Not Captivating, But Yu Tu Saves Some Scenes
You Are My Glory ended up being a disappointment for me, mainly because it never managed to truly hold my attention.
The aerospace-related storyline was, honestly, very boring and dry. It dragged a lot and made many episodes feel unnecessarily long.
The only part I found somewhat engaging was the gaming aspect. As someone who has played League of Legends, I enjoyed the gaming scenes more than expected, even without any prior knowledge of Honor of Kings. That was the one element that felt more dynamic.
Unfortunately, the romance was very weak for most of the drama. I never felt a strong emotional connection between Qiao Jing Jing and Yu Tu.
I especially struggled to connect with Qiao Jing Jing as a character, which made it hard to care about the relationship. With Yu Tu, I did feel a bit more connection, and he was the only character that somewhat kept me watching, I would even be interested in checking out another drama centered around him.
The lack of chemistry was very clear in episode 25, particularly during the bed scene. The dialogue felt awkward and unnatural, and instead of being romantic, it was just cringe and uncomfortable.
Episode 26 had the potential to create more tension, but certain elements ruined the moment, like the oversized watch Yu Tu was wearing, which distracted me completely and broke the scene’s impact.
That said, in the final episodes, there were small moments where their relationship started to feel more believable, and their physical attraction became more apparent. It was subtle, but you could finally sense some chemistry and mutual desire developing, though it still didn’t fully make up for the lack of emotional connection earlier in the drama.
Compared to my first C-Drama, Speed and Love, which had real romantic tension from start to finish, You Are My Glory felt forced in its romance, and many intimate scenes were awkward rather than engaging.
Overall, I didn’t find this drama captivating. Many parts felt slow and dull, to the point where I started skipping scenes.
Eventually, I emotionally checked out, and at a certain point, I simply gave up on the drama altogether. Despite its popularity, it wasn’t engaging enough to keep me invested.
Rating: 5.5/10
