Você É Minha Glória (2021)

YAMG: The Glory of Chinese Romance Drama

I've never been so invested in a drama that I didn't hesitate to pay for early access on its episodes.

This drama feels so raw.

How do I explain how exceptional this drama is? There is not much conflict but everything is well executed that there is no boring scene.

This is one of the best representation of slice of life x romance genre in the history of modern Chinese drama. Celebrity x normal character is a common pairing; but YAMG executed it with no exaggerations. It's just enough to show how things are going on with their daily life. Perfectly blended.

What else about the story that makes it so special? There is no secondary couple that would make you feel like they're actually better than the lead characters. The romance of the main leads is just enough to make you binge watch and crave more.

Yang Yang & Dilireba's chemistry is off the charts - they are made for this drama. It's like they came out from the novel. They look so good together! TT TT

The production team aced of this drama too, sometimes I feel like I'm watching a movie. It's just sooo high tier.

The OST is also perfect! Whenever the intro OST is being played as BGM on Yu Tu & Jingjing's scenes, my heart melts.

Yu Tu's brightest star; and Yu Tu is Jingjing's universe. They found the glory within each other.

You Are My Glory is THE modern chi drama of 2021.

reward game

Although they are very famous, I didn’t start watching the drama because of the actors.
The story was much more appealing. I was not disappointed . The story from the first word to the last word is amazing. I like the way the plot recovers, very dynamic. The writer builds a real human relationship. (The writer doesn’t drunk FL to make things easier for ML. That’s why special thanks to the writer.)
It shows both the positive and negative sides of a successful life. Love won’t suddenly make everything pink, just much more livable and less lonely.
Two people who support each other but don’t limit the other.
The two leading actors are impeccably tucked into the role, Yang Yang is handsome, arrogant, narcissistic then playful, romantic, narcissistic and maximalist. With unforgettable emotional upheavals.
Dilraba Dilmurat is beautiful, kind, persistent, supportive, devoted, playful and irresistible.
Because of their customized role, I feel the piece is a reward game.
The musical background is in line with the drama. My favorite "Time monologue"
I'm sure I'll watch it several times.

Exceed my expectation!!

After watching it until the end, I would say it's really good. It is a warm, romantic relationship.

Its exceed my expectation for the adaptation from novels. I really like this story. I'm a fan of Gu Man's novel. and watch every series based on Gu Man's novels. Most of them like to adjust the script to add a secondary role in the series, except for this series, which is very impressive. Focus on the main leads and expanding the ML work to have a greater understanding Fortunately, I didn't press skip.
(At first, I was secretly bored of the main character's work because I didn't understand and wasn't in it).

Yang Yang and Reba, the chemistry is very good, acting as well as Yu Tu. and Qiao Jingjing Walked out of the book and really existed.

The ending is so awesome, I'm excited, tears flow, Impressed.

A Masterpiece of Modern Romance, while being faithful to the novel!

It's been a while since I have been this invested in a Romance Drama.
Enough for me to pay for the Fast Track!

The story is very much like the story from the novel ,
I've been reading the novel side by side while watching this Drama.
While the story is simple, the way they shot and film this is unique.
And the two leading male and female lead are amazing. They both look really good together.
Their chemistry was amazing in this drama. Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Yang well done!
What I liked the most about this romance was the portraying of real life problems
that people actually face, found in real relationships.
And how both leads dealt with their insecurities, particularly the male lead.

I really like the gaming aspects at the beggining, it made me want to play that mobile game.
But sadly its only available in china. As a fan of games like LoL,
I really liked the way they filmed the gaming aspects.
And then in the second half of the story the romantic moments really started.
The romantic moments were really heartwarming and passionate.
Dilraba once again improves on her acting capabilities. And I liked Yang Yang.
This was my first time seeing him on screen.
And he did really well, and he was very comfortable with Dilraba.
So much so, that I would like to see them dating in real life!

The OST was excellent too. I really liked the opening song (Fireworks And Stars)
and also Born To Be An Eagle is fire! Fall In Love is also pretty catchy!
This Drama is definitely rewatchable, so many good and sweet moments to rewatch.
Even the gaming moments! One day if I'm able to, I will rewatch this again!

Overall this is what I consider an Excellent romance, with no useless tropes in placed. Just for the sake of it!
They followed the novel beautifully and brought those characters to life.
They also included extra scenes from Yu Tu's profession.
They ended the Drama like in the novel, which displays more themes than just romance!

