Fair enough. It's doesn't matter, honestly, if you watched it or not, or liked it or not.

My reply is for people who have NOT seen YAMG yet, who are perusing the comments in order to gauge whether it's a drama they'll like or not, then see your post saying it's a carbon copy of another drama, that they might not have liked, then don't even START watching it because of this statement.

Reason why? Because your statement is false. I wanted to correct the record on that, and let everyone know the exact DIFFERENCE between the drama you said YAMG is similar to, and with FACTUAL DATA, explain why I think that's a FALSE statement.

Sorry you didn't like it. Better luck with your next drama selection.

You obviously didn't watch this one and made the claim simply by a cursory reading of the synopsis. I've watched both and they are 100% completely different.

1) Lu Jing is a gaming streamer popular to the public and well known in data research circles.
2) Liang Chen is a singer who wants to completely reinvent herself and her style of singing.
3) Liang Chen is 5 years older than Lu Jing but they have a relationship despite the age difference and her being older than him.

1) Yu Tu is a 30 year old Aerospace Research engineer having a sort of mid-life crisis considering leaving his dream job for a higher salary to take care of his parents in their older age.
2) Yu Tu's job is top secret so he's supposed to be lowkey and under the radar.
3) Qiao Jing Jing is an actress who is very popular and successful. She's not looking to make any changes with her career. She's doing endorsements, commercials, dramas, and movies like she always has been.
4) Yu Tu and Qiao Jing Jing are classmates where Yu Tu is a few months older than QJJ. There's no age difference or issues with them being together with friends or family.

The ONLY thing similar is that both Ju Jing & Yu Tu are good at playing games and due to certain circumstances they have to teach their respective FL how to play better based on the different novels each drama is also respectively adapted to that source material.

Did Tencent really cancel the CP hype promos for YangYang and Rosy for 'Who Rules The World' this last week? I'm just now hearing about this. Is it that Glory Couple are still so hype and they didn't expect it to be this strong that they want to put a distant gap for viewers to move on? Likely, huh?

YouTube won't even let me watch it. "it's not available in your country". =/

Exactly. It's not a REAL early kiss meant by each other because they're in love. The kiss usually has one or the other with their eyes wide OPEN in shock...and it's all done in slo-mo. So, the scriptwriters can continue to show them as not in a relationship without having the viewers hate either the ML or FL for being slutty. Then, we have to wait for another 15 episodes for them to finally have a 2nd REAL kiss that was intentional.... only to have them breakup the next episode and not get together until 1-2 episodes before the end. Then we're lucky if we get another slo-mo kiss to end it all. Likely no hand holding and very few hugs as well, plus, the FL will act like a prude who doesn't like her b/f touching any part of her body, let alone romantic skinship.

With the Glory Couple, all those kisses felt real and out of the 30 kisses they had only a few can even be called slo-mo... and they're closing their eyes!!!

Q: Let's go see it happily, right?

🐑 : Yes, after that one day my mother sent me a message. So we both talked. Mom sent me a few memes and typed a few words "I can't stand it anymore" haha.

Q: What is the name of your home chat group? Can you tell?

🐑 : Ban Yang.🐑家❤"

What a Godsend you are! Bless your heart. I was trying to figure out what all these acronyms stand for... 😂😁

You & me both. I'm completely lost when they start using slang and acronyms. 😂🤣

It doesn't exist.

#YangDi shippers are asking the same questions to the productions as you just asked me. They all want the footage but they're not releasing it.

You and everyone else... there's people even saying they'll PAY for the footage, but still no dice. LMFAO.

Yang Yang said it took him 30 minutes to mentally prepare himself to say the line "Will you allow my genes to influence your genes?" and says even now saying it gives him goosebumps. lol.

For those who think there is too much gaming in this drama, I have calculated exactly how much time is spent up, to EP. 26, in gameplay or even merely TALKING about gameplay, along with the timestamps during each episode so you can evaluate for yourselves.

I will update later for Ep. 27-32 but I'm under the impression that not only is there no gameplay in any of these episodes, they don't talk about the game either:

The information is posted in the YAMG Discussion posts:

All right now, freaking Yang Yang.
He does a microvlog Q&A where the fact that his entire family is watching the drama while it's airing and are in a groupchat talking about it... I guess... EXCEPT FOR THE KISS SCENES... I'm not sure about the translation but it felt like he was saying that everyone just separately watched those scenes on their own and didn't say much or comment about it in the groupchat... UNTIL ...he's MOM came out and said, "... 'I can't stand it anymore' haha."

I don't know about shipper terms in China but people were saying that stuff that was trending like "knock knock cp" "grapefruit" and tell them "YangDi" needs to be real. lol... and WTH is 'HS' & "ST" lol.

There are a lot of people that just really love the way this CP blossomed and are having a really, REALLY hard time letting them go... I, for one, will find it hard to see them in other lovelines in the future. I'm going to say this on top of that -- I never felt this way with any of their other CP partnerships to this point, even if I really enjoyed a particular drama that they were in.

bts of YY & Reba at Disneyland watching themselves in YAMG and 1 of their really hot kisses. I think they react the same way we do watching them kiss:

This was one of the scenes to me that I just felt was well crafted. The novel didn't go '...talk, talk, talk..." people felt things internally and went on with their lives. Not everyone feels the need to talk incessantly about their feelings.

