My Post Drama Depression is super real
I watched YAMG without much expectations but the fluff got me really good, as expected from Gu Man!!! The build up is slightly long, like a slow burn that sort of drama but I live for the interaction of the two ML and FL so much I could cry T_T I think this series will live in my head rent free for awhile longer.. I remember reading another review that said that even the manager and side characters don't have their full names revealed, which meant that the drama was heavily focused on these two main leads - which I noticed actually helps with the plot to an extent.I think its just a super cute series because it involved accurate game information (which ws apparently because they were sponsored by wzry too i think), and as someone who loves romance and games this is definitely rather high on the list for me ;w;;

YALL GO WATCH IT!!!
First thing first, the reason I decided to watch this drama was definitely because of their visuals. Their visuals are seriously no jokes. Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat are just too perfect.Now let's be serious here, why you should watch this drama, you may ask.
At first, I feel like the flow of the drama is a bit quite slow, but it's understandable because in this story the mains are at their 30s, which means they are all adults and mature, so they are not going to fall in love easily like yk those kinda teen dramas. Therefore, they need their time to develop and get to know each other. And I have to say that it's very realistic compare to our life.
About their relationship, I believe that their relationship is the heathiest rela I've ever watch. There are no arguments, no misunderstanding and especially no stupid breakup. I feel like almost every dramas including cdrama and kdrama, most of the time, one of the main will decided to break up because they want to "solve the problem" or something like that. But I think a good rela is where 2 people together solve it, right? So if you want to watch a soft, calming drama this is perfect for you.
Last but not least, I love bout this drama is that the ways both the mains know how to maintain their relationship and keep the balance between their love, thier job and their friendship with other people. You can understand their relationship as "make it private but not a secret".

Sweet Romance ❤️❤️❤️
Tip - please do not stop watching- this drama started with slowburn romance. But everything will change after 15 episodes. Keep watching till the end and it will satisfy you to the max. No more game, Hot scene romance comedy all in one.Slowburn romance, healthy relationship and awesome story plot. The chemistry between Yang Yang and Dilriba is just on another level. Their intimate scene felt so genuine and makes you wonder if they are really in the relationship. Their visuals is crazy as well. Guys, please dont doubt and watch this drama. The ealier episodes go deeper in their career, games, ambitions and deep feeling. Mid to the end episode is the best of the best, full of romance and comedy yet still realistic, you will be smiling all the time and keep wanting more of their sweet romance. The best c-drama so far me. There’s no dragging and the plot were so smooth. Recommended. I wish there will be more YangDi pair project in future.
P/s: Those who give bad rating only watch few episodes and it’s too bad they missed out the best thing in c-drama. Good drama must have variance flow and realistic. And this is definitely one of it!

perfectly depicts a healthy relationship
It’s common to think that dramas with only a couple will be slightly boring as there are many dramas with multiple couples to keep the story going so as to fill in enough episodes. However, this drama shows how having only one couple can be amazing too.I really love the relationship between JingJing and YuTu, both so understanding and trusting of each other. JingJing is also super adorable and lovely!!! Reba really did a good job portraying this character. Tbh, I didn’t finish any of her previous shows but this one is really good, definitely recommend! She’s so attractive. YangYang also portrayed the character well, and is also very charming.
Though I have to admit that there were many times when I cringed during their PDA. Though sweet, I couldn’t really handle their PDA. Hahaha, but if you could overlook these scenes, it’s really an enjoyable one. The plot was really good too, no unnecessary drama to drag the storyline.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama and would recommend if you enjoy a simple yet cute drama!

Where can I find myself a Yu Tu?
This drama is everything I didn't know I needed and more. Healthy relationship?... Setting boundaries when needed?... No unnecessary drama...? Realistic story...? Check, check, and check all the way!I loved it so much it's like I'm not even sure how to express how I'm feeling right now.
Now while the producers almost satisfied all my (non-chaotic) drama wishes, I feel like I'm still left wishing for something more at the end. Maybe this is what reality is supposed to feel like and life doesn't have a perfect bow-tied ending. Or maybe I just can't come to terms with the fact that it's over? Anyway, here I am in tears both in love and devastated.
I highly recommend this drama to anyone who needs a break from all those grandiose stories that might sound fresh at first but end up being a mess with too many twists.
This has deep messages, great acting, and a simple but meaningful story.

Life is too short for stressful drama.
Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?Summary of the series:
- Light hearted rom/com; series had great flow
- simpatico characters
- villains are kept at bay easily, no long struggles, calamity or miscommunications to cause more drama and stress
- love how the series dont stop when the ML/FL get together. The series continues. We seldom find this where you get to enjoy the happiness for a few more episodes after they become a couple.
- ending was not done succinctly, so glad no rush endings like lots over series
By far one of my fav of all time since I like joyful, stressless series: recommended to watch for sure
If you are looking for gratuitous stress/drama, frequent miscommunications, abrupt ending, insipid side stories, then this is not for you.

