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.

Um dos melhores de 2023 para mim

Completamente adorável, no melhor sentido possível.

A China nos presenteou novamente com o que ela sabe fazer melhor no mundo dos dramas: dramas juvenis! Não tem jeito, os mais bem feitos dramas juvenis asiáticos SÃO cdramas, e com “When i fly towards you” não foi diferente.

Antes de tudo, algo FINALMENTE aconteceu: temos um casal que NÃO começa se odiando e se desenvolve normalmente como amigos até, finalmente, se tornarem namorados.

Queria começar dizendo que o segredo nesse drama é a simplicidade e o realismo que ele tem. Adolescentes sendo adolescentes, se preocupando com vestibular, saindo, se divertindo, sem triângulos amorosos bobos, sem second female ou second leads sendo chatos e sem noção, com todos descobrindo o amor no seu tempo e trabalhando nisso como deve ser. Teve aquele exagero dos pais falando sobre namorar e blá, blá. Blá? Teve, né? Não esperava menos de um cdrama, já que parece que eles são bem restritivos em alguns casos, então eu entendo essa parte. No final das contas, acho que tudo teve sua época certa.

Não sei dizer o quanto eu gostei dessa turma de amigos, e o quanto eu AMEI que cada um teve seu destaque, seu momento e sua chance de brilhar. O amor dos protagonistas é a coisa mais lindo do mundo, amei como eles superaram as coisas juntos e nunca se separaram, pelo contrário. Química incrível entre os atores principais e mais ainda com os secundários, que brilharam – inclusive China, por favor, nos dê um drama com o casal secundário.

É difícil explicar o porquê eu amei tanto, acho que foi a nostalgia do meu próprio ensino médio junto com uma história que realmente se aproxima da realidade e me fez sentir como se eu pudesse facilmente viver aquilo. Não sei, tudo me conquistou. Vou sentir falta demais deles, de verdade.

PS: Muita gente linda nesse cast, inclusive os secundários

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.
