The Glory – A Deep, Emotional Ride Beyond Romance
📝 Story Review 📝
The Glory follows the life of Zhuang Han Yan, a woman abandoned by her family since birth and raised in hardship and abuse in a remote village. Despite her painful childhood, she grows up strong, smart, and brave, not bitter or selfish. She fights to return to her family in the city and protect them at all costs, even though they never truly show her love. Her dream is to finally experience the warmth of a real family.
On the other side, we have Fu Yun Xi, a widower with a young daughter, A Zhi. He knows his time is limited due to poison in his body. His only mission is to find a smart and courageous woman who can take care of his family (mother and daughter) after he’s gone.
Both Han Yan and Yun Xi value family deeply, but their views differ. For Han Yan, family is about blood related bound. But for Yun Xi, who was an adopted son, family is about love and care.
If you're into romantic dramas full of hugs, kisses, and hand-holding, this probably isn’t for you. This show focuses more on the fight to protect loved ones in the middle of family and political chaos.
The leads show love not through sweet words or physical affection, but through actions:
- Carefully planned strategies to keep their loved ones safe.
- Tireless efforts to bring happiness, or rescue their family from danger.
- Even sacrificing their own safety for the sake of the people they loved.
There are a few light romantic scenes, but that’s not the heart of the story. Instead, you’ll feel the love in everything they do and every decision they make to keep the people who they cared safe.
Some of scenes feels like too cliche. But overall if you love tense dramas full of surprises and twists, The Glory will totally hook you.
🤠 Acting Review 🤠
Chen Du Ling absolutely nailed it as Han Yan. She captures the intelligence, strength, determination, even her vulnerability flawlessly. She’s one of those actresses who can cry beautifully and naturally on screen. I’m a huge fan!
As for Xin Yun Lai, some say his acting is stiff, but I honestly think that’s just how the character was written. Yun Xi holds back his feelings to avoid falling in love, and avoid Han Yan fall for someone who's dying. That’s why many of their scenes together feel awkward. I won’t say he was amazing, but I don’t think his performance was bad at all. I am waiting for his next project!
🎶 OST Review 🎶
Totally fell in love with the soundtrack! The songs are now on my daily Spotify playlist. Can't stop listening to it
Thank you for The Glory team to give us such a Wonderful Series ❤️
