Amor Como Galáxia: Parte 2 (2022)

Timeless historical

A lot has been said by others about their viewing experience, good or bad depends on each other’s subjective preference. As far as I am concern, this show has touched me like nothing else. From the plot, story, directing, acting, cinematography and realistic characters, it is a breath of fresh air. Cheng Shaoshang’s journey from an abandoned, unloved and uneducated child will take you to a poignant journey of angst, sadnesses, laughter, redemptions of the human spirit, with splendid character developments, to finding her true love after so many heartbreaks . Ling Buyi on the other hand, is my type of hero with morally gray character, but did not lose his original intention of loving and protecting our heroine. Because of their deep love, this two broken souls found each other and became whole again~ amidst the revenge, bloodshed and tremendous sacrifices and love of others, not necessarily their family. Zhao Lusi and Wu Lei has finally found their career breakthrough and I am glad to support them in their future . Just FYI, this is foremost a family drama with slooooow burn romance. So worth the time !!!

in my opinion - The BEST historical drama I have ever watched (and it isn't exaggerated)

I admit I came to this drama because I have nothing else to watch over the holidays. I finished most of the Korean and Chinese dramas. My go-to dramas are usually heavily comedic that don't have complicated storyline nor melodramatic elements. However, for the rarest time, I went out of my comfort zone and actually tried watching this drama.

I came for nothing but I was actually surprised of how good this drama is. If I could give this drama a 12, I would.
A little introduction on the FL and ML:
- Cheng Shao Shang (Nai Nai) was abandoned by her parents from an infant. Her parents fought in the war leaving Nai Nai alone and she was (technically) raised by her evil grandmother and aunt where she was sent to a village faraway alone and often starved.
- Ling Bu Yi (Zi Sheng) was raised by an emperor. His only reason of living was revenge and hatred. When he was a child, he saw his clan got massacred - including his uncle. He swore by living alone and remained unwed - until he came across Nai Nai coincidentally.

What I like about this drama is how intelligent FL is and able to stand by herself without expecting help from anyone. When she got bullied by people who has higher status than her, she always have ways to bring revenge, whether it's little tricks or straight up shamming them.
I also love how ML always comes to rescue to help and support FL. In the story, FL was illiterate and doesn't know manners because she grew up by herself over the past 15 years. Everyone looks down on her including her own mother, but I love how ML loves her for who she is and how she is.

The scene-stealer for this drama is the royal trio (which are: Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Consort). I love how the emperor is very comedic and wise at the same time. He genuinely cares for ML, maybe more than his own children. I also love the empress, who I think is the kindest character throughout the drama. Apart from all, I think my favourite character in the drama is the imperial consort. Her badass character is actually one of the best supporting character I've seen so far in dramas.

I used to think that Mr.Queen was the best historical drama I've ever watched, however, my opinion changed after watching this drama. I usually dislike dramas that have more than 35 episodes because I thought dramas that comes with that many episodes usually have many unnecessary plots. However, this drama is worth all the 56 episodes (and I actually watch all of them without skipping).

For the rewatch value, I watch this drama 2 times non-stop (I finished all 56 episode and rewatch it again the next day because I couldn't find any decent drama after watching this). Thus, I give this drama a 10 for rewatch value.

Beautiful & Profound

Love Like Galaxy had everything I wanted and craved for in a story. It is a story about family, love, loyalty, trust, grief, revenge and coming of age

I love Shaoshang with all my heart. She is smart, pure, strong and brave. Shaoshang is not afraid to love hard and also hate hard. It was very refreshing to watch a female lead character like her. There were times where I thought she was too stubborn but I understood why she was like that. Shaoshang was raised without any love and care. She didn’t want to allow people to hurt her like her family did. Shaoshang’s character growth blew me away. I loved watching her learn and grow into an even stronger woman. Zhao Lusi’s crying scene broke my heart time and time again. Love Like Galaxy is one of my favorite performances of hers.

Ling Buyi is a merciless, cold and a hard man, but he is also caring and very loyal. He’s someone who carries a lot of pain and trauma. No one can understand what he went through. He was only living for one sole purpose until he met Shao Shang. I love watching his scenes unfold, especially towards the end of the show. His character arc really made me ache with him. What I love the most about Ling Buyi is his love for Shaoshang. The things he does for her is because he doesn't want her to suffer, but to only live a happy and worry-free life even if he’s not a part of it. He was so protective and gentle with Shaoshang. He was willing to learn how to treat and love her right. He admits his mistakes and learns from them. Ling Buyi is definitely one of my most favorite male leads ever. Wu Lei did such a phenomenal job portraying such a complex character.

