It's ok

To be honest, i don't know what i was expecting, but i didn't feel hooked with this one.

I really like the main actors, and i enjoyed their previous dramas - at least the ones i watched -, but i don't think that the history was strong enough to to sustain their chemistry.

It is not the convinients and the clichés, those things don't bother me - actually i love them - i think it was the excessive slow burn that, in the end at the day, didn't burned anything. lol.

at one point things were just... boring? even the side couples were boring. poor FL's male best friend, he's really sweet and her best friend were just so childish all the time and never knew what she wanted.
the sister, omg, what a annoying character... and, yes, the ML's best friend is also annoying lol.

in general, i think there was a lack of content in everything. from the characters' personalities, through the plots to the end.

everything was just so superficial that the one thing i really enjoyed was the health and natural relationship with the mc's, even though i caught myself missing more spontaneity in acting of both of them

still better than "sweet cold" though, lol

my comfort drama FR

This is a drama that I've already watched about 3 times - or more, idk - and I'll probably keep watching whenever i have an opportunity. Some people compare "To Fly With You" with "Skate Into love", but in my opinion, there's no room for comparison, cause To Fly With You is much better.

The pros:

1) Well-constructed romance: unlike many drama couples that I see out there, in this one the two develop as "enemies", friends, best friends and only LATER, boyfriends. It is obvious that the ML is in love with her from the beginning, but their relationship is very well developed, so much so that they go through a lot together until they officially become a couple. That's why I love seeing these two together, cuz more than a couple, they are real partners

2) The evolution of the main character in sport: it is very interesting to follow how pp goes from an amateur athlete to a professional one

3) The secondary characters: I'm suspicious, but I loved all the secondary characters, especially the best friends. I really love de second couple.

4) There is no break up: thank goodness, but there is no end here, the two of them resolve themselves by talking

5) Chemistry between the actors: the dynamic between the main actors is very nice, it was super natural and pleasant to watch

Cons:

1) Caricatured "Villains": it is a juvenil drama, i wasn't expecting too much, tbh

2) Weird trainer: This, by far, was the aspect that bothered me the most. An older man - probably in his early 30s or something - subtly hitting on a girl who just TURNED 18. Throughout the drama, I felt annoyed with him pretending he had no hidden agenda when he paid special attention to FL. In my opinion, the male lead was absolutely right when he asked "What right do you have to talk about me and her? You are a stranger".

3) I missed having a more "adult" side to the main characters' relationship a little bit, but I understand why there wasn't, it's not necessarily something that i needed to survive or something (lol), I'd just like to see how the actors would do.

Anyway, this is my review. I love this cdrama and I think it is a comfort in every way.

I only watched it for FL and her story

I gotta be honest: i was expecting more.

as I said in the review's title, i only watched it for the FL's story.

for me, personally, i was interested to watch a single mom's story.

i was excited to see her rebuilding her life, overcoming things and growing up as a woman and a person.

and, yes, that was exaclty what i received, but if the drama were only focused on her and not on so many boring side characters, it would have been better.

i didn't like the other two FC, and i'm sad to say that, cuz I'm always interested in stories about women and told by women, but this time it didn't work me.

overall, i wasn't surprised by the fact we didn't get a kiss and no romantic scenes at all. sadly, the chemistry between the main actors was wasted. would be interessing finally seeing the FL having fun and being loved — even though she were loved by the ML throughout the series, since he really care so much about her — at one point i was so sick to see her suffering, and not having, at least, any good thing in her life

maybe, if the drama had fewer episodes, maybe 10 less, it would be more interesting and enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed the acting, but i felt no "passion" between the lead actors.

the "debt story" was resolved very quickly, after all the drama.

the husband's character is just...boring, there was no need for him to be back, they could just kill him that was enough for me.

despite the negative points - for me, ofc -, the drama brought good discussions and real questions about love being much more than just loving and sex, it's about companionship, patience, giving and reciving, understanding and empathy.

FL is an incredible woman, she was admirable the whole time, and as I said, she was the only character that made me want to continue watching.
