You Are My Glory

I was not prepared to love it as much as I did. Watching this was like having a hot cup of tea in a cold winter day. I loved every se cod of it, the plot, the characters, their relationships. Watching it with a silly smile in my face.

I’m a new fan of Dili Reba and Yang Yang, I was very impressed with them.

> Sensible , Modern and Practical romance portrayed in three decades of life

A narcissistic studious young bloke rejects a lovable young lady due to misjudgement ... fast forward to a decade ... the lad discovers the reality of the world and despite being smart is on the verge of abandoning his dreams.. the girl who only dreamed of supporting his dreams is living a dream life as most lovable actress and now meets the lad again to face hurdles together and they develop feelings... rest is history.

This is my first C-drama ; although it didn't have enough pull as Crash Landing on You that forayed my entry to Korean dramas; it is a pleasant watch and I will be comparing some aspects of the show which are well done compared to some typical K-dramas.



Pros :
- The chemistry between the leads are off the chart & how breathtaking they look every-time... The skin-ships are just so detailed, the small small things count, I like how they portray how real couple acts when they r in luv, like how they just can’t get their hands off each other, those eye contacts, etc...
- No 2nd leads! Yes there were 1ex for each of them, but they appeared briefly just for a closure, no annoying moment like the second leads and their evil plots or interaction with opposite leads and the exs
- No breakup! I love how healthy relationship this couple have... the angst came a bit only before they get together, but afterwards it’s happy relationship till the end... it’s a light fluffy romance... when needed break they were mature about it and didn't immediately reconcile when the other apologizes .. they learnt from their mistakes and adapted well
- No cliche moments (like accidental fall n kiss stuff)... what happens to them feels like a normal people relationship...
- The cinematography, the directing, the music, the editing, the wardrobe are all amazing!
- Good casts... There are people in there that I have never seen before but will remember and all support characters are basically angels xxx
- How it focuses on just getting in to relationship but evolving into [spoiler] marriage and beyond [/spoiler]. Ep24 is the highlight for me ; those Long Distance Relationship - AI text goals and Ep26 the scene that got me into the show by an MDL article about Umbrella shielding the jealousy lol

Cons:
- First half is promoted by a Tencent Game and second half by Chinese Aerospace agencies. I am not kidding ; if you don't care about the promotional agenda about Motherland and the comparison with West you can skip them
- Like there is no conflict; as someone who is used to conflict in K-dramas like evil Second leads , Work Jealousy and evil Parents/Manager. Its impractical to be blessed with such wonderful colleagues , parents and importantly an idol manager who doesn't care about money
- The chinese paparazzi are harmless and at somepoint i event felt the ML gets more heads turned than the FL.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the drama but since I am a newbie to C-drama and chinese unlike Korean drama the enjoyment factor has dropped down as i need to follow subtitle more . I would defintely re-watch it i get into the habit of watching more C-dramas and learn some chinese .

P.S : Amazon Prime is missing the crucial Ep.30 [spoiler] with marriage scenes [/spoiler] so find other source for that episode or complain to amazon.
