Amor Como Galáxia: Parte 2 (2022)

Review for Part 1 @ 2

This drama is a GREAT historical production that should not have been titled “Love Like The Galaxy” because their love was not only slow burned, but also full of secrets, lack of confidence, misunderstandings, and, the most tedious part of this drama, Shao Shang’s cold attitude and distrust toward Zi Sheng. How a great love cannot understand Zi Sheng’s emotional pain, turmoil, and commitment?
Having said that, Zhao Lusi (Shao Shang) and Leo Wu (Zi Sheng) did an excellent job portraying their characters and, although their romantic their chemistry was not very amorous, the best intimate interaction in the whole drama happened without an unnecessary awkward kiss in episode 36, really beautiful and heartwarming! The rest of the cast also did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life.
This drama is heavy on revenge plots, palace antics, familial interactions, truehearted friendship, occasional comedic scenes to lighten the darker tones, great action scenes, and amazing cinematography and music.

Part 2

Wow just wow.... Really long time not find this serious historical c-drama yet full of fun and very binge worthy. I think this is the first one this year. Once again I'll not gonna talk much about character or description, because many already wrote about it. So let's just jump to what I like & don't like about this part.

What I like:
+ All the puppy eye. Oh seeing that lovely dovey sparkling in Cheng Shao Shang / Niao Niao (NN) & Ling Bu Yi / Zi Sheng (ZS) eyes every time they're seeing each other. How every time ZS face became soften when he see NN. And many intimate scene that make me want to scream to my screen "KISS KISS KISS, Oh my God Kiss please!!!" Haha.... I have to say their chemistry really top notch. Maybe one of the best CP for Zhao Lu Si...
+ The best emperor couple. Well the emperor family is far than perfect, with almost every child is spoiled brat or soft as hell, except the 3rd prince of course. But emperor, empress & consort is one of the best in historical c-drama. They each have their own spot without need the feel to snatch the other, no jealousy between empress & consort like usually do. Of course they're not the main couple so I think there's no need to go there. But still, the harmonious between empress & consort not often we see in dramaland.
+ The funny emperor. Oh the emperor so so funny. I still can hear how he scream in last ep, where he shout that the marriage between NN & ZS is not valid without him. Or when he mischievously give 'strike punishment' to ZS, the one supposed to be very touching scene where NN finally admit and cry over ZS become quite funny with his comment regarding the reaction NN give when she witness ZS punishment.
+ The soft & kind hearted empress. The mother figure for our NN. She gives all the love to NN that she never get from her own mother. In return NN gives her all the care, love and attention to her.
+ The quick mouth but kind consort. Oh so funny to see how her mouth handle Princess of Ru Yang.
+ The statement don't judge the book by its cover really materialized in this drama. I never really never expected to see that the crown princess actually have grudge heart, or how crazy Luo Ji Tong will be.
+ Finally all the question about why ZS have that grudge toward his 'dad' answered. Oh one very dark past it is....

What I don't too like:
- You can say this is just my prejudice, but sometimes the emperor is just to kind. Like how he easily persuaded given lighter punishment by NN or ZS toward someone guilty. Correct me if I'm wrong, because quite frankly sometimes I quite confuse with all the names, Haha. Like for examples when Wang family problem, doesn't NN persuade him later on... Or regarding ZS's problem itself, when ZS finally decided to murder his 'dad' (Ling Yi), in the end ZS not really got any harsh punishment. Yeah2 I know we all glad about that. But as an emperor he is just too kind for me.
- Like PeachBlossomGoddess wrote I also feel the written for the bad guy, the key person in term of ZS grudge about the extermination of his family years ago, not as good as all the not so important young woman. There for I sometimes quite confuse why or what his connection with that incident years ago.
- Quite agreed with Kate when she wrote how 'ZS had literally such a huge support system, and he willingly refused to use it.' I mean come on the last act when he decided to murder his 'dad' the night before the wedding is completely out of sense. Toward the drama we can see how biased the emperor toward ZS, yet he still decided to act on his own instead just give the emperor all the fact that he know. Maybe if he believe the emperor like how the emperor believe & protect him, maybe the emperor just can give punishment to his 'dad' regarding everything. In my opinion that's how biased the emperor toward ZS.
- And yeah also like Kate, I also feel the separation & mature NN in the last episode not really taking a big part. If only they shorten few ep regarding the 5th princess or unimportant young woman would be better.