I highly recommend this Romantic Drama! This is a Romantic Classic!

Charming and a bit more mature and nuanced than the average fluff drama, but still a fluff drama

This drama is pretty much a more mature Love O2O (and I'm not saying that as an insult; I actually enjoyed Love O2O), which I guess is essentially what I was expecting of it. There are a number of obvious similarities between the two beyond Yang Yang and the gaming premise, including many of the traits of the lead characters. However, it lacks the annoying side couple (actually one of the best things about this drama is that there are no filler side couples), and has better acting as well as higher production values. You Are My Glory tones down the tropes a bit and has more angst (but is still pretty low on drama). People who enjoyed Love O2O will likely enjoy this as well, and those who did not enjoy Love O2O may find some of their complaints rectified in You Are My Glory.

I must like Gu Man’s sense of humor, as I generally don’t find Chinese romcoms funny, but the humor in this one (as well as Love O2O) worked well for me. I also found both leads very charming and likable, which is really at least half of what makes a romcom work. Moreover, out of the 10-or-so Chinese romcoms I have completed or seen a significant portion of before dropping, this definitely has the most well-written romance. We get to watch them slowly fall for each other, support each other, and naturally grow from knowing one another. The roadblocks in their relationship are quite normal and don’t seem like manufactured contrivances. Is this the most grounded portrayal of a relationship I’ve seen in a drama? Certainly not, it’s still an idealized idol drama about too-perfect people with plenty of fluff, but it does have proper development, doesn't go in circles, and isn't heavily reliant on silly tropes like accidental kisses and all that jazz. The male lead’s personal conflict is also realistic, well-explored, and quite relatable, I think.

One aspect of this drama I felt was a bit atypical is that parts of it (arguably the most pivotable parts) seem to be told much more from the male perspective than the female one. Romance dramas (especially romcoms) are generally told from both perspectives equally or more from that of the female lead. There are actually certain episodes near the middle of this drama in which the female lead hardly appears. I think such a storytelling choice made sense for this particular story, as the male lead is the much more conflicted character and I’m not sure following the female lead in those moments would have revealed much to us. However, because she was given relatively less focus, until the last third of the drama, I felt like I didn’t know the female lead nearly as well as the male lead. By the end I no longer really felt that way, but overall I’d definitely say there was less emphasis on her characterization and development than his. Especially given the last couple episodes, it seemed like he was the protagonist and this was really his story.

This is also the most well-acted Chinese romcom I’ve seen to date (probably on par with an average Korean romcom). I generally give Yang Yang more credit for his face than his acting, but he’s really quite decent, even good here. Dilraba was definitely better than I expected. I really enjoyed the sweet personality she brought to her character, and I actually thought she did well in the dramatic scenes, something I was rather skeptical of her ability to do, given what I had seen from her past work. In the category of Chinese-idol-dramas-with-actors-under-30, the performances were well above average.

Now for some nitpicks …

My biggest complaint regarding this drama is that it had some issues with tonal consistency. This is not a major problem, since I think the tone always matched the content of the specific scene, but because there wasn’t a more focused tone throughout, there were times when it felt like I had suddenly started watching a different drama. Parts of this drama are your typical fluffy, cheesy idol drama. Then there are a few parts that are rather overdramatic. Like does running tests on a rover really merit such suspenseful music? And then there are parts that seem to be going for a moody, understated drama vibe with the slow-pacing, shadowy cinematography, and mellow, indie-style vocals against simple guitar instrumentation. I think you can accurately understand what this drama is like without watching it by imagining a combination of Love O2O (corny romance dialogue, humor, tropes and character types, gaming), Descendants of the Sun (corny romance dialogue, dramatic aerospace scenes, slow-mo of Yang Yang getting out of a Jeep in the middle of a desert), and One Spring Night (introspection, struggles with self-image and societal expectations, slow-burn romance). I enjoyed all three of those dramas, but I’m not sure the combination entirely works. The former two have overlapping aspects, thus combine quite seamlessly, but I think You Are My Glory’s attempt at the One Spring Night-type tone felt a little try-hard at points. Even though the emotional content of the male lead’s struggles are well-executed, the more “sophisticated” style of the scenes feels a bit out of place when poised against a cringe-y cute idol drama scene. It makes it feel like it’s trying to be something it’s not, because most of the drama isn’t that sophisticated. It’s especially obvious, because this more melancholic, understated style pretty much completely disappears about 2/3rds of the way through the drama, which means the earlier episodes feel quite different overall to the later ones. To state it very simply, the male lead feels like he belongs in a serious, realistic drama, the female lead feels like she belongs in an idol romcom (albeit a relatively grounded one), and their romance meets somewhere in the middle, though it definitely leans pretty hard towards the romcom tone in the last 1/3. To be clear, I’m not really saying anything about the story itself necessarily should have been changed, just that these aspects could have blended together more seamlessly had the style of their execution been a bit more consistent.

