When I Fly Towards You or 当我飞奔向你 is a romantic comedy Chinese television series that was released this year, 2023. It was adapted by a novel called She’s a Little Crazy and it is directed by Mao De Shu. It can be watched on streaming devices such as Netflix. It features the main actors, Zhou Yi Ran and Zhang Miao Yi who play the main characters, Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lurang.

The show starts off when the main character, Su Zai Zai sees Zhang Lurang at a convenience store on a rainy day and she falls in love with him. After a while, they meet again at Jiangyi High School, where they both attend. Su Zai Zai is cheerful while Zhang Lurang is cold and introverted due to his family issues and constantly being compared to his younger brother, who is a genius. Zai Zai, and her friend, Jiang Jia, join friend groups with Lurang, Gu Ran, and Guan Fang, who are friends with Zhang Lurang over the years, their friendships with each other strengthen, and the love between Zai Zai and Lurang bloom.

Honestly, I had planned to watch this show since my friends were talking about it months ago. I did not get the chance to due to my school work causing little free time, but thanks to Thanksgiving break, I had lots of free time. I used that time to finally start watching the show and I enjoyed watching it. I am not finished as of now but I’m nearing the end of the show.

I liked how the show showed the struggle of being constantly being compared to someone because personally, I have experienced being constantly being compared to someone. It’s not in academics specifically but another reason why and it’s so frustrating, so I liked how the show portrayed that. I also loved how the show showed us the struggle of unrequited love between Jiang Jia and Shen Qian Yu. However, I did not like how everyone in their friend group except for Guan Fang got together with someone they deserved because honestly, Guan Fang is my personal favorite. I loved his character and the way he took care of his grandmother. Overall, I really like this show and I definitely recommend watching it when you have free time!