Overall for me this still a very good drama this year, but yeah read some comment & review also make realize how many holes & deficiency this drama has. But in the end I still this drama total score 9 of 10 for both part. :D

LLTG: BEST HISTORICAL DRAMA OF 2022

I like this drama, I love this drama, it's as if the drama "the story of minglan" is mixed into this. I like the fierceness of LBY and how witty CSS is. I ike how cool LBY is as a general and as a man, lover and friend. Both CSS and LBY are loyal and protective of the ones they love. I like the way CSS matured and became an adult, I like the costume and the way they fetched their wine with a long spoon before drinking, I like the empress and concubine Yue, I like the emperor so much that he is for real my favourite character from the drama, I also like the grandmother too even her biasness to her youngest son(just not the way she treated CSS and separated her from her family) . I like the little villains court ladies before they all got married. I like how every topic is related to the story, the plots that's the massacre intrigue and mystery, characters and scenes in the drama, each were leading up to somewhere . I like how focus the drama is and nothing was messed up or wasn't cleared up, everything done or said were all connected.
I like how LBY never forgot his goal and got his revenge even if it meant losing the one person he loves most. His main focus has always been avenging his family and didn't stray from the part. I super love this drama and all the characters, because all characters had a role and all played it well. I will forever hold this drama dear to my heart because of the amazing leads. I love LBY two deputies that was always with him come rain or sun, death or life saving situation. I also love the grandmother acting, and while I don't like the way the mother treated her daughter, I'm trying to understand her needs of teaching her how to be a virtual lady even though I think she really had no idea how to do it and never really listened or saw her daughter right in front of her or saw her from other people's perspectives.
I like how the ending was similar to the beginning in the sense of their dressing, for the first episode during the lantern festival LBY first saw her among the crowds wearing a red Robe and him with his black robe but this time they were finally together taking a vow. I like how we finally see the parents and siblings fighting in war, we finally get to see them show us why their were really needed and left CSS at home.
Finally I like how in the last scene the emperor reminded me of why I love him. This is a good drama that made me sad that it ended.

Fantastic

What a Fantastic historical drama with my favourite actress LuSi! I enjoy her cheekiness, her vitality and her laugh ? i was honestly tempted to drop this drama after seing her family background was pictured as a sad and lonely one, i dont like to feed my mind with unjust scenes from media, expecially how partial and immature her mother is, i cannot tollerate it! But i am glad i decided to continue watching it. ! LUsi chracter is not scared of people, not afraid of speaking her mind, but this is a modern interpretation as back in time, a daughter didnt have much freedom in speech. So we, based in 21st century society, appreciate her character, strong, fiery, clever. BUT doesnt really reflect the reality back then. Regardless, i LOVE it as i am here for entertainment and not historical accuracy. I am always so surprised to see Lu Si so young and yet so capable in her acting roles! And , although in terms of age he could be my son, i am definitelly badly attracted to Leo wu! His make up nd costumes make him look much older, very domeneering... and the way is uncontrollably attracted to LuSi is strongly perceived on screen! I am halfway through this series... and i feel it might have a sad ending..?. i will check it before continuing as i dont like sad ending wih people sacrificing in the name of the loved one, i simply cannot watch it- i am up for positivity and well earned rewards. But regardless of the ending, this is definitelly worth watching: great fighting, fantastic photography.. the scene where she removes the arrow... erghhhh ... very realistic. Update on ep38- wowwwww it gets better and better. Chemistry amongst the MLeads is fantastic! They are perfectly matched, with little.love received from their own family, they will love each other till the end! LU Si and Leo Wu, another drama worth watching. Welll done. I wish you lot of success in your career ???

