YAMG: The Glory of Chinese Romance Drama

I've never been so invested in a drama that I didn't hesitate to pay for early access on its episodes.

This drama feels so raw.

How do I explain how exceptional this drama is? There is not much conflict but everything is well executed that there is no boring scene.

This is one of the best representation of slice of life x romance genre in the history of modern Chinese drama. Celebrity x normal character is a common pairing; but YAMG executed it with no exaggerations. It's just enough to show how things are going on with their daily life. Perfectly blended.

What else about the story that makes it so special? There is no secondary couple that would make you feel like they're actually better than the lead characters. The romance of the main leads is just enough to make you binge watch and crave more.

Yang Yang & Dilireba's chemistry is off the charts - they are made for this drama. It's like they came out from the novel. They look so good together! TT TT

The production team aced of this drama too, sometimes I feel like I'm watching a movie. It's just sooo high tier.

The OST is also perfect! Whenever the intro OST is being played as BGM on Yu Tu & Jingjing's scenes, my heart melts.

Yu Tu's brightest star; and Yu Tu is Jingjing's universe. They found the glory within each other.

You Are My Glory is THE modern chi drama of 2021.

Too Good To Be True

I had high expectations on this drama.

It started out great, but ended up crappy. I was disappointed with FL's character, there was no character development. Her character confused me that it started to annoy me. She's too gullible, naive, and childlike. Imo it's not a good pair with ML & 2nd ML's characters.

As for the romance part, idk, I'm not feeling the chemistry. It felt forced, and I feel like the drama can continue with just a subtle touch of romance.

There are still questions left unanswered, but I guess that's how historical dramas work. Though I was really surprised with the ending huh, it's a new concept of open ending lol

Still, kudos to all the casts especially to Kwak Shiyang & Gong Myung!
