WATCH IT!! U WILL NOT REGRET I PROMISE
SO SO AMAZING. I finished this drama in like 2 days best time spent. icl, in the beginning, I didn't have the greatest expectations however it sooo lives up to its hype. I kept seeing this on my tiktok so I thought why not give it a go? BEST DECISION. I was legit kicking my feet and shi EVERY EPISODE and this NEVER happens for me. Not a single dull moment, the episodes and moments are timed sooo perfectly that before a boring second can even arrive it's already moved on to the next scene. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if u want to be happy and feel soo nostalgic (even tho I'm still in hs lol). ANDDD,, I didn't even skip a single scene for the second couple which is a rarity, as I usually do for other dramas bc second couple usually boring as, buttt not this couple! OK, enough said, u MUST WATCH IT!!!!p.s. I want a rang rang so soo bad :((((((

Be still my youthful heart...
This gem has renewed my hope in dramas.This was such a well written story with lovable characters and realistic reactions to situations.
I appreciate how fiery and strong the FL was, especially when someone tried to make moves on her Rang Rang in college.
And that Rang Rang .. his character was so well developed.
You can see how her bubbly, shining love for him helped heal him and how his quiet but steady presence gave her courage.
The things he did from early on showed how deeply he already cared for her.
The second couple was sweet too.
The way he quietly loved her for so many years and supported her was beautiful.
The friendship the 5 of them had was stellar.
The humor - ah the humor.
There were so many times I found myself laughing like a fool and it was usually over some well placed comment.
I loved how the ML backed the FL and vice versa.
I could go on and on, but I will just say if you haven' watched this yet, do it.
It was such a breathe of fresh air.
I rated the re watch value a little lower because this was a wonderful story that did all it needed to the first time around.

Remind me so much of another drama.
When does it get better? Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute but I’m on episode 6 and I think I’m going to give it another episode before I drop it. This show reminds me so much of A Love So Beautiful (which I didn’t like) with a perky, obsessed FL and a stoic ML. I know he has a reason for being that way but all ML have reasons.Seriously though why do they make these high school girls so forward when they like a guy? They are out there following them around even when the guys doesn’t show interest (as audiences we see the tiny smiles but the FL doesn’t!). I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever encountered any girls like that in school but came up with nothing.
The cast is fine but the FL remind me so much of a younger Esther Yu. I am already not the biggest fan of EY so it’s been taxing.

Second lead couple deserves their own drama
The drama itself is fine, no toxicity, not a lot of plot, mostly just something to watch to pass time. However, after watching until the middle of the drama I realized I was only watching the next episode, hoping to see the second lead couple. Not that there's anything wrong with Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai, just I find their story to be a bit boring. They were sometimes cute ig but their trope was not something for me, the she falls in love first sight and he slowly falls in love too, their scenes together did not spark anything within me.Honestly I much prefer the second lead couple, for me, their trope and story are much better. Gu Ran and Jiang Jia enemies to frenemies to lovers was giving everything I needed, I was fr giggling and kicking my feet at every little screen time they had. The reason why I dropped this drama is because I didn't want to waste time watching a drama where I have no interest in the main couple and the only couple I am watching for is done no justice .
I really wish that the second lead couple had more screen time, but they barely had any to development their relationship. I swear I need a season 2 with them as the main or maybe another drama with their actors cause they have SM potential as a couple.

At first while watching I'm not a fan of how 在在 was so bold and how she acted to impress 让让。but after quite awhile Im glad 5 of them became friends, very close friends and I wish to be like them too. I like how caring 让让 is. Glad they teach each other the weak subject which makes them closer and how Lin 老师 is 让让's 叔叔. If not maybe Lin 老师 wouldn't be as close as 在在 now. I was over the moon that 让让 confessed. Some parts maybe I was so angry at him because he told her to be quite but this drama is my top drama right now, sadly I didn't notice how gorgeous Zhou Yi ran is in his "falling into your smile"I'm very happy that both 让让and在在 are loyal to each other. Love that both of their family members welcome them . This drama is very recommended, made me cry couple of times but made me jump many times due to the love of 让让 and 在在