Marriage proposal that takes 56 episodes to get it done but worth it

This is by far the best historical drama I've watched this year may be the best for the last few years
this review for the whole drama not just the second part
It started a bit slow and boring for the first five episodes ,,, it didn't show most characters and showed some noisy naggy old women and boring slow family setting but then the female lead started to act out and it was a blast from then on
this also was my first time watching drama while on air so I waited the release of it's episodes ,,, didn't binge watch it so the experience was amusing and the wait was worth it
the funny dialogues and how the female lead's character behaved was refreshing and unique ,, never seen it in any historical drama without Clichés or unnecessary overacting
the best thing was the rea actors and actresses voices ,,, it was weird at first but their voices added so much to their characters and made the experience more real ,, it took time to get used to it too
The male lead's character was stiff and dry at first ,, I love Wu Lei and I know how brilliant he is but at first I felt he was a bit odd and acting like a robot then after he met the female lead and became infatuated by her his personality gradually changed and became more vibrant ,, more flexible ,,, I loved the characters development of them all
Every thing about this drama was on point ,, the costumes , the cinematography ,the colors , the cast and the music
Everything was just perfect but of course there were some flaws
they introduced so many characters at first part that I got confused a lot who is whom but then later on the important characters had their own time under the spot light so every character has a purpose and time to get her story out
it was well character placement throughout the whole story
Really I loved how detailed the writer was ,, his story didn't fell a part or forget any character he introduced
The drama was light and steady for forty episodes then it got to the emotional and heart breaking part after that
it became so sad and really heavy the last fifteen episodes ,, it was also draggy and melodramatic for no reason sometimes towards the end but it was okey not the point of losing interest
Overall this drama was quite a realistic and beautiful Journey ,, I've became attached to the main leads and their loved ones so much felt so happy when they had their happy ending

Highly recommend!

Part 1 was good development. Part 2 wrapped up everything nicely! The CP romance was solid. I followed and rooted for them all the way! Both leads were smart and strong and held onto their beliefs. Both were naive in the relationship department but learn to grow as a couple. They had their ups and downs but it was resolved quickly and wasn't draggy. Omg best royal parents ever! I LOVED the emperor! He is like your fun-loving, cool, nosy uncle! And empress and consort, best sister relationship ever! None of that catty royal drama from them. All that catty crap came from the princesses and noble ladies but they all got what they deserved eventually. It was so satisfying watching all of them got put in their place. And I also loved ML two guy sidekicks. Such loyal and dedicated "brothers" to ML. Great brotherhood there. You have your typical male villains but what drama doesn't??? Regardless all the backstory was interesting.

The direction of the drama was beautiful. The cinematography was on point. Some scenes I went "wow"" because of the direction and acting.

Overall, highly recommend! Love CP and love emperor!

Best period cdrama to date

LLTG made me sign up because i liked it so much. Aside from what others have previously mentioned, what sets it apart from other usual period drama imo are the following:
1. Our leads are not dumb, pitiful and helpless. They are both cunning, sensitive and strategic on how they handle matters. Although they have flaws too that make them more relatable
2. The emperor, empress and consort live harmoniously without anyone with an intent to harm the other..
3. The family dynamics reflects cultural setting during that period but injected with a modern way of thinking by breaking the norms of what is expected specially the femele characters.
4. The drama triggered a sense of kinship to the fans and commenters that it made watching and waiting more tolerable and enjoyable.
Hope we could move on faster from this drama but this will remain one of my favorite cdrama of all time! ?

