thanks for the perspective! i am re-watching it too atm and am seeing little little things that pulls the story together. btw, keep 'em coming! always enjoy it.

agree that it is a novel dream come true especially when like @AvidVNTraveler , I myself have read the book countless times. I gave it a high score not just cos I love the novel and its adaptation but due to everything that came together to make it a great drama. the production, the actors (in terms of bringing the characters to life and not just looking good), the cinematography, the screenwriting, the small little details and continuation in the drama, etc. each to their own, however in my book it deserves the highest rating.

spot on! am glad that Gu Man is the screenwriter and that the adaptation is of the novel and not randomly re-writing it to suit the general pov.

totally in agreement on your comment :) abt the "love letters" ikr LMAO I find that its unique although I might have a headache trying to understand it myself LOL. different people have different ways of expressing or showing love. and yes, you couldn't not have explained it better why we need those chapters/episodes on YT. also IMHO I do feel if it doesn't follow the novel then no point calling it You Are My Glory cos it all started with the novel.

yups, super glad that the drama stuck to the novel itself.

Yah, like it or not, product placements (unfortunately) are a must for most dramas to bring in the money so that the drama will have more investments. Some are done tastefully but some are just in your face and oh so funny tbh.

the drama follows the novel to the tee ( especially the important lines that make up the novel) and yes the epilogues are the best LOL I read the novel countless times and even I find the few chapters after YT reject JJ a bit slow but its part of the novel and necessary to make the novel whole. the part where he ended up writing her letters, just sweet. can't wait for next week. am so going to binge-watch once the drama finishes airing.

Yes! her novels are great but I love this one the most. And yes, the lines from the novel, are so significant that the drama cannot do without it :) I have read it countless times and whenever I hear it on the drama, I get goosebumps :)

yups lol. I do wonder if it is because he is or was a dancer, so it seems it's pretty much ingrained in his body to be a certain posture. but boy oh boy his personality is another thing altogether LOL you would think this guy is quiet and aloof but actually, he is funny and clumsy lol

a fan of YY and tbh when I first watched Love O2O, I did think he seemed a bit stiff but it was not to the extend of omg I cannot watch this. Then I watched The King's Avatar - sure he started out brooding but you begin to see how much more animated Ye Xiu actually is. I don't feel being funny in acting means you have to do it TikTok style but a flick of the eyebrow or eye can also indicate and give out a funny feeling. And now with YAMG, he is even better at giving out the feeling of the character without being OTT. Then again this is my pov :) I like Reba and she does have a natural flair when it comes to bright, cheerful characters like JingJing. Anyways, I have said before in my previous posts that the two are just my imagination of JingJing & Yutu from the novel that came true. PS: I do wonder if sometimes YY is being perceived as stiff due to his body posture? that may give out the vibe.

Agree! I read the novel and there were more games scenes being described compare to the drama. In the drama itself, I felt the game part is more like a guest role whereas, in the novel, it feels more of a support role. If that makes any sense.

I am with the both of you. It's just that "feel" you catch between the two leads, could be the way they interact, the way they steal looks, the way they talk, etc but necessary physical.

edit: also want to add, when you just forget that they are YY & 88 but Yutu & JingJing then yups, it's all good!

I think it's really awesome of you to do that and if it doesn't work, you've tried and that's already good enough in my book :) sometimes it's hard to change people's minds once they have set a certain mindset to it. perhaps in the latter part of the drama, it might be different.

i guess there will always be complaints regardless how good a drama can be. like you said, i am also super thankful that this drama is airing (cos i love the novel) and regardless of whether good or bad, i love it! nothing is perfect after all ;)

ahhh but i think the WeTV in my country does not have that, if not I will definitely be subscribing it lol

lol definitely!

am not sure abt VVIP vids but VIP for WeTV would have cos I am VIP and so far there are subs.

think you are right although the VVIP option seems to be not available for overseas. not sure abt other places, but my country only has VIP.

read it a few times too and yes I totally agree with the both of you that although yes it's a romance novel but it's not all fluff. that's why i love it. as much as i love c novel troupes but a novel like this to me, is a dime in a dozen. it is so relatable.

think this might explain it - https://kisskh.at/photos/RE3V6_3
