When I Fly Towards You

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.

This holds a special place in my heart

"The story began in the summer of 2012, but it will never end."

I've always been a fan of coming-of-age/school life stories because they make my heart ache with nostalgia from events that I've never experienced.

In the summer before starting high school, Su Zaizai sees someone walking slowly in the rain. She calls him an idiot for not walking faster, and maybe it was from this moment on that the wheels of fate began to turn. She got a glimpse of his face and fell in love at first sight. He remembered the face of the girl who randomly scolded him.

Zhang Lurang may look cold and aloof on the outside, but this is just a shell to hide his low self-esteem and lack of confidence. It was only through meeting Su Zaizai that, for the first time, he learned that someone could unapologetically love him just for being himself. It was her genuine warmth that thawed his frozen heart, and he began smiling more and more for her. They both wanted to improve for the other and become better versions of themselves.

I also love how Zhang Lurang wasn't portrayed as a top student who excelled in every subject and how Su Zaizai wasn't portrayed as someone who failed in every subject. This made them seem more human to me. She taught him English; He taught her maths and physics.

I loved all 5 of the characters in the main friend group and how even though they split up for university (well not all), they still remained good friends even after they've started working.

I liked the second couple a lot, but not as much as the first. Some other viewers prefer the second couple more because their relationship is more realistic. However, I still prefer Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang's relationship more because I'm someone who watches c-dramas to escape from real life - and their relationship was the perfect antidote for all my negative emotions. Although there were some misunderstandings sprinkled here and there, they weren't excessive and were quickly resolved.

Another aspect of this drama that I especially loved was how we got to see the clips Su Zaizai took with her camcorder at the end of each episode, it really makes me want to buy one too.

The only negative aspects of this drama for me were that:
- the ending was quite rushed; I would of preferred if we got more detail of their university and adult lives (especially as I binge-watched the second half of the drama within a day so their lives literally flew by so fast, I regret it so much TwT) + plus some of the side plots were skimmed over
- the awkward acting in some of the scenes e.g. some of Su Zaizai's smiles looked really fake and strained + the amount of times the actors cleared their throats whenever they were nervous was a bit unnecessary

I definitely preferred the first half of the story over the second half, because it was just teenagers having fun and doing dumb things together. It makes me wish for those kind an forever friends, where we run together on the beach and watch many sunrise and sunsets. Although the second half was good too, I'll definitely reminicise about the first half more fondly.

I teared up at the ending of the drama when they started playing the flashbacks because it made me fully realise just how long I was with the characters for: from teenage youth to university life to employment.

During the first couple of episodes, I only thought that this drama was cute and heartwarming and nothing more. But it's funny isn't it? How some stories can slowly etch themselves into our hearts without us even realising it. This story will stay with me for a long time.

I almost dropped it

I almost dropped it, I was persistent and kept watching because I was curious as to why it had a very high rating.
The vibe was nice, but it was not until they dropped the GR and JJ thing, that I was willing to keep watching. They were probably the ones that held the drama until the last 4-5 episodes.
Before that, there was no story, no plot, not real progress, just a bunch of random things happening in high school to a group of friends that was formed just because, and a cute girl wanting to be friends with a boy that didn't want anything to do with anyone.
Not early, just by the time GR realized his feelings towards JJ, they first showed the conflict every character was facing, and I could care more about the characters. Wish it could've been earlier in the series.
I guess viewers liked the vibes and the friendship. And I also liked that, but I think it could have been better plotted. It was not until they faced hardships together, that I believed their friendship was real.
Also, I hated how ZZ grew apart from her best friend because she liked RR.
As to GR and JJ, I liked them a lot!! I was so excited when their romantic story started, but sadly, it didn't live up to the expectations, the characters were not shown in most of the last episodes, so no progress, and then they rushed it in the last episode. If they wanted to give them screen time, they should have done something that was worth with it.
As to RR and ZZ, they were very cute, but I only enjoyed their romantic story in the last 4-5 episodes or so, they didn't have any progress during the whole series practically. I loved their couple phase, and how RR treats her (apart from the fact he is so handsome) they were a very cute couple. I liked that they grew up together. But during the school phase, it was literally watching an annoying girl insisting on building a friendship with a guy she found cute, and I didn't even know in the first episodes if RR was annoyed by her or not.
I also didn't like that ZZ didn't have any flaws or personal conflicts, almost everyone had. Which made the series more enjoyable and makes the audience empathize and care for the characters. Almost all of them found themselves, learnt things, but ZZ (I'm talking about her bc she's the protagonist) didn't go through any struggles, personal conflict, more than expecting RR wouldn't ask her to not talk to her any more.
I liked the vibes the drama gave, and I liked the couple tropes, but they failed to light the drama early + there was no real plot.

So, if you have patience, like school vibes, handsome ml and pretty fl, cute couple moments, and don't mind a plot-less drama, but a life of a couple from their school years to their adult phase. I think it can be a good choice.

Lovely

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this coming-of-age story. Unlike many other dramas in this genre, the teenage leads are written with a level of maturity and depth that is rare to see. There are no "childish" or grating characters here; instead, we get a grounded look at youth.
​The highlight for me was the genuine friendship between the group—it felt authentic and supportive rather than filled with unnecessary angst. To top it off, the romance between the main leads was absolutely adorable and built on a solid foundation. A well-deserved 10/10 for a drama that respects its characters and its audience!

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!
