Você É Minha Glória (2021)

One of my favorite couples - romance is heartwarming

8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2021 Chinese Romantic comedy set against an e-sport backdrop. There are 32, 35 minute episodes (actual episode time ranges from from 30-45 minutes).

First I will provide a synopsis then a review.

Synopsis:
Qiao Jingjing (Dilraba Dilmurat) is a model, singer and actress who is isolated from regular social contact because of her fame. As such, she is only able to keep up with what is going on with former classmates through her close friends. One former classmate in particular, the guy who got away, Yu Tu (Yang Yang), turned her down in high school but she has never forgotten him. Years have passed but he is still handsome and brilliant and broke up with a long term girlfriend Yu Tu finds out through her circle of friends. She discovers by accident that he is a very skilled player in the mobile game Honor of Kings, which is a game she is advertising for. When fans found out she had been playing the game she needs to become a master or risk loosing the sponsorship to someone else. Looking for an excuse to see her former flame, Jingjing tricks Yu Tu into a face to face meeting for the purpose of enlisting his help as a tutor on Honor of Kings.

Review: (contains spoilers)

The romance portion is one of the best I have watched. I absolutely love the couple they represents everything that comprises a good relationship. They support each other and try to understand the other person's perspective. Although both have jobs that keep them away for long periods of time they ensure they are able to be part of each other's daily lives. She is no push over. When he rejects her she doesn't beg she walks away. When he decides he wants to be in a relationship with her she doesn't immediately accept his feelings. There are scenes when they are together where it is like they are the only ones in the room. When she was out with their classmates and he found out where she was he zeroed in on her. She was the most important person to him in that room and that shifted their relationship and made it so she believed he was sincere in his feelings after having rejected her earlier. The chemistry was there between them and they represented relationship goals.

Jinjing was someone who was fun to be around and amazing beyond her fame. It made it easy to understand how he could have fallen in love with her. She was mischievous, which was enjoyable to watch and was part of her overall confidence and unwillingness to accept being treated poorly. Both of the main characters underwent a lot of character development to become the best version of themselves for each other. She became less focused on material things and he became more fun loving.

I loved the sets and scenery. I felt like I saw parts of modern China that I had not seen to date. There were some beautiful places with lights, flowers, sculptures, architecture that showed the modern aspect(s) of portions of China. As they traveled, you got to see the diverse geography from desert to more tropical landscapes and from country to city. I felt like I got a mini tour of China it was nice.

There was slice of life of her career as a Chinese idol and that aspect was interesting and there was also slice of life of his career as a aerospace engineer. I found the aerospace engineering aspect less interesting because there were these long stretches where it was just him solving various aspects of space engineering puzzles. I remember when I was younger a popular saying was "I am not a rocket scientist" which was a self effacing way of saying you weren't an expert on something. It could also mean something was simply to do "it's not rocket science." In this case he was a rocket scientist and they went pretty far into the details of what he did to provide that slice of life. For me, I found it boring and actually fast forwarded through some episodes because it didn't show her much at all and was just focused on his issues surrounding his work. They could have cut out maybe 4-6 episodes that had heavy focus on rocket science. They didn't show Jinjing's work as much and her lifestyle was, to me, the more interesting of the two.

Overall I enjoyed this a lot and this is one of my top couples now. What detracted for me was just the unnecessary depth on rocket science. I recommend this highly, may watch parts of it again but would fast forward as I did through the "dry" episodes where not much is happening between them.

Not as exciting as I thought it would be, but still great.

Perhaps it's because of the high expectations I had before starting this, but this was not the masterpiece I expected it to be because of the reviews. It is definitely a perfectly romantic and heart-fluttering drama but not for those who prefer something more fast-paced.
It started out with the story of him helping her out for a game tournament during his break, which is a unique and sort of engaging storyline but after that not much was going on besides their romantic life, which i found cute but overdone as it went on for the full last quarter of the drama. The first half did have my attention, but i had to skip a lot of boring scenes (including most of the male lead's work), which made me wonder if i should keep watching. Overall not a bad drama, just wish it didnt entirely revolve around their romance.

