I have never been this crazy over a C-drama!
I first saw this drama's trailer around a few weeks before the premiere. I already heard about Yang Yang and Dilraba pairing quite long time ago, but as I didn't like Dilraba (because of her acting in Ten Miles of Peach Blossom), I wasn't really paying attention on You Are My Glory.
Then, I saw the first trailer and was completely blown away by their chemistry and not so common dialogues unlike any other modern Cdramas. OMG not only they are so gorgeous, they can act so good! I already knew Yang Yang back then when he starred as Ye Hua in the movie version of Ten Miles of Peach Blossom.
First of all, I will review a bit about the story. I have never seen Love 020 or any other Gu Man's works, but this kind of story really touches my deepest heart as Yu Tu's struggles on his life and career path and Jing Jing's genuine love and support for Yu Tu are the things that make this drama so different from any other dramas. Yu Tu's profession is also one of a kind. As what the drama describes his job as "one of the most romantic profession" is definitely true. The depiction how he changes from a kinda stoic and always composed, never did something impulsive to a person who can give cheeky banters with Jing Jing and often smiles like his life finally lit up because of Jing Jing. This kind of change is not somewhat dramatic, but the progress is very subtle but you can see his progress in every episode. I really like how Gu Man tells her story. I already read the novel and I liked it. Her way of telling story is beautiful.
The romantic scenes will surely satisfy your thirst for sweet but not cheesy scenes. They are just like normal couple out there but with really mature mindset, therefore there aren't any unnecessary misunderstandings after they got together. It's more of a dream-chasing together drama. So beautiful.
Secondly, the acting from almost all the actors and actresses are really good. I really like Yang Yang's portrayal as Yu Tu. His eyes and micro movements are very good and on point (my ultimate favorite was his expression on the last scene of Ep 16). Also, I don't think no one can replace Dilraba as Qiao Jing Jing. Her tone and expression match so well without being too much. She is naturally cute as Jing Jing. She does not try to act cute, but it just flows naturally within her.
The OST. Sorry, but I don't find the OST to be somewhat really special. However, Fireworks and Stars by Liu Yu Ning is good and match the scene very well. I like Fireworks and Stars when it is played as an instrumental music. Just simply beautiful.
Rewatch value? Of course 10! I will rewatch my favorite scenes and episodes. Just not the game things. Oh, if you are not gamers or a fan of game-themed dramas, don't worry. You can skip those parts and just focused on Yang Yang and Dilraba's interaction.
Caution, this is a slow burn romance type of drama. Not angsty type of drama, but a light-hearted drama with depth. Definitely worth to watch
