It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe.
*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)Title : When I Fly Towards You - 2023 (Complete 24 Episode)
Personal Rating : 7.5/10
It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe but still it’s a good, youthful, and full of positivity drama with a happy ending. 😅
It’s a classic high school youth drama which begins in high school and continues into adulthood. Su Zai Zai is a cute, talkative, and straight forward girl who falls for the genius, aloof and introvert Zhang Lu Rang. They fall in love and get married.
Honestly, I watched this drama because they have the same writer of Hidden Love. Personally, I didn’t enjoy it that much because I have high expectations from it.
There are lot of scenes that are cute and sweet but sometimes it’s too much for me that it makes me cringe specially when I hear the word “Rang-Rang”.
I like their friendship though, the heartwarming relationship between the grandma and Guan Fang and the 2nd couple because they have a nice story line. The 2nd couple have love - hate relationship and one-sided love which is so natural. I feel that the 1st couple story is cute, sweet but flat. The only problem they have is the pressure of ML’s mother. No second lead or jealousy to make things spice up.
Overall, it is not my cup of tea. It is a good drama – classic, but maybe because my preference has changed a lot that this one doesn’t suit me. I watched A Love So Beautiful which almost has the same plot of running after their crushes or first love, but ALSB didn’t make me cringe. And I made a mistake of watching the intros that it almost spills the whole story of the drama.
GENRE – Comedy, Romance, Youth

refreshing story
I haven’t watched a drama like this that was so good and refreshing and made me want more. There love story makes me feel overwhelmed with joy and love that I couldn’t get enough of it, especially now that it’s over. this drama will always have a special place in my heart because of the male and female lead. they were so uplifting for eachother and never doubted their love for eachother which made the drama even better. even though they had hardships their love never broke but made them value eachother even more. they are such a cute couple and will love this drama forever…❤️Was this review helpful to you?
a journey from childhood to adulthood
it is refreshing in terms of seeing new actors. I like the Camadiere between the friends and the support system they have for each other. the best moments for me is when su zaizai nags zhang lurang without stopping and he takes it so nicely. there is warmth and also a childlike chemistry between them. Gu ran and the second girl whom he likes is also engaging. Best for me is Guan Feng. His acting is superb. there is no nagging parent and till episode 19 no nagging third wheel. I hope such a character is not introduced and it will take away the sweetness of the drama. it can be continued as a journey of their university and the ups and downs they face together. looking forward for that.Was this review helpful to you?
Heartwarming & meaningful story about youth, love & friendship
This drama tells the story of five students and their journey from school to adulthood. The plot mostly focuses on the main leads however we do get separate episodes for the rest of the friendship group (the second couple and a guy friend). I did appreciate those episodes with the rest of the cast as it made me really connect with their friendship.Main couple is a slow burn romance, friends to lovers vibes. They are caring and supportive of each other, so a wonderful relationship that anyone would want in real life. Male lead is quiet, introverted, calm, and a green flag. He is a bit stand-offish at first but turns into a very caring guy. Female lead is sweet, kind-hearted, cheerful and less shy than the male lead but still timid.
Second couple is such a scene stealer, perhaps because I love enemies to lovers trope. They had all the angst, teasing, bickering and sweetness. I enjoyed them as much as the main couple.
POSITIVE:
- Lots of fluff and cutest school vibes
- Feel good vibes all the time
- The best portrayal of friendship
- No cliche plot lines
- Small misunderstandings that are solved in the same episode
- No love triangles
- No red flag males
- No annoying characters
- The most beautiful and sweetest happy ending
NEGATIVE:
- Dating starts at episode 19 for the main couple so it was quite slow for me. It made sense with the story but I just wanted a little more.
- There is no unnecessary drama and boring cliche storylines which was great BUT some episodes I needed a little more excitement.
OVERALL:
I highly recommend this drama to everyone that wants to watch something that makes you feel really good. The vibes are like eating sweet candy and receiving warm hugs. Even though most of the drama takes place in school it doesn't feel childish so anyone can watch it.

