Good soup
an actual adult relationship depicted, Dilraba did great, Yang Yang not so much. I love Qiao JingJing, she was everything.I’ve watched a lot of Cdramas now since I started this year and it’s weird how they just take shxt from their elders simply because of that. I understand respect but they cross the line a lot and it irks me. Yu Tu’s teacher had no right guilt tripping him everyday as if. I also didn’t feel like Yu Tu actually loved his job, that wasn’t portrayed to me at all.
There were some very unnecessary boring episodes, I’m not here for a lecture on space exploration skip Eps 15-19. Overall, it was still a very enjoyable drama, I just like to elaborate on the annoying points. I enjoyed it much more by the 2nd watch

Sweet, Pure, Supportive Love
I had no idea what You Are My Glory was about, however I recognized the male lead as the lead in Love O2O (which I'm sorry to say I still haven’t watched to date welp). Coming out of this show though, and I’m just stunned by how much this show has made me fall in love with love again.You are My Glory Review- Sweet, Pure, Supportive Love
I give this crazy good show a 9.5/10. This show was a ball of sweetness, it was pure, supportive and mature. It fulfilled every checkbox that I look for in a romance. The main characters have the healthiest relationship once they get together, they talk about all their feelings, they understand each other, and stay supportive of each other in their busy life-styles. The premise of this show was fun with the one character being an aerospace engineer and the other one being a full-blown famous celebrity, however, their healthy attitudes and supportive nature made the show just a delight to watch.
My review of this show lost 0.5 only because close to the end of the show they kept having so many time jumps, and also in the beginning of the show I felt Yang Yang’s acting felt a bit too stiff.
This show, all in all, was just a sweet, pure, supportive romance between two green flagged characters that starts with a rejection when they were in highschool and 10 years later it blooms into a full-blown cute relationship.
This show is a must-watch for romance watchers who love supportive relationships with little misunderstandings, a lot of kissing, and a love story that transcends generic romance.
BEWARE OF SPOILERS MOVING FORWARD!
What Episode did the Main Couple Start Dating?
Yu Tu and Qiao Jing Jing officially start dating in Episode 21. They also get married in episode 30 in a group wedding run by the aerospace industry.
Yu Tu actually rejects Qiao Jing Jing again in Episode 15, since he feels that he can’t be the best boyfriend for her since he decided to stay in the aerospace industry. However, after both of them dread about it for at least 3 episodes, he decides to attempt to woo her back.
He asks her out in Episode 20, but she doesn’t give a definitive answer as she is afraid he will break her heart. However, in Episode 21 she finds out that he did fulfill her wish of getting a Penta Kill for her birthday and he came rushing to her at the karaoke bar high school reunion to keep attempting his luck. She accepts him then and thus begins their cutesy relationship.
Misunderstandings?
There is a bit of misunderstanding between Episode 15 to Episode 18, as Qiao Jing Jing doesn’t understand why Yu Tu rejects her again. However, this time was needed for Yu Tu to grow some balls LOL aka gain some confidence and pursue her.
Why does Yu Tu reject Qiao Jing Jing both times?
Yu Tu rejects Qiao Jing Jing in highschool because he was very naive and felt like the girl he should date should be as intelligent as him with more future prospects.
He rejects her again in the future because he feels that his job in the aerospace industry is not well paying, and he will always be busy and won’t have time to care and love her properly.
Love Triangles?
There are no love triangles.
In the beginning of the show, they introduced us to Yu Tu’s ex-girlfriend, who is also a highschool classmate of both Yu Tu’s and Qiao Jing Jing. She has come back to try to win Yu Tu back, however, she was unsuccessful extremely early on and we never see her again.
Qiao Jing Jing’s ex also shows up at her door one day, yet leaves when he sees Yu Tu. He tries his luck again after the mobile gaming competition, however, Qiao Jing Jing sticks her ground and tells him she’s not interested, in her own way of course.
You Are My Glory Ending
You Are My Glory has a cute ending where there is a time skip 5 years after they got married to show us that Yu Tu successfully launches God Searcher and Qiao Jing Jing was there to support him and love him through that process. It’s just that feel good ending that we need.

