fresh and cute, a perfect youth drama!
i've never had any interests at all in watching c-dramas before watching this series, but after seeing clips of the series i decided to give it a go and let me tell you that i am not disappointed at all. i was already captivated at the first episode and it's a good sign. i love the personalities of each characters, the way the story progresses, and the music placement in the series. the romance is perfect, not too much but not too little. the director sure know how to make me squeal in happiness everytime i see a cute moment lolWas this review helpful to you?
This drama is just awesome.
"When I Fly Towards You" is a charming Chinese drama set in 2012, following cheerful transfer student Su Zai Zai and the aloof Zhang Lu Rang. The drama beautifully portrays a soft romance between the main leads and an unspoken yet dedicated bond between the secondary leads. I love the soft romance between the main leads and how the second main leads are dedicated to one another without confessing. That's great.Was this review helpful to you?
‘When I Fly Toward You’ Chinese drama is flying high for me.
‘When I Fly Towards You’ is a Chinese Drama about a young girl who has a mad crush on this boy. Why? No particular reason. Sometimes teen girls are just attracted to someone. He is very smart and in Advance Class. She is in average class. He runs, but she persists. Will she win? The drama is uncomplicated and delightful, a simple read. I love the chemistry between the male and female leads. Cuteness overload. ‘When I Fly Towards You’ is a Chinese Drama to add to your complicated list of dramas. Use it to decompress. The drama has 24 episodes at about 35 minutes each and is on Netflix. I am totally loving this Teen Crush School Life Drama. Like with the Chinese Drama ‘Hidden Love’, ‘When I Fly Towards You’ takes this relationship from teen years to adulthood. This is a very romance centered drama with a stellar posse of actors.More attention is being paid to the Chinese School Life Romance Drama Hidden Love and deservedly so. Nevertheless, ‘When I Fly Towards You’ is an excellent drama too. Great OST or original soundtrack and great posse of actors. ‘When I Fly Towards You’ has the vibe of the Korean Drama ‘King, The Land’ because of the truculent male and the smiley female, with a splash of the Chinese Drama Hidden Love which transverses time.
PS-The voice of the Male Lead is ever heavenly, resonating in the lower register. I could listen to this voice for days and never get tired. And by the time you get to the end, you will miss this drama Big Time.

The right person will find you at the right time.
Starting off from school setting and transitioning into adult life, this drama has made sure to keep our hearts warm with nostalgia. Somewhere during our school years, most of us yearned for a love story like Rang rang and Su Zai Zai. So this drama feels like an escape from reality for us where the things we wished for is seen in this drama. Why you should watch this drama:1. All the friends are green flags.
2. The friendship between the cast is adorable and feels like they found home in each other.
3. The chemsitry between leads is so good.
4. Introvert ML and extrovert FL trope is so well done. In most dramas, the ML is often shown as cold or arrogant instead of actually representing an introvert person. But in this drama, you can actually see how the ML is an intorvert who opened up after the FL pursued him and made him feel comfortable. So I really liked how well made his character was.
5. This might be the first cdrama where the 2nd leads love story isn't random or just for the sake of plot. It was actually really interesting and adorable to see them together. I was rooting for them since the first few episodes.
6. There is healthy relationship between the leads where they communicate properly instead of giving cold shoulder to each other. They always understnd each other and support each other unconditionally.
7. This is a really light and fluffy drama where there are no heavy scenes. Just pure love and happiness.
8. The nostalgic feeling of school life is so strong.
To anyone hesitating to watch this drama, please don't hesitate and go for it. This is the type of drama that you need in a stressful life. The type of drama that makes you feel good about life and an escape from reality. So just dive into this drama and enjoy the journey of two people who are the representation of right person at the right time.

