Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old high school girl Su Zaizai grew up in a good family environment and became a person who is not infatuated, does not blindly follow others, and has her own opinions.

On the first day of high school, Su Zaizai, who showed disdain for her good friend's infatuation, was instantly proven wrong when she encountered the aloof and handsome Zhang Lurang.

Su Zaizai fell in love at first sight with Zhang Lurang and decided to immediately take the offensive, transforming herself into a follower behind Zhang Lurang.

However, behind the appearance of excellent academic performance and a privileged family background, Zhang Lurang is a "contradictory" person wrapped in self-doubt.

Due to the existence of his genius younger brother, Zhang Luli, he is always compared to his brother by his mother. For over a decade, Zhang Lurang's life has been like living in a thick shell. He is reserved and speaks little, appearing composed and polite, but always keeps people at a distance.

However, after encountering Su Zaizai, Zhang Lurang's "thick shell" of a life finally starts to let light shine through. The acquaintance between the two brings about a wonderful chemical reaction in their lives.

Youthful Love Unleashed

When I Fly Towards is a remarkable play that delves into the different stages of a relationship, showcasing the profound and enduring nature of love. From the exhilaration of love at first sight in high school to the transformative experience of cohabitation after college, and ultimately the commitment of marriage and starting a family, the play takes us on a heartfelt journey.
What truly touches me is the purity and innocence of their young love, a sentiment I personally missed out on. It raises the question: When that spark ignites within you, would you wholeheartedly chase after that person?
Su Zai Zai fearlessly chooses to sprint towards Zhang Lurang, seeking solace in his loving embrace. While some may perceive her actions as overly romantic, I can't help but admire her courage to pursue love, for it is during such moments that love truly becomes genuine.
Their love story is built on a foundation of physical attraction, deepened by their individual talents, and rooted in their characters. These twelve words beautifully encapsulate the essence of Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lurang's love, representing its authenticity and depth.
Lasting love that spans a lifetime is a rarity in reality, and only a fortunate few get to experience it. The majority of people often bear the scars of love's many challenges. Nevertheless, I remain steadfast in my belief that a love like Su Zai Zai and Zhang Lurang's will find its way to someone deserving of its extraordinary beauty.
If we surrender our courage to pursue something beautiful, how can we expect life to reward us with happiness and fulfillment? Although a TV drama's plot may not fully mirror reality, we can draw inspiration and courage from it.
The exceptional performances delivered by the cast allow us to believe that such stories are unfolding somewhere in the world. Bearing witness to these stories is the ultimate testament to their incredible acting abilities.
As the pure and enchanting love story of Jiang Yi and Zhu Ran reaches its conclusion after 24 episodes, my hope lingers for Su Zai Zai, Zhang Lurang, Gu Ran, and Jiang Jia, that they continue to live joyfully in some unseen corner of the world. May those who have weathered the hardships of love find solace and healing through this captivating drama, as it portrays the most exquisite form of love—a mutual and unrestrained pursuit.
The true value of this play lies in its sincerity, passion, and the resounding beats of youth. It serves as a poignant reminder that friendship and familial love are equally significant as romantic love. May these characters forever bask in happiness and bliss, eternally preserving their youthful spirit.
