A realistic modern love story
AHHH, I can't believe this is over. There are love stories, and then there's You are My Glory. Where do I start?
THE STORY
Absolutely love that the storyline was more mature and more realistic. The story of unrequited love in high school and then the chances of meeting again years later, it's not new, but it's realistic which therefore makes it more relatable. The debate of having to choose your dream career or choosing a path that earns you stability is also another great and relatable side story. But overall, I love that it wasn't all about the female lead, in fact, I love that they put more focus on the ML and it was about his career path and journey and she was really his support. I'm not saying he wasn't there for her either especially during the initial gaming sessions and following her on those work trips, but it was definitely a lot more to do with her belief in him since in high school and helping him realise that which I love! They say "behind a great man is always a greater woman" and this was exactly what I felt in this story.
THEIR CHARACTERS
I loved all the small details about their relationship, like how witty she is and how attentive he was. There are full of CP moments in this. It was the small details like the way he hugs her and embraces her with his hands holding her head, like OMG, my heart couldn't stop fluttering. All the forehead kisses and actual kisses — there was no shortage of that. It just showed how much care went into filming these scenes. But I love how frank QJJ was, she wasn't always afraid to say what she felt and wasn't afraid of what others would think. Even in real life, I think YY and DR had such good off-screen chemistry which is what made their relationship on-screen that much more desirable. You can't help but ship them!
THE PRODUCTION
Superb production! The scenes flowed really well and I heard even Yang Yang directed a few of those scenes. You can tell they put a lot of effort and thought into putting this film together.
Overall it's a great story, Funnily enough, my favourite scenes aren't all the sweet CP moments, it would have to be Episode 15 - when QJJ professes her love again and gets rejected and 16 - when Yu Tu finally realises he made the mistake of letting her go and they way he breaks down and tells Zhai Liang 'not to blame her, cause it was his fault', ohhh that pulled my heart strings. But Episode 30 when he re-proposes to her and episode 32 when he calls her at the end to say thank you for all her sacrifices—you can see so much heart and soul go into his words. I think Yang Yang is a great actor and I must say I absolutely loved Dilireba in this, it was far beyond her kid-like, squeaky voiced characters she'd play in the past. I think from her roles in The Long Ballad and now this, has really shown what she's capable of.
Would definitely recommend it!
