Luo Yao Knew What He Meant (2023)

This drama does the best 'Sunshine & Grumpy' trope☁️✨

So, I just binge-watched the show and let me tell you, RangRang and Zai Zai have got to be the cutest couple ever! They're like the epitome of a perfect relationship. I absolutely adore how deeply they love each other and how they're not afraid to show it, both in words and actions. And their communication skills? On point! They never let any silly misunderstandings come between them and tear them apart?

Oh, and can we talk about the "Sunshine & Grumpy" dynamic? It's done so well here! RangRang might be an introvert and not a big talker, but boy, does he make it clear right from the start that he's head over heels in love with Zai Zai. Actions speak louder than words, right?

If I am being too critical then the only thing that left me a bit disappointed was that they didn't show Zai Zai's pregnancy or their adorable child, 'You.' I would've loved to see more of their interactions as a family of three☁️

All in all, this show is an absolute gem. The chemistry between RangRang and Zai Zai is off the charts, and their love story is just heartwarming. I couldn't recommend it enough!

Now all I want is for Zhou Yi Ran & Zhang Miao Yi to be in a drama again❤️✨

The right person will find you at the right time.

Starting off from school setting and transitioning into adult life, this drama has made sure to keep our hearts warm with nostalgia. Somewhere during our school years, most of us yearned for a love story like Rang rang and Su Zai Zai. So this drama feels like an escape from reality for us where the things we wished for is seen in this drama. Why you should watch this drama:
1. All the friends are green flags.
2. The friendship between the cast is adorable and feels like they found home in each other.
3. The chemsitry between leads is so good.
4. Introvert ML and extrovert FL trope is so well done. In most dramas, the ML is often shown as cold or arrogant instead of actually representing an introvert person. But in this drama, you can actually see how the ML is an intorvert who opened up after the FL pursued him and made him feel comfortable. So I really liked how well made his character was.
5. This might be the first cdrama where the 2nd leads love story isn't random or just for the sake of plot. It was actually really interesting and adorable to see them together. I was rooting for them since the first few episodes.
6. There is healthy relationship between the leads where they communicate properly instead of giving cold shoulder to each other. They always understnd each other and support each other unconditionally.
7. This is a really light and fluffy drama where there are no heavy scenes. Just pure love and happiness.
8. The nostalgic feeling of school life is so strong.

To anyone hesitating to watch this drama, please don't hesitate and go for it. This is the type of drama that you need in a stressful life. The type of drama that makes you feel good about life and an escape from reality. So just dive into this drama and enjoy the journey of two people who are the representation of right person at the right time.

He needed her, and she needed him. ?

As someone who doesn't really like school drama's, I prefer mature romance. Though I have seen a few, they're not my go too. I was very reluctant to watch this, but i figured after watching Hidden Love, (which I wanted to watch since i knew the manhua would become a tv series). I figured its the best time to watch this school drama... so i hope my review helps those who may not be so interested in school shows. When I first started this, after the 2nd episode i wasnt sure if i should drop this, not because it wasn't going well thus far, its precisely because of not watching much drama in this genre, but because i already decided to watch it, i didn't read much comments and i didnt read any reviews, i went in blindly solely because i had planned to watch it, and the ratings was pretty high for a school drama... so i wanted to give it a chance ? and well!!!!!!!!....................

This was simply amazing!!!... Everytime i think something cliché was gonna happen, instead it just exceeded my expectations. It's the first I thought a show deserves 11/10 ?.

I've watched hundreds of shows and just a tiny few make me feel content after watching, but this show... i feel soooo happy, content and satisfied after watching this ?☺️ ......................... yet, somehow I just wanna rewatch it right away haha ? ?

I give 9 for music, because since it started from 2012 through the music i can feel so much nostalgia, it wasn't something amazingly great, but all the songs fit the show very well.

What I loved about this show was that It was great having a FL be enthusiastic and foward without coming off as annoying, or (dumb, the acting felt so natural from the FL, i thought she was adorable ?. It was also really great having a ML who was aloof without being a mean jerk ?. Even the side chracters are so likeable and you enjoy there stories too.

I enjoyed the progress of the love story, from acquaintance, to classmates, then lovers. The timing for everything was well put together, even if it may not feel that way after you're hakfway through, just know it comes together so well and nothing, absolutely nothing was rushed. It was also really great seeing the interactions with the main couple from school until the end, they just fit so well together. The frienship was soooo amazingly beautiful, like it made me feel sooo nostalgic, i felt like i wanted to go back to school to make friends like that ?

But most of all, I really enjoyed seeing how the FL with a beautiful personality and genuine care and love became a bulldozer and broke down the ML walls. I also loved how the ML made the FL wanna always try her best and be herself. He needed her and she needed him!. Whether in academic or in love.... they were truly what i call soul mates!!!!

Smooth, perfect, easy going drama!

This will be my most favourite CDrama of all times I think for now. Personally don’t really like CDramas a lot cause you know there are so many cliches that go into them like childhood friends, accidental kisses etc. and then the thing that would annoy me was the second leads acting, (honestly just my opinion) it would be so over that at a point I would prefer stopping that drama. BUT came this drama!!!!!! I don’t know why honestly but I really loved this drama!! The second leads are also so faaarrr better. Although I know few might feel a little bit unrealistic but me preferably watch dramas to escape reality, so for me it was a 10/10 drama. Also what made it more watchable was that the ML was not a rich guy, not a guy with good grades, not a guy with perfect personality like they usually show it. It was really nice to see how he was also imperfect and how she was also imperfect! My favourite part was how the character of ML develops in such a soft way!!! I really liked how he was all so sweet and girly in front of her after they started dating! The small things he did for her, the way she always showed how she liked him but never really admitted it. And not to miss his proposal!!!! Both the times, when they started dating and he proposed to get married was the sweetest!! It started with the vlogs and ended with one it…you know when they started dating i was thinking how this relationship will move forward. Cause we knew how introverted the guy was, but ig it was from the starting that she had made him so comfortable with her that it was soooooo good to see him in the relationship!!!
Honestly after watching this drama I don’t wanna be single anymore?.
don’t mind my reviews, they are a little rusty cause this is the first time i am writing one!

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.

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.

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.
