Fun and easy to watch
Just one word: funny. I laughed on almost every episode for this drama. This is so entertaining to watch, especially when you're just stranded at home in this pandemic and can't go out. Every episode is only about 20 minutes (minus the opening and closing theme song), so it's easy to binge watch the drama. I initially watch this drama because of Xiao Zhan, but ended up liking many of the characters. My first Zhao Lu Si drama and she is so funny in most scenes that she's in. The story is about time travel, similar to Scarlett Heart and The Eternal Love, but this one is more entertaining and easier to digest. I like the ending theme as well, so I never skip the songs.Was this review helpful to you?

Fluffy enjoyable drama
After watching The Bad Kids which is super good but very dark, I need to find something that's light and romantic and doesn't haunt me even after I have finished watching the drama. When I saw that the last day to watch this drama on Netflix is July 31st, I gave it a try. I went in without any expectation, I only want to see Roy Chiu's handsome face.But the story pulled me in from the first place. It's nothing unique, an heir of a department store who is a spoiled brat through and through has to start from the bottom of the company for him to inherit the company. Along the way he meets a staff from the operations department who is able to change him from a spoiled brat to a responsible person. I have to say I really enjoyed the transformation and the chemistry between Roy Chiu and the female lead. There are also some funny moments. The other cast members are also fun to watch, although sometimes they can be really silly.
What irritates me the most is for Zheng Kai Er not getting a bad ending that she deserved. I really hate her and i wished the writer would give her a bad ending, instead of giving a materialistic bitch another heir to marry. Arrrghhh not happy with this.. Otherwise I would have given this drama a 9 or 9.5 rating. This really irritates me.

Funny at the beginning but too draggy
When I started this series, I really like it, especially because I like the handsome Wallace Huo. The first half of the series is interesting and there are some funny moments that make me laugh. Wallace and Tiffany has great chemistry in this drama. The story is nothing special, but I thought it was light and funny. Somehow towards the second half of the drama it became draggy and the FL and ML storyline started to be weird. However, I'm not one that drops drama midway, so I continue to watch, but not seriously watching, only looking at Wallace Huo's scenes. Overall, this is not a drama that I would recommend. There are better ones to spend your drama watching time on. If you like Wallace Huo or Tiffany Tang, you can watch the first half, it's funny, but really wouldn't recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Too long...
Overall this is an interesting story and I have to be honest that the reason I watch this was because of Chris Wang. The first 1/3 of the series are pretty good but it sort of dragged on in the middle and I sort of lost interest along the way. But I managed to finish it. What I like about this drama is that it's light, there's no one villain that really irritates you and makes you want to throw things to your television. It's light and has some warm and funny moments. However, 84 episodes is just too long :) The music is great. I love the OST. As for rewatch value, i wouldn't want to rewatch this. Re-watching 84 episodes takes too much time and I don't have any particular likings to the character.Was this review helpful to you?
Love the chemistry
This is the third installment of The Eternal Love. Similar storyline but this time there is gender role reversal, where the king is a woman and women have more power and domineering over men, for example, women take male concubine, male do the cooking etc. I thought it's funny that way and adds a new twist to the story. Most of the major cast from seasons 1 and 2 are still here. They keep the same female and male lead which I think gives continuation to the series. I have watched several c-drama sequels with different cast and somehow that feels like a new drama and I find myself comparing them to the previous actress/actor. The chemistry between the two leads are still there and what I enjoyed most about The Eternal Love series and frankly what made me watch this straight away. They are so cute and funny together. And I have to give special mention to the kissing scenes. There is aplenty and those who shipped this couple will definitely enjoy it. As for me, it's just a bit much, but i think it's the most kissing scenes that I've seen in any c-drama :)The same music from seasons 1 and 2 is still there (with a couple of new ones) and I like them. As for re-watch value, maybe further down the road when I need something light and funny.

This unexpectedly becomes one of my favorite
To comply with the government regulation, Love Like A Galaxy is divided into two parts, to keep episodes below 40. The total episodes for the whole parts is 56. I'm glad they did not just cut here and there to keep the drama to just 40 episodes. It would not be as good otherwise. They divided the drama really well. Part 1 deals mostly with the character introductions and background. You get to see some character development, especially the FL and ML. Cheng Shao Shang started out as a rebellious girl that was left by her parents since she was a baby, to the care of her "evil-lish", annoying, materialistic, selfish grandmother and second aunt. The first part is about Shao Shang's life outside of the palace, and more about her family. This is an unexpectedly good drama, one that i will put on my favorites and will re-watch in the future, time permitted.Was this review helpful to you?

Not worth your time
This drama started out strong and kept me interested until around episode 18 or 19 (I forgot). I really like the chemistry between Zhang Zhe Han and Ju Jing Yi as the ML and FL and the first half was filled with interesting interactions between those two, as well as some sweet moments that made me go through a couple of times. When I get past that half-way mark, particularly after they became a married couple, the story is lost on me, it becomes draggy, and FL becomes a very annoying, selfish and unreasonable character a lot of the times. I felt that there are some plot holes and the political part of the story I thought was a mess, and the ending, although a happy one, felt a bit rushed to me. Similar to other reviewers' comments, the motivation behind Duke An's revenge and his jealousy seems like a lame part of the story. They could have developed the story better and make him a better villain. Acting is just so-so, and to be honest I'm only watching this for Zhang Zhe Han, but even then I thought his acting here is just so-so.I have to give a special mention to the second ML and FL Wu Bai Qi and Fu Xuan. They're so sweet, Wu Bai Qi is my favorite character in this drama. I would have given this drama a lower rating if not for him and ZZH's sweet moments with JJY.
Music is okay, but I found that no particular song (opening or ending theme) strikes my fancy and I did not add any of the songs from this series to my playlist. Maybe if i am more emotionally invested in the series, the songs would be nicer to listen to as I reminisce the moments from the series, but noooooooooo.....
Rewatch Value: NO WAY. I have a long list of dramas to watch, so I am not coming back to watch this draggy and boring drama.
I would not recommend you watching this drama, except you are an even bigger fans of Zhang Zhe Han than I am and can be content with poor story lines as long as you can see his handsome face (because we won't see him again in future dramas :(... sad)
