Ok, so this review is 3 months overdue... but nonetheless here we go! Finished it! Loved it!!!! Really wish I would've held out for the last 6 episodes though. There's something about watching as it aired that made it so much better!

In anycase big congratulations to our Director Fei and the cinematographer who slayed the shit out of this drama!!!!!!! Never have I seen scenes so well crafted and executed in action sequences and dark shots that looked so bright executed with ease and such style! Bravo ????????

Zhao Lusi what can I say... Baby girl you are a STAR!!!!! Lusi was born to play Cheng Shaoshang, no one else could've done half the job she did. Not Bai Lu, not Dilabra (oh and I love these 2 btw), NO ONE! I felt the innocence, pain, the wanting to be loved, the comedic moments, anger and vengefulness all because Lusi is excellent in her craft! I've been a fan since I hear you and will be a fan for the rest of my life! Please take a bow, you deserve it!

Wu Lei, Leo Wu. I am in awe of him. His performance was a performance of a lifetime!!!! I don't know what dark place he had to go to bring this about, but he did and he did so so well. Leo Wu is in league of his own and needs more recognition!!!! My boy even did is own stunts!!!!! Zisheng as a character is one I'll Revere for the rest of my life as I do Vincenzo. The pain, anguish, cunningness, ruthlessness, yet love, understanding, loyalty this character portrayed will forever remain in my heart. He's flawed, he's broken yet he found love, hope and family amongst the madness. This came across so well because Leo made it so. Sir, please also take a bow, just Wow!

Every single character of the drama was important to the story being told. The entire cast of Love like the Galaxy really was casted with a special eye and the actors acted like their lives depended on it but was done with such ease and finesse. Their performances was phenomenal!!! From the loveliest Empresses to shipper Wendy to Take no crap Consort Yue to guilt ridden mom to nosy Yuan Shannian, to I got your back without any questions Qiqi, to I'll die for you A'Qi and A'Fei every single character made you feel something whether it was love or hate. Every single character we saw was necessary and made the story enjoyable.

I'm going to miss this thread, it's been a pleasure ::far away hugs::! Side note... I just want to say how much I enjoyed watching this drama as it aired. The wait each day felt like forever nut the 3 day wait during the weekends felt like an eternity ???. It was so nice to be able come here to commiserate, swoon over characters, rage about Niao Niao's mom but also to read ideas, share theories and see spoliers ?. Being able to come to mdl really added to my joy of watching Love like the Galaxy that can't be duplicated!
