It's simple, I liked it.
I am usually a skipper when i watch dramas. I'll skip any scene that I find boring. In this drama the only thing i skipped would be the aerospace work discussions and stuff like that. It was a simple developing story with no overbearing CEO vibes. Just a sweet understanding couple, working in different fields working together to maintain a healthy relationship. The main couple is an example of an extremely healthy and loving relationship. TBH i read what some people in the reviews said about inexplicable kisses. But to me it felt like that was to depict their longing for each other. As an actor and a scientist, their jobs require time and they do not have the same amount of time to spend on each other, while they both understand it, they long for each other. I think those might be a way to make Yu Tu and Qiao Jing Jing feel secure in their relationship. It gets hard for people in a relationship that are unable to meet, maybe the kisses are what made them feel whether the passion they once had for their relationship still exists. Like I said gives them a sense of security.Was this review helpful to you?

Looking for a drama with a mature, green flag relationship without unnecessary drama? Watch this
I started this drama on a whim when a few of its clips appeared on my YT fyp - and boy I'm happy they did. I went in without thinking much, my expectations weren't high but they weren't low either. It just so happened that I had been wanting to watch a lighter, more stress free of a drama and YAMG turned out to be just that.I won't make this too long. I really liked how the leads' relationship was drama free and a green flag from start to finish. There was a sense of mutual respect between them which I particularly admire. Major props to Dilraba - she portrayed the FL flawlessly and came across as a cheerful and adorable character without appearing cringy. I love how it was the ML who isn't as financially strong here, and how genuine struggles are portrayed in a more realistic fashion. I did find it odd that he went back to his job instead of opting for the higher paying one but I guess it makes sense for his character. It worked out well for the story anyway. The leads' relationship was developed quite nicely and the best thing was that even though there was no 'drama' per se, it never felt boring. The chemistry was absolutely phenomenal in this one.
I do have to preface that if you're looking for a strong, plot driven drama then you may not want to watch YAMG right now. This was a major chemistry driven drama, plus it's just sweetness all around. A good watch if you want something lighter, unproblematic and stress free.

Realistic story of Cdrama!!!
So far, this is the most realistic contemporary drama I've seen. From the leads' relationship to their careers, and all of the supporting characters. Some of the stories touched me deeply, especially when it came to choosing between your dreams and money.However, don't expect a deep or emotional slice of life plot. This is the epitome of simplicity.
This is a unique drama with a different plot than other dramas, in my opinion. There is no angry ex in your life, no one attempting to murder you by using a criminal, and so on.
This Cdrama is fantastic, and the leads act as if they are in a real-life relationship.

Great drama
You are my glory is one of the best Chinese dramas I ever watched. I have already watched it 3 times already and loved it. A great story and really great moments in the drama. I loved love 020 when I watched it and this is right up there. I am a huge fan of Yang Yang and this for me is one of his best drama series . I love the music and it fits great with the story.The story of a actresses and a normal guy was done before. But this is a new take on it. This is great drama and worth watching.
The ost was great

Chemistry between leads are over the top
I remember watching the drama until episode 11 and got really bored. The front part of the story have lots of gaming and talks on aerospace which kinda bore me out. I decided to take a break from this drama and only came back to it a few weeks later. I started from where I left and surprisingly, the story got better.The chemistry between Dilreba and Yang Yang in this drama is the best I have seen. Just their visuals alone is stunning enough to leave you in awe. The interactions between both felt so real I feel like I'm intruding on their privacy. The storyline was really good too. At least there were no breakups or miscommunication sort of things.
Definitely a must-watch if you enjoy romance drama! The OST is so good too! Only thing I don't really like is the colour grading for the drama. Felt a bit too bright? Idk how to describe.

Good drama
Just watched it and loved it. This is my first review and normally don't write it.I watched it only because I was a fan of Yang Yang especially after I watched love 020.
I have to say this is a better drama. Great music and a good story. The story was different and it shows how you can find that one person that understands you the best.
The ost of the series fits the story line.
The only problem with Chinese and Korean TV series is that most of them have only one season and I hope they can consider making more of this series.
Ths is worth watching not once but a couple of times.

Unexpectedly lovely and tender, this drama is a delightful mix of gaming, aerospace, and actress/idol elements, which initially made me hesitant, but it all seamlessly came together, resulting in a successful narrative exploring dreams versus societal expectations, second chances, growth, and love. The key to its success lies in its high production value, notably impressive visual effects and animation, especially during the gaming sequences. The clever integration of video game characters with 'reality' adds to the charm.In the first half, the drama centers around the game, offering thrilling action scenes and captivating animation. The second half transitions to the aerospace theme, portraying the allure of space with its romanticism, beautiful starlit landscapes, and a sense of the unknown that captivates the audience. The use of soft lighting and dreamy atmosphere, coupled with a stunning OST, enhances the overall experience.
While I initially had reservations about the cast, Yang Yang and Dilraba proved to be perfect choices. Their chemistry on-screen was genuine, and their banter felt natural, making them highly enjoyable to watch. Dilraba's performance showcased her charm and talent, while Yang Yang's intriguing facial expressions kept me engaged throughout. The absence of foolish misunderstandings and excessive angst was a refreshing change, and the obstacles faced by the characters were relatable and well-resolved.
Unexpectedly emotional scenes, such as the second rejection, the wedding, and the successful launch of God Searcher, left a lasting impact and even moved me to tears.
Finally, the drama’s ending felt perfect, tying everything together in a satisfying manner.

