A swoony romance

You Are My Glory is the story of Yu Tu a Space Engineer who -at 30 yo- is experimenting a life crisis as he's torn between staying in his field -which despite being his dream career isn't lucrative, or going into Finance.

It's also the story of Qiao Jing Jing an A list star who has been embroiled in a scandal because she is not good at playing the video game she endorses and now has to prove her worth in an upcoming event.

Both of them were classmates in high school and meet again after 10 years through the video game and that's how the romance will unfold...

I wasn't expediting anything the first time I watched this drama as I didn't really know the actors but I was enthralled by the story which is simple but mature.

The characters don't have silly misunderstandings and the problems faced by the ML can resonate with many.
On one hand, 30 years old can be seen as being a crossroad, a point in which it might be the last chance for one to change the course of their career.
On another hand, with the ML's character, the drama highlights the struggle it can be to not be able to become a "good enough" provider because one doesn't work in a lucrative field.

Despite these messages, the drama stays simple and sweet. There is no love triangle or silly misunderstandings. The apparition of the exes could easily be blink and misses - their characters aim to show what the main leads don't want in their partners and what they are not ready to give up for a relationship.

The main leads' relationship is swoon worthy and sweet. I loved their banters and the way their mutual interest and relationship built steadily.

Dilraba and Yang Yang have great chemistry and I just loved watching them on screen.

Loved the OST. Especially Fireworks and Stars which became personal favourites of mine.

I give this drama a strong 10 because it's the second time I'm watching this drama and I still love it as much as the first time.