I loved all the side characters. Each and one of them had so much depth and purpose to the story. It was great to watch and learn about their stories as well.

The subtle details are also what I lived for; the character’s body languages, their words and their actions. The director did an exceptional job capturing every small detail. It made even more impactful for the visual storytelling. I am definitely looking forward to watching more of his works in the future.

I wished the story had more of Shaoshang spending time with her own family. I really wanted to see a more complete grooveling and forgiveness reunion between Shaoshang and her parents. Also, I wanted to see a wedding! After all the pain and turbulence Shaoshang and Ling Buyi went through, it would be nice to see them finally getting married and being happy.

However, Love Like Galaxy will always have a special place in my heart. It is my favorite show of the year. It will be a show I will always want to rewatch, and how I wish I can watch it again for the first time.

a work of art

I never write reviews but I just finished watching this drama and I believe everyone should know how amazing it is!

If you're hesitating to watch it, don't.
Trust me, from someone who started watching this since it first aired, there was not one week that felt boring. Every single episode of this drama is filled with emotions and action.
I laughed so hard, but I equally cried so many times.

From the very beginning to the last minutes of episode 56, this drama didn't disappoint. The story is really interesting, the fighting scenes are captivating, the scenery is beautiful, the cast is one of the best I have ever seen and the chemistry between the characters... just perfect.

And I'm not just talking about the main couple, but every relationship that happens throughout the episodes.

Honestly one of my favourite was the bond between Niaoniao and the Empress, between this mother who had so much love to give, and this daughter who never received any, truly beautiful and heartbreaking.

Finally, one thing that I really appreciated in this drama was the character development and the communication! (except for a certain lie but this was different).

To illustrate this I'm gonna talk about our main leads. Niao2 is a strong girl, who never received any kind of love for the first 15 years of her life. She grew up alone, with no one to trust, but herself.
Zisheng is a strong man, with a strong sense of loyalty and duty. He is also VERY protective towards the person he love since he was not able to protect his family in the past.
At first, these two couldn't properly function as a couple, since they had different expectations. Niao2 always had to defend herself and never asked for help, but Zisheng wanted her to rely on him. The more they interacted with each other, the more they argued and the more they communicated. This led to them understanding each other better than anyone ever did.
That is why they are my favourite couple ever in a period drama. They helped each other grow, they cried and loved together, they showed us that love is painful, and that nothing in life is easy.


I love this drama from the bottom of my heart and I hope you will too.

One thing that I regret is that we didn't get to see Niao2's first brother and also I would have loved to see more of her third uncle and his wife, I really loved these characters.


(sorry if I made any mistakes English isn't my first language and I'm literally in tears while writing this)

In the comment I made in the first part, I said that I liked the series very much. Although there were some glitches in the story, it was an excellent series in other aspects. The harmony of our lead couple was perfect. Leo Wu and Zhao LuSi were my favorite players. I enjoyed watching it.
But as I said, they ruined the story especially in Part Two. In other words, the subject could not be found in the last episodes, but we watched the rambunctious events of the Lou women, under the name of avenging their treasonous husbands. I haven't been able to figure out why. It was unbelievable that Shosong wasn't on good terms with any of these women, yet these women were able to lure him away. In other words, such a scenario, if someone sabotages this series, only a screenwriter can sabotage their own series so much. Watch it again, it will give me the right. What is the relevance of these events, what happened, two or three? They would avenge their husbands who died of treason from Shosong. What logic, what logic? What does that have to do with anything? bald. So irrelevant.
My screenwriter Zou Yue, An Yi Mo my friends. You couldn't find a topic for Part 2, but did you make them up? It's a pity. You shot yourself in the foot, you cut the branch you were on. Use these words as a line in your next series, don't forget your CAPTAIN brother.
A young girl who lived a locked life in a room until the age of 15 and had nothing to do with the outside, gaining an edge over highly educated and knowledgeable people who later said that she is mine with her intelligence. Opening the locks, as if they were encrypted, measuring the bridges and taking them from there, we'll take the bridge down, developing many more architectural projects. With what knowledge and manners, my dear friends. Later, he also learned to read and write. So he didn't know. He is an ignorant person, but he understands everything. There were no friends.
However, in general, your series is a great series, as I mentioned it in the first part. A series of love and revenge. It was a strong series with its actors and strong with its management. It takes skill to bring these actors together and to narrate in a humorous language. These are very well used. Except for what I said, all the events are reflected in a beautiful flow. Congratulations.
Wishing to watch more beautiful series like this, I wish good luck to those who contributed.

DON'T MISSED the fantastic cuteness of chicken wings and duck wings! ???

DON'T MISSED the fantastic cuteness of chicken wings and duck wings! ???

