2. When I Run Towards You
Although the script is not too impressive and new, When I Run Towards You is still extremely hot, leaving a big impression on the audience, especially young people thanks to its youthful breath.
When I Run Towards You tells the story of To Tai Tai (Truong Mieu Di) falling in love with his classmate Truong Luc Nhuong (Chu Duc Nhien) at first sight.
Everyone in their youth wants Truong Luc Nhuong, but don’t miss the warm and delicate guy Co Nhien.
The beauty of When I Run Towards You is not in the dramatic details or profound script, but in the depiction of a pure, innocent student age.
