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!!

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.

Boring...It's just really boring and so-so.

I don't get why there are so many high reviews. But I also don't think I'm the target audience for this despite also being a teen.

I think this drama is just extremely slow-paced and boring. Even the parts that are supposed to be comedic feel like they go on for a bit too long, such as with line delivery or even editing, idk. Meet Yourself was also extremely slow-paced but I didn't struggle with the episodes at all like I have for this. I've fought sleep just to get through the first 2 episodes, and finally gave up at ep 3 XD

The ML is boring.

I get that he's supposed to have some kind of trauma from his overachieving younger brother, but he's not very inspirational or charismatic, and he's a ML formula I've seen countless times in other cdramas and reading other danmei. He's only desirable (and the show constantly repeats that to us) because he is handsome, gets good grades, and despite being a man of few words, the FL absolutely adores him and chases him down, so we must also like him and cheer them on, right? Her crush starts because she sees him in the rain at the convenience store right? I get that you're in high school, crushes start from silly things. But nothing about his cardboard personality is appealing.

Maybe she just likes handsome, boring guys. It's the same formula as A Love so beautiful and countless other dramas with a cold, perfect ML and a normal FL. Maybe he's not as perfect because of his younger brother, but how am I supposed to get there when the episodes leading up to that are SO BORING? Yawn. When will we ever get something new..??

The Second lead couple is more interesting.

I often mistook them as the actual First lead couple because the SML has more charisma and is more entertaining to watch, and so is the SFL. It's just that the Second Male leads acting wasn't that good consistently (sometimes I can tell too easily that he is acting, or conscious of himself or a camera while acting, other times I'm able to crack a smile), and it breaks the immersion, for comedy especially. He's trying his best but it doesn't come as naturally as say, more experienced supporting role performances from An Ge, or Yu Cheng En or Marcus Li in Go Go Squid).

For the whole drama I think I laughed like two or three times, but it was more of a chuckle XD Idk, his acting needs some more practice. He's young, and I felt awkwardness from his scenes with the SFL, also partly due to the SFL too, so that's why even though their story line is slightly better, I felt too aware of the camera/uncomfortable watching them.

Anyways, even if the acting was better, I don't think it would rescue the extremely boring and slow pace that was putting me to sleep. If you want to do a slow-paced, slice-of-life style drama, you can still do it without making my eyes glaze over. Meet Yourself is one such drama that is slow paced and slice-of-life, and I absolutely loved it.

I don't get why there are so many good reviews hailing this as an amazing show, I think it's really just regular, and maybe it has corrected some errors from dramas with the same formula. But I also think the rating might be inflated because Summer 2023's Cdramas so far have been...not so stellar to say the least.. A show that would normally get an 8.5 gets shot up to 9.0 because the other dramas this season were disappointing (aiya...)

I don't think this is a bad show at all tho, and I can see why some people might like it. I just don't think this is a groundbreaking show to warrant a 9.0 rating. Besides the vintage camera thing that they use for the FL's diary, I cannot see myself realistically sitting down for another 21 episodes of this stuff. This is one that just missed the mark, both with the comedic breaks that are supposed to break up the banality, and the acting.

At first while watching I'm not a fan of how 在在 was so bold and how she acted to impress 让让。but after quite awhile Im glad 5 of them became friends, very close friends and I wish to be like them too. I like how caring 让让 is. Glad they teach each other the weak subject which makes them closer and how Lin 老师 is 让让's 叔叔. If not maybe Lin 老师 wouldn't be as close as 在在 now. I was over the moon that 让让 confessed. Some parts maybe I was so angry at him because he told her to be quite but this drama is my top drama right now, sadly I didn't notice how gorgeous Zhou Yi ran is in his "falling into your smile"

I'm very happy that both 让让and在在 are loyal to each other. Love that both of their family members welcome them . This drama is very recommended, made me cry couple of times but made me jump many times due to the love of 让让 and 在在

Light hearted and comfort drama!!

my comfort drama of 2023!!!
there is literally so many heart-fluttering scenes that warm my heart!

zai zai and rang rang lives rent-free in my mind. i am literally squealing and kicking my legs in the air whenever they are together. despite many people saying about zaizai having a really annoying character, ngl sometimes i believe her actions were a bit overboard, but our drop-dead gorgeous rangrang made it all better.

their friend group is literally precious and perfect. its one that everyone would die for to get it.

i love evey single song of this drama. the songs fit the vibes and the scene of the drama making it an especially romantic and warmth feeling.

.

It is literally the best drama I have ever seen, the updates in the story are too good and how the protagonists fall in love seems too cute in general, but I think they should make a second season. I also love how each final chapter leaves a cute but funny message, and I think it's great how the series doesn't show toxic things or anything like that.

I need a second season in which the protagonist already has her daughter/son grown up and has her own story and grows up watching her parents sweetly fall in love.