What i figure out the humor content continues to flow until the end of this drama, only the levels and portions are adjusted to the plot and story that goes on. This is precisely where I see the dynamics of various emotional elements being poured in the right amount so that they harmoniously and synergistically lead to the epic's climax momentous which is unforgetable. I love how the drama has a good balance of romance, humor, angst, action, and happiness. They didn't drag it and everything just wrapped up so nicely. Especially the action scenes in the drama, it's so FIRE and DAMN LIT! They also focused on other characters too (Wendy and both his wife; Empress Xuan and Consort yue, Cheng Song & Wan Qiqi, Lou Ben & Wang Yang Ji, Ah-Yao & HZJ etc).

In the end, this drama is not just a mere superficial entertainment. However, both the main story and the plot story within story in this drama always leave deep meaning and reflection for human life and humanity itself.

All just perfect!

Love Like The Galaxy is one of my watch-list dramas this year. I can say that it is really worth watching.

Story
I'm impressed by how smooth and tidy the plot is. There are no plot holes or something weird about the story. Standing ovation for the screenwriters' team! I'm satisfied. Even though there are some scenes that made my eyebrow rise, but overall it is perfect. And I like that all the detail showed decently in the story.

Acting
Sometimes I can feel the awkwardness of some of the actors from other dramas that I watched so far, but this is one of my best-watched-drama-list. Yeah, nothing is perfect but I can say that I will recommend this drama to everyone. All the actors really have a great job in their own characters, especially our main Shaoshang and Buyi.

Music
The music really gives a great impression and uplifts the value of the drama. The music department staff really doing a great job for this drama.

As I said before, this really worth watching it. I can clearly rewatch it in the future when I have time.

Revelations and Reconciliations!

This magnificent drama is a must watch. Please, without further ado, start on it right now! Such gems are rare!

I watched Part 1 and it was excellent. (Pls refer to my review for Part 1.) I could not wait for Part 2 and it was worth the wait and watch!!

What I loved:
- The cast is amazing. They are ‘awesome - sauce’. The male lead deserves multiple awards for his award-winning performance as Ling Buyi and Huo Wushang. Wow. Just wow. He’s so young and such a fine actor. I believe that he has potential to be a great actor like the likes of Tony Leung. His performance was breathtakingly good! Wow. The rest of the cast is amazing too. I really liked that family members of each clan didn’t pit themselves against one another but rather, they banded together through thick and thin.
- The chemistry between ML and FL is sizzling hot and yet, saccharine sweet. Love!
- The plot is exciting and suspenseful. There’s so much going on! I had to rewatch some parts just to figure things out or get things right!
- The general ‘happy mood/ feel’ of this drama because things get set right again after all the wrong that has been done.
- The king is hilarious. He’s a breath of fresh air from kings who are mad about power and crazily insecure about their position as king.
- The two queens are so cutely ‘no angst’.
- Yuan Shan Jian is adorable.

What I didn’t like much:
- So much killing. So much bloodshed. All that revenge.
- Crazy bitches like Lou Li.

Overall, Must Watch! Don’t miss this magnificent work of art!!

Best Costume Drama of 2022!

I am so sad that it ended. I honestly could use another 30 ep of this.

Sure the drama started out with all the excessive ladies gossiping & doing evil things trying to get the ONLY bachelor in town but aside that minor flaw the story overall was executed close to perfection.

Why the perfect 10
1. ML/FL amazing chemistry. I've seen every Rosy drama but this pairing with Leo Wu was perfect. Leo Wu is just a talented actor since a baby.
2. Supporting cast. There were so many supporting characters that I equally loved in this drama notably:
- 2 Generals by ML for comic relief.
- Mom and Dad of FL. Dad is so funny and the mom's facial expressions always on point. I actually loved her character
- The Emperor and the 2 wives. The emperor especially was entertaining.
- Brother / besties of FL
- 2nd ML , 3rd ML (Yuan Shen) started out annoyingly funny then through character development became a worthy 2nd/3rd lead.
The whole cast was incredible.
3. Story . On the surface it's about love and revenge. However it's got:
-Plot twists. Not overly complicated. Not overly outrageous
- Best character development of main and supporting cast. Shao Shang started as a playful 15 year old. She went through varies struggles to learn about herself and the meaning of true love.
- Family dynamics, relationships between friends, family members
- Strong female characters
4. Beautiful costume, cinematography & music provided that dream land feel.
5. Rewatch Value. I already rewatched 3x.
6. Happy Drama overall. Not like traditional dramas where every character dies because let's face it, SAD endings sucks.
7. Ending of every episodes. Actors playing some games.
8. No cheesy voice dubbing. Unless it's due to actors having thick accents then I would always like to hear their own voices.

