Cute fluffy, heartwarming drama.
If you finished a thriller/intense/ emotional drama, and want to watch something nice and cute, with not much load, lemme tell you, you've come to the right place. The best part is there is no scheming evil person.The story is pretty much simple (cliché), about a bunch of highschoolers, who fall in love and have their happily ever after.
I feel this drama has certain similarities with few others, so 'Disclaimer for this review' I might go ahead comparing bits and pieces with other dramas. Acting and cast were fine ( It was a pleasure watching Ai Jia (form 'Falling into your smile' ) (? lol, I still call him that). Coming to music, that one song in english that plays in the later half (i guess), its amazing.
Plot : I found it kinda similar to the plot of the drama 'a love so beautiful' , but i think this one was way much better. We have a cute and cheerful FL, who fell for the ML first (love at first sight). But unlike the FL of ' A love so beautiful', she's not entirely dumb. She's strong, i.e., she can fight her own battles, she's not entirely hopeless when it comes to academics (she had her strengths) , but she does try to act cute in front of her love interest. The ML on the other hand isn't someone who's the pefect (but unrealistic) human. He has his own weaknesses , and difficulties in life. The way each of them help each other grow mutually & ultimately fell in love, was truely amazing. At no point it felt fancy, it was very gradual and smooth transition. And wathing them was a pleasure.
Anothe comparison, that I've come across is between 'When I fly towards you' and ' Hidden love'. Both these dramas have a special place in my heart, and I loved them both. In my opinion, both of them are unique in their own way. Hidden love talks mostly about love. I'd call Romance as its biggest theme, which was a bit more mature in terms of life struggles, stuff like that. But that's not the case with 'When I fly towars you', as it has a plethora of themes like : school life, friendships, romance, which makes it different, in a beautiful way. (I'll still give Hidden love some bonus point for none other than the gorgeous couple CZY &Lusi.)
The portrayal of friendships in this drama , was just spectacular. I'm sure many had been reminded of their school days. It was just too good . Being majorly a school drama, a huge chunck of it had lots of plot lines relating to high school and it covered a vivid variety of issues. The five friends hanging out , having fun, probably gave all of us nostalgia. The best part was that the plot incuded their life as grown ups, again covering quite a few slice of life topics, which made it more realistic. The proposal was so freaking cute .
Everything, pretty much . I'd call this the CUTEST drama I've ever watched.

harus banget di coba!
awalnya maju mundur mau nonton karena baru aja selesai hidden love. ternyata waktu diterusin, lucu juga.cerita nya ringan, gak banyak konflik. hubungan ML & FL juga bagus. gak perlu muter2 karena salah paham blablabla. waktu ada masalah, mereka langsung ngomongin. dan itu emang penting dalam hubungan.
ost opening nya bagus! biasa sering ku lompati karena tmi bgt kan ya... udah kayak rangkuman drama itu sendiri. tp op drama ini terlalu enak buat di skip.
durasi episode singkat.
nah, ini kelebihan tp juga kekurangannya. lebih, karena gak perlu bertele-tele ceritanya. tapi kurang, karena 1 episode cuma sekitar 30 menitan...hiks.
kesimpulan, coba dulu tonton 3 episode. kalau belum juga cocok, ini emang bukan drama seleramu.

first love and beautiful growth
this drama was simple yet beautiful, sweet, realistic, relatable and swoon worthy. as i near my 30s, it was really lovely getting to watch a drama like this one. that made me think and reminisce about my own youth/school days. a wonderful depiction of what its like to fall in love for the first time. it was just an easy and enjoyable drama all together.i would recommend anyone to watch this, especially on a hot summer day like i did. no crazy, unnecessary drama/crazy characters. sit back, relax and enjoy something that makes you appreciate your own life/love experiences.

cliche, enjoyable, and best of all, unproblematic
Honestly, this is pretty much your run of the mill highschool and young love drama. It took me two tries to get past the initial first few episodes, but after that I coasted right through.There are a lot of things to love about this WIFTY. The main fl is cute, witty, and bright. She has a good heart, but she can stand up for herself and knows how to prevent others from walking all over her. It's a refreshing change from other cute fl characters who need the ml to stand of for them. Although the ml was always there, it was more out of support and encouragement rather than a need to save her. The main couple quietly yet openly supported each other throughout, effectively cutting off many overdone and tiring cliches used to create drama. Because of this, it was easy to watch. All the problems were faced together and solved quickly through the power of good ol' honesty and respect, and honestly, loved that.
There is a second couple that is just as cute and loveable, which you sometimes fail to see. Both were great in their own rights and fun to watch.
The friendships and relationships really shine here. Besides the romance, they tackle things like societal pressure, respect of others and self, growing pains, the meaning of friendships ,and how parental love effects their children. It was all portrayed well and easily digestible without being too frustrating.
Some parts did lose my interest, but not for lack of pacing. This type of highschool drama is either hit or miss for me, and this one sat on the high end of hit. I went into watching with this knowledge and came out pleasantly surprised and with fewer tears in my tearducts.
All in all, this is incredible sweet, meaty in the right places, and just stinkin gosh darn lovable. I would recommend watching if you're looking for something light to keep you in a good mood.

