this is probably the longest drama ive ever watched and the fact i watched it on a total whim after seeing some humor edits on yt.
there is really no way i could sum up the whole series in a few lines cuz 56 episodes was a lot and i assure u none of them were fillers. every episode had its purpose and even tho it might seem a bit overwhelming to watch all of that it is all so worth it
lets start with the characters. i watched the whole drama for 2 weeks. at first i was determined to finish it in a few days but the number of episodes overwhelmed me and i dragged it around lmao. i still remember vividly the first few episodes. ling buyi and cheng shaoshang meeting for the first time, them starting on a rough path which gradually led to zisheng noticing shaoshang everywhere if she is in close proximity and that evolving to him going everywhere to protect her. their relationship was so pure and full of heartful moments. they might not have been intimate but really everything they went through together put them above everyone else. im not even bluffing i could feel like im growing with them throughout the drama it was so slow paced and their oove was portrayed as such a warm and lovely feeling
my other fav characters include yuan shen, the empress, empress and concubine yue. ugh i love the rulers' trio sm. all 3 of them have their own virtues and talents which led them to be he most powerful trio ugh i loved them so so much. its all thanks to the emperor and empress that shaoshang and zisheng grew up to be so sensible and caring for their surroundings. concubine yue was one of my absolute favs cuz she roasts people day and night like its her side job and we love her for that (she isnt rude she just pricks people with the right words at the right moment and ofc to people who deserve it) the relation between the empress and concubine was also divine. time and time again we were proven people can co-exist if they are good enough.
yuan shen was also one of my most fav characters. he always had that warm "im gonna protect shaoshang like a brother" aura for me. he might've been in love with her but honestly? he was more like a brother / bsf. he used to talk to her whenever she had worries and they used to fight sm ah ill miss them. u get REALLY attached when its a 56 ep drama lmao
last but not the least the cheng family and ofc yuanyi. i would like to say every mother in this drama got to learn parenting by taking caring of others' kids and every mother had a diff approach. yuanyi was wrong on a lot of accounts but i was glad she actually admitted to where she went wrong and tried to reconcile with shaoshang in the end.
i hated the third prince sm cuz i thought he was a bad person for beating up zisheng until i saw the real scene and realised it was all staged. the third prince had the best character development and honestly i went from extreme hate to extreme love for him he is one of my fav characters now lmao
love like the galaxy is one of a kind. it has just the right amount of drama and all a surplus amount of revenge plot. it has absolutely no unnecessary drama and i love it sm. u really cant go in expecting anything. everything turns out to be opposite of what normally happens in other dramas. i used to think romance of tiger and rose was lusi's best drama but this one changed my mind. idk if its lusi's unmatched chemistry with her leads or what but she always has a way of presenting the best. i really went to watch this show for shaoshang and ended up falling for wu lei no kidding.

En mi top de cdramas del 2022! Maravillosa de principio a fin!
Maravillosa!! Increible! Inolvidable!!! Lo tiene todo, empieza como un drama familiar histórico con minuciosas recreaciones de la vida de una familia militar ascendida a la nobleza debido a las hazañas militares del padre, la protagonista una chica rebelde que ha crecido sola criada por parientes mezquinas y añorando el verdadero amor familiar. La premisa es interesante, el ritmo se desarrolla muy bien, es un coming age de la protagonista muy bien explicado, él, el héroe frio, un joven general ya comandante de los ejércitos del emperador famoso por sus gestas y por su arrojo en la batalla, no hay nada muy novedoso ni original, la historia de amor slow burn es en si misma muy buena, mariposas en el estómago en cada interacción. Pero de golpe la magia ocurre y la historia ya es algo más! Te envuelve en algo épico, trágico, emotivo, no sé.... los personajes no son los típicos chica tonta y bondadosa y tipo frio distante, no...Hasta las historias secundarias te atrapan. Es como un tejido muy bien hilado que va volviéndose más complejo e interesante. En muchos capítulos lloras con lo que les pasa a los personajes, te emocionas y ries. Nada deja indiferente. La fotografía espectacular, las tomas, los ángulos, la belleza visual, ellos están ...indescriptibles...la edición...pero es más..la ost aún sin ser cantada, envuelve y realza la historia de manera sutil, en todos los momentos. No puedes parar de verla! Y todo a su ritmo va cuadrando, va elevándose en todos los aspectos trágicos, amorosos, emotivos...Gran papel de la protagonista, gran química de la pareja, gran protagonista masculino! Magnífico el elenco de secundarios, supremos la abuela, la madre, la emperatriz, la consorte, el emperador, los soldados, todos!!!! Una obra maestra para ver y revisar cada cierto tiempo! Un regalo para los amantes de las series históricas pero creo para gente que usualmente no le guste este género! MUst watch!!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

