Flying with You

About This Movie

Flying with You is a curious mix of romance and drama, centering around the unexpected bond between a wealthy heiress and her kidnapper. Jang Nara's portrayal of He Qianqian is quite captivating. The way she navigates her forced captivity with a blend of vulnerability and resilience adds a layer of complexity to the character. Jimmy Lin, as Xu Yifan, brings a certain charisma to the role of the paraglider who crashes into her life—both literally and figuratively. The film leans into its outdoor settings, with some practical effects during the flights that feel refreshingly tangible. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it builds a dreamy atmosphere that eventually gives way to the development of their romance, which feels both genuine and a bit improbable, yet somehow works.