Sweet Love with Amazing Friendship
If you’re looking for a sweet romance and a great friend group that follows their youth to adulthood, this is a must watch!STORY: The story was amazing and I like how everyone was a green flag in the friend group. The communication and trust between the two main leads makes this an even more refreshing drama to enjoy!
ACTING/CASTING: I love all of the actors and casting. There were some actresses that really made me dislike there character so that just enforce how everyone is so good!
MUSIC: LOVE LOVE LOVE the music. The OST adds to the sweet and lovely moments!
REWATCH: I would definitely rewatch this when I miss the characters. This is going to stay as one of my favorite Chinese drama for a long time!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL C-DRAMA
I accidentally watched this drama because I saw Zhang Lurang in another drama haha. And on my tiktok,lots of videos are scattered about this drama.In the first place,I like seeing how Su Zaizau made Zhang Lurang like her.Then,in the middle of the episode I realized the power of their friendship.This drama made me think back to my high school days.It's not only about Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai's love, but also about great friendship.Of course,this drama is decorated a lot about their romance.I learned what true love is. How they strengthen each other. Ahh,I want to find my Zhang Lurang.This drama is also very related to my life.how our parents always compare us so that I feel inferior and have no trust.That feeling is still in me to this day.The difference is that I don't have a partner like Rang Rang and Zaizai.Anyway,I really thank this drama.I cried watching it of course with a happy smile.谢谢朗朗和再宰，再见.👋🏻❤️Was this review helpful to you?
If you want something heartwarming!
Well, once again I feel the need to write about a drama, and this one is just amazing. I heard about When I fly toward you on tik tok, I was intrigued because I saw communication (I know, something so simple), but that amazed me because I don't like miscommunication plots. But beyond that, the FL was just so bright, ever time the episode was ending, I was looking forward to her little words, that made such a nice touch, I felt like I was reading her mind, and became infatuated by. The ML was also a great choice, great character development. Side characters were also so well chosen. It's a great romance, if your are young you will want to live something like this, if you are an adult you will think that you wanted that relationship, nothing sad, just imagination! Recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
Warm, heart-fluttering romance with great side stories!
I watched this because I saw that it is the same author of Hidden Love which I LOVED. I wasn’t familiar with the actors of WIFTY so I was apprehensive.While there were a few tropes that seemed like it was swept under the carpet, it was still extremely lovable to watch. The actors did a great job, their budding love progressing to the strong love they had was well portrayed and didn’t feel out of the sudden.
Everything was so sweet, even when they were in high school. My favourite part of this all is that while the ML is smart and attractive and the FL is less so, it wasn’t like some other dramas where the ML falling for the FL was a ‘just because’. The drama really portrayed how FL’s 偏爱 (impartial love?) towards ML brought him out of his insecurities and trauma.
Everything was so, so lovable and adorable. Must watch if you loved Hidden Love like I did (although HL to me is still the best romcom I’ve watched in a long time)

The charm of youth
In all Asian countries, China has always been doing great in producing school-based and coming-of-age genres as a series. The transition from old school to the present years settled the firm foundation of making the audience nostalgic and reminisce about the beauty of their youthful days. The best factor that I’ve seen from these dramas is the perfect blend of romance and friendship as the major highlight of their stories. When I Fly Towards You is one of the best examples of a drama that caters to the fantastic era of young adults throughout their lives.I am super invested in this drama, especially during the time when all of them are still in the same school, where all of my favorite episodes come from. It is important for me as a viewer that all characters have their own spotlight to shine and this project provides me with it. All five of them have a story to tell and a path of journey to walk through with their own selves. They always made me cry with happiness every now and then.
It was almost a ten out of ten score for me not until they reached their university and adulthood age when I somehow felt less happy than the previous episodes. Yet, I still enjoyed the show and am grateful to see each of them fulfilling their dreams individually.
Rang Rang, Su Zai Zai, Guran, Jiang Jia, Guan Fang, and the rest of the characters in this show play a remarkable portrayal of their respective roles and they always have a special place in my heart. I love that they made me feel warm and joyful. To be able to look back once more on how beautiful the life of a youth is.

What should i say???...Just Grab some food and watch this
Man!! Have u ever thought of a drama which should include all of your bucket list of fantasies. Have u ever thought of a drama which don't have anything missing when the whole pieces are set. Boom!! this is it. It is the perfect example for the name heartwarming romance. Every time I watch a C Drama i used have some unanswered questions. unsatisfied emotions.. only some major dramas have made m e satisfied like Lovely us , and this one tops the list . The First thing that comes to my mind = That smile of the FL such a pure intent in it . it was enough to make her people forget anything bad.. and the ML did a good jobNow about the main plus points, CAST.. it was perfect.. the chemistry between the Main leads, It is just perfect. About the secondary couple it wavered a bit in the last episode but ends on a good note . This is like a food with everyone's favourite ingredients. Healthy mains relationship, No major misunderstandings, that confidence in the leads Especially the FL 's. some small misunderstandings with a cheesy endings to satisfy our sugar cravings . What not everything in your list is here made into a drama and presented write before you. u just have to watch it...common just go for it blindly ..u WILL demand for a season 2 ( infact I want a season 2) :)

High School Love Story ?
When I Fly Towards You is about 5 friends in high school choosing their careers for their bright future and falling in love. I absolutely loved this drama!! The cast and acting was incredible and something I really enjoyed watching. For those who are wondering the ending was a very happy ending as the couples deserved. The chemistry between the two couples is worth watching. Thank you so much to the people who made this drama happen.Was this review helpful to you?