The music is really pretty forgettable.

If you’re looking for a gaming drama, look somewhere else. Gaming is just a way to bring the leads together, not the focus of the drama, and the gaming element completely disappears in the later half. That being said, a significant amount of time is spent on the gaming scenes, such that even though I didn’t watch this drama for the gaming, I did find myself wishing they were more exciting. Despite all the time spent practicing, discussing strategy, etc., it’s quite difficult to actually follow what’s going on while the characters are playing, especially since the matches are often shown as fragmented montages. Even when they do show more extensive gameplay, you can’t really understand the strategy since the game has too many heroes and the viewer is only vaguely acquainted with a few. Honestly, it can be hard to even see what’s happening, due to the fact that the game visuals are generally portrayed as they would appear to an actual player, which is realistic, but not very legible. I think the aerospace engineering scenes were actually more comprehensible than the gameplay. Because this drama never intended to be about gaming, exciting gaming scenes weren’t necessarily a requirement, but in that case, I wish they had spent less time making me watch such scenes.

My final nitpick is that it’s rather slow-paced (especially in the first half). This didn’t bother me much, because I like slow-paced romances (if the gaming sequences had been fewer or more exciting, I might not have noticed this at all). There are points when it feels more like a slice-of-life drama than a romcom, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, because it doesn’t have any filler side plots, I don’t think it’s actually more tedious than the average C-drama. Personally, I found it less so.

All in all, I enjoyed this drama a lot. Though I don’t think it’s perfect, it certainly exceeds what I’ve come to expect of Chinese romcoms. I’ll almost certainly rewatch it at some point when I need a no-stress fluff drama.

One of the best Cdrama

This drama literally brought a totally new vibe to it, it's nothing like another Rom-Com. The plot and the characters are more mature and deep with relatable human flaws. I am so happy to see how they made Yu Tu's character ordinary and realistic, I was really tired of watching male leads with an entirely perfectionist character that only exist in fantasies. The Aerospace concept was new and exciting, they made it so genuine.

The best part about this drama is it's realistic concept as I stated above. Now let's talk about the chemistry between the leads, let me tell you it's so pure and mature I can't even describe it (they have this unspoken understanding between them like I really thought they were dating in real life)
Those of you who were expecting something like Love 020 I am sorry it's very different but in a good way.
In the past couple of years I have seen a huge improvement in the chinese drama industry, the production and script writing has took a new turn and I am happy to say that I am quite satisfied with the content.

This drama has no break up or dramatic antagonist scenario, the new trend of having 24 to 31 episodes per drama is a great initiative that avoids unnecessary plot drags.

“People dream but not everyone has the capability of fulfilling it, we all have things we love to do but not all gets the opportunity or has the credibility to follow the path they love”

The stellar cast of the drama (Yang Yang and Dilruba) did better than I expected, having seen the experience they earned; their skills didn't disappoint me. I noticed a new growth in Yang Yang's acting.
I really really recommend this drama to all the binge watchers out there (I don't want to post any spoilers so mentioned about the plot very less) please go and watch. It's one of the best dramas of 2021 so far after Falling into your Smile and Unforgettable love created quite a hype.
It has all the fair share of romance and chemistry (but no cliche, over the top scenes I promise)
Give it a try, you're missing out good content.

Worth the wait and the hype!

Been waiting for years for this novel to be made into a drama and was apprehensive to watch it upon learning that Reba will be Jing jing as I haven't had the chance to watch her drama, but my love for Yang yang and for the novel won me over, and I'm glad, I did it.
OMG!!!!! I love Reba's Jing jing and Yang yang's Yu Tu! Thank you for bringing these two characters into life from the novel. My heart is full just by ogling these two sweethearts! I just love how they brought the Jing jing and Yu Tu's characters into life. Sooo fluffy, sweet and just entirely worth the wait! Damn!!! Can't get enough of them.

