This is a ridiculously honest review from a Chinese drama addict.

Love like the Galaxy is preposterously one of the most hyped dramas of 2022 amidst the airing spree of a myriad of other anticipated dramas. In as much as I, saw an auspicious chemistry between the two mail leads, Cheng Shao Shang casted by Zhao Lu Si and Ling Bu YI casted by Leo Wu, particularly stemming from the former's successful movies where she made us breathe in at intermittent stages of the plot a therapeutically refreshing air by virtue of her laden rich youthful energy character, hued with very excellent gusto ( portrayed in Who Rules the World starring she and Yang Yang), the male lead quite did wrong to the movie on my part. Leo Wu is boring, very less handsome, uncharismatic, lacks every sense of exigent humor, dull and doesn't exploit to his advantage his brilliant paired cast. He has never been good in exemplifying and playing romance. He made The Long Ballard which got featured in, a brilliant Diralba Dilmurat, very boring and I had to painfully leap over many an unwatched episode just to have a peek into the end, so frustrating.

As a preacher and delibrator of good C-dramas osts, this drama lacked any captivating and heartwrenching one (compare with
with the likes of Immortal Samsara, TMOPB, The Wolf, Novoland:Pearl Eclipse, Legend of Fei, Acient Love Poetry, amongst many others)., so exceedingly bad!

The sound effects was ridiculous and a disgrace, alongside the visual effects and everything.

There are a couple of many other things I would have loved to append to this honestly brutal review but I think none of them could measure a millionth to the tune of disappointment I have in the choice of the Male lead. A very bad thespian. I do not want to see him in any movie.

The only worth final note is that i PROUDLY dropped this series just some few minutes into the 5th episode, It was like a burden was lifted off my shoulders.

surprised at the high ratings

Other reviewers find this to be a good drama but unfortunately, I totally disagreed. May be is because I expected more from these well-known actors.

What can I say about the 3 episodes I've watched so far?.....I am searching for the the right words to describe, but this is all I can came up with...... "This is a really stupid drama"....... The story, if there is one!!! is stupid. The acting is really stupid. Even the dialogues are stupid....

If this is a comedy, it is not funny. If this is a drama, it lacks performances. If this is mystery, the excitements are missing. If this is a romance, I have not even got to that part yet.......So far, It is nothing but childish mischiefs and absurdity.

It is painful for me to watch any further, but that is only my opinions.

Slow to start...

People have told me that LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY is a fantastic drama. I believe those people. I read the reviews, and they all said the same thing.

In Episode 1, we meet the cast of characters, a large, unpleasant, bickering family. A war’s raging on the border, and Mom and Dad are just back from the frontlines. They haven’t seen their daughter Cheng Shao Shang for ten years--nor have they made any real attempt to contact her. Why?

It’s not clear. We’re told that Chen Shao Shang has been cared for by neglectful relatives. She’s been starved, mistreated, and deprived of an education. The poor girl’s health is supposedly precarious.

But with a couple of winks, the girl lets the audience know that she’s faking it. Also, the actress in question looks particularly well-fed–so, not to worry.

We hear over and over about the travails of Old Madame Cheng–the blubbering, melodramatic grandma. I counted twelve(!) different speeches made by this woman in the first two episodes. She whines and complains incessantly. There’s also a thoroughly wretched uncle who’s been embezzling armaments–and a stone-faced general who comes to investigate the crime. Everyone argues about who’s filial and who isn’t.

There’s no hook, nothing to convince me to keep watching this series.

In addition, this entire series is 56 episodes long! Judging by the first two episodes the pacing is going to be sloooowww. I'm sorry. I can only go by what I’ve seen so far. Your mileage may differ.

SYNOPSIS

This drama depicts the story of Cheng Shao Shang ", the "unruly" daughter of Cheng clan and of Ling Buyi, the emperor's adopted son.
Shaoshang grew up without her "family". She does not know what love means, how it feels to be loved and when you can feel love. All throughout her life, she was bullied and mocked for being "abandon" as a new born and "illiterate". She refused to be bullied and so she stand up for herself most of the time. When her parents returned from almost 15 years of absence, she thought she can finally feel the warmth of having "real family" love but then constantly reminded by her mother how "incompetent" she is compared to her "well-mannered" cousin (asian thing).

Ling Buyi is the adopted son of the Emperor. He is a capable General with a "broken" and "dark" past. He felt a strong attraction to young lady, Shaoshang but he did not yet to confess his feelings. He mostly appears whenever Shaoshang is in trouble or in danger, willing to risk his life just for her to be safe. "Action speaks louder than words".

There are two other important "male heroes", Lou Yao and Yuan Shen. Both are from noble families. Lou Yao, the first one to pursue Shaoshang, asked for her hand for marriage and the first one to show Shaoshang how to be "appreciated", "valued" and "loved" but the engagement did not last long for some circumstances. Yuan Shen, pursue Shaoshang when Ling Buyi was punished by the emperor and was sent to the frontier for a long period of time. Heartbroken Shaoshang accepted Yuan Shen to forget Ling Buyi.