Yu Tu certainly isn't the type, and the stuff regarding her past or anything that has nothing to do with the entertainment world, QJJ kept to herself. The closest people to her knew nothing about school, and her hopes and dreams which, frankly, weren't to become a celebrity. Being a celebrity was just something that was offered to her after she let go of Yu Tu the 1st time, that she ended up being good at in the end. But her actress BFF, her manager, and her assistant knew nothing about Yu Tu etc even when she brought him to her home. She kept a lot of things she thought and felt to herself. Heck, she didn't even discuss any of it with Pei Pei.

That's why these little tidbits scenes are so powerful and important, because it gives you the vibe, sense, and feeling going on without 2 main characters having to have verbal diarrhea to explain it when they're not the type to be expressing shit to others. There's a reason why these to are so okay with being private with everything to do with their lives, and not be constantly exposed to the public.

I'd be shocked if it really was Yang Yang who did this... It's so thoughtful... but if he did, it just goes to show how much he, not only understands his character, Yu Tu, but the intent of the author and screenwriter in telling the story. ;)

Except for the fact that the jeep is in the novel and it isn’t rented. He was 100Km away doing research in the desert as well, and it’s a company vehicle he used after they finished their project and before they packed up and left. He was in a hurry to get it completed because he was going to be even further away from the current WiFi signal and even less able to keep in contact.

Okay. whoa..Slow down. hahaha.

First off, I'm just saying as I read the book that part meant something to me and I'm sad it was left out. That's all.

As to all the issues you brought up, none of them apply to this relationship.
1) He bought the car right after they got together and before they met each others parents as b/f-g/f.
2) He has a 3 bedroom home. JJ & her assistant are happier with his closet than the one she has back at her fancy af penthouse apartment. There's a guestroom that can be a kids room. But, even years after their marriage, she's not having kids because they don't even have that kind of time for themselves. That's later on in the discussion.
3) JJ is fine living at Yu Tu's house. That's why she spent so much time redecorating it to her liking, showing it to her mom-in-law, & Yu Tu is fine with it.
4) JJ tells her manager and assistant that she enjoys being at his home. Not interested in going back, so there is no issue with her needing all this expensive stuff and space.
5) We're forgetting here that QJJ is no Xia Qing. She's not interested in lots of money per se, but since she has it, if she wants to buy pretty things, then she does... which is why she shops for her man to dress him well, instead of paying off his mortgage.

BINGO! Absolutely. This is what it means 100% =)

This goes along with his sentiment to JJ "...do you have so little requirement from your boyfriend you don't need him to send you off at the airport.." !! It has nothing to do with pride.

He wants to do for his girlfriend, not a celebrity. He wants to give her the normal life she likes spending with him. She's not arrogant about his employment like his ex- or his friends. Money isn't an issue. He just wants to act like a boyfriend.

As is stated in the book:
"...For this time where they were going back to Jing City, they took Yu Tu’s ordinary car that he had newly bought. In fact, before dating Qiao Jing Jing, Yu Tu had had no intention to buy a car in the short term. After all, his house was close to his work unit and there was still more than ten years of mortgage payments left for it. 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝..."

Additionally, in the book it shows how these types of things are a COMPROMISE between him and JJ:
~"Mrs Yu didn’t think much about it. She knew that 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 and automatically thought it was probably his colleague or classmate or such getting a free ride from him. After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t sit still, so she thought she might as well call Mr Yu to go downstairs together to wait.

After waiting downstairs for more than ten minutes, a black car with a Shanghai A license plate appeared at the intersection. She thought it should be Yu Tu’s car. Sure enough, the car stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and the son she had not seen for a long time, 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭 which she had never seen before, came out from the car."

My point was that these aspects aren't really punctuated in the drama. Yu Tu's new nice white overcoat is missed by viewers without the novel context. She buys him clothes and dresses him up, and he still does the 'nesting' things like building the closet, paying the mortgage and buying himself a car so he doesn't have to take public transportation anymore so he can be available to his g/f at any moment, and do it by his own effort. What does he do when she has the car and he's on his own? He's also known by her fans even though they give them distance and respect. He's not being on public transportation is part of him keeping on the downlow.

I don't think you understand QQ. Please go back and rewatch her conversation with her Manager and assistant she had when she was showing them the closet he made for her in his home. I don't think that any of his issues regarding wanting to pay his own way would cause a rift in their relationship. Maybe someone elses but that's not the couple I'm watching... and that's my point. THIS IS THEIR STORY... these are their feelings. This is the way THEY dealt with their issues. And they're quite happy with it from what I read. ;)

The only reason I bring it up is because I don't think viewers who never read the novel give Yu Tu credit for how much he changed throughout the drama. Some even bypassed the part about how he's still paying his own mortgage after 2 years together with JJ and her new attitude about spending money that takes place in the closet. Viewers didn't seem to focus on these little superb details that Gu Man weaved in and out of the dialogue. Many of the negative comments come from a superficial watch along with no understanding of the source material. As I'm watching and reading I just thought it would have added more context to the dynamic of their relationship post-Yu Tu confession. Gu Man purposefully didn't write this drama to be in your face because, as mature viewers, she gave us respect enough to get what's happening between the lines. Yet, here we are with a group of people who say it's boring because it's not blunt and in your face.

I get why they changed it because they changed the way they met the parents.
