Nostalgic high school story

High school is the time when teenagers explore things, hang out with friends, and figure out what they want to do with life.

Even though students are told to always focus on their studies, When I Fly Towards You showed that teenagers should enjoy their youth, find time to have fun, spend time with friends, and learn things outside of school.

Pressure from parents

Even though this story is a light romance, it shows another realistic side. This drama showed how some teenagers experience pressure from their parents to do well at school.

Lu Rang grew up in a family where he must be the best. If he didn’t get a high grade or had the highest grade in his year, his mother would scold him and compare him to his brother.

Being in a circle of people where you can find comfort helps you to appreciate yourself more. Plus, they’ll be people you want to take care of aside from your family.
