No lmao the ratings on this site are hell. And I like this drama a lot so I'm not saying that to be a hater

I always say that Love Like the Galaxy feels like if Story of Minglan was made for teenagers. And I don't mean that in a bad way! LLTG is more immature and dreamy whereas Story of Minglan is more mature and realistic BUT they feel very similar. Both dramas are based on novels by the same author. Both have big family relationships, strong romances, and a little bit of politics. I definitely recommend it!

I understand why they do it too, I think it's a flawed system. Writers are restricted and have to come up with a show that perfectly fits into a certain runtime. I agree that romances can get away with it more than shows with real stories. But that's really a shame. Imagine how many great dramas aren't being made because it's not possible in the 16 episode allotment. Or imagine how many great concepts have been butchered because they had to find a way to drag it out to 16 episodes. And this isn't me hating on Korean writers or directors. I love a lot of K-dramas and movies, the problem is entirely the fault of the tv channels and production companies.

Yes! This is so how I feel. I really love aspects of this drama but man was I frustrated with some dumb tropes and some sloppy writing in the latter half. I also gave it an 8 because of how much I liked it in the beginning but it definitely was disappointing.

How'd you like the ending? I just finished it and gave it an 8. I do not agree with its 9 rating and other comments calling it a masterpiece. It was good overall though and I definitely enjoyed it. But holy crap the last episode. It was so bad, it was like they had this idea of how they wanted to convey to the audience of how the ML didn't ever get to live for himself and how they wanted to show that he was truly choosing the life with his wife and daughter instead of being forced to, but the writers had no clue how to execute it so they threw in a cheap amnesia plot line. Really disappointing ending imo

Yeah the crying was overkill even if he wasn't this supposed unemotional dude. Do writers and directors think making the audience watch two adults sob and stare at each other over and over again makes the audience somehow care more? It feels so cheap.

Totally agree

That's also the downfall of most Korean dramas though. The strict confinement to 16 episodes leads to a lot of rushed endings or dramas with super cool premises that should have just been movies or miniseries but instead are forced and dragged out to be 16 episodes.

Which koreaboo got ahold of the spelling of her name

Hopefully there will be subs. I love ZYQ <333

There are only four people who rated it lol I wouldn't pay attention to the score yet.

Oh same. I like the three women in the article as well, but I wouldn't choose them as the three actresses who define this generation. The Kims are definitely more impressive and are household names as well.

It was a generic example, dude. Congrats on having two braincells

Yeah no shit. It's a fake drama. I'm sure men don't behave like fucking Captain America but you guys still watch Marvel movies.

ZQH was very natural in her role here, she's so great at these down to earth characters. XBB's acting needs a little work ngl but he is extremely handsome and the other characters that were more lively made up for where he lacked. The kids, oh my god. Idk how they managed to get two beyond adorable kids who were actually decent actors as well. They were both pretty damn good but the little boy was especially so. His little face and his lisp had me crying, he was so cute. Now, this is a very cliche drama but the dynamic of the parent-child relationships and interactions were the best I've seen in this kind of genre. I did feel though that the second couple were super unnecessary and I would have much rather had more Tong Luoqi content. She was a riot.

I did get bored at some parts but overall it kept me interested, laughing, and smiling. It was much better than The Love You Give Me which also came out recently but somehow has a higher score than this drama. If you had to pick one with the cute kid gimmick, I'd pick this one.

I was going to say this. They're three actresses with chops and their dramas and films are usually huge hits. I don't understand the article comparison. They're all idol actresses so of course they're popular, but like I don't think you'd see someone comparing Cha Eunwoo with Song Seung Heon. Just because they're both popular isn't a good reason to put them in the same category.

Someone plx let me know when this gets subbed🙏

That person's a freak. There's one person who goes to any article about Zhao Liying on sites like this and dramapanda and starts attacking her and comparing her to Yang Mi or Yang Zi. It's always the same rant, they're insane.

I don't think she has a problem with dubbing herself. She did so in Story of Minglan back in 2018 and also in Wild Bloom last year and was great in both. Like another person said it's often not the actor's choice. I hope she ends up being able to dub herself here.

She was also good in A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower. The problem with her though is I don't think she has the depth to carry a show as the lead. I'm especially wary cuz Song Weilong also isn't the most impressive actor so there isn't someone to carry the other person's weaknesses. I genuinely hope I'm wrong though and that the two of them do a good job. The premise of the drama sounds fun and I like the costumes/setting.