Expected Nothing Less from Gu Man
Both Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat's acting abilities shine bright in this drama. Acting alone deserves a watch. Gu Man's story telling never falls to impress me. While Love O2O, is a sweet early college love story this is a mature drama. It's nice seeing the female lead already know herself and very clear where she stands both in her job and her own feelings, while the Male lead is the one confused and lost on an uncertain path he doesn't fully understand. Both characters shine in their own right but also like the chemistry it's the real personal moments of encouragement and questions being asked in the dialogue that make this drama relatable especially to people who are in their late 20's and beyond. The uncertainty in life, and striving to work towards your dreams even after time has sunk in, hit close to home for me.I highly recommend this drama. Gu Man didn't disappoint and Yang Yang and Dilraba's acting in this is some of their best I have seen.
This drama is honestly the first one that made me feel sad and alone...it was a weird feeling to have. Still don't know how I feel about that...

Should you watch this drama?
So there is a high chance that you might be wondering if you should watch this drama. My answer is YES because this drama is actually really unique. You are my glory is a romantic story between a top actress and an aerospace engineer. I think with this description, you might be expecting a very cliche plot with maybe reversed "rich girl poor boy roles"... but it's not at all like that.This drama is beautifully scripted and has a great pace. I especially love the pace of this drama from episode 15 onwards. At the start, you might find that the drama is focused on gaming but that's the uniqueness of this drama. It's very versatile with many subthemes and as the drama progresses, so does the main theme. There is a focus on gaming, acting, aerospace engineering, space curiosity, friendship, romance (of course!), and for the first time in a long time, no unnecessary drama!
You won't find evil mean characters, backstabbing ex's, unnecessarily prolonged dramatic events, or plots that annoy your brain. Instead, you would find two very sensible, realistic, and mature characters with their own respective lives and their journey towards each other and how they fall in love. They have different friends (adding many new characters to the mix), they live different lives (but in a good way), they have their own special place in their hearts for careers (they work really hard and still maintain a healthy work-life balance), they also have really nice/sweet families who are really supportive, and just adorable scenes that would make one's heart flutter or at least make you giggle (which is a must because it's a romantic drama!).
So this is my conclusion... I seriously suggest that you watch it and give it a try. It's a really good drama that I came across after a long time. Hope my review helps!

A good drama with amazing chemistry
I watched this drama after seeing the clip clip on TikTok. I've wanted to watch Yang Yang's drama for a long time, it's just that nothing suits my taste yet.In my opinion, the first episode is still quite general, but it is quite a 'hook' for me to continue watching the next episodes. From the start, this drama has determined that outer space will be its main focus. I feel that in this drama the topic of outer space is reviewed, not only as a sweetener for romance. At first, it was quite confusing because episodes 1-10, it was mostly filled with playing games, but in my opinion, it was quite interesting, our initial episode was given a fairly light flow. After entering dozens of episodes, this drama has just shown a plot that is starting to get serious but can still be enjoyed and doesn't make us think hard.
In my opinion, the flow of this drama is also quite neat, although in some parts it is sometimes a little slow. But for me, who is very new to the Yu Tu profession, the explanation given is quite an illustration, even though some terms are still not understandable. To be honest, I often watch Chinese dramas that tend to be light and start plots from high school. This is the second Chinese drama that I watched with a plot that didn't start in high school, and it was quite refreshing because the demeanor wasn't heavy either.
I think the most interesting thing about this drama is that the conflicts raised are common conflicts that often occur in the real world but are not discussed too often in dramas. Yu Tu becomes insecure when he is with Jing Jing. In fact, from the start, we have shown that Yu Tu is quite insecure about his job. He takes pride in his work, he also loves his job. But the demands from the environment make him feel less valuable, this is because he doesn't have enough income according to society's standards, and also doesn't have enough time. And this is also a strong reason why Yu Tu rejects Jing Jing for the second time. I think this is one of the toughest conflicts that happen in the real world, and I like the way Yu Tu is finally able to fight his insecurities without trying to bring Jing Jing down to his class.
The problems that Yu Tu and Jing Jing face are real problems that often occur in the real world, especially for couples who are both pursuing careers. Even though it seems difficult to have the same ending as this drama if it happened in real life, I think this drama can be a reference and lesson for adults in starting a relationship. As Yu Tu said, a relationship will not work if one party feels that they are always making sacrifices.
I think the relationship between the two in this drama depicts the relationship between two adults. Both Yu Tu and Jing Jing both understood each other's preoccupations. Both of them always try to support each other. They do this not because they sacrifice themselves to maintain a difficult relationship, but because they want their partner to be a better person.
I like it because the two main characters in this drama are consistent until the end of the drama but still have developments. Like Yu Tu's character who was often insecure from the start, actually, until the end, Yu Tu was also often insecure, but Yu Tu at the end was far more optimistic about the world and himself. Likewise, Jing Jing from the beginning was indeed quite a confident person, and until the end, Jing Jing was always a light for the people around her.
And there's something I like about this drama, which is when they talk about how smart people in class weren't as rich as normal people in school. This drama shows that the definition of success cannot only be measured by money. Sometimes there are achievements that not everyone can understand but you want to achieve them. Because like the title of this drama, that's your Glory. Until the end, Yu Tu's income will never be greater than Jing Jing's, but Yu Tu's pride as a spaceman will never be lost because of that.
And one more thing that is very special and I like this drama. The chemistry between Yang Yang and Dilraba is truly insane. I feel like the two of them are a couple because both of them act very naturally and well. This is both very good and 'bad'. It's very good because I enjoyed this drama from beginning to end, but it's very bad. I haven't been able to enjoy another Yang Yang and Dilraba's dramas because I still think about Yu Tu and Jing Jing.
I feel that Yu Tu is one of the most 'green flag' characters in Chinese dramas. I feel that Yu Tu has pretty good emotional control, he is also the type of person who thinks before he acts. Yu Tu was polite and always asked permission first whenever he wanted to do something. Yu Tu is a good colleague and has high empathy. When watching this drama, I want to have Yu Tu in the real world :') but I'm sure I won't be able to become Jing Jing in the real world. Jing Jing is an extraordinary woman. Jing Jing is truly a sincere and courageous person. Jing Jing is very bright both intellectually and emotionally. I think Yu Tu's world is much brighter after meeting Jing Jing. Jing Jing is light for Yu Tu. And they are both perfect for each other.