With all the hype that it's surrounded by, LLTG has a distressingly underwhelming storyline
This being my second historical c-drama, I so regret being cross about Who Rules The World - it was a masterpiece really, especially after watching this.(This is a collective review for both the parts)
I initially thought that this drama would be better than WRTW because of the ratings and reviews on MDL, so maybe it was just because I went in with high expectations, but boy was it annoying. All characters were ridiculously one dimensional ESPECIALLY THE LEADS:
1. The plot - The drama was divided into 2 parts - the first one focused on how the leads were being and, the second part was about how the leads were continuing to be stubborn. There was so much forced angst in this drama to balance out there being no real plot. Everyone was scheming against everyone but no one was getting anywhere. The ML was all calculative about his revenge for 20 years and then suddenly he turns batshit and goes on a killing spree. There is absolutely no excuse for the ML not telling the FL the truth except for continuing the story because frankly the writers had no real idea about how to separate the leads so they just went with this. The funny thing is, I never felt the story was dragging, I was waiting for it to start.
2. The characters - No depth in any character, everyone is one dimensional and dumb. Everyone has one and only one facial expression which they are going to be loyal to throughout the drama. The only characters I actually managed to like were the King's childhood friend wife - Heng and the FL's dad.
3. The leads - They were annoying, the both of them. They continuously made questionable decisions and refused to change. The female lead in the first initial episodes was gearing up to be an interesting character with room for a great character arc but she honestly ended up really disappointing. Same with the ML. The thing is, a lot of their behaviour- being selfish, indecisive, immature - it is all justified when you look at their ages but if you want the viewers to disregard the age factor(she is 15, he is 21) because of it being set in a historic premise, then maybe do a better job with the characters because I just felt majorly uncomfortable throughout most of the drama. The FL continuously whined about 'being her own person' and 'not needing anyone to protect her' which is great and all except she had to be saved like every two minutes. She supposedly became 'mature' after that five year lapse but I could not see much change except that she just became quiet. Honestly, I don't think most dramas are very great at doing character arcs.
4. The actors - The acting felt... underwhelming. I have seen Lusi in previous dramas and honestly think that this was one of her worse performances. Though I mostly blame this on the character and the story itself - there wasn't much room for acting, but seeing the same expression on her face the entire time didn't really help. Plus the whole 'age' thing was really rubbing me off anyway, so whenever she cried (and she cried a lot) she'd remind me of a child and I would feel awkward. This was my first time watching Leo Wu and though I wasn't really drawn to his character or his acting, he really did well in emotional and physically taxing scenes especially considering how narrow of a range his character leaves to express emotions.

