Luo Yao Knew What He Meant (2023)

comfort show

I couldn’t finish it before because I was so afraid that I would miss them, so I kept watching one episode per week. I’m being so real right now; every character was so special. Su Zaizai is one of the best characters of all time. She’s so bright, happy, and dedicated. And Zhang Lurang, what can I say about him? HE IS THE BEST. I love Jiang Jia, Gu Ran, and Guan Fang too; their friendship was so good to watch.

I loved that Su Zaizai was 'chasing' Zhang Lurang with such confidence, and she breaks the stereotype that only the guy has to chase the girl. She was patient with Zhang Lurang being so shy, and I really, really loved that.

Zhang Lurang is a character I could relate to so much. People only see us as human beings without feelings, but it's completely the opposite. I hope in the future I can be more open with another person, just as Lurang was open with Zaizai.

It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe.

*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : When I Fly Towards You - 2023 (Complete 24 Episode)
Personal Rating : 7.5/10

It is too sweet for me that it makes me cringe but still it’s a good, youthful, and full of positivity drama with a happy ending. 😅

It’s a classic high school youth drama which begins in high school and continues into adulthood. Su Zai Zai is a cute, talkative, and straight forward girl who falls for the genius, aloof and introvert Zhang Lu Rang. They fall in love and get married.
Honestly, I watched this drama because they have the same writer of Hidden Love. Personally, I didn’t enjoy it that much because I have high expectations from it.

There are lot of scenes that are cute and sweet but sometimes it’s too much for me that it makes me cringe specially when I hear the word “Rang-Rang”.

I like their friendship though, the heartwarming relationship between the grandma and Guan Fang and the 2nd couple because they have a nice story line. The 2nd couple have love - hate relationship and one-sided love which is so natural. I feel that the 1st couple story is cute, sweet but flat. The only problem they have is the pressure of ML’s mother. No second lead or jealousy to make things spice up.

Overall, it is not my cup of tea. It is a good drama – classic, but maybe because my preference has changed a lot that this one doesn’t suit me. I watched A Love So Beautiful which almost has the same plot of running after their crushes or first love, but ALSB didn’t make me cringe. And I made a mistake of watching the intros that it almost spills the whole story of the drama.

Everyone should watch When I Fly Towards You !!

I honestly think that anybody could pick up wifty if they wanted to. It's a very light-hearted show that you could just keep watching without stress. The characters are sooooo well-written, loveable, and charming in their own way. I could go on and on for days about just how much I enjoyed this show and how well-paced it is.

I'll start off with what I thought the whole time I was binging. Every episode I just thought to myself "love can be such a beautiful thing. It can be sunshine and rainbows too." I know, the thought isn't novel. That thought was left in my mind because (in my opinion) dramas these days don't portray love like that anymore. I have never felt this good watching a romance series without any setbacks or unnecessary conflicts and the likes.

How love manifests in each of the characters is also a topic I can speak endlessly about.

Zaizai shines so much because she is a lover girl. she is THE lover girl. She never puts up a front and is the most genuine character i've come across in a while. That's what makes her the perfect main girl. Her existence brings such a great warmth to everyone around her and you can tell.

Lurang seems like the typical cold, quiet guy at first. Zaizai definitely brought the best of him. Who would've thought the quiet guy would become the most adorable and understanding boyfriend out there? Words cannot explain how much I loveeee Lurang's development from a guy who seemingly had a fairly black and white world to Rangrang who would do anything for his Zaizai.

Oh god, GuJia., where do I even start...

I deeply resonate with Jia who felt lost among her peers that knew what path they wanted to take after high school. As everyone may know, i'm not new to experiencing existential crisis. I think it's because her journey of finding herself came first before she was able to allow herself to feel romantic emotions (or rather, her feeling being revealed rather later on in the story).

Guran [sighs] okay let me get this out of the way but I do have a bias towards him because he reminds me so much of junhyeon !! I'm sorry ANYWAYS. Obsessed is an understatement for how much I enjoyed seeing him pine for Jia ITS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY can you tell from how much I am straying away from my seemingly formal review ;-; crying screaming sobbing he is the personification of saymynameandeverythingjuststopsidontwantyoulikeabestfriend!!! i love them so much everybody should try out the gujia burger meal 100/10 would recommend.

