Cuando Vuelo Hacia Ti (2023)

A MUST WATCH !

Wow. I don't even know where to start with this, 'When I Fly Towards You' changed my summer of 2023 in the best way possible. The chemistry between RR and ZZ was simply unmatched. I haven't smiled for a couple like I smiled for them in a very long time. The way that they stand by each other's side and always support each other NO MATTER what is something so refreshing to see, communicating their problems and resolving their few misunderstandings quickly. It's all down to the trust they have in each other and it's so beautiful. The scriptwriters and the director have done an unbelievable job in making us feel for ZZ and RR. I almost felt like I was their friend and built a connection with them. All five of them are characters that I'll miss, unique in their own ways but come together to form unmatched friendships. WIFTY made me feel warm and cozy inside, the characters gave me a sense of comfort when I saw them on my screen. The high school friendships, keeping in touch with each other after graduating, seeing the five of them grow together was so beautiful. I will miss seeing the five of them together, laughing, smiling, crying and cracking jokes. The actors portrayed their roles so well and I promise you will not regret giving WIFTY a watch. I will 100% be rewatching this beautifully made drama.

im cryin

my healing drama omg, at first the eps are a bit boring though. around 3-5 it picked up .. i think its mainly because i didnt know if there was going to be any misunderstanding or clichee. I have cdrama/kdrama trauma.. i kept thinking something was gonna happen

whats crazy that i think is crazy is realizing zhang lurang is the bare minimum .. a caring, attentive .. etc is bare minimum .. especially with the communication and both sides believing in each other?? THAT IS ALL NORMAL GUYS. this drama has opened my eyes alot. i love this drama its healed me alot. i miss my friends hah

Sweet and cute drama

So i bumped into this drama when i had just finished watching hidden love. I had zero expectations, wheb i started watching i was like it must same high school first love kind drama. But drama was way too good. No love triangles, it did not feel like it was stretched to make it into 24 episodes or i did not feel bored while watching. I wont give spoilers, just my honest recommendation to watch this refreshing drama. The love between main lead couple and even second lead couple was cute. There were scenes i was thinking why cannot i find this kind of guy/ boyfriend. I was definitely jealous. Beautiful drama the most favorite thing of mine was end of the episode where Female Lead would read simple and nice lines. The vlog was so cute hush im jealous.

Highly recommended series for you to watch.

I usually don't like slow-burn romance but this is the only exception because they didn't make it seem slow, it's just at the right pace, not too slow nor fast. Personally, I wouldn't say I like love triangle so if u don't like lv triangle too this is one of the best series for you to watch. There are no unnecessary dramas here and it's very wholesome to watch, I actually caught myself smiling, grinning, and kicking airs since they are so cute lol. Their friendship is also very cute, funny, and very positive. Ost is also good, I love their opening song too. Acting is also good. Not cringy. Of all C-dramas I watched, this is one of my best C-drama series so far.

When cliches are done right !

yes! while watching this drama you might feel, wait I have seen this scene before and this too but that didn't change the fact just how much I am enjoying this drama.
This drama emits quite similar vibes to a river runs through it , lovely us , when we were young (2018) , don't disturb my studies but but but its so much cuter ...

What I liked?
1) FEMALE LEAD ( who chases after the male lead first )
Usually, you just kind of expect an annoying girl with no damn self-respect who just knows how to act cute (in a cringy way ) but here is why SZZ breaks the mold, yes she does kinda tries too hard to act cute but she has got brains. She stands up for herself (for example changing the dialogue when she is preparing for the Cinderella play ). She knows her worth.

2) NO TOXICITY
If you think that the cold male lead is gonna treat the female lead like trash, then nope. He is just a cute but awkwardly shy guy and loves SZZ as much as she loves him

3) MULTIDIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS + Nostalgia
Everyone has a backstory that is super close to reality so kudos to that. I really liked the idea of a vintage videocam :)) and I love Grandma !!

4) SECOND LEAD COUPLE
They are so cute, as if oh you wanted a dash of unrequited love in the story, we present you the cutest 2nd leads. I think they were given as much screen space to grow as the leads. Maybe even they overshadowed the main couple sometime.

what I disliked? IDK YET maybe I will write after finishing the drama

VERY unpopular opinion here...

Don't hate on me, and please remember that reviews are just the opinions of the reviewers. This reminded me of A Love So Beautiful, which I didn't care for either. I was so looking forward to watching this, based on all the glowing reviews. Part of the problem might have been that I watched this right after Hidden Love and enjoying it so much. Maybe it just couldn't live up to my expectations. I was looking forward to this drama because it was supposedly low angst, and I was drawn to that. That being said -

WHAT I LIKED:
-It was, in fact, low angst
-the storyline of the second couple. I loved how he liked her alone and was always trying to help her in whatever way he could, even though his heart was breaking because she didn't like him.
-no stupid misunderstandings
-when the typical storyline started of a female trying to get the ML showed up, I LOVED how the FL shut that down. She knew her man, had faith in him, and went straight to the woman to resolve the issue.
-a wedding. Though, for me, it didn't work here, I always appreciate a wedding after watching a couple get together.
-ML and his dimples