A Coming-of-Age Drama w/out All the Drama!
At the innocent age of 16, a girl, ZaiZai, fell in love with a boy, RangRang, at first sight. Thus their story begins…She’s a bubbly, upbeat, and positive girl; friendly & always smiling. She stands up for herself, never letting anyone look down on or abuse her. She’s confident, but not conceited; strong, but not arrogant. And her admiration for & support of the ML completely change his life.💗
He’s seen as cold & aloof due to his focus on his studies, but he’s actually very kind to those he allows to get close. He has very low self esteem because of being constantly compared to his genius younger brother & always coming up short in his parents’ eyes. But he opens up to his new friends & begins to laugh & enjoy life with them by his side. And the way he gravitates towards, falls for, & protects the FL is so swoon worthy. 🫠
This is one of my favorite youth dramas! I absolutely love it. It felt like I was just hearing stories from close friends, the cast’s chemistry was that natural. I love everything about it. The bromance, the sismance, & the core 5’s bond. The lack of love rival drama (the Leads were so good at not allowing any of that to fester!) That all the adults were NICE (except ML’s parents) - so rare! The love of the Leads & the ways they always protected each other & their relationship (ML’s remark regarding the college wannabe-rival girl’s photos of him = chef’s kiss!! ) They’re all very mature, loyal, & good.
Do yourself a favor & watch this sweet drama if you haven’t yet!

I am floored by how much I ended up loving this. I do not normally watch many Chinese dramas and I felt a little bit bored at the beginning. Once the main friend group was formed and the characters started feeling more developed, I was hooked. WIFTY is an amazing coming of age drama. The entire friend group is so well-written and each character is endearing and relatable in their own way. They really all felt like friends.Lurang and Zai zai are one of the best drama couples. Their relationship is so healthy and the transition from friends to something more felt very natural. There was so little drama around this couple; they communicated, trusted, and loved each other in a way that felt so beautiful and rare to see. The actors did such a great job with their characters. They expressed their affection and emotions very differently but it was clear that they both felt just as strongly about each other. Zai zai was Lurang’s sunshine and he was her safe place. I actually cried at how beautiful and pure some of their conversations were.
The second lead couple was very different but still fantastic. Gu ran and Jiang Jia start off really disliking each other, become best friends, and eventually acknowledge their feelings for each other. The chemistry between the two actors was great and they had a lot of very funny scenes together. This couple should’ve had more screentime together.
WIFTY is a perfect comfort show. There is not a lot of major plot points or drama, it just focuses on the characters and their relationships with each other. While there are some sadder themes explored, primarily Lurang’s backstory, this is mostly just a feel good show that warms your heart.

Perfeito, sem defeitos!
Eu nunca pensei que chegaria o dia em que um drama superaria Wait My Youth em meu coração, mas When I Fly Towards You chegou de voadora!!! Perfeito, leve, com um squad de amigos encantadores, um casal maduro, companheiro, e seguro!Apesar do período deles na faculdade e na vida adulta ter sido rápido, não foi algo que deu a sensação de história corrida. Tudo aconteceu de forma suave, e emocionante, deixando o coração quentinho a cada interação.
Pra quem gosta de dramas fofos, com casal que se apoia mutuamente, se entende, e percebe os minimos detalhes pra fazerem um ao outro felizes, eu super recomendo!!!

No plot, no conflict, just adorable characters and pure fluff
It's hard for me to rate this drama because it's pure fluff without plot. Literally nothing happens. There's no conflict and no problem that can't be solved in 20 minutes. The opening credits give away the entire story. This is the kind of show where the female lead lives in a crowded dorm room and yet somehow has a different brand new coat to wear every day. But the drama hooked me anyway because it's absolutely adorable and it gave me 12 hours of escape from the cold cruel world which I really needed.The main couple is the living embodiment of the sunshine/sunshine protector meme. Su Zaizai falls in love at first sight with Zhang Lu Rang and showers him with warm positivity through the whole show (she also looks like a living doll). Rang Rang starts out expressionless and monosyllabic because of the pressure he gets from his mother to be a school topper, but as he spends more and more time with Zaizai he gradually thaws out and one of the best parts of the show is watching him blossom into a warmer and happier person. He also has two dimples which makes it even better when he flashes one of his rare smiles.
The rest of the characters in the friendship group are very cute but underdeveloped. I would have liked to have spent more time on the second lead romance.

"It was that glance, just that quick glance, that brought us together for life. "
God where do I even begin??? Honestly, this drama's alternative title should be "tooth rotting fluff". My heart felt warm and content watching this one. The sweet, heartwarming story with a super talented cast and the beautiful cinematography made it one of my all time favs. One thing I absolutely loved about this drama was that it didn't follow any cliches or stereotypes we usually see in these youth dramas such as dumb female lead, super smart 'perfect' male lead, stupid love triangle, main leads breaking up after high school etc etc. The male lead had his issues and insecurities and the female lead helped him slowly but surely sort them out, and I think that's amazing. Also loved how none of the main characters outshone one another. They all had their charms. Like, Gu Ran and Jiang Jia's love story deserves a drama on it's own and giving Guan Feng that backstory made him more than just a comic relief character. It's an adorable, bubbly drama about youth ,friendship and young love like no other. Definitely worth your time.Was this review helpful to you?