A bundle of Joy
I liked that this one did not have backstabbing and betrayal by family members. I felt there might be the typical cousin lover fight but there wasn't and the Cheng Family were very good to each other and entertaining to watch. I was damn impressed with Old lady Cheng, she cracked me up each time :) and there was a lot of cunning schemes and revenge done by the FL which gave me story of minglan vibe and the ML quest to uncover the truth of his _____ death was a long journey of 15 yrs it reminded me of yanxi palace in which FL goes from simple servant in the palace to imperial consort with tons of scheming to finally avenge her sisters rape and murder. Overall it's a good watch the only thing I felt it missed was not seeing them having a family of their own. A scene of them living Shang's dream of simple village kinda life or maybe a scene of Qiqi and Song's kids playing around with their Uncle Zisheng (ML). Ah it would have been a perfect ending. We also missed out on their wedding and the rest of the siblings. Those scenes would have made this the best of the best drama IMO.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Drama emosional romantis
Cerita sangat realistis, cerita menggambarkan seseorang yang masing masing masih memiliki kekurangan.. Alur cerita runtut dan mudah dipahami..Tudak melulu tentang kesedihan namun diselipi juga hal hal yang lucu.. interaksi antar tokoh memiliki chemistry yang sangat bagus.. all cast totally effort.. Yang paling aku suka juga karena cast2 nya kebanyakan cakep cakep semua.. sangat pas.. karena keluarga kerajaan dari raja yang tampan dan ratu yang cantik banyak melahirkan putri dan pangeran yang cakep2 juga..
Cerita sangat detail sampai ke hal hal terkecil.. penggunaan kostum dan make up sangat sesuai..
Penampilan vidio sangat hidup terlihat sangat nyata..
penggunaan aksesoris juga menggambarkan posisi dan sifat pemain.. tidak hanya sekedar aksesoris.. cerita menampilkan trik trik yang saling berkaitan yang nantinya akan terpecahkan satu per satu..
penampilan adegan2 berbahaya juga tidak tanggung2 dan sangat nyata.. melihatnya sudah ikut merinding seolah olah nyata.. keren sekali crew nya..
sepanjang episode mempermainkan emosi, senang sedih haru marah kesal..
hal yang dapat kita ambil dari cerita ini adalah perubahan sifat manusia. dari yang awalnya kekanak2an ketika menghadapi masalah yang besar perlahan lahan menjadi sangat dewasa.. orang yang awalnya sekeras batu setelah mengalami hal yang mengecewakan dan penuh dengan penyesalan akhirnya menjadi sangat lembut dan mau berubah untuk memahami pasangannya.. jadi sifat manusia ini berubah sesuai dengan kondisi yang dialaminya.. ada orang yang pada akhirnya melakukan hal hal yang jahat karena mengalami ketidakadilan selama hidupnya.. ada pembalasan dendam karena telah kehilangan seseorang yang sangat berarti di hidupnya..
Satu hal yang pasti kebohongan pasti akan terbongkar dan pada saat terbongkar akan terjadi banyak kekecewaan..
Bagus banget sudah pokoknya..

Conspiracies!
Everyone she met was conspiring against her and Zisheng all the way to the end. It was obviously their fault for everything bad that happened to the conspirator (sarcasm present).In the end, only 1 friend, 2 men who loved her, the emperor and empress and her family didn't betray her at some point besides Zisheng and his people. Everyone else, no matter how nice they seemed, had an agenda and wanted to end her life at some point.
Also, the emperor's consort aggravated my soul so much. I understand they were childhood sweethearts and that the emperor was forced to marry the empress by their family, but they didn't have to make her life miserable. The drove her so deep into depression, she later died of a broken heart. And I blame them. With the consort acting like she was so magnanimous and going to convince the emperor because she could, with their constant smiling and looking at each other with love like the empress didn't deserve love too. Even to the end, the empress called this rat a sister.

Coming of age and understanding what love is
In part 1, Zhao Lusi was in her element being cheeky, mischievous and lovable. For part 2, we see more serious emotions and she pulls this off very well too making me cry along with her and making my heart ache when she suffers setbacks.With the story involving more of the royal family this time, it was refreshing to see the Consort and the Empress getting along with each other and not get jealous of each other unlike other palace dramas. Consort Yue was my favourite with her sharp tongue and no nonsense attitude.
Skipping forward 5 years was nicely done here with little snippet scenes - something I haven’t seen in a drama before. Watch out for a little humour with “chicken wings” and “rabbit” as a break from all the seriousness.
(Repeat from Part 1 as it still holds true for Part 2)
The cinematography is superb and had those panning scenes which I enjoyed in A Dream of Splendor. Scenery was gorgeous and sets were very realistic. Casting for the extras was very well done and it was so good to see the black guards looking especially tough and rugged unlike some dramas where the guards looked like school boys.
Unfortunately, while I loved the FL, I would have preferred a different ML. Just personal preference on what I would consider handsome. His posture didn’t sit well with me either but other than that he was a good actor who rode the horse very well and had great fighting scenes.

