Was this review helpful to you?
Both ML are green flags and along with the secondary characters/best friends carry the series. ML’s character is better than the FL as is his acting.

My new comfort drama.
Loved everything about it. The fl is so good made me search up and watch everything she's in the ml too. The romance was so pure, the type that makes you giggle and blush. The hidden smiles and cute shyness of the ml really gave it that high school teen romance vibes and obviously our bold and bubbly fl who wouldn't fall for her . The second leads too were so good the banter was adorable. A great watch for anybody looking for a light hearted romance .Was this review helpful to you?

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.
