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 !!

a must watch for those looking for a youthful warm romance drama

Where do I even start with this review. Is it even a good idea to write this while on an emotional high immediately after finishing the show? My chest is overflowing with emotions I've never felt in a while. It's been a long time since i've watched something that saw right through me and managed to reach my heart to this extent.

A clip that popped up on my fyp or on my twitter page piqued my interest. The trailer of them bumping into each other and exchanging airpods did it for me. I am an absolute sucker for meet-cutes and I am definitely a sucker for fate/destiny stories when they are done well. I can't articulate enough how fascinating their first meet was. The same song at the same time and the same place. WOW. You cannot argue that whoever came up with this idea is a genius. I love how unique it is!

Oh and how I love that through twist of fate, they end up living in the same house together. The moments they shared, the conversations they had, the smiles they've shown, how warm all of them were. Every moment and conversation was so raw, it felt like I lived in the house with them. I was feeling the warmth they felt in their chest, the comfort, and how time seemed to stop whenever Oto and Soramame was under the kotatsu, or outside, sitting on their spot in the yard. I cannot emphasize enough how my gut wrenched, stomach turned, and heart ached because of everything they've shared on that spot. It's as if the two of them only needed each other, the sounds from the yard, and that place to have a world of their own. I found it amazing. It's just the two of them, talking, but everything is so remarkable.

I also have to talk about how every character in the series is so well-written. I was able to understand and resonate with all of them. I've been saying this over and over but the dialogues in this drama is out of this world. The conversations, fights, misunderstandings all felt very real and human. Maybe it's just me being an empath, but honestly it feels like anyone who watches this drama would be able to connect to the characters well. The lines felt very straightforward, they are as they are. Well, I guess sometimes there are poetic lines and figurative language used, and when they are it's very beautiful.
At this point, I am stumped again. Where do I even start when it comes to Oto and Soramame? There's so many things and specific scenes I want to talk about when it comes to them. Let me pick up off what happened after they first met. Soramame's world shattered when Shota called off the wedding. It was all that she lived for after all. Thinking about what would happen to her if Oto wasn't there scares me. I don't know, it really solidifies the fact that they're destined for each other. Oto went through all of that without them knowing each other's name.

Seeing the both of them hustle and bustle with their own lives and careers, then eventually succeeding, felt fulfilling. I felt it so hard like they were actually my friends. I would like to believe that they were able to get this far because they had each other. Oto who was struggling with inspiration and motivation to write was able to come up with something because of his encounter with Soramame. Oto help broke Soramame out of her shell. She completely tossed the idea of marriage out the window as soon as she realized she could make the money for the elevator herself with her skills. They were always there for each other.
Actually, them being there for each other is an understatement. They both used to just exist, drifting and floating aimlessly. When they met, they were able to become themselves. Their lives became fun, meaningful, thrilling, exciting, and colorful. Playing with bean bags, blowing bubbles, splashing each other with water. They were each other’s beautiful youth.
