Easy to watch drama about gaming and space with a great main couple
I wish my Mandarin was better because I think the meaning of some of the banter between Yu Tu and Jing Jing didn't translate well into English so sometimes I got confused but I still really enjoyed watching this show. Despite one of the main characters being a celebrity, the relationship between the ML and FL is surprisingly down to earth and low key. And in terms of conflict, much of it is internal and related to character growth - mainly Yu Tu's struggle between chasing his dreams and having financial stability to support his family, and this struggle to accept his feelings for Jing Jing.I wish that they had talked more about their high school days because I'm so curious about whether Yu Tu had feelings for Jing Jing at all before or if it was entirely one-sided. It seems like right off the bat when they meet again he's willing to go out of his way to spend time with her (ie. commuting hours every single day and tutoring her in gaming) when they've only just met again and they weren't close in high school so I feel like there is some history behind that.
Although it was 32 episodes, I think it's really easy to watch. Their relationship isn't cliched / like the typical romcom, but they have good chemistry and cute banter and although it's cheesy I lived for the moments when Yu Tu's friends found out that he was dating a celebrity hahaha. After they become a couple, it does pick up a lot and I really like their relationship dynamic. He gets to pursue his dreams and she is equally successful and passionate about her career too.
I was definitely not expecting the show to focus so much on space and Yu Tu's job but the transition from gaming to space felt natural.

Wonderful and must watch drama
I didn’t have high expectations for this drama but since it’s Dilraba and Yang Yang, I have to give it a try. I am happy that I watched it. It’s a wonderful drama and is a must watch drama. I like The story because they really captured how tough and exciting the job as an aerospace engineer. Showing that one can be successful even if one doesn’t have a good grades in school. Overall, i love the main leads chemistry. It’s impeccable. The kissing scenes looks so natural. One might think that they are really dating for real. All the casts did an amazing job. I rewatch this drama several times now. Hope to see Dilraba and Yang Yang in a historical drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Don’t like CDramas but…
I’ll be blunt: Cdramas are boring because the story is drawn out for 30-50 episodes so they have to fill the time with useless fluff. Normally I’ll skip 5 episodes here and 5 there without missing any of the important story lines. However, every once in a while, I get pleasantly surprised. In this case, I wasn’t pleasantly surprised, I was blown away!I adored nearly everything about this drama. It was my first time watching Dilbra and YangYang and they…WOW. The story was relatable: finding a way to make your relationship work in your own way. Not everyone has a traditional relationship. I watched every minute of every episode and looked forward to the next one! That is the highest praise that a CDrama can get from me and only a few have achieved it.
If you are like me and don’t care for CDramas…give this one a chance!

Read the novel to enjoy! Leads' on-screen chemistry hot!
Having read the novel years before watching and finding out the production, I loved the slow burn and steady "real people" kind of pace save for the drama having entertainment circle and gaming topics. And as it would if you enjoy reading while in the production on screen it seems dreadingly slow, especially back when I was watching it as it broadcasted.Yu Tu and QJJ have a sweet and sincere pathway in romance and burns into so much chemistry portrayed by Yang and Reba. So much so I ship them together irl off screen. OSTs aren't especially memorable in my opinion but one thing that holds true to me is the honesty to the original novel.
(now if only they had a fate like my CLOY leads lol)

TOTALLY AMAZING!
From the start I’m anticipating this drama knowing Yang2x will be topbilled with Dilraba. I’m a Yang2x fan but not so with Dilraba until Love Designer.The story itself is quite big and a bit different from the normal drama. I was wondering how the drama unfolds with their different status and I was totally shook how the scriptwriter did it. I love how the ML is not the normal cliche kind of character, truly love his flaws and insecurity and how he overcame it. FL character is lovable and not overrated. Love the writer did not make her dumb and annoying which is a typical cliche for Chinese drama.
Yang2x and Dilraba as usual knows their craft so well. They are totally into it and as the story progress as if they bring you to it.
I already rewatch it for the 2nd time and for sure I’ll be rewatching it again and again.
SUPER LOVE IT! VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED!

