Beautiful✨

The leads are amazing. The plot is interesting. There's no question of getting bored. Every single detail is well planned and systematic. All the jealousy, misunderstandings and conflicts are perfectly balanced. There is no overacting, the actresses carried on their roles, very swiftly. They are very smart and gorgeous. The fights are arranged in a very systematic manner. There's no bloody murders, and every fight is clean and interesting. Viewers will get excited with each passing minute. There's absolutely no misunderstanding. Even the villain's actions were balanced and well managed. The female lead, Janine Chang, did a marvellous job here, and so is her opposite, Zhang Han. Yang Yang was in his own natural way, as usual. And the songs are very soothing. The conspiracies were also, unbelievably properly managed. A must watch for the fans of Zhang Han and Yang Yang.

Felt nostalgic to the bones

Left me with a sense of fulfillment. When I Fly Towards You is by far the second most peaceful drama (the first being Hidden Love). ZaiZai is the cutest and the most beautiful character ever. Even when she's head over heels for a boy, she always stood her ground, boldly confronted the bullies and worked hard to develop a sense of individuality and independence within. Zhang Lurang.... damn that guy is one charming man. Quiet and aloof yet has a sense of responsibility and loyal to death. The way he was persistent on resolving every misunderstanding that came his way regarding his love life, it was a green flag right there! Every problems were resolved quickly within one episode and it wasn't dragged on much. ZaiZai's best friend Jiang Jia was the best depiction of how a friend is supposed to be. All in all, I loved the drama and it deserves the 9 rating through and through.

Too predictable

Same old cliched plot. I actually knew what was coming next after each episode. Fast forwarded many times. Jo Boah was my favourite actress but after this, I'm not so sure. She infuriated me with her cringey portrayal of having a crush towards her senior in the office. I mean seriously??? Tucking your hair and turning your shoetip on the ground to act all shy??? That was cringe on so many levels. I mean what is she?? A 5th grader??? And I hated the fact that this cringey act was focused more on in some scenes. I mean why? Just why? This ain't a tiktok video! And Rowoon oh God! In the process of being a tsundere, he instead ends up being a total jerk. I mean c'mon!!
Conclusively the only thing that I did like was their romance part, the rest is cliche.

Not sure if it really deserves the hype

I literally forced myself to complete it, partly because of Yang Yang looking good in traditional Chinese costumes and partly because Lusi is my favourite. But even these two couldn't save the series. Firstly, I always have a problem with Yang Yang not showing enough expressions. Like, show me that you're happy/sad/angry/h**ny. Anything! Secondly, I felt like something's missing in Lusi's character. Bai Fengxi is undoubtedly strong and elegant but she didn't look promising as a martial artist as much as Feng Qiwu did. Guess Lusi is not made for martial arts characters. The martial sister of Xiyun, Bai Langhua, was annoying as hell. Like she was unsure of what she wants or thinks. Has some confusing and ridiculous trust issues with Bai Fengxi even after being her martial sister. And how come every living woman in the drama (other than the Queen) is in love with Lanxi. Even that maid of his mansion has a crush on him, like?????? I get that Yang is super handsome and pretty irresistible but this is just some kind of mindless fangirling dumped in the drama. Honestly, Feng Chang really raised my expectations of what he initially bestowed upon me. He was the most genuinely created character. Overall I think the drama had a promising potential but was ruined by casting teenagers and dry actors.

the most poetic of dramas

this is one of the best thing I've watched in a while. Dilraba won my heart and Yang Yang proved once more that why he's my favourite! I absolutely loved it! In this drama, you can actually feel the emotions the characters were feeling. The leads were so mature! Mature enough to dodge their toxic exes. Dilraba carried her role so beautifully, it seemed like it was God's grace. Yang Yang being the cold and tsundere type, just what suits him, did his part with utmost professionalism and vigour. The side characters were just chef's kiss! I am always open to watch this again and again because this will never get old! this was such a heavenly piece of art that I can't get enough of it

