An average drama (weak without the main CP) with a huge POLITICAL ISSUE

"You are my glory" is a 100% adaptation of the original novel. For fans of the novel or fans of the main couple in particular, this can be a perfect match. However, for me - a fan of the original, not a fan of the main actor/actress, a former film critic - this work is relatively weak in terms of cinematography. The storytelling is a listing of events from the original novel, but lacks the climactic elements that should have in a drama. The length of the film was also cut shorter than the usual length to pull up to 32 episodes, showing that the content is not too rich. This type of instant film is only suitable for web dramas, which is weaker than a standard tv drama. Compared to some other web dramas, the storytelling of this series is also poorer. What attracts views is basically the main high-visual CP and their romantic scenes. Dilraba and YY's acting is only at the level of acceptable, not excellent, with good interaction.

In the original, the game part is what I like most (but boring in the film) while in the drama, the best part is the aerospace scenes because of its professionalism. However, immediately, I realized this part definitely has the backing of the Chinese government, and the political intrigue is too obvious. The illegal 9-dashed map is embedded multiple times in this series. If you don't have the necessary political knowledge, especially if you are an audience from countries that own a part of the South China Sea, you have been warned. Do not support a product that the Chinese government uses to claim sovereignty over the entire South China Sea which is shared by more than 5 different countries in the region.
