Living up to the expectations
Fans had huge expectations for this drama after viewing its' star-studded cast of Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat. After completing the drama I can finally say that they definitely didn't disappoint their fans and lived up to the expectations. Their chemistry was off the charts. I loved them together. I usually enjoy slow-paced mature romance dramas. This too was a slow-paced drama with things building up slowly. But you would not feel the urge to fast forward the scenes as they are not boring at all.I loved how their relationship built up slowly yet into a strong one. They both came to understand each other and love each other. This drama revolves around the main couple only. The story doesn't have much of an impactful supporting character. But either way, the supporting characters played their roles quite well.
Coming back to the chemistry between the main couple, you would end up craving more of them. You can say it is a romance between an ML with high IQ and a FL with a high EQ. They both played their roles well. They ended up becoming our glory.

OK, but doesn't live up to the hype
This is a pleasant drama, without any real sparks. I expected more from these actors and from the level of hype.Biggest plus is the eye candy of the actors.
Biggest minus -- there's just not a lot of depth there. The first few episodes were very bland. Things got more interesting in the middle, but faded again towards the end. There really wasn't a lot of chemistry in the relationship at any point -- just sort of generic friendly. The best acting was when they were alone: Yang Yang in the episodes in which his friend is sick, and Dilraba in the scene at the very end where she's on the phone asking for a divorce (in a show that her character is acting in).
The aerospace engineering scenes are a disaster. Other than the gender imbalance of the staff, and the fact that Yu Tu plays online games, nothing else is really portrayed correctly. (I'm an engineer, and just like medical doctors who don't like medical portrayals, most computer or engineering portrayals leave a lot to be desired.)
The story follows the book closely.
ORIGINAL REVIEW, WRITTEN AFTER SEEING THE FIRST 8 EPISODES.
THESE COMMENTS STILL HOLD.
This is a pleasant drama, without any real sparks. Chemistry between leads is adequate, but again, not exciting -- Yang Yang's character in "King's Avatar" had more romantic chemistry (and that wasn't even a romance). The plotline is almost exactly the same as "Love Scenery," but much emptier. In YAMG, they basically play the game, with vague hints at events happening in their professional lives. LS had more depth to the plot, *much* better chemistry between leads, and better connections to friends.
There are no stupid FL moments, and she does a pretty reasonable job defending her capabilities. (The promo paragraph says she's "just average," but that's not how it's played.) Her eating disorder is annoying, but sadly unsurprising.
I enjoyed the CG for the game when they do a 3D holographic reconstruction on the dining room table. This unfortunately only happens a couple times. You aren't going to understand the game (esp the teamwork issues) unless you've played League of Legends or watched "Falling into Your Smile."
I expected more from these actors and from the level of hype. So far, it aligns pretty closely to the webnovel. I'll keep watching because it's a reasonable filler leave-your-brain-at-the-door kind of show.

Fans From Indonesia
I'm a big fan of Yang and Dilraba, this drama is the drama I've been waiting forI really didn't expect you to be together in this drama, I hope you will meet again in other and more romantic dramas.

BEST C-DRAMA OF 2021
First of all. the drama does not follow the usual plots such as leading man being a rich boss, not also the mean/ cold leading man at all. I assure you'll all love the acting and the story. Its still on its 16 ep but really worth to finish and rewatch all over again. Might as well find it hard to move on from this drama. The acting was so good that you'll end up smiling the whole time. But for those who don't have experience with such games, you guys might find it hard to understand and relate with the drama but I think that most of us can because gaming is widely popular nowadays. Regarding YangYang's aerospace thing, I really don't understand a thing haha, but its nice seeing him loving what he likes since his character shows that he struggles with his profession. Dilraba on the other hand, being an actress, she did well too and between these actors, we can really see the chemistry. I mean there is really a spark between them like why the hell did they lead a drama only this year haha. I hope to see them again in another dramas, I really hope so hahaWas this review helpful to you?
Not Captivating, But Yu Tu Saves Some Scenes
You Are My Glory ended up being a disappointment for me, mainly because it never managed to truly hold my attention.The aerospace-related storyline was, honestly, very boring and dry. It dragged a lot and made many episodes feel unnecessarily long.
The only part I found somewhat engaging was the gaming aspect. As someone who has played League of Legends, I enjoyed the gaming scenes more than expected, even without any prior knowledge of Honor of Kings. That was the one element that felt more dynamic.
Unfortunately, the romance was very weak for most of the drama. I never felt a strong emotional connection between Qiao Jing Jing and Yu Tu.
I especially struggled to connect with Qiao Jing Jing as a character, which made it hard to care about the relationship. With Yu Tu, I did feel a bit more connection, and he was the only character that somewhat kept me watching, I would even be interested in checking out another drama centered around him.
The lack of chemistry was very clear in episode 25, particularly during the bed scene. The dialogue felt awkward and unnatural, and instead of being romantic, it was just cringe and uncomfortable.
Episode 26 had the potential to create more tension, but certain elements ruined the moment, like the oversized watch Yu Tu was wearing, which distracted me completely and broke the scene’s impact.
That said, in the final episodes, there were small moments where their relationship started to feel more believable, and their physical attraction became more apparent. It was subtle, but you could finally sense some chemistry and mutual desire developing, though it still didn’t fully make up for the lack of emotional connection earlier in the drama.
Compared to my first C-Drama, Speed and Love, which had real romantic tension from start to finish, You Are My Glory felt forced in its romance, and many intimate scenes were awkward rather than engaging.
Overall, I didn’t find this drama captivating. Many parts felt slow and dull, to the point where I started skipping scenes.
Eventually, I emotionally checked out, and at a certain point, I simply gave up on the drama altogether. Despite its popularity, it wasn’t engaging enough to keep me invested.
Rating: 5.5/10