Highly overrated

Ji Changwook is a versatile actor and we all know it. Shin Hyesun is the toughest and one of the most elegant actress and we know that too. But here, both of their potentials were wasted big time. I can't even get started on the sheer ridiculosity of the story. The writer made some unbelievably stupid and irritating characters and just dumped them without a proper background. One of them is Cho Samdal herself. That woman's fake pride was high up the sky, and she was living in denial all along that she can never fail, because according to her, she is supposed to be the only one to succeed in Seoul from Jeju. Her bratty behavior and her demeanor was a pain to watch tbh. Next is Yongpil's dad, Sangtae. He definitely has some serious woman issues and was almost a lunatic. He blamed Samdal's mom for his wife's death when in reality it wasn't anybody's fault. I have never seen such a spineless man ever in my life. Imagine blaming someone else for your own incompetence. All in all, it was a forcefully curated slice of life drama where there's no slice of life in it. The only saving grace was the natural backgrounds, at least they were pretty. Eunju, the antagonist, was supposed to be annoying, but she was less annoying than Cho Samdal actually.

Uh... Okay

Honestly, started watching this after seeing Darren in Meteor Garden. And I've never seen this actress anywhere else. So this review is solely based on this drama ONLY.
It was cute, I'll admit. You'll see a lot of blue, pink and purple on the screen. But the story as a whole was cliche and kinda predictable. Also, I'd say that Darren somewhat made me annoyed with his bratty actions. And the girl was cheesy and cliched person, probably never moved on from the teenager hormonal self. She was too jumpy and too much talkative for my liking. I did like the second lead better, but definitely not his elder brother. He was a certified asshole with a face like an ASS.
But still, it was bearable.

The most magically woven drama

Let me tell you, I am NOT a fan of Xianxia or Wuxia C-Dramas, but this one just won my heart not once, but over and over again. The leads, YangZi, DengLun and Luo YunXi... They were just amazing. The story, from first to last, was so beautifully made, it feels like you're present right there, in the drama. Even the villains and antagonists perfectly acted their parts, making me hate them so much, which was in fact, the sole purpose after all. The way the story unfolded in every episode was just, Chef's Kiss. Yeah I agree that in some parts, JinMi was annoying and dumb, but you'll see that you can't even blame her for that.
All in all, it was the most amazing xianxia drama I've ever seen, and there were no scope of getting bored. I would definitely recommend this

Great plot

it was a great plot, no doubt. The sequence of events occurring in the drama kept me on the edge most of the time. but I think that the story progressed way too fast. At some point it was becoming difficult to keep track of the events. Dong Baek's past was given very little screentime, infact, we had to wait until the end to know about his special ability. Well, the acting was great, both of them were fabulous, also I think Sun Mi deserved a little more recognition, she was an absolute talented girl. Also, I would have liked a little more depth in Sun Mi's past but anyway, whatever they've shown wasn't bad either. I greatly recommend this, if you all love thriller dramas

Adorable

It's great but not as great as PYHOMS or ALSB but still it's beautiful and cute except for some annoying bitchy characters like Cai Yasi, Xi Yixing and Jia Yichun. They will annoy the living daylight out of y'all. But other than them, the story was fine and it progressed pretty beautifully. There was enough chemistry for the main leads but I think that if Fanzhou showed a little more emotions, it'd have been less than 28 episodes. Cai Yasi just got on my nerves so many times that he's the most hated character for me. He's damn annoying and always nagging Zhou Xiao to be his girlfriend. Same goes for Jia Yichun. She was a bitch all throughout the drama, till the end. But other than these people, it was beautiful. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll love it

It's disgusting

God!! My favorite actor is Yang Yang, but after watching him here, I was like, "what the hell are you doing?!!" To be honest, he literally pissed me off! And so did that girl! Ying HuanHuan!! In one word, she's a spoiled brat! She's just too much!! She's always whining and complaining about everything in the world! She's also an airheaded girl. Doesn't know anything about martial arts, still she boasts about it. She's always shrieking and screaming like a wild animal. I don't know how Yang Yang fell in love with her, afterwards. This girl is the main reason why I dropped the show midway!!

It's unnecessarily long

It was better off being only 12 episodes. It was dragged on unnecessarily with cliched plots, mindless second lead dumping etc. This is infact highly overrated. Sunjae is a green flag, yes. But Im Sol is not. She's jumpy, confused and very very annoying. I love watching Hyeyoon trust me! Extraordinary You, Sky Castle, Snowdrop etc, she was marvellous in them. But this was cringe, straight up cringe. There's no business of this having 9 rating. A 7 would have been fine honestly. And it was too much of overlapping issues going on. Conclusively this is same typical cliched plot, nothing else.

