FOR ME, this was THE MOST PERFECT ROM-COM I HAVE EVER WATCHED.

Let me begin with 2 words, YANG YANG. This man is perfection. HIS VOICE, HIS FACE, HIS BODY, and most importantly HIS SWAGGER. (He can GET IT!!!!!!)

Dilraba has always been one of my Favorite top 5 - C-Drama actresses. I will watch anything she stars in. She is just a natural. She sucks you in with every character she portrays.

Yang Yang + Dilraba= Out of this world chemistry. (I so want to see them in another drama)

I knew from the 1st episode that this was going to be good. I just knew. I binge watched this series in two days. Normally with dramas over 30 episodes you know its gonna become "laggy" and that you will probably have to skip through a lot of episodes. Not this one baby! You will find yourself dreading the coming of the next episode because its means that your time with this magical couple is ending!

The drama in this drama made sense! It was believable and relatable. Some complain that there were too many love scenes between the leads...Pfft (let me wash your mouth out with soap).

In my opinion there weren't enough. I am greedy as He** and I wanted more.

The supporting cast was just right. NO annoying sub-storylines that no one even cares about and would have to fast forward over. Shanghai is a beautiful city, and this drama displayed the modernity of this cosmopolitan city.

You will not waste your time on this drama. If you are looking for something to make you FEEL GOOOOOOOD. Then look no further than YOU ARE MY GLORY!

It was like Torture!

If there was one character that truly needed a voice dubbing , it was this female lead character. The whining and childish prattle got on my nerves real quick. Normally I will try to look past it, but I just couldn't this time and just decided to fast forward over it.

I have nothing against the actress personally, but she was just not the right actress to play this part and there was just no chemistry between her and the ML to even make me want to root for them to get together. The actress in the 2nd lead to me is much more suited for this type of role.

I watched the first 3 episodes without skipping but the show was so slow, I started skipping at episode 4 and completed the rest of the episodes in about two hours. I skipped through most of the series only to reach an ending that was ridiculous. I am so glad that I did not invest emotionally in this drama. I mostly watched it for the male lead, because I loved him from the untamed series. This series although beautifully filmed, was poorly written and not worthy of the acting talent brought together for this series. For the amount of talent that this filmed pulled, I expected a better product, but even great actors cannot overcome poor writing.

Another Zhou Lusi HOME RUN!

I watched LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY on Viki before watching this series on NETFLIX. Zhou Lusi is a NATIONAL TREASURE. I thought her and Leo Wu gave me fever, but her and Yang Yang, DAYUM! They kissed only once in this series, but my gosh, the chemistry between these two comes through your screen. Lusi would have chemistry with a rock if it was her leading man. Then there is Yang Yang! The word quiet sexy was invented for this man, it just was.

Okay what did I like about the story:
1) I loved that they were always there for each other and to save each other/
2) ML+ FL we both smart and sensical.
3) Great supporting cast - Solid acting company- Strong female characters
4) They didn't spend too much time on a particular story arc, the story kept moving
5) Beautiful cinematography
6) Great Special Effects
7) Beautiful costumes
8) Musical score fit the characters and story.

What I disliked:
1) Killing off characters I like - C-Drama Staple that I HATE
2) Too many battle scenes with killing - became redundant after a while
3) That bittersweet ending - middle finger to the writer who came up with that curve ball at the end.

Overall, I don't regret one minute of watching this wonderful series and I highly recommend this drama. I will definitely watch again.

An unexpected SURPRISE!

Just finished watching this series on You Tube. It was in my recommendation feed. This series although short packed a punch. Like many of you, I fell in love with the ML He is so Freaking Cuteee! His Smile is EVERYTHING. I Liked the FL as well. Strong , Smart, don't take no S**t from nobody kind of heroine. There some missing holes, It wasn't clear at first if this was one of those " We switched souls/bodies kind of series", but it was. Loved everything up until the Zombie in the Mountain trash. The series stumbled there. The reconciliations with her siblings/family were nice. The attempted Assassination of the King at the end of S! made no sense, and the ending...her throwing herself in the lake after she discovered his identity made no sense based on the prior development of the FL. That was a big disappointment to me. From What I am hearing S2 will no be so good. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the 3hrs and 05 minutes it took to watch the entire series. I would still recommend if you ae looking for something enjoyable to watch.

Don't know what happened with this one

The series started quite strong but turned into a cliché. We struggle through numerous episodes for the couple to love each other and be together only to have the heroine turn into a fool. She gives up the man she loves to be with her dying mother. Throws him away because she can't love two people at the same time. DUMB. The soundtrack was memorable and fit the storytelling. The supporting characters were uninteresting, skipped over a lot of those stories. The ending felt rush and by the end, I frankly did not care how it ended. I don't plant on re-watching this drama.

It was good until it wasn't

I have nothing new to say. I was enjoying it up until Episode 14, and then I put in on pause for about two months. I went back to watch the last two and a half episodes so that I could remove it from my Netflix watch list. I then cried for 2 1/2 episodes. The original soundtrack from this series is the best gift you will receive. It will yank your heart strings. I don't think I will ever re-watch but I have wasted my time on worse dramas.

I may be in the minority, but I loved the ML lead. He is so fricking cute and he is a solid actor. I have never seen him in a drama before. I loved his size. He is a tall dude compared to the actress being so small. I thought their chemistry was so heartwarming. I felt the love the characters had for each other.

I liked it. I didn't love it. But I liked it.