--- Short Review ---
I intended to write a first Impression post a couple of days ago, yet I never found the opportunity to do this because of work. Notwithstanding, I proceeded with the show lastly completed a week ago!! In general, I truly preferred it much more than I expected and the motivation behind for what reason is on the grounds that it's a long way from resembling your standard effervescent and cutesy iconic drama!Frankly, I was truly drawn more towards Yu Tu than Qiao Jing in the drama. Be that as it may, it wasn't a result of his attractive good looks or handsomeness. It was on the grounds that I felt extremely thoughtful and surprisingly engaging towards his personality.

Love it.
Such a romantic story. Love the fantastic chemistry between Yang Yang and Dilraba in this movie. They are doing wonderful job , able to convey to the audience thru their expressions. They are perfect match, hope to see them work together again in the future.I would say the best drama I ever watched so far. The drama, however, is not too heavy, not too complicated, It has many sweet, heart-warming, mischievous and funny moments. Script is very well written. I would watch it again in the future.

Yang Yang & Dilraba have amazing screen chemistry together, which made the story much more enjoyable and heart warming.Coming from someone who's seen Kings Avatar, and haven't seen any of Dilraba's work prior to You are my glory, I enjoyed the gaming aspect that was part of the plot for the first half of the story.
The first half was primarily about Dilraba's character. The "glory" was Yangs character, while the 2nd half was more about her being his glory.
I can understand those who can relate to China's space race from a sense of pride/honor standpoint, however it was boring story plot direction for myself, but they needed to go towards this route to lean on the "glory" theme.
Overall I enjoyed their chemistry together, and would've loved to see more development of their relationship.

A Very Beautiful Story
I love love love this drama it's hands down the best drama of 2021 for meeAt first the plot seemed a little slow like hello they omly met each other irl after like 4 episodes???? And it was like a mobile legends bangbang gameplay for like 10eps
But these allowed us to feel the slowburn which was like the 10+years wait for them to meet again and start to date
The love story was beautifully depicted by dilraba and yangyang, and the emotions were conveyed extremely well especially during that confession scene at the gas stop
But wow after they cleared up all the misunderstandings it was just romance all the way
I really love how they didnt depict yutu as a successful man at like 30 years old and actually showed us his struggles, makes him an ever real-er character
And QJJ being so famous but still humble and mature was also very 👍👍👍
I suck at like reviewing but i really needed to type this out and give it a solid 10
Rewatch value also 10 for the romance HAHA

One of the best
I thought this was just another fluffy romance C-drama but I was wrong. It is fluffy, but it gives us how a mature stable romantic relationship works between two people. Yu Tu, a genius aerospace engineer, a really passionate man in his field meets Qiao Jingjing, a beautiful superstar who needs help to play game that she endorses. The two share their struggle as a person who has a job with each other with respect and support. In their relationship, no one is above the other, both are equal. I really love the potrayal of the relationship. No drama, no annoying second leads, no playing cats and dogs. In addition, Yang Yang and Dilreba have insane chemistry with each other and both look so so beautiful, watching them on a screen together is such a feast to my eyes.Was this review helpful to you?

Drama from the heart - simple yet moving.
I am unsure how many times I have re-watched the broadcasted episodes. This simple yet moving drama series seems to be very much on-point and suitable for me during this pandemic period where challenges are all round. Plus, this rom com does not follow the usual rich man, poor lady kind of plot. This is my second time watching yang yang after Martial Universe and I have to say he seems to be rather versatile. Raba is oh-so-adorbs in this drama, especially that expression of hers when she asked Yu Tu to beat that Su Lie when she lost out while playing Luna. JJ’s(Raba) so mischievous yet obsequious while dealing with YT’s(Yang Yang) almost nonchalant demeanor while they were gaming. It’s funny to watch and the chemistry between the leads is just awesome! I don’t want to share so much. Watch it! Oh and I am loving the OST so much. :)Was this review helpful to you?