Guan Fang :((( His relationship with his grandmother is beyond endearing. Their love and appreciation for each other proves itself time and time again. They live for each other, its SOOOO heartwarming to see there's no way anyone who watches this series will not appreciate his character.

OVERALL, I thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly HIGHLY recommend it to everyone in the market for youth-romance shows and are looking for something to watch right now!

p.s. I did not beta this please pretend like you didnt see it if you encounter any mistakes love you guys watch wifty !!

refreshing story

I haven’t watched a drama like this that was so good and refreshing and made me want more. There love story makes me feel overwhelmed with joy and love that I couldn’t get enough of it, especially now that it’s over. this drama will always have a special place in my heart because of the male and female lead. they were so uplifting for eachother and never doubted their love for eachother which made the drama even better. even though they had hardships their love never broke but made them value eachother even more. they are such a cute couple and will love this drama forever…❤️

a journey from childhood to adulthood

it is refreshing in terms of seeing new actors. I like the Camadiere between the friends and the support system they have for each other. the best moments for me is when su zaizai nags zhang lurang without stopping and he takes it so nicely. there is warmth and also a childlike chemistry between them. Gu ran and the second girl whom he likes is also engaging. Best for me is Guan Feng. His acting is superb. there is no nagging parent and till episode 19 no nagging third wheel. I hope such a character is not introduced and it will take away the sweetness of the drama. it can be continued as a journey of their university and the ups and downs they face together. looking forward for that.

Heartwarming & meaningful story about youth, love & friendship

This drama tells the story of five students and their journey from school to adulthood. The plot mostly focuses on the main leads however we do get separate episodes for the rest of the friendship group (the second couple and a guy friend). I did appreciate those episodes with the rest of the cast as it made me really connect with their friendship.

Main couple is a slow burn romance, friends to lovers vibes. They are caring and supportive of each other, so a wonderful relationship that anyone would want in real life. Male lead is quiet, introverted, calm, and a green flag. He is a bit stand-offish at first but turns into a very caring guy. Female lead is sweet, kind-hearted, cheerful and less shy than the male lead but still timid.

Second couple is such a scene stealer, perhaps because I love enemies to lovers trope. They had all the angst, teasing, bickering and sweetness. I enjoyed them as much as the main couple.

POSITIVE:
- Lots of fluff and cutest school vibes
- Feel good vibes all the time
- The best portrayal of friendship
- No cliche plot lines
- Small misunderstandings that are solved in the same episode
- No love triangles
- No red flag males
- No annoying characters
- The most beautiful and sweetest happy ending

NEGATIVE:
- Dating starts at episode 19 for the main couple so it was quite slow for me. It made sense with the story but I just wanted a little more.
- There is no unnecessary drama and boring cliche storylines which was great BUT some episodes I needed a little more excitement.

OVERALL:
I highly recommend this drama to everyone that wants to watch something that makes you feel really good. The vibes are like eating sweet candy and receiving warm hugs. Even though most of the drama takes place in school it doesn't feel childish so anyone can watch it.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL C-DRAMA

I accidentally watched this drama because I saw Zhang Lurang in another drama haha. And on my tiktok,lots of videos are scattered about this drama.In the first place,I like seeing how Su Zaizau made Zhang Lurang like her.Then,in the middle of the episode I realized the power of their friendship.This drama made me think back to my high school days.It's not only about Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai's love, but also about great friendship.Of course,this drama is decorated a lot about their romance.I learned what true love is. How they strengthen each other. Ahh,I want to find my Zhang Lurang.This drama is also very related to my life.how our parents always compare us so that I feel inferior and have no trust.That feeling is still in me to this day.The difference is that I don't have a partner like Rang Rang and Zaizai.Anyway,I really thank this drama.I cried watching it of course with a happy smile.谢谢朗朗和再宰，再见.👋🏻❤️

If you want something heartwarming!

Well, once again I feel the need to write about a drama, and this one is just amazing. I heard about When I fly toward you on tik tok, I was intrigued because I saw communication (I know, something so simple), but that amazed me because I don't like miscommunication plots. But beyond that, the FL was just so bright, ever time the episode was ending, I was looking forward to her little words, that made such a nice touch, I felt like I was reading her mind, and became infatuated by. The ML was also a great choice, great character development. Side characters were also so well chosen. It's a great romance, if your are young you will want to live something like this, if you are an adult you will think that you wanted that relationship, nothing sad, just imagination! Recommend it.