A swoony romance
You Are My Glory is the story of Yu Tu a Space Engineer who -at 30 yo- is experimenting a life crisis as he's torn between staying in his field -which despite being his dream career isn't lucrative, or going into Finance.It's also the story of Qiao Jing Jing an A list star who has been embroiled in a scandal because she is not good at playing the video game she endorses and now has to prove her worth in an upcoming event.
Both of them were classmates in high school and meet again after 10 years through the video game and that's how the romance will unfold...
I wasn't expediting anything the first time I watched this drama as I didn't really know the actors but I was enthralled by the story which is simple but mature.
The characters don't have silly misunderstandings and the problems faced by the ML can resonate with many.
On one hand, 30 years old can be seen as being a crossroad, a point in which it might be the last chance for one to change the course of their career.
On another hand, with the ML's character, the drama highlights the struggle it can be to not be able to become a "good enough" provider because one doesn't work in a lucrative field.
Despite these messages, the drama stays simple and sweet. There is no love triangle or silly misunderstandings. The apparition of the exes could easily be blink and misses - their characters aim to show what the main leads don't want in their partners and what they are not ready to give up for a relationship.
The main leads' relationship is swoon worthy and sweet. I loved their banters and the way their mutual interest and relationship built steadily.
Dilraba and Yang Yang have great chemistry and I just loved watching them on screen.
Loved the OST. Especially Fireworks and Stars which became personal favourites of mine.
I give this drama a strong 10 because it's the second time I'm watching this drama and I still love it as much as the first time.

Peaceful watch, no heartache, no dreaminess
There isn't a major drama that goes on, the relationship build between the characters seemed quiet natural. I did like how adult their relationship was. The part about gaming and the specific about space went over my head so I skipped those parts. I don't think the viewers needed such in depth explanation on the game. The Sponsorship fee must have been very very high to be featured in so many episodes.I watched this live and followed it every week and this was a drama I didn't think about after the episode ended. There are certain dramas where I obsessed on what's going to happen next but it didn't happen with this.
There are a few funny scene peppered in that kept me watching. Like thee AI girlfriend, the desert WiFi, meeting the parents for the first time.
I think this the the first Yang Yang drama that I tolerated. What is with him and game related dramas anyway... Somehow, the chemistry between them didn't come across to me. Yang Yang was way to stoic.
In conclusion, an okay watch. Something I won't watch again. Ask me what the characters' names are in a few weeks and I'm guessing I won't remember.

Best role of Yang Yang
I have a love/hate relationship with Yang Yang. He’s surely handsome but his acting is very stiff and repetitive. He is a good kisser though so with the right partner and script, it can make the drama spicer. That’s what happened with You’re my glory. The romance between the female and male leads is refreshing and mature. I really liked the story and the fact that the man questions himself in his 30s; should I live my dream or make more money? Should I be in a relationship or should I focus on my career? I think we all put our lives in questions the same way at some point, and it makes you reflect on your own life somewhat. i personally could relate so it made the storyline very plausible and solid for me. And on top of it the short 32 episodes made the drama easy to binge watch, which was a plus.Was this review helpful to you?