Perfect female lead and male lead with flaws.
Short review!To me. this drama is well-known among cdrama watchers. Of course, aside from the top liuliangs played the role I honestly understand why this show is a hit. An aerospace engineer with a female superstar is a weird combination honestly, but I love the dynamics here. No matter what our profession are, love can overcome everything.
To me. Qiao Jingjing is so precious and perfect. We barely seen any female lead character as perfect as she is in cdrama. Usually, it would be a flawless male lead, But here, Jingjing is the one with zero flaws - she has a stable career, she is wise, smart, pretty, high EQ, kind-hearted and everything. I also like how Jingjing is actually very simple-minded despite being a top celebrity
However, for YuTu he is a genius but he lacks in confidence after he grows up due to his occupation and that is totally understandable. He is insecure most of the time so in the plot I can see that he is struggling in half of the series. This is why I said Jingjing is so perfect to me that she will stand by his side and support him. But sadly, he has this prejudices against Jingjing, I think due to his job, past and profession.
Normally, in cdrama male lead would not lack anything. Name it, he has everything from A to Z. This is why I think it is nice to see how he deals with his confidence and insecurity. Actually it can be handled if he has someone to support him because he only needs support and reassurance from people around him and that is when Qiao Jingjing come to the rescue HAHAHHA my beautiful parents :))
YuTu and Qiao Jingjing to me is the definition of a healthy relationship, this is what will happen if a matured and adult couple in a relationship.

UNBEARABLE !!!
Plot: a movie star is the ambassador of a mobile game. Her fans find out that she actually sucks at playing, forcing her into looking for a tutor able to make her look like a pro player.
Fate brings her old highschool crush back into her life as her sensei. Will they rikindle their relationship?
PREMISE🗯️
I really liked the premise of the show. Two ex school mates meeting again after years , living totally different lives. I expected to see two worlds collide and fight to be together in their own way. I waited invane unfortunately..
THE DRAMA🗯️
It seemed that this drama had in mind how to set things in motion but not how to develop them.
After the initial clash, once the main couple gets together the show becomes unbearable to watch.
There is nothing here to watch and enjoy. It is basically episode after episode of two people dating. I kid you not. I dropped this on episode 28 and the last 10ish episodes are literally them dating, hugging, introducing their respective partner to other people.
There is no conflict, no development.
The characters are supposed to life different lives, which they do, but it never brings anything interesting to the screen.
THE CHARACTERS 🗯️🗯️
At the beginning of the show we are introduced to our protagonists.
MALE LEAD🗯️🗯️
I think they did a good job with the male lead.
I loved that they actually showed his work instead of just giving him a title and never show what he actually does. Unfortunately they gave this part "too much* screen time. It wasn't boring to watch, but it wasn't particularly intriguing either. If you don't care about that you'll probably drop out of the drama even before I did.
His is only the characters that has an actual backstory, conflicts and worries.
on the other hand he's also a very boring character and frankly bossy.
I liked his "struggles" but I didn't like his personality. the only thing he was good at was the flirting.
I particularly disliked they way after rejecting the FL, he just came back and became pushy.
He even said things like "my expectations were higher"(meaning he though she would throw her self on him), that in some way he "blamed" her for asking him out when he wasn't ready.
Something about that interaction really rubbed me the wrong way.
You can come and go as you please but she has to immediately fall for you? No thank you.
He is also an asshole to his ex. In one scene we see them talking and he literally says "I expected to date you not expecting to ever reciprocate your feelings". Excuse you?? What does that even mean?
In highschool he rejected our FL saying "I can't date because I want someone that can walk with me all the way" but than he says that to the girl who became his actual girlfriend?
FEMALE LEAD🗯️🗯️
The female lead is adorable. This is my first time seeing dilraba play a joyfull character. I always see her fighting monsters 🤣 she did a good job. Unfortunately, her character is paper thin.
She has no story. All her scenes, expect for the initial tournament, revolve around the ml.
She has no backstory, no struggles, no conflicts. Her being a star plays no roll in her development. There is never an issue with fans, paparazzi, a scandal, beef with actors. She is just a golden retriever without a care in the world.
The only part I really like except her personality , is that fact that when the ml chickens out , she does not wait for him. She is not swayed by his sweet words and actually stands her ground. It was refreshing to see in a romantic drama, where female leads usually give in immediately.
THE EXES🗯️🗯️
At he very beginning of the drama we are introduced to both the ml and FL exes. It looks like they were there to stirr some drama but they actually disappear from the screen the second after they are introduced. Why even bother having them in the cast?
STUFF I DISLIKED🗯️🗯️
❌there are too many flashbacks, especially Flashbacks of scenes we just saw. They literally replay the moment a few seconds after it happened.
❌Too many slow motions scenes. I skipped so many scenes of them just looking into the void and looking sad.
❌the amount of times someone says that the ml is good looking. Oh boy... It was in insane. We are talking about dozen of times. Maybe a hundred.
❌The kisses were bad. Static and lifeless.
❌Nothing happens in the show.
THINGS I LIKED✅✅
Female lead personality. Surface level but cute.
The moving story of the ml collegue and his sickness.
I would recommend this drama only if you like watching couples date (even though they are apart for most of the show).

