When I Fly Towards You

What do you get when you mix a quirky, sunshine-girl heroine, a quietly brooding hero with soulful eyes, and a high school backdrop filled with friendships, crushes, and heart-fluttering glances?

You get When I Fly Towards You—a show that feels like sipping iced lemonade on a warm afternoon, sweet and refreshing but with a twist of nostalgia that makes you sigh.

The story follows Su Zaizai, a bundle of chaotic energy wrapped in pure sunshine, as she falls head over sneakers for Zhang Lurang, the broody, aloof guy who practically invented the art of leaning against walls and looking emotionally unavailable. But surprise, surprise—he's soft as a marshmallow on the inside. (Honestly, Lurang, the "I’m hard to get" act fooled no one except yourself!)

The magic of the show lies in its simplicity. There's no over-the-top melodrama or unnecessary love triangles to make you roll your eyes. Instead, it’s all about those tiny moments—shy smiles, stolen glances, and those classic "accidental hand touches" that could power an entire city with electricity. It’s a slow burn, but the kind that makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and giggle like a teenager.

And the friendships? Chef’s kiss. Su Zaizai’s loyal and equally goofy squad brought the comic relief, while Lurang’s struggles with family and self-doubt added depth. Honestly, watching their group dynamics felt like being back in school, where every silly moment felt like the center of the universe.

Sure, it’s a bit idealistic—high school crushes don’t always turn into love stories, and not everyone looks that good in a school uniform (seriously, K-drama casting directors, where do you find these perfect humans?). But who’s watching K-dramas for realism anyway? Let me dream, okay?

In short, When I Fly Towards You is like your favorite comfort food: warm, satisfying, and leaves you feeling all kinds of fuzzy. It’s a gentle reminder that love, at its core, is about the little things.

This series captivated me! The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
