A Mesmerizing Drama
I did not start this drama on an expectant note as I had just finished watching You Are My Hero and thought that nothing could have surpassed that. Further more I was not taken by the first episode of YAMG as I thought the introduction song had such a comical background and JingJing seemed like a childish person. However the story developed and I was totally mesmerised. The pair of leads had amazing chemistry and YangYang portrayed Yu Tu's anguish so well that I could feel the heartache. Even though there are only 32 episodes and each episode is short, I felt that there were 2 subsequent sections to the drama - the gaming section which lead to a big built-up (very exciting) of the game and to the couple's interactions and the second section, the consummation of their relationship. The portrayal of the aerospace industry may seemed a little draggy but it is important to give the background to the work that drives Yu Tu. JingJing's seemingly childish character goes to show her sincerity and generosity. My initial lack of enthusiasm for the opening soundtrack changed as I now could relate to the dreamlike background to enforce the dreams that Yu Tu has of conquering the stars. Overall the drama is totally mesmerising and I can watch it all over again!
