For me..this was better than the Double. I lost steam the last 10 eps of that show and I thought it got a little too convoluted. But The Glory was perfect. The ML always stayed as a side character to FL Revenge. I also liked how the men were dealt with harshly cause most of there consequences were because of the actions. And how even if Han Yan was a mortal enemy with a woman, she eventually reasoned with them cause she knew they were doing things out of their circumstances. Truly a wonderful show about the things women went through back then and rewards and consequences. I want more revenge dramas like this.
With all the positive reviews in this comment section, how is the rating still stuck at 8.5? Is this drama really…
I'm on ep 24 but as soon as I finish I'll give it a 10. Also a lot of drama watchers tend be Kdramas lovers and therefore dramas like this suffer. They usually want in your face romance and fluffier dramas.
That's not important at all!! Enjoy this masterpiece.
Oh. Wow. It's almost like there's multiple elements to this show. Who would have thought? Im allowed to leave my opinion just like you left this weird comment. Romance is a big part of this among other themes. Get over it.
Half were complaining it shouldn’t be tagged as romance because there is “none” or not enough. 😆
I'm a romance freak. Like I love the CEO poor girl/rich man stereotype no matter how many times it's done. But I can also appreciate a well thought out and slow burn romance like this. I can see why they say that but people mistake romance with intimacy. They may not be intimate as much can't say for sure cause I'm only on ep 16 but it's definitely romantic, The small gestures, looks, flirting and sacrifices are romance to me
This needs to be upgraded to romance. Not slight romance. There may not be 10 min long touching scenes and what not but there is flirting and chemistry in every episode. The ML sacrifices himself for her every episode. I'm only on ep 15 but we hit a major romantic plot point.
I'm only on ep 2 but the acting in this drama is top notch. Some of the best I've seen. Especially Third Lady's mother. Her acting has my mouth open. She's so good!
His Yan Shao hairstyle seems better once we get to see his hairstyle when he is Chu Tianyao.
Don't have the patience to wait that long. It looks bad and cartoonish. I shouldn't have to sit and wait for someone's hairstyle to be fixed. Glad you enjoyed but I want be changing my mind on this one.
A nice drama. I love mystery/crime dramas. I'm new to the female lead and she's amazing. The ML is on my nerves. I don't like his character at all. I'm staying for the FL and cases and hoping the ML can grow on me.
I sorta finished it. I got to ep 10 but the dynamic between ML and FL was just not enough for me to push through 38 episodes. The show is beautifully shot but not a fan of the main characters. Such a pity cause we only get 1 or 2 military dramas a year. I watched the last episode after seeing multiple discussions and I agree it is a sad ending. Which makes me happier that I didn't power through to the show. Cause if I would've watched all the episodes and got that final ending..I would've be so upset.
I finished. I give it a 9. The ending to me was a little lackluster and it dragged quite a bit in last 10 eps. I saw someone say BL and AP characters felt more like friends and I agree. I couldn't get into their romance which is such a same because they are fantastic actors and BL is my favorite actress. I would love to see these two in a modern drama. I think they'd have more chemistry in that. But minus few complaints I'm happy to see BL and Ao Peng is slowly growing on me. I enjoy almost every drama he is in.
Finally a HE! And I need both leads in a xianxia together. The FL is absolutely gorgeous and ethereal and ML and that white hair...I need to see it for more than two eps.
I love Seven and it pains me to drop this cause she's very selective with her roles so you don't see her all the time. But I can't push on. I'm on ep14 and I struggle to watch this. Idk what it cause this type of drama is up my alley. It might be the pacing or the fact that Ying Ying literally gets zero breaks. Literally once she defeats one event..a new one pops up. Even in dramas with BE the heroine gets a small break
What is the connection / similarity?Do you recommend Love of Nirvana for people who enjoyed this, or ones that…
It's almost opposite of Love of Nirvana. Happy ending and very quick romance. Love of Nirvana is an excellent show but it's a slow paced romance but with beautiful love and a BE. Love in the Desert is a good palate cleanser to get over Love of Nirvana.
This was a nice surprise. I stumbled on this show and didn't expect much. Seeing Wang Yu Wen sucked me in. So pretty and love her acting but then just everyone in the cast in general also made me stay. Definitely Modern drama of the year for me.
I consider this completed and stopped at ep 10. The mystery was pretty easy to solve and the story was becoming a little cliche to the point you could guess what was going to happen. I'm disappointed cause I wish there was more focus on the business. It seemed like after ep 5 or 6 they would just say they have work and that's it. But you didn't see any of the parties or business plan talks.
Dropped. The Main leads just don't have chemistry to me. They look good together. Also, there relationship I really don't care to explore more. Kinda wish the third couple was the main leads
Good show up till about ep 9.
