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.

I love this drama so much

I thought it would be an exaggerated one since the plot seems like that, but the way the cases focuses more on the personal lives of the ghosts is impressive for me the comedy is great too one of the things that I learned from this drama is to say what you want when you have the time because you will regret it later in your life ,some scenes made me cry too the one with Lee Gang Pung and lastly the case of Shin -I-Rang's father, Shin-Gi-Jung .The casting is great too it's my first time watching Esom in a drama and I'm amazed ,all the actors didn't disappoint

Sometimes we don’t need answers to all questions - the unknown is what’s scary.

Peaked in episode 2, when it was all about survival. Started to dig a hole to die in in episode 5, crossed the path to the afterlife in episode 8, just to have an unnecessary resurrection comeback with after credits scene. Some things should stay dead, and this drama is one of them.

I'm disappointed that I‘m disappointed. I loved the first four episodes when I knew nothing, the characters knew nothing, people were dying and almost dying and the fear of the unknown and unexplained was the horror of it all. But then they slowly started to explain the lore and the motivation of the ghosts and the supernatural and the origin of the app - it all became boring, leading to many illogical choices done by the characters. Making mistakes and making dumb decisions when you don’t know anything is passable. Making dumb decisions when you have a grasp of what is dumb and what is not is inexcusable.

And I’m not one to get annoyed by dumb characters in horror movies - this is literally the feature of the genre. If they were smart the plot would not happen. But there are limits to how dumb you can make the characters before it turns into comedy.

I found the truth of the app's origin underwhelming and ridiculous and not strong enough to have such a big impact in terms of supernatural consequences. Similarly they failed to give a proper motivation to one of the main antagonists of the drama - why were they doing what they were doing? Why does their reasoning change every few minutes? We all know - the plot needed it, so it happened.

Yoo Se A? One of the most boring characters in any horror. Matched with no personality Kim Geon U. They worked in their rom-com moments, I adored these, but anything outside of that was not quite delivered in terms of writing. I kept wishing they would switch the focus on literally any other character.

Preferably to Kang Ha Jun, Bang Ul and Haetsal - this is the trio I actually enjoyed the most. Do I want a second season? No. Do I want a spinoff of their supernatural investigations? Yes. Any scenes with these three were the best aspect of the whole plot and the show. They literally had the best dynamic and relationships. The skeptic that has a bad relationship with his sister who is a shaman, and her boyfriend that tries to make it all work.

And can we talk about Roh Jae Won as Bang Ul? The whole drama I more or less did not care about anyone’s safety, but his. The way Roh Jae Won was able to deliver solid comedy without breaking the tension of the horror - amazing performance.

What’s good? I guess the production. While the design of the ghosts and supernatural was not innovative at all and had that “catch a ghost” app vibe to it, it was delivered in a decent manner. The gore was good, the blood looked like blood and they did not shy from using a lot of it. What’s more, we did not see unreasonable fountains of blood from any wound that happened - yes, there was a lot, but in the realm of reality and possibility.

Overall, they overexplained it all. The best part of the horror genre is leaving some questions unanswered. With thrillers you want the mystery to be solved, with horrors you want to leave the ambiguity of explanation, because the unknown is what's scary.

The Best!

This drama is truly exceptional. The cast is perfectly chosen, and every actor delivers a powerful yet natural performance without any unnecessary melodrama. The storytelling is heartfelt and immersive, pulling you in from the very beginning. It takes you on a deeply nostalgic journey back to your childhood and teenage years, filled with warmth, emotions, and relatable moments. The direction, pacing, and soundtrack all come together beautifully to elevate the experience. It’s the kind of drama that stays with you long after it ends. Without a doubt, it’s the best K-drama I’ve ever watched.

amazing would watch again!

It was a series that I didn’t want to finish that probably sounds ridiculous but genuinely I didn’t want it to end knowing that it was gonna end was almost as sad as the episode episodes!

I loved all the cast. Everybody played their roles really well and I was so worried at the end that we weren’t gonna get a happier ever after for the main characters. It was cheesy. It was cute but mixed in with all the emotional strong cases and the storylines it was just such an easy comfort. Watch it just had everything without anything being too much.

Obviously, they were very emotional episodes based on the fact that it was ghosts who were murdered or mistreated et cetera but I think they were dealt with with such care and the storylines all made sense. There wasn’t just a random that doesn’t make sense why they did that sort of moment everything had a part to play and it was just so nice to watch!

I’m curious whether they’ll do like a season two. I feel like the bad lawyer son was staring very strangely in the office and then the fact that there was another new ghost? Could there be a new storyline maybe for a season two? I know K dramas don’t do a lot of season twos and I’m not saying a season two would be amazing but I think it would be interesting with these characters fun lighthearted mystery suspense tense emotional it’s just got the full mix!

A lightweight drama

Of all the "female general" themes where the woman disguises herself as a man, this isn't the best but it's also far from the worst. And the female actress did a pretty fantastic job in being believable in her different personality modes. The story itself is relatively straight-forward with a decent plot pace. You have a few tropes here and there with a doppelganger and situations that just happen to be placed perfectly with everyone happening to come across someone. But it's also a series that you aren't supposed to take too seriously and one to just enjoy for the characters and their interactions.

While it's slightly a little too heavy handed on the number of couples and their romances for me personally, it was still at least done in an acceptable way. It's also one of the few series where I really think the 2ML is a much better fit for the FL. There is some chemistry with the main ML and the FL but there was just so much more with the 2ML. Especially because he's far more capable and was also the only one who immediately appreciated her for herself unlike the main ML. So the few drops of tears that fell from the series were for the 2ML.

I think this is a good series to try if you're looking for a good balance of genres between politics, romance, humor, etc. There isn't anything that is done too heavy-handed and there aren't excessive melodramatic tragedies to sit through. Most of the actors did a really good job in bringing out their characters and while the series isn't one to be the most memorable, I still appreciated its entertainment.
