A very interesting drama that start as slice of life
TL;DR
You Are My Glory is a modern, low-conflict slow-burn romance that feels both refreshing and emotionally grounded. The ML’s insecurities and the FL’s maturity create a realistic, respectful relationship. While the early episodes may drag with tech-heavy scenes, the payoff—strong chemistry, heartfelt growth, and meaningful romantic moments—is worth it for viewers who value substance over sensational drama.
I was genuinely impressed—this drama delivers more than expected. It expertly uses a slice‑of‑life vibe with a gaming core, building slowly toward romance without rushed drama. The female lead (FL) isn’t portrayed as ditzy; she’s accomplished, respectful, and genuinely crushes on the male lead (ML) long before they reunite. Their reconnection is realistic and understated—no forced drama or contrived obstacles. I love how she supports him while honoring his decisions, even when she disagrees, and she shows real depth—she genuinely breaks when they argue for the first time. The ML, though a genius and seemingly perfect, wrestles with insecurities: modest earnings, feeling overshadowed by a nationally famous FL, and his own pride. And when he finally confesses his feelings, the FL doesn’t simply swoon—she tests him and needs sincerity. It avoids cliché and shows emotional maturity
Yang Yang and Dilraba have excellent on-screen chemistry—natural, witty, and warm. Their performances elevate the drama; they are believable, respectful, and emotionally resonant, with strong comedic and tender beats.
The first half leans heavily into slice of life—gaming montages, aerospace work scenes, experiment setups, etc. While they build context, many viewers (and myself) find these sequences slow or redundant . I’d trim the aerospace subplot to a few key scenes that reveal his character. That said, once the romance kicks in (around episode 21), the pace smooths and becomes more engaging
Production values and visuals are solid—clean cinematography and pleasant bokeh. But the soundtrack doesn’t stand out or linger emotionally.
It’s not heavy on rewatch appeal due to its length (32 episodes, ~30–40 min each) and some filler content. However, fans of fluffy, mature romance often find it worth revisiting—the chemistry and sweet moments remain charming .