It's my first time watching Reba, and I'm soo happy with her, she brought into life Jing Jing's character from the novel, she's playful, hardworking, funny, and dearly loves Yu Tu even after several years of being separated from each other.

Yang yang as always, knows how to act in my eyes, but clearly, how he brought Yu Tu into his own version is remarkable. He showed the struggle, pain, and self-doubt of Yu Tu upon his capabilities and worth not just a man for Jing jing, but as a person per se.

Also, I love the songs, they're remarkable and really suits the scenes. Will definitely watch it again as what I've been doing with the novel.

A must watch

This drama really shows how people need not have the ideal qualities to be perfect, That the ML doesn't have to be extremely rich or arrogant, and the FL to be poor with zero self-esteem and not ambitious. This was a perfect casting both YY and DR really portrayed their characters and their intensity in the right amount. This drama has showed us that a series can go without the main couple breaking up, having a bad character, or family opposition. They were always and treated each other as an equal and with respect. I fell in love with this drama because unlike others the characters had their own insecurities, but they overcame it together and stronger. We don't need to always physically be there with our partner to show the show the support and motivate them.

It is by far one of the best C-drama I have watched, the storyline, cinematography, acting was great. The actors Yang Yang and Reba were incomparable I cannot imagine any other pairing who had the chemistry the did, not only that but they did complete justice to the script, the emotions really made me forget that it is not real life. Overall everything was great I 100% recommend you guys to give it a try. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

A review-compelling, mature drama

Hands up everyone who have been waiting eagerly and patiently for this show to air! When I first found out YY and Reba were casted in a show, I had high high expectations and waited for a year for it to finally air. I’m glad to report that it did not disappoint despite my sky high expectations! So much so that I MUST review this for my own sake.

I think this is a rare piece in the cdrama arena — it’s mature, well paced and cute all at the same time. No stupid misunderstandings, pesky exes or frustrating in laws. Only exploding chemistry, so much love, cuteness and sweet nothings! I enjoyed the ride and found myself grinning from ear to ear for the most part.

(some tiny spoilers) I thought it would be an esports drama but that was only for the first part as the 2nd part of the show focused more on their relationship and careers. If you must know, it gets better from ep 20 onwards! I found the aerospace technicalities quite dry during their relationship down time, but it was only for ~2 to 3 episodes? I appreciate how realistic things panned out to be, how many times do you see a show depicting a couple’s everyday life? I loved seeing their simple and constant texts to each other while apart , I felt happiness radiating from the screen. YY’s acting improved so much circa love o2o… let’s not go there.

My only complaint would be… it’s too short I wanna see more of them! Each episode averaged at 35 mins and a total of 32 episodes for a gem like this is such a pity (although I’m not sure if it’ll be a good idea to drag anything out since this was well paced) and I know I can’t even complain cos we did get to see their relationship from start to end! Eg. it could’ve ended at ep 30 but we got a glimpse of their married life for 2 whole episodes — gotta say I’m satisfied!

YAMG lived up to expectations and definitely 100/10 would recommend, review and rewatch

A feel good, comforting drama that felt unexpectedly relatable.

Considering that the novel this drama was based on was very short, 32 chapters might feel like too much for some viewers. There's little conflict in this story, it's just the journey of Jing Jing and Yu Tu, two very different people who have been walking very different paths, meeting again through a game and going from acquaintances to friends to lovers. From episode 23 onwards we just have the epilogue stories, so maybe the drama would have benefited with fewer episodes, but I personally enjoyed the eye candy and the heart-warming scenes.

Some have compared this drama to Love Scenery, but besides the initial premise of science guy and celebrity, there is little in common. The main characters in You Are My Glory are both very mature, and while our lady Jing Jing doesn't go through much change (she seems to have her life figured out from the start of the drama), Yu Tu feels so real and it's easy to sympathize with him, especially if you are or have been through that moment in life where you have to choose between following your passion or giving up to the expectations society have for you in terms of money and status. I love Yang Yang, but comparing his performance in previous works and this drama, he's improved a lot here!

The chemistry between the two leads was also the stuff of dreams! Every time they look at each other you can see the sparks! Their interactions are so natural to the point I, as a viewer, felt like I was trespassing into a very private moment of a couple, and this is something that rarely happens even in this genre.

If you are looking for something that will leave a permanent smile on your face long after you've stopped looking at the screen, this might be it for you!