Compliments:
story was pretty good, loved Ling Buyi’s character. Cast was awesome, everyone looked nice and well fit for their role, though I think that Yuan Shangjian did a pretty good job acting as the “annoying pushy” character cause he also played in rebirth for you and his character was completely different. Also another sad show that made me cry a lot.
Complaints:
Number one is costuming, even though this show has probably added a new color palette to all the Chinese dramas, since the color of the entire show is just dark colors. I really think the coloring could have been better and same with costuming. Another complaint is the length of the show, it does not need to be this long again it could have been cut down to maybe 35 episodes and there’s too many side stories that aren’t important and make the show a bit boring and lots of skipping around.

Love grows and people too
Honestly thought that they shouldn't even divide this into 2 parts. I get it that it shows volta, or jump mood- switch mood, in literature jargon but it just makes the difference a lot more obvious and affected the judgment. Part 1 is just a rising action, so a lot of praises go to it because they build the story well. Very well and entertaining I'll give them that. But part 2 starts with climax. When a story starts with climax, if it isn't engaging enough it is easy to get ruin. And the in-story is heavy too. Politics and all. But I still like it cause apart from this, the story was so well done that everything else is forgivable.I like that that they use human emotions well. Not every good man is a bad man and not every bad man is a good man. Because we're human. Things that we do have justifications. What comes around goes around. They played with family institutions well too. You know that in family, once you count the others fault, it will never end. Because family can do the worse to us but also can be the only person stand for us. So nothing should be calculated cause nothing should be count.
'Kan ai kan hen' - dare to love, dare to hate. I thought it was a rare personality too. Since she made clear what she want- often things we can't do nowadays Because she made a very clear line, ngl sometimes you want to screw flexibility in her head. Girl just take a hint. But that what make the show goes I guess. I take a long time to finish part 2, because how heavy the story gets and I can't handle it. (The unpredictable of Zisheng's action make it worse too). I thought Niaoniao doesn't show enough love to Zisheng when she said she love him in the beginning. I always thought that she said she's in love but she didn't look like it. I'm about to complain through the eps, but interestingly it does feel like Niaoniao's love grows, stronger day after day. It was so interesting like she went from 'no i don't love him' to 'yes he's my world'. Zhao Lusi acts well I guess?
I'm glad that they don't rush things. Much. So any complain I had about person's personality or story just dissipate cause they solve it well. Like I said, they use complex human emotions well and solve every complain that I had. All in all, I had a good laugh in part 1, I had a good cry in part 2.

Provavelmente o melhor drama histórico de sempre! ?
Já vi inúmeros dramas históricos mas sem dúvida alguma este é o meu favorito e foi o que mais me prendeu ao ecrã! Existe uma dosagem de emoções entre episódios, uns são realmente cómicos e outros são de partir o coração.Não sou fã de nenhum destes actores mas adorei o papel de todos, em especial dos actores principais e do fabuloso imperador. Achei que os actores principais tiveram imensa química em todo o drama, principalmente nos últimos episódios em que intrepertaram os seus papéis de forma espectacular.
Todo o drama é super cativante, desde o desenrolar da história, aos personagens intrepretados ou até mesmo a música escolhida, tudo se conjuga na perfeição!
Confesso que já vi o drama 3 vezes e acabei por ver pormenores que me tinham escapado na primeira vez.
Teve um final feliz e um pouco cómico também.
Sinto-me como o imperador no final... 🤣

Although 10 episodes were cut, I thought it was still great. This drama had amazing cinematography, music, light hearted moments, anxiety driven moments, great chemistry and offered us a happy ending.
I haven't cried with a drama in a long time, and yes I tend to cry where there are daddy issues.... Lol. But I cried with this drama. I cried when they lost their loved ones, I cried when the characters reconciled with each other, I cried during the happy moments. I cried when family members made up. It was perfect.

Love like the Galaxy and Moon Lovers are the only dramas that made me feel alive.
I was actually planning to watch Who Rules the World first but decided to watch this because it's Top 1 on WeTV. This is the first Cdrama that I've ever watched and I really got hooked right from the start. The actors and actresses portrays the character very well. I can feel all the emotions that they are expressing. It's not yet completed but I'll surely miss them all. I can't wait to watch the next episodes and worse is that I saw the spoilers and now I can't think anything but it. LOLOLOL Overall, Love Like the Galaxy is really worth watching. I hope for more dramas like this in the future.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
