I started watching this series because the reviews were amazing. The trailer was very intriguing and overall it just drew me. The first 12 episodes were really good. The relationship between Xiaofeng and Gu Xiao Wu was also nice. Chemistry was interesting and overall acting, cinematography and especially the side characters were great. I loved the Danchi tribe and how Xiaofeng's personality was. She had self respect and a sense of power. She was like a bright star filled with innocence and kindness Everyone respected her and loved her. Her grandfather was truly the best. I seriously would emphasize that the first 12 episodes were the best.

Somehow after the first arc ends, it gets very lame. After the 25th episode it get's a bit boring. I hate Gu Xiao Wu or Li Cheng Yin. He was such a terrible person. It was always quest for power for him. Even when he was trying to protect Xiaofeng from other people, he was so mean to her. I don't even understand how she could love him again or when he actually fell in love with her again. Li Cheng Yin was really a terrible character. His acting was good but I somehow feel that this drama lost it's budget halfway. The story just kept on being prolonged for no reason. The development of chemistry in the eastern palace was so boring. Literally did Xiaofeng have nothing better to do in the palace?

Even though I saw this drama, I really won't recommend it to someone. I also have seen a few other tragedy dramas but this one was not a good one. Acting wise, the cast did a good job but plot wise I think it failed.

The costumes were beautiful. The acting was also great. No character had just one side to him or her. The OST's were really good. I will appreciate the good elements of the dramas but the middle portion of the drama was a bit weak.

Should you watch this drama?

So there is a high chance that you might be wondering if you should watch this drama. My answer is YES because this drama is actually really unique. You are my glory is a romantic story between a top actress and an aerospace engineer. I think with this description, you might be expecting a very cliche plot with maybe reversed "rich girl poor boy roles"... but it's not at all like that.

This drama is beautifully scripted and has a great pace. I especially love the pace of this drama from episode 15 onwards. At the start, you might find that the drama is focused on gaming but that's the uniqueness of this drama. It's very versatile with many subthemes and as the drama progresses, so does the main theme. There is a focus on gaming, acting, aerospace engineering, space curiosity, friendship, romance (of course!), and for the first time in a long time, no unnecessary drama!

You won't find evil mean characters, backstabbing ex's, unnecessarily prolonged dramatic events, or plots that annoy your brain. Instead, you would find two very sensible, realistic, and mature characters with their own respective lives and their journey towards each other and how they fall in love. They have different friends (adding many new characters to the mix), they live different lives (but in a good way), they have their own special place in their hearts for careers (they work really hard and still maintain a healthy work-life balance), they also have really nice/sweet families who are really supportive, and just adorable scenes that would make one's heart flutter or at least make you giggle (which is a must because it's a romantic drama!).

So this is my conclusion... I seriously suggest that you watch it and give it a try. It's a really good drama that I came across after a long time. Hope my review helps!