He needed her, and she needed him. ?
As someone who doesn't really like school drama's, I prefer mature romance. Though I have seen a few, they're not my go too. I was very reluctant to watch this, but i figured after watching Hidden Love, (which I wanted to watch since i knew the manhua would become a tv series). I figured its the best time to watch this school drama... so i hope my review helps those who may not be so interested in school shows. When I first started this, after the 2nd episode i wasnt sure if i should drop this, not because it wasn't going well thus far, its precisely because of not watching much drama in this genre, but because i already decided to watch it, i didn't read much comments and i didnt read any reviews, i went in blindly solely because i had planned to watch it, and the ratings was pretty high for a school drama... so i wanted to give it a chance 😄 and well!!!!!!!!....................This was simply amazing!!!... Everytime i think something cliché was gonna happen, instead it just exceeded my expectations. It's the first I thought a show deserves 11/10 🤭.
I've watched hundreds of shows and just a tiny few make me feel content after watching, but this show... i feel soooo happy, content and satisfied after watching this 😌☺️ ......................... yet, somehow I just wanna rewatch it right away haha 😄 😂
I give 9 for music, because since it started from 2012 through the music i can feel so much nostalgia, it wasn't something amazingly great, but all the songs fit the show very well.
What I loved about this show was that It was great having a FL be enthusiastic and foward without coming off as annoying, or (dumb, the acting felt so natural from the FL, i thought she was adorable 😄. It was also really great having a ML who was aloof without being a mean jerk 😅. Even the side chracters are so likeable and you enjoy there stories too.
I enjoyed the progress of the love story, from acquaintance, to classmates, then lovers. The timing for everything was well put together, even if it may not feel that way after you're hakfway through, just know it comes together so well and nothing, absolutely nothing was rushed. It was also really great seeing the interactions with the main couple from school until the end, they just fit so well together. The frienship was soooo amazingly beautiful, like it made me feel sooo nostalgic, i felt like i wanted to go back to school to make friends like that 😄
But most of all, I really enjoyed seeing how the FL with a beautiful personality and genuine care and love became a bulldozer and broke down the ML walls. I also loved how the ML made the FL wanna always try her best and be herself. He needed her and she needed him!. Whether in academic or in love.... they were truly what i call soul mates!!!!

IT'S A 10 A 10 A 10 A TEN!!
It's a such a wholesome drama. like it's soooo good. I loved every aspect of this drama, the story, the music, the cast, the cinematography, the screenplay, EVERYTHING. It has a great insight on growing up and it's really heartwarming. The story felt very real. And I loved how natural it was. It felt soo nice to watch them grow up and change buty still love each other the same without having any misunderstandings and fights. The music was mind blowingly amazing! The acting too was fabulous! And the cast had great chemistry! Truly truly enjoyed watching this drama! Never been a fan of high school draams or coming of age dramas but I think this was it. This drama was ULTIMATE! I might watch more coming of age dramas just because of this drama. And I must say I would 100% def watch this drama all over again. It was sooooooo good omg I cannot emphasise this enough. IT WAS SOO GOOD. Overall, just go watch it already. 🏫👦🏻👧🏻👦🏻👧🏻👦🏻💫✈️🧑🏻🔧🇬🇧👩🏻🎓🏥🧑🏻⚕️📰👩🏻💼🏫🤵🏻Was this review helpful to you?
Smooth, perfect, easy going drama!
This will be my most favourite CDrama of all times I think for now. Personally don’t really like CDramas a lot cause you know there are so many cliches that go into them like childhood friends, accidental kisses etc. and then the thing that would annoy me was the second leads acting, (honestly just my opinion) it would be so over that at a point I would prefer stopping that drama. BUT came this drama!!!!!! I don’t know why honestly but I really loved this drama!! The second leads are also so faaarrr better. Although I know few might feel a little bit unrealistic but me preferably watch dramas to escape reality, so for me it was a 10/10 drama. Also what made it more watchable was that the ML was not a rich guy, not a guy with good grades, not a guy with perfect personality like they usually show it. It was really nice to see how he was also imperfect and how she was also imperfect! My favourite part was how the character of ML develops in such a soft way!!! I really liked how he was all so sweet and girly in front of her after they started dating! The small things he did for her, the way she always showed how she liked him but never really admitted it. And not to miss his proposal!!!! Both the times, when they started dating and he proposed to get married was the sweetest!! It started with the vlogs and ended with one it…you know when they started dating i was thinking how this relationship will move forward. Cause we knew how introverted the guy was, but ig it was from the starting that she had made him so comfortable with her that it was soooooo good to see him in the relationship!!!Honestly after watching this drama I don’t wanna be single anymore😭.
don’t mind my reviews, they are a little rusty cause this is the first time i am writing one!