Sadly I really felt I want more in the ending not necessary story continuation but more of grand happy ending scene.

A beautiful story built on wonderful characters...

This series holds a special spot among many series that I have watched. This is a series built by the characters, what I meant to say is that, different from most of the series with characters behaving according to storyline, which sometimes makes them behave out of their personality, this show is built and moved forward by the characters. Each character has their own personality, motives and demons. Some characters have more frightening demons than the others, but they do have their own storyline.

Let me give a brief of the characters:
- Ling Buyi:
A boy who witnessed his entire clan slaughtered in front of him, his best friend die in his place, his only remaining family member is now stuck with her past memories, and he had to endure all of this trauma alone, without any help, not knowing who to believe, surrounded by people who scheme and the main culprit, yet trying to do things by following the law. It is not absurd for him to prioritize his revenge even if he has to betray the only person he loves.

He is the main character that drives this story. He starts all the schemes or issues and then directs the main storyline. Till the FL gets involved, he is always a cold hearted and cruel killer, burning with hatred.

- Cheng Shaoshang:
The girl who believes that she was abandoned at her birth to live with the horrible aunt and a greedy grand mother, who only cares about the money and leaves them alone. Unlike the ML, she is wilful and only wants to escape from this hellhole that she was in. She builds up an attitude that makes it hard for her to trust someone. She only cares about her happiness and the happiness of someone who has done her any favour. She will go to any lengths to repay any favour. This is the main reason that she gets involved in some unnecessary troubles.

Because she gets indebted to the empress and the crown prince, she tries to help them at any possible chance. But, because of her inexperience in the large game that is being played, she doesn't take all the other implications into consideration. She doesn't get the whole story from the ML, and when she figures things out it is already too late. Yet, she is also unforgiving, which makes it hard for her to trust the ML again.

- Emperor Wen:
Honestly the best emperor in the history of wuxia dramas that I have watched. He is the guy, who hates schemes, is easy going, and tries to help Ling Buyi get his girl. He is basically an all powerful wingman. He trusts his family and remembers his shortcomings. In this aspect, one thing relevant to the story is the guilt he feels to the deceased General Huo and tries to make up for that with the ML as much as he can. Most of the comedy is centred around him, and honestly, I became a fan of this character.

- Empress Xuan:
She is the mother that the FL didn't get. Well, that is the summary of her role. There are many connections with her clan and the clan of the consort that run the story and get the schemes rolling.

- Consort Yue:
She is the consort and childhood sweetheart of the emperor. She knows about all the stupid schemes her family is making and opposes them at every turn. She is the character that puts everyone in their place, irrespective of them being a prince or princess or even the aunt of the emperor. She puts them all in their place. She supports ML because she feels sad that ML's mother (who was someone she used to hate) has suffered a lot, but still remained a great mother. She feels sorry for the crimes her clan was committing.

- Young Marquis Yue:
The younger brother of Consort Yue, who dreams to make his clan the best.

- Crown prince:
A kind hearted man, who values his family and friends but is not so suitable to be a king of a scheme filled palace.

- Third prince:
The silent winner, who wins the throne at the end. He is impartial, and also cunning enough to identify the schemes.

- Xiao YuanYi:
Fl's mother and the advocate of "tough love". This makes the FL lose faith in her mother.

- General Cheng:
FL's Father, who is kind of a people pleaser, and can't figure out who to support, his wife or his daughter, and ends up with trying to comfort them after everything is over.

The character list goes on and on. Each character has an importance. Though I have only written only one or 2 sentences to try and compress the review as much as possible, I have left out a lot of characters, like A'Yao, the fifth princess, Wang lin, etc, who are sometimes frustrating but are key for the story to progress,

Overall this is a thrilling story to watch, and I highly recommend for someone to take their time through the story.

SO REFRESHING - ONE OF THE BEST COSTUME & PERIOD C-DRAMAS

This drama is a true masterpiece! Every aspect of the production is exceptional: the script and dialogue, the cinematography, the character dynamic, the actors' performances, and even the impeccable voice dubbing (It's like you are watching a live theater play). It's a drama that immerses you in its world, which is populated by complex human beings with intricate family and romantic relationships, emotions, and inner lives.

What sets this drama apart, in my view, is its refreshing approach to romance and character development. It avoids typical cliches and treats even secondary characters with respect. Zhao Lusi's acting is so expressive, and Wu Lei was perfectly cast in his role; he conveyed his character's darkness and tender side with equal skill.

The mix of humorous and dramatic moments is really well done, as it can make you laugh and cry in just one episode, sometimes simultaneously. I have the utmost respect for this production and can't wait to re-watch it in the future.
