Slice of life dramas are generally known for having less elaborate plots, happily following the characters in…
Though I hated it the first time I watched it... but then I dont know what made me decide to give it a second trialđđ but this time I watched it in a roundabout way... I started from the last episode all the way to the first and boy did I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee this drama. I fell in love with Im Si Wan and I'm writing this message because this is the third time I am watching this drama. So to anyone who is having a problem with this beautiful slice of a drama, you might want to try the trick I usedđđ€
Underwhelming so far. A bit better on global netflix.
I knew you had nothing important to say when I saw your name And FYI guys who claim that their balls are huge are usually the ones with no balls at all... you can ask your mother if I am lying
You guys it's December 4th 2024 and I'm just realizing that Yoon Ah and Jun Ho dropped this masterpiece in 2023 and then disappeared for a whole year from our screens
fr and i read all your rant bc it was fun nvm i started loving leo wu from amidst the snowstorm of love earlier…
I swear.... and another drama that I almost missed because of my misplaced prejudice is Family by choice... and Godddd am I glad that my best friend slapped her senses into me cos my boy lookks good as helll (and when I say boy I mean Hwang In Youp đđđI cant believe I ever said that he is not all that cos he is all that and serving uptop)
As someone who tends to steer clear of male leads I don't find attractive, "Love Like the Galaxy" almost escaped my radar completely. But here I am, eating my wordsâgladlyâbecause this drama not only surprised me but became a personal favorite. And Iâll tell you why.
First, let's talk about the male lead Leo Wu (General Ling Bu Yi). Now, Iâll be honest with you, I did not initially like him. In fact, I straight-up skipped this drama when it first came out in 2022 simply because I didnât find him fine! My bias was that strong. I had seen Leo in "Amidst a Snowstorm of Love" before, and despite the steamy looks he was giving his female co-star in that series, I still wasn't feeling it. Honestly, I only gave that one a try because of a TikTok edit that hyped up all the male charactersâwho, by the way, deserved an award for collectively being the finest on-screen lineup ever. My dopamine levels were doing flips every time I watched, and Leo Wu? He was there, serving up intense, brooding looks but not really my cup of tea.
But boy, did Love Like the Galaxy change things for me.
Leo Wu: From âMehâ to Marvelous General Ling Buyi I never thought Iâd say this, but Leo Wu ate his role as Ling Buyi and left no crumbs! If you're not familiar with the phrase, it basically means he owned this character in a way that made it impossible not to admire his performance. Ling Buyi is a general, and Leo embodied the role to a T. From his commanding presence to his deep, unwavering gaze that felt like it could pierce through your soulâhe was the GENERAL. I still donât find him attractive (sorry, Leo!), but his acting? Absolutely spot-on. The thing about Leo Wu, especially in both this drama and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, is that his characters arenât the smiley type. But when those rare smiles do come? Whew, it hits hard. And his intense, âI see only youâ looks? He delivers those like no one else. Itâs the kind of energy that makes you forget everything around you and focus solely on the tension between him and his female lead.
The Surprise Chemistry With Zhao Lusi Now, I have to talk about my beloved actress Zhao Lusi. Sheâs one of my all-time favorite C-drama actresses, and her pairing with Leo Wu in Love Like the Galaxy? Absolute perfection. The two leads donât even meet until episode 7âyes, episode 7âand somehow I didnât notice! This drama had me so wrapped up in its world that I didnât realize we hadnât had the classic hero-meets-heroine moment until we finally got it. And wow, what a moment it was.
Let me set the scene for you: Zhao Lusiâs character is in a fire accident, and who comes to the rescue? Of course, our heroic General Ling Buyi. The camera zooms in on Leo Wuâs face, and in that instant, I (and my dog, who is very much a bitchâliterally and figuratively) were screaming, âYes, thatâs my man!â Leo Wu was giving all the epic, heroic vibes, and that moment sealed the deal for me.
Their chemistry took a while to buildâafter all, they didnât even have a proper conversation until episode 9! But once they did, sparks flew, and the drama never looked back. Itâs rare to have a slow-burn romance that doesnât lose your interest, but Love Like the Galaxy nailed it. I was anticipating every meeting, every look, every word, every smirk.
The Plot, The Aesthetics, The Hook What makes this drama truly stand out, though, is its ability to engage you without following the typical romance-drama formula. I mean, the leads didnât even meet until seven episodes in, and I didnât care because the world-building, the story, and the supporting characters were all so rich and immersive.
Another surprise? I didnât realize until episode 36 that this drama didnât have a memorable OST for me . For someone like me, who usually identifies a dramaâs OST by the third episode and starts downloading my favorites, this was shocking. There were good instrumental pieces, but no standout songs that I would hum along to or add to my playlist. Yet somehow, the lack of a strong OST didnât take away from my love for this series. The story was that goodâit carried itself without needing catchy tunes to back it up.
Zhao Lusi Shines Again Iâve loved Zhao Lusi in almost everything sheâs been in, but her performance in Love Like the Galaxy is next-level. She brings so much depth to Cheng Shao shangâs character. You feel her pain, her joy, her frustration. Thereâs a moment where her eyes speak more than words ever could, and thatâs when you realize how talented she truly is. She pairs beautifully with Leo Wuâs stoic, unreadable general, creating a dynamic thatâs hard to pull off but incredibly satisfying to watch.
In Conclusion: The Drama That Made Me Change My Mind In the end, Love Like the Galaxy was everything I didnât expect it to be. It had me hooked even without an early romantic smut, made me completely ignore the absence of an OST, and most shockingly, had me singing Leo Wuâs praises despite my previous bias. His portrayal of Ling Buyi will go down as one of the best male leads Iâve seen in a historical C-drama. His performance, paired with Zhao Lusiâs charm, makes this drama an absolute must-watch.
And as for me? Iâll never doubt a drama based on a leadâs looks againâlesson learned. Well, except for The Long Ballad. Sorry, still not watching that one.
(And yes, my dog and I will still scream whenever we see intense, brooding men on screen. It's our thing.)
Now that I have let all my rant gooo... I can finally sleep at nightđđđ€đ€