A beautiful, wholesome coming-of-age drama
I haven't finished watching this drama yet but I had to stop and just begin my review. This has been one of the most wholesome and sweet Cdramas I have ever watched. I loved the pure innocence of our 5 main leads and although I love the main couple so much, I love that it focuses on all 5 of them, with their own little story ARCs and their friendship. I'm excited to see them go onto the next stage of their lives, and honestly I'm getting sad that I'm approaching the end of this drama. It has been a wonderful watch and I've been smiling ear to ear for the most part of it. It also has only been 2 days and yet I'm about to finish it just because I didn't ever want to stop watching. I wish they had more episodes instead of just the short, 30 minute, 24 episodes that we get. I'm going to miss this little group of friends dearly and I think I'll find myself rewatching this drama quite a few times after I'm done.EDIT:
I finally finished the remaining episodes!!! OMG!! I'm squealing and I'm over the moon, this was such a beautiful, cute, and sweet little story. I loved seeing our wonderful ML slowly but surely open up episode after episode as our little sun persistently melted all that ice. I really enjoyed seeing their full journey, really my only complaint is that we didn't have more episodes of them in their college/adult life. I also adored our second couple, and I think it was just a shame that they got together so late in the drama. And of course, we can't forget about Guan Fang, our adorable, loveable 5th wheel. His care and dedication to his grandma was so nice to see. This was such a wholesome and heartwarming drama, I just finished it, yet I just want to be able to go back and watch it again for the first time.
Also fun fact: Falling Into Your Smile was probably my top Cdrama before this and I've rewatched that so many times already but it looks like When I Fly Towards You might take that top spot. It was a joy to watch the outgoing, dedicated Ai Jia turn into a shy, cold, introverted ML. Anyways, I think that's enough to be said about this drama. If you're on the fence, please watch it, I don't think you'll regret it! Bye for now!(:

Ser perseverante tiene sus recompensas!
Empezando por los protagonistas 10/10al igual con los secundarios, cada personaje está escrito a la perfección, cada uno cuenta con un desarrollo, poco a poco los vamos conociendo y la verdad es que te encariñas con el grupito de amigos, al punto que te hace querer unos amigos tan buenos como estos!
La historia avanza lento pero seguro, siempre hay un suceso nuevo para contar, realmente sientes que vas conociendo a cada protagonista mientras avanza la historia, se siente natural y nada forzado, me hizo recordar mi época del colegio, y me hizo sentir calidez, y querer volver a vivir esos tiempos de despreocupación, querer volver a divertirte sin pensar demás, a enamorarte y a soñar!
Los episodios 16, 17 me destrozaron el corazón. Mi hermoso niño Rang Rang, te merecías unos padres más cariñosos y comprensivos!
El final es perfecto para la historia.
Después de ver este drama vas a sentir que algo falta en tu vida, así que no te arrepientas de ser feliz, solo hay una vida, vivela haciendo las cosas bien, sé gentil como Rang Rang, sé cariñoso y feliz como Su Zai zai.

Evoked feel good emotions, so it was lovely to watch
A very good youth romance that evoked feel good emotions, so it was lovely to watch.Had light comedy which placed a smile on my face as well as some difficulties that brought on the tears.
A good story that wasn't too cheesy with every day life events taking place through out high school, college, internships, etc. The actors did really well in their respective roles and the love between main leads were believable.
Production and Visual FX as well as OST were great as well.
Rewatch : highly likely when I am in need of a feel good series.

about love, friendship, family
the drama is really good, it's so good I've watched it twice even though I haven't watched the drama for a long time. I think this is the only Chinese drama that I give 11/10, starting from the storyline, Zhang Lurang made me want to have a boyfriend when I was single. the story of their friendship is very fun to enjoy, throughout 24 episodes I always laugh with 5 different people. This drama is highly recommended for people who like to watch light dramas and don't drain their brains and emotions, at least they just want to have a partner as soon as possible hahahaVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Best modern youth Cdrama!
This will be my first review, this drama was so good I am compelled to write a review now ;)I want to keep this short.
Sweet, funny, light hearted, fluffy romcom with no stupid love triangles, silly misunderstandings or unwanted break ups. I watched the trailer here on MDL and was immediately hooked. When I started watching it, I couldn't stop and binged it in a day. Although the drama is kinda tropey, its well executed and avoids the heartache tropes.
I would highly recommend this drama to anyone looking for a light hearted romcom.

GREAT COMING-OF-AGE DRAMA
when i started watching this i didnt expect to get really hooked since i jist watched it because it was always on my fyp on tiktok but now that i have finished it i didnt regret watching it since its a feel-good cdrama!!! Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai relationship are now part of my favorite cdrama couples! Theire relationship is so secured and stress-free. They really scream LOYAL through out the entire show!!!! I also Guran and Jiangjia!! Though I wish a special episode for these two since we didnt get much of their relationship as a couple ?? All in all great drama and excellent OST as well but some of the music arent on spotify :<Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Sweet show, mostly feelgood
This is a really sweet show around growing up, friendship, family, and love.A bit slowpaced, without big conflicts or "villains", mostly feelgood.
There are some very heartwarming scenes, like between Guang Feng (?) and his grandma, and the small gestures from Rangrang showing us how he cares about her.
The ML's role is kind of similar to that in "You are desire" and the same of his friend (Gu Ran). I like both of their acting - suitable roles.
FL is very sweet, although I do find the female characters in Cdramas often to be a bit overly childish.
I can see myself recommending this as something to watch for a mum (/parents) and teenage (daughter) together.