Fate played them well.

Ling Buyi came back and messed Shaoshang's feelings again. This time, they will not let go of each other and will hold on forever.

Una Galassia di Stronze

Gradevole drama a sfondo storico, ispirato probabilmente alla dinastia Han (206 a.c/226 d.C.), a tema politico, tratto dal romanzo di Guan Xin Ze Luan, "Xing Han Can Lan, Shang Lu".
Il contesto storico precisamente dovrebbe essere alto l'Han Orientale (25-220 d.C.),durante il regno dell'imperatore Guangwu (25-57 d.C.; ciò non è esplicitamente dichiarato e i nomi sono stati modificati). Come l'imperatore Guangwu, anche l'imperatore di questa storia è un imperatore fondatore che non uccide ed è benevolo con i suoi suddit
Narra della protagonista, la quindicenne Shao Shao (NiaoNiao), cresciuta senza cure genitoriali, in quanto figlia di due generali impegnati in una guerra al fronte.
Nonostante una sceneggiatura interessante che mostra il percorso evolutivo, quasi un racconto di formazione, della giovane Shaoshang (corda di cetra), interpretata abbastanza bene da Zhao Lusi, e nonostante la regia sia abbastanza curata (con momenti molto buoni e qualche falla), alcuni aspetti hanno penalizzato la mia valutazione "tirata":
- spreca troppo tempo con troppe donne deliranti e ossessionate dal ML. Questo va a discapito della narrazione.
- Wu Lei è risultato sufficiente nella interpretazione ma è mancata completamente la profondità e l'intensità che il personaggio dovrebbe avere, se lo confronto con Wang Xing Yue, di 2 anni più piccolo, ne esce pietosamente e amaramente sconfitto; stessa cosa dico della madre della FL, l'ho trovata poco performante per il ruolo sebbene inizialmente io l'abbia compresa nei suoi intenti.
- Elementi comici e tragici non sempre fusi bene insieme, danno un tono grottesco al lavoro.
- Una sceneggiatura e una regia che calcano troppo alcune scene romantiche, rendendole patinate, edulcorate, finte, a scopo fan service (esempio proposte di matrimonio plateali, senza aver creato alcunché a livello di rapporto per giustificare una mossa avventata, a poca distanza da un fidanzamento revocato, FL e ML che girano insieme roteando, mentre si fissano, il cliché della caduta abusato , tipo 5 volte su 10 incontri).
Personaggi troppo caricaturali per risultare credibili (Imperatore che si occupa di gossip e rumors, non c'è un solo discorso politico o a sostegno della nazione. Mi ha divertito ma quanto può essere credibile).
Un aspetto che non mi ha convinta a livello di scrittura : Niao Niao era stata abbandonata dai genitori, rimanendo con una nonna malata (disturbo psichiatrico), e una zia rancorosa e cinicamente sadica, non aveva appreso nulla di quello che serve per inserirsi nella società di quei tempi ,eppure, forse per sopravvivenza ,era diventata moralmente integra, con competenze architettoniche e ingegneristiche (che si basano al 60% sulla matematica). Io Boh!
Altro aspetto non convincente era il modo di rappresentare la malattia della madre del protagonista maschile, aveva sicuramente un DSPT con sintomi dissociativi regressivi: a volte sembrava in contratto con la realtà , e altre no ma in modo diverso, all'inizio la vediamo proprio in un mondo tutto suo, poi presente nel momento ma disconnessa per brevi attimi, poi presente e infine di nuovo distaccata.
Da clinico direi che c'è molta confusione sul modo di rappresentare il disturbo, NON DICO SI DEBBA ESSERE PERFETTI IN TUTTO ma dato che lo valutate 10 mi aspetto uno studio prima di caratterizzare i personaggi afflitti da disturbi psichiatrici. Lo fanno i turchi, gli americani... e credo anche noi italiani che abbiamo una recitazione penosa.
Le stronze con cui si relaziona avevano ricevuto la migliore educazione, alcune da tutori imperiali, eppure erano stronze, manipolatrici e inviperite. Questa dicotomia forse serve a dare spessore e lustro al personaggio principale ma se non mostri l'evoluzione delle stronze diventa una velata misoginia nei confronti delle donne, dipinte tutte come fredde, meschine, vendicative, ciniche, svalutanti, manipolative, alcune sadiche.

