FAV DRAMA OF ZHU YI AUTHOR.
DAMN. This drama is best school life drama I have ever seen. amazing friendship, romance, comedy, emotional and drama. I loved the chemistry of su Zai Zai and Zhang lurang. I love how FL chases ML till the end where he too falls for her. If you look for she fell first and he fell harder, THIS IS THE ONE. Go for it. This is one of first dramas who also focus on second lead with first lead. AHHHHH second lead was also too good. This is one of my favorite out of all Zhu Yi writers' drama.Was this review helpful to you?
When I Fly Towards You — A Tender Journey Through Youth
This drama is a gentle treasure, like stepping into a sunlit memory where youth comes alive. It beautifully captures the excitement of first love, the warmth of friendship, and the courage to chase dreams.From laughter in the classroom to sunrises and walks by the sea, every moment is sincere and full of heart. The cast makes you feel part of their world, and the music wraps the story in a soft glow.
More than anything, When I Fly Towards You is a reminder of how precious those fleeting years are a show I’ll cherish whenever I want to remember the beauty of growing up.

Waste of My Time and Boring
So I recently watched WIFTY cuz of all the hype and yung kai blue song and all I can say is how i wished to drop this drama and 2x + 10sec the 2nd half cuz of how boring and dragging it got, i think this was clearly not meant for me and the target demographic was teenage girls idk cuz this didnt hit any points for me at all.The fl was likeable at first but she got annoying later like gurl develop a some personality except for making ranran ur whole personality and lurang was just bearable watch too. Also women in cdrama idk why they act so childish just irks me off like NO, no women irl does this esp at workspace bfr. AND that couple video at ppt shown was so cringe like i am sorry no one reacts like that or cheers for u in a uni if ur couple video just randomly just starts playing off, the only thing u'r getting are side eyes and grumbles.
Then came the second leads who's relationship was dragged down to the core and done so poorly like wdym the ones that had some personality got only 2 ep of screentime as a couple and the ones who had been dating for like the past 18 episodes are still getting more screentime as a couple. Honestly i grew tired of watching the mls.
LASTLY, THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS DRAMA WAS GUAN FANG. HIS LORE WAS GOOD AND WAS AN ACTUAL INTERESTING CHARACTER FOR ME. PLUS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS GRANDMA WAS SO SWEET. AND I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR SOME KIND OF ROMANCE FOR HIM, LIKE YOU TELLING ME 6 YRS AFTER SCHOOL THEY STILL COULDNT GIVE A HINT OF HIS ROMANCE STARTING, AT LAST A 6 SEC CLIP AT THE END OF DRAMA COULD SUFFICE TOO BUT NO THE LEADS HAD TO GET EVEN THAT. HE WAS MY FAV CHARACTER AND I ENJOYED EVERY SEC OF HIS SCREENTIME.
ANYWAYS the drama was visually pleasing no lie and the friendship element was cute but for me personally this drama was 6/10 and thats too because of guan fang and a little bit of 2nd leads.

zhang miaoyi and Zhou Yiran should have another drama together!
I saw this drama on 2023 while it was still ongoing. At first i didn't want to watch it especially it has 24 eps and have 1h duration but i saw an edit where it was said that the male lead was the guy from "falling into your smile". It interest me cause yiran have a cute dimple. When i atch it i didn't expect to be obsessed with Miaoyi and her acting skills! She became my fav and know i'm waiting for every drama she stars in!! When I fly towards you is a very light, healthy, cute drama that is so clean and no unnecessary drama! i love how it's awkward in some time but it's perfect considering that its a high school drama! The musi are on point! Beautiful music, cast, and acting! I'm currently watching it for the nth time and i will always be grateful to those editor's who made edits of this drama!!!!Was this review helpful to you?

When Youth Finds Its Wings with Overloaded Cuteness
It is a heartwarming and nostalgic coming-of-age drama that perfectly captures the innocence and beauty of first love. Set in a high school filled with laughter, dreams, and bittersweet moments, it tells the story of Su Zai Zai a bright, bubbly girl who falls for the quiet and kind Zhang Lu Rang. Their story isn’t about grand gestures, but the gentle moments that make young love so memorable shared glances, silent support, and growing together through life’s uncertainties.With its soft cinematography, relatable characters, and genuine chemistry between the leads, the drama feels like a warm summer memory — simple yet unforgettable. It reminds us that sometimes love isn’t about chasing perfection but about finding someone who makes you feel at peace with who you are.
“When I Fly Towards You” is one of those rare youth romances that feels gentle, healing, and irresistibly sweet without ever becoming childish or cliché. It beautifully blends school-life innocence with genuine emotional depth, telling a story that feels refreshing from start to finish.
What makes this drama stand out is its authenticity. The love story grows naturally—no forced misunderstandings, no unnecessary angst—just two young people finding comfort, courage, and warmth in each other. The chemistry between the leads is soft yet powerful; every glance and smile feels meaningful. It reminds you of the kind of youthful affection that changes people quietly, profoundly, and permanently.

✔ The FL is bright, bubbly, and instantly lovable
✔ The friend group is supportive, wholesome, and full of heart
Together, they create a drama filled with warm laughter, heartfelt moments, and scenes that linger with you long after the final episode.
This is the type of show that doesn’t need dramatic twists—it wins your heart through sincerity, gentle storytelling, and the magic of youthful first love.
💖 Who Should Watch It

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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

one of the best cdrama I have ever watched
When I Fly Towards You is genuinely one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. It’s soft, comforting, and full of heart in the most natural way possible. The story captures youth, friendship, and first love with so much warmth and authenticity that it feels real rather than dramatic. Every character is lovable and well-written, and the relationships — especially the friendships — are what truly shine. The slow, gentle romance feels pure and meaningful, making every small moment count. This drama isn’t just about falling in love; it’s about growing up, chasing dreams, and cherishing memories. Watching it felt like reliving a beautiful, nostalgic chapter of life, and it stayed with me long after it ended.

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

Must Watch
If you like coming of age, YA type of romance - you will like this.A lot cdramas have a lot of fillers or just situations that keep going out of control and creating misunderstandings for no reason. This drama was such a breath of fresh air where there are characters who were more sorted than most adults are and they show a lot of maturity and understanding throughout the series.
It was cute and adorable without being annoying and most importantly, it doesn't make you want to fast forward. The are so many green flags in this show!!
