Você é minha glória (2021)

Believable Storyline!

You Are My Glory is worth your time and every penny. I had to watch it on Fast Track on WeTV.

The story revolves around the life of Yu Tu, an intellectual with his own flaws, and Jingjing a successful actress that used to like Yu Tu when they were in high school. The drama spans from the time the two leads met again and some flashbacks in high school when the two became friends and had a falling out.

The characters in themselves were interesting. Yang Yang's character and portrayal of Yu Tu and his own insecurities despite his intellect and accomplishments. Dilraba as Jing Jing appeared flaky and shallow in the beginning. Viewers will see how their character grows throughout the drama-- Yu Tu's deep regret and Jing Jing's courage, admiration, and dedication to her own craft. There are a lot of aerospace-related (Yu Tu's workplace) and his workmates and Jing Jing working in her set. I enjoyed the gaming scenes at Jing Jing's home and during the competition itself. There are few side couples in this drama-- thank heavens. While the drama revolves around the two, the side romances are relevant and nicely connected with their story.

Meaningful, sweet n perfect CP feels

If you love the novel, you will love the drama. Everything follow closely, from flow of events to their dialogue. It's one of my fav from Gu Man.

If you havnt read the novel, theres even more reason to watch. Because the plot wont fail you and because the cast are icing on the cake. In a nutshell. ML is someone calm, logical, and everything in his life is well thought out. In highschool he shot down FL's confession because he reason out they are unsuitable.

FL is someone with high EQ and a witty personality. When they meet online on a gaming platform and she uses her devious wit to meet ML in RL, thats when it opened the opportunity for ML to get to know her.

The story imo is beautiful and deep and even deprecatingly realistic.
1. Definition of success in life. Masses will say land a high paying job and make money. But is it for everyone?
2. Best student in school does not necessary make the most money. Depends on what you choose to pursue;
3. How many are willing to pursue their dream or achieve sth of national pride as the journey can be arduous and the reward isnt monetary;
4. A sensible reasoning is good in school and work but not with matters of the heart. This is the hard lesson ML learns. He missed out on the opportunity with FL with his logic and pride. He failed to factor other more important things. He would come to realise their lifeviews are similar and their contradictory personality is actually complementary.

Qiu Jing Jing is truly one of the lovelist FL. Her personality rivals her beauty. She admired YuTu not just his good looks, his intelligence, demenor and most of all his admirable dream. She herself is confident and works hard to try to connect to him, to be the best version of herself. Her hard work and sincerity did not reach him until 10years later. But shes not the wilting flower just because ML rejects her. Thats why i like her so much. Sad or not, she moves on and make do. With ML, she can be coquettish, cute and mischievious. She can be direct and frank too. I love her guts.

Sigh the story and the well written character is just really up my alley. Only sorry when live watching you keep wanting more episodes. I had to go back and binged the novel. Really easy to immerse into rabbit and cotton's love story..

Playing Games with someone you are comfortable with

1st Week Review + Final.

Quick Overall Summary
If you liked Love O2O, you will like this drama. The drama is great for a relaxing night binge where the story and characters are fluffy and wholesome to watch. There is no dramatic or overly annoying characters or plot, but more focused on the enjoyment of playing games, spending time with someone you are comfortable with and juggling between work/life balance. Indeed, the drama heavily focuses on playing games and game terminology, but there are other elements that are talked about like the ML's dreams and life choices. One last crucial point is that the drama being a CDrama, flows and generally makes sense (there are no cliche overtop encounter/scenes that challenges the audiences' intellect, very rare these days).

Final: 1st half of the drama is about gaming and getting to know each other again. 2nd half of the drama is more about the relationship between the ML and FL and completion of the deep space rocket project.

Quick Story/Plot (9 > 8.5)
The FL is a famous actress and is the brand face for a popular mobile game (Chinese Mobile LoL). One night, she was recorded by an anonymous friend/spectator on how bad she was at the game. This was leaked and blew up quickly where part of the online community criticised her being the brand face of the game and being terrible at the game. The Manager and Game Company played it off well and very sensibly (I applaud) where she released a statement saying was only trying out the new character and to show that she does not suck at the game, there will be a charity match in 1 month's time to celebrate the end of the gaming season. In comes the ML, While the FL is on a 1 month break and practicing to be better at the game, she was mistakenly invited by the ML to his lobby who is an old high school classmate of hers. After joining the match and playing a few rounds, the FL realised how good the ML was at the game. At this point, the FL knows who the ML is, but the ML does not know the FL since she was using an alternate side account. Wanting to meet the ML again and also looking to improve at the game, the FL tries her luck and asks the ML to be her instructor and teach her more about the game.

Final: The story is definitely on the slower side with the 2nd half of the drama dragged on just a little too long. With 30 mins each episode, you can feel the production team taking their time with each scene and camera pan.