Excellent Pairing, Yet Odd Tone
You Are My Glory is an odd mixture between mellow contemplations about careers, and romantic comedy in an opposites attract situation. While I expected levels of upbeat romcom similar to My Little Happiness, I didn’t actually see these type of moments until the last third of the show. The first part is very much dedicated to Yu Tu pondering his career choices and Qia Jing-Jing securing her contract. Do you see the two falling in love slowly with each other? Sure, but it is certainly not the driving force I expected it be. Episode eight through ten even spent much time in the aerospace sphere as Yu Tu and his counterparts attempted to fix an issue with a satellite. Maybe these episodes would resonate with someone interested in the field or hobby, but I found them to be rather lackluster and boring.Once the leads began a relationship with each other in the last third of the show, it more than made up for the slow start and mellow mood. Yu Tu and Quia Jing-Jing, as portrayed by Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat, truly had some excellent chemistry together. Their romance felt genuine and authentic as it evolved from cautious strangers to long time lovers. Honestly, I love the time skips interjected into the series to see their relationship deepen and mature. The two actors played long time lovers really well with tons of skinship. Their ending, both as a couple and as career-minded individuals, was completely satisfying and heartwarming.

Worth the watch!
Great Chinese drama. The leads have good chemistry and their characters are written well. This shows demonstrates two people loving each other a lot and also displays amazing friendship. Great acting. Not much to dislike and it is lighthearted show. Interesting combination between an aerospace engineer and famous actress. The ML is very talented, yet he does not use his talents to his advantage fully. He could choose to be a finance manager or even an actor/influencer where he can make a lot of money, but chooses to do what he loves for little money; while the FL is successful and rich. There are some melodramatic moments, but they do not go overboard and you can understand why the leads do what they are doing and what emotions they are feeling. The premise is interesting, but I admit I did skim through the gaming scenes, because I was not too interested and it felt like an Ad.I really enjoyed the show because the love between the leads and friendship moments were a pleasure. If you liked this show, you would love "Hidden Love", "Fireworks in my Heart", and "Love O2O".

as glorious as the title!!
I will keep this short...Most of the time when I see a hyped drama I start expecting a lot and more often than not it turns out to be disappointing or doesn't live up to the hype...for the first time ever I went in with a lot of expectations ( seeing the rating and hype surrounding the show) and came out 10x times more satisfied than I expected... I have no words to praise how beautiful and well made this drama is...this couple will go down as one of my all time favorite couples and I'm not exaggerating ...their chemistry is insaneeeee...if anyone is on the fence let me tell you not watching this will be a mistake as I'm cursing myself for not watching this sooner !! Absolutely brilliant !!Was this review helpful to you?
Keep reaching for the stars!
Loved everything about this contemporary drama! Acting, storyline, music were all well done. I love anything Diliraba and as this is my first drama with Yang Yang, I was a pleasant surprise and what a good kisser he is 😘😘.The storyline will resonate with a lot of people because it deals with decisions people make and dreams they have. Well done and highly recommended.
I didn't realize how modern Shanghai and Beijing look because I've watched so many period dramas.
Waiting to see what these actors do next!

A nice comfort drama...
Plot Summary:Jing Jing is a celebrity that finds herself needing to prove that she is competent in the video game that she endorses. She finds someone to tutor her, who turns out to be her first love. From video-games, to acting sets in the middle of the desert, to launching rockets into space. This pair will help each other and find true love.
Best of the OST:
This track pretty much carries the OST for the entire drama:
Fireworks of Stars -- Performed by Liu Yuning
https://youtu.be/5TZmZ8h0QU4?si=zMqGrhe5IyZUuSHt
The OST isn’t comprehensive, and doesn’t quite hit greatness, but it goes along lovely with the drama.
Gripes:
Okay, so the premise of this show is wild. If I see that a famous person likes the video game I like, it doesn’t matter how good they are at it. Netizens suck.
Also at some point, the plot went from this video game thing to an advertisement for the Chinese space agency. Luckily they cover a lot of it up with cheesy romance.
Re-watch:
Would I watch it again?
This is a nice comfort drama. There’s a little bit of angst in the middle but I can rush through that on a re-watch.
Would I watch it with my brother?
I could try to convince him, but I think as soon as that gaming part is over, he would be done with it.
Would I watch it with my kid?
I think this would be a good drama to watch with my daughter.
Final Thoughts:
If you can look past the extreme Chinese nationalism (fair enough, it’s a C-drama), the crazy premise of the need for the couple to meet each other, and the nothing-burger argument that made no sense in the middle, the rest of this drama is absolutely delightful. A warm and fuzzy romance that keeps you wanting more.
My Rating:
8.2/10
