Reviews

I don't know why but I gave me the feeling of my first dramas. A little bit of nostalgia even though It don't look like my first dramas.

I didn't expect anything coming from this drama, I didn't even read the synopsis to be honest. And I was happily surprised.

The tension, the yearning, the fear. Everything was great and made my heart beat.

I loved the two secondary couple (If I can call them like that). We didn't see much of them but they were always funny and cute.

Please Sand leave your man for me. I'm in love with her, she is one of the most beautiful women and funny.

I loved the Naga and Garuda, they were well made.

PS: I didn't expect see that much butt x)

A happy conclusion yet tragic

Characters:
For people not familiar with wuxia, the large cast is overwhelming but it's honestly one of the best parts of cdramas set in the jianghu. The numerous friends, mentors, loves you meet throughout the story are incredible. The ties between the previous generation and current generation in the jianghu add so much depth and meaning to this story, how the new generation will learn and correct the mistakes and injustices of the previous. I do have to say the large cast means they can kill off so many characters, the heartache of seeing one after another person die, even if its seeing their death in the past :((((

CPS the woman you are! She's so legendary, she's left her mark everywhere. Not even just her, the women of Luoying Valley. Absolutely iconic!

BRO I HATE THE FOUNDATION. WHY IS THERE NO SHADE MATCHING FOR ZHAO ZHAO, AND YOU CAN TELL THE FACE SHADE IS WHITER THAN THE NECK AND ARMS SO MANY TIMES. THE WHITEWASHING OF SKIN IS SO IRRITATING. SHE'S LITERALLY TRAVELING OUTDOORS ALL THE TIME SHE CAN BE TAN. Anyways. Moving on.

Story:
I think this story really hits on the never ending cycle of vengeance, the injustices that keep on occurring while following the status quo, and the dangers of prejudice. So often the characters are 死腦經 like can we use some critical thinking? But I think that was also the point. Everyone's so caught up in the prejudices and injustices of previous generations it just keeps going.

I would've liked a little more romance, but I also liked seeing the various storylines following all the side characters as well. ZZ and MQY were really cute. Lowkey MQY was toeing the line with how manipulative he was... but it was ok since ZZ could see through it every time and call him out for his BS and keep him in line. I so wish we got to see them traveling the jianghu after marriage.

Music:
清風醉 is such a nostalgic yet joyful song. Every time it plays, I see everyone together and happy, and yet seeing everyone together reminds me of all the people that have already left and the fleeting joy they had. Such a masterpiece of a song!

Overall, recommend for a watch! I don't understand the low rating, definitely an underrated drama.

Part 1 was better

Well these extra stories wasn't necessary. The part 1 was pretty good and the initial eps of these extra series should have been added to the part 1 at the end so it can be made in a full series. The story at the end about the reincarnation was thoughtful but the guessing of whom will die first and then naming the property to each other felt a bit over. Again acting was superb there's no doubt. Screenplay,cinetomagrapy was quite good too. One difference was that part 1 has all nature vibes and the villages and in extra there were all so modern amenities with city vibes,quite blending tho.

I think i have found my fav jdrama

Not a regular J-drama watcher and someone who actually struggles to get into and finish them, I am glad I gave this one a try.
It felt personal, and I rarely rewatch dramas, but I think this is the one I'd love to rewatch if I had time, and I'll recommend it to my friends too.

Children with special needs representation, handled subject matter and society taboo topics well, less forced physical intimacy, more relationship dynamics seen, no grooming typa age-gap(both were adults), great acting and nothing felt over-acted, struggling adulthood, importance of literacy, self-growth, more character depth, and every character took responsibilty of their actions at the end
I mostly watch kdramas and cdramas, so I always struggled with jdrama's pacing and the acting, but this one was very well written

So me giving a jdrama 9/10 IS a HIGH rating! I love it when dramas make me write episode-by-episode reviews, and I keep thinking about them even after finishing, and I did that in this drama
Only one point less because stalking is something that SHOULDN'T be taken lightly, it is DANGEROUS and should be dealt with accordingly. Secondly, in toxic relationships, it is best to walk away; don't waste more years. Thirdly, why jdramas always wrap up the "and they got together "part in the last 10-20 minutes of the last episode T_T At least give a separate episode for that haha .

A Soft, Genuine Love Story That Proves Simplicity Can Be Perfect

“When I Fly Towards You” is a full 10/10 for me, and honestly one of those rare dramas that feels effortlessly special from beginning to end.

What makes this drama stand out the most is how authentic and gentle it is. It captures young love in such a soft, sincere, and innocent way without ever feeling exaggerated or cringey. Instead of relying on dramatic twists, it focuses on how people slowly open up to each other, how trust is built over time, and how meaningful it is to be truly seen by someone at that age.

One of my absolute favorite things is that there isn’t really a big, dramatic subplot where everything falls apart. There’s no forced “something must go wrong” moment just to create tension. It stays consistent and grounded, which makes it feel so refreshing. You’re not constantly waiting for heartbreak or unnecessary conflict, you’re just watching their relationship grow naturally. Even when small challenges come up, they’re handled in a simple, mature way, so the story always keeps its warmth.

The romance itself is one of the purest I’ve seen, but what really makes it special is how it develops. Su Zaizai’s feelings start early, but they don’t feel shallow, it’s more like she’s drawn to him in a quiet, genuine way. From there, everything builds slowly and naturally. She’s open, warm, and expressive, while Zhang Lurang starts off more reserved and distant. Watching him gradually become more comfortable, more open, and more sure of himself because of her presence is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the drama.

What I love is that their relationship it’s in the small things: being there for each other, supporting each other, understanding each other without needing too many words. They don’t try to change each other, but they grow alongside each other in such a natural way. It feels steady, comforting, and real.

The cast truly made everything come alive. Every character felt natural and perfectly cast, and the chemistry, not just between the leads, but within the whole friend group, was incredible. Their friendships added so much warmth to the story, and it genuinely felt like watching real people grow up together. I laughed so much because their interactions were just so effortless and fun.

Another detail I absolutely loved was the storytelling format, especially the use of her virtual diary. It added such a personal touch, letting us see her thoughts and feelings in a way that made everything more intimate and meaningful.

The pacing was also done beautifully. Nothing felt rushed or dragged out, it just flowed naturally, letting each moment have its space.

Overall, this drama is comforting, nostalgic, and incredibly heartwarming. It shows how simple and beautiful love can be without needing unnecessary drama, and that’s what makes it so memorable. It leaves you with that soft, happy feeling long after it ends.

I loved everything! The story, the characters, the format, the humor, and especially the way the leads’ love grows so quietly but so deeply.

A perfect 10/10, without a doubt. 💫

Mature high school BL

I was hooked on this drama from the first episode, wich made it hard to wait each week for the new episode. I loved the mature side of this drama, though they are high schoolers, they deal with very adult problems. That made this drama stand out from other high school drama's.
I would have loved to see more of the lovey dovey moments after they became a couple, so i am hoping there will be either a special episode or a second season.
And i had a feeling that there was a potential relationship brewing between Mizuki and Jun, so i would love to see more about that. They are the best supporting friends ever!
Great visuals and good music.

And i loved the mains, they are so likable! The acting was very natural and i loved their dynamics and chemistry. The kisses weren't very special and i liked the first kiss better than the second one.

I will definatly rewatch this drama many times.