THE THINGS THAT DISAPPOINTED ME
-FL. Supposedly cute and bubbly, she came across as a stalker (she was sure she liked him after seeing him once, and never tired of telling him that she liked him) and immature. The actress was cute as a button, but between her voice, her mannerisms, her clothes, and her bouncing around all the time, she just reminded me of a hyperactive puppy. Plus, her way of talking was very fast and staccato, like she was blurting out phrases, one after another.
-her calling him "Rang Rang" all the time. It was cute at the beginning, but by episode three I was ready to make a drinking game out of it - hear her say Rang Rang, take a drink!
-why did the ML like her? When did he start liking her? I get that he probably appreciated her energy compared to how repressed he seemed to be, but I didn't see or feel the attraction between them.
-I admit that I wanted low angst, but I also wanted something to move the story along. There really wasn't anything going on. I felt like I was watching a documentary of the life of a teen in China. I was bored.
-the parents fawning all over him was somewhat cute, but I can't believe they would have been fine with their daughter living with a man before they got married.

In conclusion, if you are still reading this, I'd say if you want something mindless to watch that doesn't have a lot of the typical tropes, you might enjoy this. It just didn't have enough going on for me.

‘When I Fly Toward You’ Chinese drama is flying high for me.

‘When I Fly Towards You’ is a Chinese Drama about a young girl who has a mad crush on this boy. Why? No particular reason. Sometimes teen girls are just attracted to someone. He is very smart and in Advance Class. She is in average class. He runs, but she persists. Will she win? The drama is uncomplicated and delightful, a simple read. I love the chemistry between the male and female leads. Cuteness overload. ‘When I Fly Towards You’ is a Chinese Drama to add to your complicated list of dramas. Use it to decompress. The drama has 24 episodes at about 35 minutes each and is on Netflix. I am totally loving this Teen Crush School Life Drama. Like with the Chinese Drama ‘Hidden Love’, ‘When I Fly Towards You’ takes this relationship from teen years to adulthood. This is a very romance centered drama with a stellar posse of actors.

More attention is being paid to the Chinese School Life Romance Drama Hidden Love and deservedly so. Nevertheless, ‘When I Fly Towards You’ is an excellent drama too. Great OST or original soundtrack and great posse of actors. ‘When I Fly Towards You’ has the vibe of the Korean Drama ‘King, The Land’ because of the truculent male and the smiley female, with a splash of the Chinese Drama Hidden Love which transverses time.

PS-The voice of the Male Lead is ever heavenly, resonating in the lower register. I could listen to this voice for days and never get tired. And by the time you get to the end, you will miss this drama Big Time.

Korea should take notes

This Drama was sheer perfection. EVERYTHING was right about it: The tone, the length, the story arcs, the character development, the music - everything.

The perfection of tone and length were closely related. Because the Drama was a perfect length, just 14 hours total runtime, the tone stayed sweet and positive throughout. I am a hardcore brony, who just LOVES a good romance Drama. In recent years, Korea has stopped producing any. Instead K Drama writers have decided that nothing says "romance" more than having a serial killer as a major part of every "romcom", or resorting to fantasy pairings like a girl with a demon, or a girl with Cupid, or a girl with a Reaper, etc. etc. etc.

What the writers of THIS Drama got write was in understanding that a simple, sweet, uncomplicated "girl meets boy and it's love at first sight" story is ALREADY pure fantasy, and doesn't need any other baggage thrown in. No need for dark scary psychopaths whose only real function is to pad out the overlong run time. No need for love triangles, stalker exes, or anything to spoil the short sweet fluff. Evefn the creepy, sleazy client was presented a brief a nod to reality and a setup for more OTP bonding.

This worked because the characters were well-written, and this leads me to the main reason why on my personal database, I scored this as 11/10. This Drama is very much in the model of Itazura Na Kiss and all its clones, but with one HUGE difference. From It Started With a Kiss to A Love So Beautiful and lots of similar Dramas in between, I have watched "cute ditzy girl falls for hunky brainiac" A LOT, and this is the VERY FIRST ONE EVER where the FL had an academic strength in which she excelled the ML and even taught him. That was ASTONISHING. My drop rate for C Dramas is high, more than 50% of the C Dramas I start I drop, and that's because of the toxic chauvinsitic misogyny rampant in modern C Dramasd especially. The heroes are good at EVERYTHING, the Fl good at nothing, except pehaps EQ. Not this one. To see an ML & FL tutoring each other and helping each other as true peers was beautiful.

This equality was openly expressed in the dialogue too. The scene where the ML defends the FL to her young cousin by telling him how good the FL is at English (sad we never hear her say a single word of it) was an example of the quality of the writing. Since I rely on subtitles, and since I know how VERY much is literally "lost in translation" whenever I see a Drama where I'm blown away by the quality of writing IN THE SEBS, I think about how awsome the actual dialog must be.

I loved the sensible, down to Earth forthrightness of the FL. She knew what she wanted and went for it, but she also grew as a person and was never passive or whiny. The ML was great too, a great example of a "damaged" ML who was NOT tsundere. His little speech at a product presentation he gave about the impact of the FL on his life was magnificent, as was his thoughtful, PRIVATE proposal.

Whenever I need a remider of why I fell in love with East Asian Dramas in the first place, and why when they get it right they are truly I magical, I will FLY TOWARDS this Drama for a rewatch