extraordinary
this drama has really exceeds my expectations. I have always seen people talk about how good this drama is everywhere, now one thing about me is I get uninterested in a drama when people mention it everywhere so I did not have high expectations and put this drama off for the longest time but I had nothing to watch and randomly watched this and when I tell you it’s sooo good. really not toxic and no misunderstandings and great leads the Fl might be my favorite of all dramas. one thing I loved was that it doesn’t get boring like other “nontoxic” dramas (love me love my voice or put your head on my shoulder) in my opinion. this drama is extraordinary do not hesitate to give it a tryWas this review helpful to you?

For such a popular and highly-rated drama, I was expecting so much more and was instead left rather disappointed. In the beginning, I absolutely adored the main leads, especially Qiao Jingjing because of her personality, and loved the amazing chemistry and dynamic of a serious and lost man and a confident, bubbly actress. The first 15 episodes were incredibly entertaining and I was so certain that this drama would end up with a high rating from me. Where it went downhill was right after those 15 episodes. Prior, I had a minor complaint about the clumsily-included scenes of Yu Tu’s sick coworker because of how incredibly boring and useless they felt to the story. However, it wasn’t due to the dull hospital scenes that I entirely lost interest in the drama, but during Jingjing’s second failed confession and the absolute mess that happened after that. For the love of God, these characters are both thirty years old, and yet they have the communication of literal preteens. They ghost each other after a stupid argument instead of talking about their damn problems and end up spending so much unnecessary energy and time being mad at each other for no damn reason. Besides that, the drama has a serious inconsistency when it comes to pacing. When the leads are together, the pacing feels quick and lively, and whenever they’re in another stupid fight or Yu Tu’s busy with his mind-numbingly boring aerospace job, the pacing slows to a snail’s pace and makes me more inclined to take a nap than to keep watching the drama. Once the leads got together, the happy tone of the drama seemed to pick back up, but I was still too angry about the fight to enjoy their goofiness. This is purely personal preference, but I hate watching a romance drama where the main leads go through a lengthy separation because those always feel avoidable and unnecessary. To me, it just feels like unneeded angst, something that I really don’t need when I’m trying to mindlessly enjoy a rom com. The rest of the drama lacked any plot development and went in circles from them being busy to them being together for a short amount of time only to be busy again. I suppose one of the genres is life, so I can’t fault the drama TOO much for that, but the lack of any plot did not do the drama much good in the latter half. I have a similar problem with this drama as I do with “The Day of Becoming You” since I enjoyed a large portion of it but was severely burned by a small element in the drama, which is why I’m not even sure what rating it would deserve. I don’t think I would recommend this drama to anyone unless they wanted to only watch the first half, because the big separation and what followed after that was just not my cup of tea and didn’t really interest me in the slightest. Ah well, to each their own. This is one of those dramas that you either love or hate, depending on your approach to the romance genre. Was this review helpful to you?
Those were also my two favourite artists, Dilraba & Yang Yang! I think they are actually soo suitable for each other.
I really enjoyed watching all the episodes, I didn't skip any of it. I also thought the way the episodes were made were really well made, like the views were really nice, the way like everything was very cinematic!
I loved it! I think it's like one of those shows, where you love to soak into and just follow along the story, and I love how it was quite professional, like there wasn't like mad misunderstandings or like crazy exes ruining things, it was just like a normal sweetheart kind of show that was just really cute and lovely the whole way!
I'd totally recommend watching it!