Pochi conflitti per una storia molto convincente

Questo drama è stato per me una piacevole sorpresa. Della bravura di Dilraba non dubitavo perché l'avevo già vista diverse volte in precedenza, ma non mi aspettavo che Yang Yang, oltre che bello da paura, fosse anche così bravo. E devo anche riconoscere che praticamente la totalità degli attori e personaggi di spalla e di contorno ha fatto un lavoro egregio. Molti personaggi tra cui sicuramente i principali hanno conosciuto una piacevole evoluzione, ed è stato veramente gradevole vedere il procedere della relazione fra i due protagonisti. Entrambi sono stati caratterizzati come persone molto verosimili, con pregi e difetti. Reali. Grandi assenti le lunghissime incomprensioni tanto care ai drama, che dividono i protagonisti per decenni... Qui, dopo un inizio un po' burrascoso, le cose filano lisce. Con nostro grande piacere.
Per quanto riguarda la storia, non si può dire che abbia conosciuto uno svolgimento particolarmente aggressivo. Le conflittualità sono state obiettivamente poche, eppure ciò non ha minimamente inficiato il valore dell'intrattenimento di questa serie. L'unico appunto che forse si può fare è il fatto che nelle prime puntate l'attenzione si focalizzi tutta su un videogioco, mentre nel prosieguo questo aspetto viene praticamente a sparire. La seconda parte infatti è molto più dedicata all'impresa aerospaziale, forse un po' troppo, perché la carriera di Dilraba, che pure prosegue, passa un poo' in secondo piano.
E qui veniamo a quella che è forse un po' la nota dolente di questa serie: la grandeur dell'autocompiacimento cinese per le proprie imprese. Ma, dico io, basta guardare un film americano per incappare in autocompiacimenti di livello anche superiore, che francamente hanno stufato da mo'.
Più che altro, si ha l'impressione che questo drama, che utilizza attori già adulti e che sembra rivolgersi a un pubblico non prettamente di ragazzine, voglia affrontare il discorso delle convenzioni sociali e dell'importanza che ha per il grande paese lo spirito di sacrificio di coloro che lavorano nei campi scientifici.
Ma il mio pensiero è: se è così importante avere degli scienziati, degli ingegneri aerospaziali così bravi e preparati, perché non pagarli un po' di più in modo che non siano costretti ad abbandonare la professione per cercare uno stipendio più dignitoso per la famiglia? D'accordo lo spirito di sacrificio, ma il merito andrebbe ricompensato.
Detto questo, occorre rilevare come ci siano state diverse scene piuttosto... diciamo accattivanti, con baci bollenti e conversazioni suggestive che hanno reso diverse puntate abbastanza birichine, molto più di come siamo abituati guardando le opere cinesi. Bisogna riconoscere che Yang Yang sa come baciare davanti alla macchina da presa e i suoi sguardi e le sue espressioni sono materia per sogni bagnati. Non so se sia doppiato, ma se questa è la sua voce, tanta roba. Sarà che ho visto questa serie d'estate, ma per certe scene ci vuole un ventaglio. O un ventilatore. E un ghiacciolo. La chimica fra questi due è esplosiva, sono di una naturalezza incredibile, sembrano fatti l'uno per l'altra. Non c'è possibilità di elementi di disturbo né per lui né per lei: i vecchi amori di entrambi non hanno mai avuto alcuna possibilità e infatti sono spariti ben presto, rimessi a posto con poche secche parole.
Anche le musiche sono state molto gradevoli, ci sono stati dei pezzi strumentali molto piacevoli e molto ben utilizzati nei momenti in cui servivano, e anche le canzoni opening ending e insert si sono lasciate ascoltare molto volentieri.
In sunto, un dramma molto piacevole che, proprio perché prodotto di intrattenimento così lineare, gentile e simpatico, a mio parere regge benissimo una seconda visione, anche solo per vedere l'interazione di questi due, così teneri.
Non aspettatevi colpi di scena e scintille ad ogni episodio, perché le scintille di questo drama le fanno i due protagonisti che, già da soli, riescono a rendere questo lavoro indimenticabile. Aggiungiamoci tutto il contorno, che è fatto molto bene, e abbiamo un drama assolutamente da non perdere.

No stretchy plot, no extreme jealousy, and void of ex-relationships ruckus....????

Started this drama on 22nd Feb 2022 and was so hooked to it that competed on 24th Feb 2022....😄😄

Most importantly, this drama portrayed a relationship between two vastly different professionals so perfectly., that it's obvious for the viewers to binge watch it....😍

A drama with strong cast, power packed performance, promising story, some steamy scenes(but not much), and much more.....

Apart from that , struggle behind every successful launch for any space project is wonderfully shown.💯

YangReba fans should definitely watch this drama without any hesitations.

A SWEET BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!