A character for everyone to imagine and consider

Overall the show is awesome, the romance of our leads was very beautiful and I enjoyed the character development of all of them. what I didn't like however was the fact that Yuan shanjian, the 3rd Prince and the crown prince still dont have love. Them I thought of someone who might be a match for Yuan shanjian. Meet yan lisheng.
Yan lisheng is the 3rd daughter of the yan family, she is the illegitimate daughter as her mother is her father's concubine. Her father and mother were once in love but her father cheated on her mother and married his first wife then convinced her mother to be his concubine. As a result, lisheng also doesn't believe in marriage, that is why she is 25 and unmarried. She is intelligent, well mannered(when she has to be), loyal to those she loves, strong, cold to her enemies, doesn't tolerate nonsense. She isn't interested in gossip but loves finding out the truth about matters. No one dares to mess with her cause she knows their secrets. Her father is a county magistrate so she is a noble lady.
She meets Yuan shanjian who is still hung up on chen shaoshang when he visits her father while investigating something. Her family somehow gets involved in the mystery and she decides to find out the truth with Yuan shanjian. Given their similar personality they often bicker. They grow to respect each other and develop a mutual friendship. Or so they think. What happens when two people who hate marriage and love get caught in it's web??

A love as vast and beautiful as the galaxies

This drama has some really beautifully shot scenes. The lantern festival in the first few episodes is one such scene. It is one of the most striking first meeting between the ml anfld fl I've seen so far. The scene where the ml and fl meet in a forest in the middle part of the drama is also really beautiful. You can feel the chemistry and the warmth oozing out of the screen. The scene where the ml finally takes his revenge is also bloody amazing (pun intended). And ofcourse the ending scene with everyone stargazing is magnificent. The background ost and the sound effects just takes the scenes to another level.

I loved all the characters. The Chen family has such a funny yet wholesome dynamic lol. The best characters by far are the Royal trio, the emperor, empress and the consort. Loved them to bits, especially the fact how they break every stereotype their character has in cdramaland. My favorite characters were the two bodyguards of the ml, A'qi and A'fei, they're so hilarious. And atlast the ml and the fl are phenomenal. The chemistry is off the charts. Fl isn't dumb!! And ml isn't cold!!!!

P. S: Wu Lei's voice alone deserves 10 stars!

This drama took me back to their drama "Guardian of the Oath". Same main leads... Luo Wu and Zhao Lu Si. This time this gave a better ending. I love both dramas. This one had just enough action to get me focused. I loved the storyline and I love how Zhao Lu Si plays the role of Shaoshang. Zhao Lu Si made that character her own, it was like she lived the part. Luo Wu does the same thing, he sure looks different in the dramas he played such as Noble Aspirations... His part took a lot of beatings but his martial art acting was extremely good. I love it when ZLS and LW act together in these dramas. It was worth watching every single episode, so this will definitely be a rewatch for me. This drama deserves an Award for sure. The visuals, the martial arts, the settings, and the costumes were beautiful.

My Fave Cdrama of All Time!!

100% Thumbs Up to the cast and crew especially to the writer and director of this project.

I can say the production team did a great job in interpreting the novel into live action. The director has a good eye on how the story will flow and each scene and cinematography are top notch.

If there is one complaint I have, it this.
Having read the latter part of the novel countless times, albeit using google translate. I was a bit disappointed with some of the scenes of the drama esp the 2nd part. Not because they didnt film it well but because I felt like the production had limited time to include all the necessary scenes to make it even more amazing. It seems they had to rush through it and skip some of the important scenes in order to put everything into 56 episodes. There were several interactions by the main leads with the other casts in the novel that I feel should have been included in the drama and the ending seemed rushed. But i guess the crew had to work within the limitations.

At the same time Id like to applaud them for trying to stay true to the novel despite the limited episodes given. It is still one of the best Cdrama I have watched so far. I emphatized with all the characters and the drama made me laugh, felt giddy, cry buckets of tears and it has touch my heart like no other drama had. I will definitely miss the cast and will for sure support the upcoming projects of Wulei and Zhao Lusi.