Quick Acting/Cast/Characters
- ML: Yang Yang has always played roles of the handsome boyfriend who doesnt say much, but is always caring and casually will be by your side. Yu Tu is an Aerospace Designer/Engineer and is very smart, graduating with double degree in Aerospace/Finance. However, he is at crossroads in his life, choosing either a higher paying finance job or continue with his dream job in Aerospace + starting to get to know the FL all over again. There is alot he is going through at the moment.
-FL: Qiao Jing Jing is a famous actress who is in high demand. She is caring and gives the ML a lot of personal space and breathing room. She does not overstep her bounds and knows that currently she is a friend only. E.g. like when the ML needs to leave or go out, she understands and farewells him. She does not guilt trip him to force him to stay or make him uncomfortable for leaving her.
- Special shoutout to Jing Jing's Manager who is very understanding and also encourages the FL to go on dates :)

Music/OSTs
- Music is great where it comes in exactly at the right point in time during the scene to elevate the entire mood/emotions. The Start/Ending OSTs and playlists are great too.

Rewatch Value
Would rewatch some notable and beautiful scenes.

Why my current rating (10)
Although the story is very slow paced, I watch it for the interaction between the characters. How they support and bicker between each other while understanding the boundaries set between them. No one oversteps the line just because they are the ML or FL. Furthermore, I liked Love O2O and games, so this is right up my alley. There are many horribly made Gaming Genre Dramas done poorly, but this is one of the exceptions. This also includes light-hearted stories, where the ML and FL are getting to know each other again and flirting with their honest heart. You know it, this drama has those one-liner swooners...

Final: I retain my final rating of 10 as the drama overall was enjoyable to watch. Although later half of the drama did drag out to my disliking, I overlooked it due to the fluffy and very pretty scenes/set. The drama is not entirely about gaming where the story transitions to successfully launching the deep space rocket. The drama's final score is more like a lower 10 - 9.7 rating.

This has to be one of my favorite Cdrama I've watch in a while.

The main character is an actress (Dilraba Dilmurat as Qiao Jing Jing) who has to quickly learn how to play a mobile game that she's initialing for the competition, and the tutor she finds is her high school crush who rejected her. Unlike the typical Cdrama, the main character has a very steady and mature outlook about the various petty schemes & dramas, taking things competently in pace.

The strongest point of this drama is definitely the male lead (Yang Yang as Yu Tu), however. In a genre filled with overbearing love interests who are always more powerful, richer, and smarter than the female protagonist, and who spend the entire drama hovering over her shoulders fixing all her problems, we finally get someone who actually feels like a real person. Instead of having his life revolve around the main character, the male lead mostly leads an independent life struggling to balance his desire to earn more money to support his parents vs pursuing his dreams an underpaid researcher.

The themes of family and money and reputation here were extremely comforting. You also see how he slowly grows from his days as an arrogant high school student who looked down on the main character because she wasn't as smart as him, to the current timeline where he draws strength and inspiration from her support and faith in his dreams.

Beyond the romance, the supporting characters are all very fun and quirky in their own ways, and the gaming moments (and gaming fails) were hilarious as well.

I highly recommend this drama to someone looking for a more mature, down-to-earth romance with a good dose of humor and emotional growth.

THE MOST ROMANTIC CDRAMA THAT I'VE EVER WATCHED.

My expectation with this drama is high. I know both leads can do justice to the character, but it needs good script and direction as well. AND THEY DID IT! YAMG exceed my expectation that's already high to begin with.
It does have everything I can’t stop watching it. Love the 2 leads and the writing is amazing, the cinematography is beautiful and the director knows how to make each scene look real with real emotions shown. I’m going to be gushing about this drama for a long time.
Still crying every time I watch yutu's second proposal Loudly crying face yutu's sincerity please also the way he really regrets that because of his prejudices they've missed 13 years of being together.

Thank you, #YouAreMyGlory for giving us a love story of two responsible adults who are passionate towards their career, who knows their responsibilities well, communicates well and most importantly understands each others’ dreams.

The best modern drama of 2021

This drama story is perfect for me. I dont like high school romcom drama, thats are based on unrealistic stuff & teenage fantasy. This drama is more realistic, they focus on ml & fls real life career, how they face many problems in their career, face them strongly. I like the fl's role more. Cz she is independent woman. Despite being a famous celebrity & a most loved female celebrity, she is very humble & always respect & being friendly with her manager & assistant’s. She give Courage to yutu to fulfill his dream & dont give up on it easily. I like how yutu support her to improve game and also take care her. They are independent & never force eo to change for eo. So they can become a best life partner in future. The drama is still ongoing so will update more when the drama will finished.

(After finish watching all the ep, all i can say is,)

I’m still emotional, and all of extreme feelings pilled up right now … what can I say besides; THANK YOU FOR THE BEST LIFETIME DRAMA SERIES #YouAreMyGlory
This drama will be something that will engraved in my life for a lifetime
Thank you!!!!!

YAMG: The Glory of Chinese Romance Drama

I've never been so invested in a drama that I didn't hesitate to pay for early access on its episodes.

This drama feels so raw.

How do I explain how exceptional this drama is? There is not much conflict but everything is well executed that there is no boring scene.

This is one of the best representation of slice of life x romance genre in the history of modern Chinese drama. Celebrity x normal character is a common pairing; but YAMG executed it with no exaggerations. It's just enough to show how things are going on with their daily life. Perfectly blended.