The story line was so boring

I personally think that this drama isn't worth your time. I dropped this even though I am that kind of kdramaholic who has watched too many dramas to judge this one. Let me come to the female lead! She's one idiotic bitch. She always plays the victim card when she's the meanest and the most bitchy woman ever born. And she's thick headed too. When she sees that she's losing in an argument, she's gonna play her victim card and open the tear tap in her eyes, if I was in Habaek's place, I'd have never loved her! Gosh! She's so damn annoying! She should have been the villain and Shin JaYa would have been better off being the lead character. Then comes Habaek. Goodness! He's another spoiled brat! He's so upright about himself that he really doesn't deserve to be the King of Gods. Personally I think that MuRa and BiRyeom were the most beautiful couple there. I'm in love with MuRa's acting skills. And BiRyeom, my goodness! Isn't he the most charming personality out there!!! Over-all I think that if y'all just skip this one, y'all will save yourselves from unending frustrations in the future

Humans are scarier than evil spirits

Fantastic drama! The storyline was so surreal and amazing, it will make you hooked on to your device until you finish it completely. But there are some drawbacks tho. For example, Sanyeong's mom was dumb and stupid till the very end, and I would say selfish too. She only thought about saving her daughter I agree, but in the process she endangered her. Her quest in saving her daughter was running away from every dire situation. She even concealed Sanyeong's father's family secrets and was acting like a lunatic everytime Sanyeong asked about it. She really pissed me off. Hongsae was a brat at first, but his senior's death changed him, and thank goodness for that, cuz I could not tolerate two annoying characters at the same time. He was greedy for promotion but later realised the real meaning of being a civil servant. Now coming to the evil spirit, Hyangi. Damn, she was a real tyrant, just because she wasn't loved by anybody. What I understood from her backstory was that, Hyangi didn't mind being poor, she wanted that happiness that was snatched from her by her own acts of selfishness and greed. When she said, "Why can't you love me?" to Sanyeong's mom, I felt her pain PHYSICALLY. Getting killed because of some psychopathic heiress of a business company wanted her husband's business to flourish, was seriously the most painful part, as Hyangi's teenage and the rest of her life was snatched from her without her knowing. That's why, humans are lot more scarier than evil spirits, and conclusively, this drama was super fantastic. Probably the best work of Kim Taeri.

You gotta try hard for this one

Honestly, it was really confusing at first, but if you observe and watch it and not rush things, you will have a good chance of understanding it at first episode itself. For me, I had to repeat certain parts of episodes to understand the scenes succeeding them. It was a complicated network of past and present. Coming to the actors and their portrayal of the characters. Jeon Yeobin as Han Junhee/Kwon Minju was perfect. From being a shy, coy girl named Minju in 1998 timeline to a career driven, independent and proud Han Junhee in the present, it was sheer perfection. Liked her more than Vincenzo here. Next, Ahn Hyoseop as Goo Yeonjun/Nam Shihyeon. I will say this, cuz nobody else will, he was the most confusing character in this drama. You can't understand and figure out what his deal is, until the end of the drama. Yet his acting was pretty natural I'd say, especially that bl cameo story with Rowoon as Taeha was amazing actually. Kang Hoon as Jung Ingyu. Man I hated his character no offence. He liked Minju, that was perfectly fine, I mean second leads are supposed to fall for the FL, but ditching your best friend who once saved you from getting bullied by your colony kids for a girl?? That some immature and rude move. I so desperately wanted Shihyeon to ditch him and not be his friend anymore, and I wouldn't be lying if I say that I also hoped for Ingyu to be the killer, so much, just so he'd be out of Minju and Shihyeon's life. He was that infuriating, and his expressions kinda looked like psychopaths. Anyway, conclusively this drama is a pretty good watch, but you might feel an urgency to finish it as soon as possible, as I did get impatient by the time I reached the half of it, tho I do recommend it, it's a light thriller romantic so you guys can give it a watch.