This drama has the right balance of sweetness, laughter and romance. It was absolutely perfect.. Great cast, the lead couple couldn't be any cuter together!!!!!! They're stunning together. Dilraba is truly an amazing actress, First saw her in Love Designer and lover her!! she is the perfect romantic lead, what a perfect pairing with Jang Jang!!! I first saw him in The King's Avatar loved him ever since. This is added to my top favorite Chinese Romance drama. Great acting, the chemistry between the leads was on point. I was scared for a second, that there would be a love triangle... Thankfully no unnecessary relationship drama, just a smooth, beautiful flow. This is definitely high on the re-watch scale... I will be re- watching for sure. Whenever I love a drama soon after my first watch, I immediately watch and re=watch and this definitely. fit the category.

Im seem new here cuz I liked to come this website from long time ago but this time I jusr create an acc. I read this novel when the rumour cast released before, as I'm so excited too see YangYang&Dilireba I read. I quite like the novel because I love Gu Man story. YANGDI CP is really make this story more perfect! I could understand better of his struggle, I may not like much Yutu much in novel because he reject her too much T.T but YangYang potray very well that I empathy to him n understand why. Dilireba is really cool as JingJing, I love her so muchhhh, great EQ n I do think her IQ is that good actually to pair with Yutu ><

Although this review seem new oh well I even pay to watch advance ep with vip user n watch this drama many times as I can't move on till now.

Beautiful chemistry-filled, healthy, adult relationship

I struggled with rating this show, based on how well-acquainted I became with my FF button on my remote. I'll get this out of the way first thing: 32 episodes was too long. There was WAY too much time spent on gaming and space exploration. Normally, my rating would be a lot lower, since I, in actuality, probably only watched 50% of the show. But that 50% was golden!

Actors: Yang Yang as Yu Tu. There is no doubt about it, the man is gorgeous. And put a pair of glasses on him? He's at another level. He has very expressive eyes and his acting felt natural in this. I think he's grown a lot as an actor since Love O2O, plus his more mature looks are a plus. Dilraba Dilmurat at Jing Jing. She is absolutely stunning. I thought she was excellent here. I loved watching her face every time she saw YuTu - the love she had for him shone through, even back in their high school days.

Characters: I loved both of the main characters and their relationship. The progression from friendship to love was VERY slow, but made sense, and once they were together there were no stupid misunderstandings or breakups. There were two time skips, but they were together the whole time. I could see why they fell in love, and their love was believable and palpable. This was a perfect example of a healthy relationship, with lots of cute interactions and jokes between them, as well as them trying to make their relationship work when one person is extremely famous, and both people in the relationship are extremely busy. Yu Tu makes a comment that in the past year Jing Jing had been in Shanghai for only a little over a month, but they were both understanding of the other's career and the time demands that were involved. They continued to carve out time for one another as best they could. I loved Yu Tu's intelligence and love for his career, which caused him problems in the first few episodes, trying to decide between doing what you love, and what your family expects. Jing Jing could have been a spoiled brat of a character, but she wasn't, thankfully. She was a dedicated actress, but she was nice to everyone around her. She didn't act like she was entitled. I loved her fascination with Yu Tu's work - her wanting to go to his workplace to see what he does and to eat in the canteen. She had such joie de vivre - she didn't try to temper her excitement of things and that was really cute. She seemed to run everywhere, running from room to room in the house, running to him when she sees him, running to explore something new.

I also really enjoyed the characters of her manager and her assistant. They took such good care of Jing Jing, and them watching Yu Tu and Jing Jing being loving was so cute.

Chemistry: Oh, my goodness. This show was full of chemistry between the leads, from the looks they exchanged, when they saw each other after being apart, and their kisses were on fire! This couple was a lot of fun to watch. I rewound and re-watched multiple scenes, just to see their micro-expressions and their interactions. I smiled A LOT, while watching this, they were just wonderful together.

I also loved what this show DIDN'T have:
-as mentioned before, no stupid misunderstandings. No multiple break-ups. No long separations.
-No evil exes trying to get back together with them or working to separate the main couple. To be honest, an ex showed up for each of them, but they could have been left out completely, they served no purpose to further the story.
-No multiple couples to keep track of. This show focused on the main couple and gave them the time that they deserved for their story.
-No rushed ending. Nothing frustrates me more than watching something that takes forever to get the couple together and then rushes getting them together in the last 15 minutes. Here, we got to see dating, wedding, and married life.

Speaking of endings: I was extremely touched by the way this show ended. It was Yu Tu's time to shine and Jing Jing supported him all the way. The national pride that was displayed by everyone in what they accomplished brought tears to my eyes.

Music: I thought the music was good and the one song that talked about not feeling good enough for the other person went really well with Yu Tu's feelings. What did he really have to offer to this relationship?

Re-watch value: I will TOTALLY be re-watching this, just the way I did this time, fast forwarding through all the boring stuff to enjoy their relationship.