A MUST WATCH !
Wow. I don't even know where to start with this, 'When I Fly Towards You' changed my summer of 2023 in the best way possible. The chemistry between RR and ZZ was simply unmatched. I haven't smiled for a couple like I smiled for them in a very long time. The way that they stand by each other's side and always support each other NO MATTER what is something so refreshing to see, communicating their problems and resolving their few misunderstandings quickly. It's all down to the trust they have in each other and it's so beautiful. The scriptwriters and the director have done an unbelievable job in making us feel for ZZ and RR. I almost felt like I was their friend and built a connection with them. All five of them are characters that I'll miss, unique in their own ways but come together to form unmatched friendships. WIFTY made me feel warm and cozy inside, the characters gave me a sense of comfort when I saw them on my screen. The high school friendships, keeping in touch with each other after graduating, seeing the five of them grow together was so beautiful. I will miss seeing the five of them together, laughing, smiling, crying and cracking jokes. The actors portrayed their roles so well and I promise you will not regret giving WIFTY a watch. I will 100% be rewatching this beautifully made drama.Was this review helpful to you?
im cryin
my healing drama omg, at first the eps are a bit boring though. around 3-5 it picked up .. i think its mainly because i didnt know if there was going to be any misunderstanding or clichee. I have cdrama/kdrama trauma.. i kept thinking something was gonna happenwhats crazy that i think is crazy is realizing zhang lurang is the bare minimum .. a caring, attentive .. etc is bare minimum .. especially with the communication and both sides believing in each other?? THAT IS ALL NORMAL GUYS. this drama has opened my eyes alot. i love this drama its healed me alot. i miss my friends hah

IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUTH
This a perfect drama for me .I enjoyed everything about it. It reminds me of my youthful day. I love every character in it and their prospective. The friendship between the friends till the last was amazed me . I am going to remember it for the very long time.Personally,
It teaches me if you love someone just be brave. Let him/her know your feelings. So that you could be loved by someone. It gives me lots of courage.
It's a very good drama about youth, friendship. You are gonna love it.

A feel good innocent romance and coming of age drama made full of heart and care
PROS:-Effective cinematography and shooting styles, I also love how the changing four seasons is shown throughout. The accompanying OST are wonderful too.
-Beautiful lines and quotes, among my top favourites:
Ep1: The rainy day that disappeared, I really want to get sprinkled again
Ep 5: If time can be suspended, I hope they will always be my good friends, the kind that never leave
-Green flag characters; the main characters in this show have positive outlooks and actions in their life
-Female lead Su Zaizai is one of the female lead with most positive attributes in Cdramaland - bold, cute, kind, chivalrous, brave, able to stand up for her rights and help others in need, and more mature than what her energetic personality suggests. Her sunny disposition rubs others in a heartwarming way(including the viewers such as me).
-Male lead Zhang Lurang is an introvert but unlike negative introvert characters in the past, he's reactive to Su Zaizai's advancements, it's a two way arrow. His little smiles which keep growing by the finale is adorable to watch.
-The 'squad' of 5 is adorable, their friendship gives off a special feel to adults like me, something that I may once feel back then in my schoolyears but get lost in time as time goes by and adulthood takes over. One of the most effective friendship scene where I shed my tears is when Su Zaizai found the rest rummaging the trash to help her. Great shots, great emotions felt without much dialogues or exaggerated emotional outputs.
-There are not much about the family members, but they are nicely depicted to show how Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang grow into their sunny vs introvert characters. Other than that, Guan Fang's grandma has some of the subtly emotional scenes of the drama, and I also feel for Zhang Luli. His talk with Su Zaizai tugs at my heart.
-There is no prolonged third parties or major incidents in the storyline, most issues got resolved within 1 or 2 episodes.
-24 episodes at 30-min runtime is just nice, the pacing is comfortable for a leisure binge or daily watch
CONS:
-The female lead might feel too shamelessly into the male lead in the first few episodes (it gets better as male leads reaction gets more obvious and more of female lead's positive personality shown from episode 5+)
-Storyline is generic and lack of dramatic twists and turns in the plot, it's a flat slice of life drama about some kids growing up into adults, full of youth romance tropes
-The romance is innocent, even their kisses at the end feel innocent though sweet, there are no steamy romance and intense sexual pleasure
-There is not much details towards some other characters and sub lines in the end, such as Zhang Lurang's parents
-Their daily school-college-work life feel too idealistic and gave off a dreamy vibe, lack of touch with realism
OVERALL:
It's a story of a little sun and a sunflower finding and 'flying' towards each other. Must watch if you like coming of age genre with an innocent, pure young romance done exceptionally well. One of the best in this genre. Stay far far away if you want intense romance, dramatic issues, dark characters, tragic events, harsh reality...

Sweet and cute drama
So i bumped into this drama when i had just finished watching hidden love. I had zero expectations, wheb i started watching i was like it must same high school first love kind drama. But drama was way too good. No love triangles, it did not feel like it was stretched to make it into 24 episodes or i did not feel bored while watching. I wont give spoilers, just my honest recommendation to watch this refreshing drama. The love between main lead couple and even second lead couple was cute. There were scenes i was thinking why cannot i find this kind of guy/ boyfriend. I was definitely jealous. Beautiful drama the most favorite thing of mine was end of the episode where Female Lead would read simple and nice lines. The vlog was so cute hush im jealous.Was this review helpful to you?
