YOU ARE EACH OTHER'S GLORY. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP GOALS. LOVEO20 DESTROYED.

This is one of the most adult, heartwarming and mature drama i've ever watched.
This is not the classic romance cdrama with slowburn relationship, it's a full deepening in real life struggles and dreams.
This is not just about love but how they built the relationship throughout the years. She supported him and i love how secure they made it each other feel the moment the started dating. Theyre both each others' glory. This drama gives us the warm feeling of feeling love, being loved. I love how imperfect they are that perfect for each other. This drama follows very closely the novel by Gu Man.
Love changes their perspective. They support each other until the end. Loving each other, still being perfectly imperfect together, but being the best version of themselves.
The problems they have are never childish and easily avoidable, but valide issues about their own lives and their relationship.
Yang Yang and Dilraba's chemistry is on point, and real. They are clearly deeply involved and connected ( onscreen and offscreen). They hug and and continue holding onto each other walking around the kitchen, or give pecks or forehead kisses. The portrayal is like a real life couple in the 30s act. This a the kind of chemistry that cant be faked, it's too overwhelming.
The only thing we can consider "negative" is that Yu Tu at the beginning has not quite changed, his insecurities, his bothers, his prejudices towards Jing Jing are still there.
I started this drama only because trailers showed a real chemistry. This is my first drama with Dilraba, and Yang Yang is not my cup of tea as actor.
But i admit, this time he proved me totally wrong.
I liked Jing Jing, she's strong-willed but cute like every girl. She knows what she wants but she is human, she had doubts and sorrows.
My greatest surprise was Yu Tu. Since i hated Ruo bai, Ye Xiu and Xiaonai ( with abusive relationship in Loveo2o), i bet that Yu Tu could be another copycat. I was wrong.
This is the first time i really felt warmth from one of his characters, warmth and humanity.
Yu Tu is perfectly imperfect. Yu Tu is smart, but he has problems, doubts, sorrows, and a lot of feeling. A cold-iced character is emotionless, an introvert one has difficulties in expressing feelings.
Yu Tu is an introvert man who struggles for his dreams facing reality, and he gradually melts. I really appreciated it.

It's true that gaming parts, tv shows parts and the aerospacial one can be boring, but they are still important in the story. The focus in not the love relationship. but the growth of the main characters.
I suggest this for Yang Yang fans, even though it's not enough for me to like him and i still dislike him.