What else about the story that makes it so special? There is no secondary couple that would make you feel like they're actually better than the lead characters. The romance of the main leads is just enough to make you binge watch and crave more.

Yang Yang & Dilireba's chemistry is off the charts - they are made for this drama. It's like they came out from the novel. They look so good together! TT TT

The production team aced of this drama too, sometimes I feel like I'm watching a movie. It's just sooo high tier.

The OST is also perfect! Whenever the intro OST is being played as BGM on Yu Tu & Jingjing's scenes, my heart melts.

Yu Tu's brightest star; and Yu Tu is Jingjing's universe. They found the glory within each other.

You Are My Glory is THE modern chi drama of 2021.

reward game

reward game

Although they are very famous, I didn’t start watching the drama because of the actors.
The story was much more appealing. I was not disappointed . The story from the first word to the last word is amazing. I like the way the plot recovers, very dynamic. The writer builds a real human relationship. (The writer doesn’t drunk FL to make things easier for ML. That’s why special thanks to the writer.)
It shows both the positive and negative sides of a successful life. Love won’t suddenly make everything pink, just much more livable and less lonely.
Two people who support each other but don’t limit the other.
The two leading actors are impeccably tucked into the role, Yang Yang is handsome, arrogant, narcissistic then playful, romantic, narcissistic and maximalist. With unforgettable emotional upheavals.
Dilraba Dilmurat is beautiful, kind, persistent, supportive, devoted, playful and irresistible.
Because of their customized role, I feel the piece is a reward game.
The musical background is in line with the drama. My favorite "Time monologue"
I'm sure I'll watch it several times.

C-Drama's Glory

This is the BEST Modern Drama of 2021 (up to date)... this is ur break from watching OLD-School drama like rich man falls in love with Poor girl... a scene from accidental kiss, a piggy back ride or catching up colds... YAMG talks about reality of what to choose between Dreams & Reality of Life... how a Woman can as well be financially stable than the Male... Talks about First Love and how the FL supports the ML... its a beautiful LOVE STORY...
ACTORS... no doubt that YAMG is for Yang Yang & Dilreba... no other actors can deliver the Character well if not them...
DIRECTORS: He makes even the small scene nice to watch... Sad Scene even sadder.... & Thank U for giving us a beautiful view of China... the Cinematography U gave us makes me wants to visit China.... U let us feel the love of Yu Tu & JingJing
Gu Man: Thank U for giving us a Beautiful Love Story..

All in All i will give a perfect rating of 10... & i recommend for U all to watch it...THANK U to YANG YANG & DILREBA for giving us YuTu & JingJing... till we meet again...

Exceed my expectation!!

After watching it until the end, I would say it's really good. It is a warm, romantic relationship.

Its exceed my expectation for the adaptation from novels. I really like this story. I'm a fan of Gu Man's novel. and watch every series based on Gu Man's novels. Most of them like to adjust the script to add a secondary role in the series, except for this series, which is very impressive. Focus on the main leads and expanding the ML work to have a greater understanding Fortunately, I didn't press skip.
(At first, I was secretly bored of the main character's work because I didn't understand and wasn't in it).

Yang Yang and Reba, the chemistry is very good, acting as well as Yu Tu. and Qiao Jingjing Walked out of the book and really existed.

The ending is so awesome, I'm excited, tears flow, Impressed.

A Masterpiece of Modern Romance, while being faithful to the novel!

It's been a while since I have been this invested in a Romance Drama.
Enough for me to pay for the Fast Track!

The story is very much like the story from the novel ,
I've been reading the novel side by side while watching this Drama.
While the story is simple, the way they shot and film this is unique.
And the two leading male and female lead are amazing. They both look really good together.
Their chemistry was amazing in this drama. Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Yang well done!
What I liked the most about this romance was the portraying of real life problems
that people actually face, found in real relationships.
And how both leads dealt with their insecurities, particularly the male lead.

I really like the gaming aspects at the beggining, it made me want to play that mobile game.
But sadly its only available in china. As a fan of games like LoL,
I really liked the way they filmed the gaming aspects.
And then in the second half of the story the romantic moments really started.
The romantic moments were really heartwarming and passionate.
Dilraba once again improves on her acting capabilities. And I liked Yang Yang.
This was my first time seeing him on screen.
And he did really well, and he was very comfortable with Dilraba.
So much so, that I would like to see them dating in real life!

The OST was excellent too. I really liked the opening song (Fireworks And Stars)
and also Born To Be An Eagle is fire! Fall In Love is also pretty catchy!
This Drama is definitely rewatchable, so many good and sweet moments to rewatch.
Even the gaming moments! One day if I'm able to, I will rewatch this again!

Overall this is what I consider an Excellent romance, with no useless tropes in placed. Just for the sake of it!
They followed the novel beautifully and brought those characters to life.
They also included extra scenes from Yu Tu's profession.
They ended the Drama like in the novel, which displays more themes than just romance!

I highly recommend this Romantic Drama! This is a Romantic Classic!