Cosa mi è piaciuto invece:
- il rapporto con la madre, conflittuale e molto ingiusto da principio si ammorbidisce e avvia delle mutuali riflessioni, la madre inoltre quando la ragazza subirà qualche torto saprà difenderla in modo aggressivo.
- il personaggio principale è intelligente, resiliente e pieno di sfumature, umano e abbastanza rancoroso.
- l'evoluzione di Niao Niao, da ragazzina ferita e pestifera all'inizio, a quasi donna matura e riflessiva alla fine. La crescita è palpabile e apprezzabile, molto ben resa.
- il rapporto con i fratelli, sebbene venga mostrato poco, gli uomini della famiglia Cheng sono tutti meravigliosi, a parte il simpatico padre che manca totalmente di spina dorsale e autorevolezza.
- il personaggio timido e remissivo di A'Yao è stato ben interpretato, e la sua dolcezza inizia a sciogliere una inaccessibile (da principio) ShaoShao.
- regia, in alcune riprese molto suggestive e caratteristiche, bellissima la introduzione nella prima puntata e l'incontro nel giardino dei Lu, l'uso delle luci e la scenografia;
- sceneggiatura interessante che non perde mai il ritmo e non annoia.

Tout simplement magnifique , j’ai adoré du début à la fin les jeux d’acteurs m’ont tellement transporté et j’ai pleuré toutes les larmes de mo corps. J’ai partagé chaque émotion avec les acteurs pour dire combien ils sont bons.
J’aime le fait que l’amour entre nos deux protas se soit construit petit à petit se basant sur la confiance et l’admiration. Le prota aimait tellement la prota qu’il était prêt à tout pour la voir heureuse .
Les autre personnage n’en reste pas moins attachant aussi . Les moment drôles m’ont tué de rire 😂
J’espère tellement les voir jouer ensemble encore .

bom, mas poderia ser melhor do que isso.

tudo nesse drama é bastante interessante e ate os episodios trinta você fica bastante focado e ansioso para tudo que vai acontecer, mas o final meio que deixou em sentimentos mistos e outras partes que eu senti que não fazia sentido.

como o primeiro noivado de niaoniao onde depois de terem cancelado, mesmo que yao esteja casado com outra mulher, ele simplesmente some da trama e aparece novamente somente no final, teve muitas partes de niaoniao e yao juntos e até mesmo um pequeno romance de forma unilateral, então depois de ter passado mais de cinco episódios somente com interações deles e depois tudo ser resolvido de qualquer jeito e agirem como se nada tivesse acontecido e terem sumido com o personagem de yao me deixou um pouco frustrada e me fez questionar para que tivemos tantas cenas deles juntos se no final não levou a lugar nenhum? não fez sentido para mim.

a mãe da niaoniao É UMA CHATA. como uma mãe que literalmente abandonou a filha volta como se nada tivesse acontecido e parece que faz de tudo para deixar a menina cada vez mais triste? e ainda usar a prima para fazer comparações, me deixou tão frustrada que quando niaoniao começou a se aproximar da majestade fiquei feliz e pensei que a mãe poderia ir embora e não voltar mais. eu sei que teve uma evolução na personalidade da mãe, mas depois de ter sido torturada por ela por tantos episódios e receber carinho somente nos três últimos episódios não me fizeram gostar dela mesmo assim. (eu provavelmente não teria perdoado tão fácil como niaoniao fez). tirando isso o resto da família são fofos, gostaria de ter visto mais da prima e ver como que ela se casou e também do irmão que teve filho, visto que no final não mostraram nada disso e somente fizeram menção uma vez e acabou.

agora sobre o casal, eu gostei bastante de verdade e a história ao redor deles foi muito boa, teve bastante plot twins em si e muito suspense e investigação, eu meio que chorei de alegria quando bunyi confiou em niaoniao para defender a cidade enquanto ele lutava! a drama em si é muito boa e eu me apaixonei bastante por lusi novamente, mas eu senti que poderia ter sido melhor (algumas vezes eu parava de assistir ao chegar mais no final, por sentir que estava perdendo o interesse) e por ouvir tantas coisas boas sobre esse drama, eu estava esperando algo > melhor e extraordinário < como todos que recomendavam falavam.

para finalizar, eu senti falta da personalidade do começo de niaoniao que aos poucos foi abandonada por causa de seus traumas, mas gostei que ela permaneceu confiante a si mesma e sempre tentando ajudar os outros, mas saudades dela sendo toda sapeca.

天堂太忙了,沒時間選演員

這個節目完全是一團糟。故事情節令人困惑且難以理解,以一種無關緊要且令人困惑的方式從一個場景跳到另一個場景。編輯沒有幫助。趙露思過人的演技給了她足夠的戲劇力量,讓這部劇活了下來。她甚至還教了吳磊一些面部表情。太糟糕了,她幫助提升了 Leo 的天堂特權。廣電總局:選擇有能力的演員,而不是騙子。

This show is a complete mess. The storyline is confusing and incomprehensible, jumping from scene to scene in an irrelevant and confusing way. Editing didn't help. Zhao Lusi's extraordinary acting skills gave her enough dramatic power to keep the show alive. She even taught Wu Lei some facial expressions. Too bad she helped elevate Leo's heavenly privilege. SARFT: Choose capable actors, not pin up boys.