A drama sandwiched between video game ads
First it was love O2O, then Falling into your Smile, and now this drama... Tencent gets respect from me for producing dramas over and over that basically flat out promote the games that they make and glorify the gaming industry. I say that with sincerity, it's really a brilliant advertising strategy especially to get at young people...We are basically following the inner struggles of a top scientist who wants to do great things for humanity but is advised by everyone else that he should use his time to make money first instead. The great irony is that for someone who struggles so much with his higher purpose, he apparently spends copious amounts of time playing mobile games and is now coaching a successful, productive actress to do the same.
However none of the previous dramas seems to have been this blatant of an ad. The first five episodes of You are a Glory are basically 50% scenes from their mobile game. There's very little plot at all. When the plot kicks in a bit more around Ep 5, it's sandwiched between rather abrupt bouts of gaming, sometimes to comical effect. Scenes of the leads working hard at their job or dealing with life problems are interspersed abruptly with gaming animations and discussions of such delightful topics as 'jungle strategy'.
The acting is fine and good and I guess it could be a nice, if cliche, love story... but the artificial gaming scenes stitched on top are a bit hard to take seriously. It's almost like they threw in the propaganda-like space program story for the ML to help this drama pass censorship.

Not sending any hate to the cast, the cast was pretty good. For an example, Dilireba is one of China's top actresses, and so is Yang Yang, so putting these two top stars will most likely put this show on trending. I don't hate either of them, but I also don't watch a lot of their dramas. They aren't my favorite actors, but it's just the storyline and everything else was really bad to this show.
I will most likely not come back to watch this. I am more of a historical drama watcher, as it is more interesting to me. I will also say that, so far, to all the Dilireba's drama's I've seen, I'm kind of disappointed. My first show of her's was Eternal Love (Three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms) that show was very good, then I watched Eternal Love of Dream, The Long Ballad, and this show. I didn't like any of those shows, so I'm disappointed, this drama wasn't really any different.

I like the male lead is not the cold CEO type. I am so bore watching that in Asian drama. I like that he is not rich. I like that he cannot solve everything in life with his money, making life easier for the female lead.
I like that the female lead is very confident in life. She know what she wants, who she like. She not weak or so in love with male lead that she forgot her pride completely.

Someone please explain me the hype
I have no idea why this drama is so highly rated.I just could not watch it after a few episodes.
I am a huge fan of Yang Yang and even still I could not complete it.
The actress? Who is she kidding? Her acting is terrible compared to the ML. I tried to understand her fame but I think it is only because of her beauty (she is beautiful no doubt) but that's all to it.
I wish Yang Yang better pairings in the future
The drama was stuck inside phone screens for so long that I could not handle it. I needed real human connections but I guss I just couldn't vibe with the idea.

Love in the world of galaxy
As dramatic as it may sound...yes it is a lovestory on the plains of a galaxy...lol.Acting: Both leads are exceptional actors. YY is that boy you will continuously have a crush on till he notices you*wink*. DD has the right amount of cuteness to make you fall in love with her character,but i would love to see her play a strong FL without being the silly girl in the beginning of a series who is love smitten by an ML.
Story: one thing about the storyline is the progression. It was beautifully done. No rush, progressive development. The down side is that some character like the FL's ex- boyfriend disappeared somewhere after one episode...not sure if it is because i have only watched 12 episodes at the moment..still watching though. The aerospace concept seems to draggy and it is a bit hard,complex and length!!!! It seems to be taking away the whole space in the story!!!
The story between an aerospace systems engineer and an actress is worth watching if you don't mind all the aerospace terms and happening you can't understand.

Not for me.
I tried twice and both times I could never get into it. I think this drama is targeted at a much younger generation, a big factor being so much emphasis on gaming. Literally so much of the show revolves around gaming, and it just does not interest me to watch lengthy scenes of characters sitting and playing on their phones and discussing video games. The ML, while super hot, was totally stone faced, although maybe that changes as the show progresses. It didn't during the episodes I watched, he barely made a facial expression once. As if that wasn't enough the plot itself was not very clear in the middle of all the gaming they kept showing, and her tricking ML into meeting offline and then constantly being so forward with him all the time came off as kind of weird and uncomfortable. The visuals were great though especially for a cdrama.Was this review helpful to you?