The actors were very good ,lovely and professional specially yang yang
Over all .. this drama is one of good dramas that can be watched many time
They focused on one love story of the main leads and without wasting time on any second lead actor who needs to separate them ..and that's a good thing
Even the first few episodes are slow as some people said but I let my brother watch it and he likes games so he told me that he enjoyed the game part

A simple heartwarming of our GLORY COUPLE <3
This is just to add with all positive review YAMG got because deserveeeee!Among the drama I've watch in 2021, this is the most simple yet interesting story of our main lead. All the plot just make sense and their love story flow so natural that even us as a watcher can feel touch by it. The dialogue is eloquent and witty! I'll wrote a simple review for anyone who still wonder if this drama is worth it? I'LL SAY YES!! For a contemporary romance drama this is one of kind that I don't find the story to be boring take for example the first 15 eps, It focus more on the game as that's the reason our cp meet again and get to know each other. Even for me who's not interested of game could feel the excitement at the end of the game arc because how good the editing for the game setting. After that we could see more focus on the aerospace part and how the love story between high IQ male lead and high EQ female lead :'))
What make it more special, the time skip. They don't just end it with a sudden marriage because let's be honest, both of them is such a busy person so I found the time gaps (the first one 2yrs) to be so realistic because after all this drama is about the struggle of how they keep up healthy relationship right? and the sec time skip to show the rocket launch of our male lead after all his effort. We know that's not the end of his and her so let's hope YuJing is happily married anywhere <3
the ost is chef kisses and I'll probably re-watch it later!
I barely give out 10 so 9 is good! Maybe I could wish for more sad touching scene? who know :D

A Simple, Slice of Life, That Truly Captures Life's Hardships
This drama is a true slice of life, meaning it shows life's happy moments, but also the emotional, hard, and lonely moments. There wasn't a single scene I felt bored during. I think this is one of the best dramas that really strips a relationship down to the core, with no extra drama, misunderstandings, random love triangles, and unnecessary storylines. It simply focused on the relationship itself, and how two adults maturely lead a relationship, and how deep the connection of love is. Dilraba and Yang Yang acted perfectly. I was surprised a little at Yang Yang's depth in acting out the true feelings of an aerospace engineer, and how he felt like he was absent for his family, and his troubles with balancing his dream and his want to take care of people in his life. Dilraba did really great as QJJ too, showing how a celebrity can be down to earth and humble.Story
The story of this drama was great, without many misunderstandings and showing us the cutest and fluffiest moments. I got immersed in a lot of these moments, and felt like I was in the scene too. These scenes and the actors definitely gave me tingles in my stomach just watching them. There was no second lead couple, which I thought was good because it got the main couple more exposure and time to develop their storyline in depth. The side stories about each of their careers were also really nicely thought out, and gave a nice insight into their lives and careers, and how they manage their busy lives.
Music
The OST really fit the mood of the drama. The song that played during the most fragile romantic moments (right before they get together) was so healing to listen to in the background. I think the best song in the soundtrack is Time Monologue by Lala Hsu. But I think the whole album is really good.
Overall
Overall definitely a 9.5 drama. The only reason I would dock points is for not showing us if they had a kid or not. Imagine how cute that would be! Rewatch value is really high, and I highly recommend this drama for anyone looking for something that has a lot of focus on the couple, but also has no unnecessary plot arcs and misunderstandings.
