You Are My Glory (2021)

Binge Worthy!

I waited to watch it because I didn't think it would be that good. As Dilraba is better to me in costume dramas. But I was surprised. Both leads performed excellent. I love the two together. Dilraba was very adorable and it wasn't what I was expecting. She took the role of an actress and portrayed what actors have to go through on a daily basis. The struggles and the sacrifices. I liked how she was the one to initiate everything. There were a lot of concepts in this one. Poor guy/rich girl. Identify and career choices. What you love to do vs what makes you money. Alot of relatable relationship issues with a cute funny twist. Not much trust, jealousy or third party issues either. Very sweet and romantic! like that when playing the game, screens of the game itself wasn't too long and didn't take over the whole drama. It was so cute, funny and entertaining that I binged it and couldn't put it down. The ending was extra sweet and I didn't want it to end. I didn't feel like the story dragged on like most irrelevant endings are. Love the aerospace engineering aspects of it. Very satisfying ending.

Far surpassed my expectations

I came here for the visuals / eyecandies of YY and DLRB and I did not regret it. This drama far surpassed my expectations.

When I watched the trailer, I did not know it actually consists of them playing wzry in the first half of the drama. If I knew from the start, I might not even have started the show. There are many dramas that revolves around gaming but they did not get me as excited as this one did. I literally wanted to jump up from my seat. clap and cheer for them while watching their friendly match. However my mum was sleeping and I could only hold my excitement.

DLRB's character was lovable. She was not a spoilt and arrogant famous celebrity who let fame get to her head. She was so down to earth but also radiate elegance at the same time. I loved how witty her comments was and how she jokes around and disses the male lead. Even though she likes him, she doesn't act like a infatuated little girl. She acts really cute and innocent but when it's needed, she's strong and mature, being able to stand up for herself and is really eloquent.

I felt the struggles of YY's character so much. When he thinks he's already at age 30 but did not manage to accomplish anything, struggling between following his dreams or chasing money. Underneath his cold and seemingly confident personality, he feels inferior. The story gave us a smart, good looking and talented male lead chasing his dreams but his life wasn't a bed of roses, neither is he perfect.
I fell in love with the 2 main characters and their interactions with one another.

The OST of this drama was really good and it brought me so many kinds of emotions throughout the drama.

This has become one of my favourite shows and I would definitely rewatch this again multiple times.

the most poetic of dramas

this is one of the best thing I've watched in a while. Dilraba won my heart and Yang Yang proved once more that why he's my favourite! I absolutely loved it! In this drama, you can actually feel the emotions the characters were feeling. The leads were so mature! Mature enough to dodge their toxic exes. Dilraba carried her role so beautifully, it seemed like it was God's grace. Yang Yang being the cold and tsundere type, just what suits him, did his part with utmost professionalism and vigour. The side characters were just chef's kiss! I am always open to watch this again and again because this will never get old! this was such a heavenly piece of art that I can't get enough of it

Oh, The Sweetness Of It All!

You Are My Glory actually has a very simple storyline but it is simplicity done right. For one, the episodes are kept short. They are only about 30 minutes each which makes it easy to keep your attention span. I think it works well in this case because there isn’t much meat to the story unlike dramas such as The Day Of Becoming You or Never Say Goodbye. Instead, You Are My Glory is filled with moments – those that will make your heart flutter as well as feel touched by the love the couple exhibits.

Besides the short episodes, there are a few other things going for it to make it highly watchable.

Simple Plot But No Annoyances
A lot of romance dramas have simple plots too but then they will also have all these annoying characters and/or cliches. So, if you are tired of watching rich, cold CEOs like in Unforgettable Love and jealous love rivals as in Miss Crow With Mr. Lizard, I think you will enjoy the change offered by You Are My Glory. This is because this drama has no breakups, unnecessary bickering, disapproving parents, and love triangle. It feeds on warmth, support, dreams, and of course, love. It is reminiscent of the couple in Love Is Sweet but the way the story is told in You Are My Glory has a greater feel of sentimentality.

Basically, the whole drama is stress-free with no villains to hate. The leads are the main attractions and there are no side couples to take away their attention. It also moves away from cliches and thus, you won’t have accidental hugs and kisses or other juvenile antics of the pursuer or the pursued. It is also a change that it is the girl who got rejected first, not once but twice, as she lets known her feelings. Compared to other rom-coms, there is more maturity in the romance which makes it more realistic given the age of the characters and their personalities.

Witty Dialogues
I think one of the reasons why this romance drama is enjoyable boils down to the witty dialogues between Yu Tu and Jing Jing. So, if you don’t understand Mandarin, it is best to watch with subtitles to enjoy their exchanges. Yu Tu is inherently a brainy guy while Jing Jing is also quick-witted honed from years of being a celebrity. Sometimes, they will just try to outwit each other and these scenes can be really entertaining and sweet. You will rarely find such witty exchanges in other rom-coms especially when they are delivered perfectly by the 2 leads.

Overflowing Chemistry
Dilraba Dilmurat has always had great chemistry with her co-stars including Vengo Gao in Eternal Love Of Dream as well as Johnny Huang In Love Designer. She did it again with Yang Yang in You Are My Glory. Their chemistry is palpable and it has to be for the drama to be a success. Without the right sparks, this drama would not be an attractive watch given that it is heavily romance-driven.

The production team has made sure that they are not stingy with the kisses and show of affections for the couple. Once the main leads start dating, viewers are treated with kisses in most episodes from light pecks to bed scenes. Both Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Yang did them very naturally like a pair of real lovers. As a viewer, you would automatically feel the pull of their love for each other and all the sweetness that come with it.

My Verdict – A Little Boring At First, But Watch!
I have to admit that You Are My Glory did not start out with a bang for me. It kept me thinking what the hype is all about in the beginning. The first 3 episodes are fine when they meet again. But after that, you will get a lot of gaming scenes which might put some viewers off. Following that, there is also focus on Yu Tu’s work which I would say is boring. I guess you need them to build a foundation for the drama and to give greater meaning to the story development later on.

Suffice to say, I fast-forwarded some of these scenes. The good thing is that you could skip or fast-forward some parts of the drama and you would not miss much. The second half of the drama is much better and it makes up for the boredom of the first half. By the time the leads get together, it will make you forget the less exciting parts of the earlier episodes because you will be entranced by their chemistry and romance. Therefore, when the drama comes to an end, the love and sweetness is what you will remember.

For this You Are My Glory review, I would give it a score of 8/10. It is definitely worth your time despite being slow-moving for the first half of the drama. The fact that you have 2 beautiful-looking people together is enough to give it extra marks for casting alone. Their visuals match perfectly and their sizzling chemistry gives this romance drama an edge over the rest. Watch it if you prefer a more matured feel to your romance as well as for the YangDi couple. The touching OST also provided the right mood for some scenes which is a bonus.

Must Watch for a Sweet Fluff

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I had always wanted to see Dilraba Dilmurat with Yang Yang, so I had been waiting since its announcement and I really can't wait for it to finish up and then binge on one sitting. I will update the review after completing the show once again.

●STORY
The story says Diraba and Yang Yang are high schoolmates. after ten years, She is now a successful actress and he is an aerospace engineer. She meets him while playing online GAME and asks him to be his professional coach to teach the game.

●PLOT VIEW
The title gives a vibe of Esport as I had watched Kings Avatar where everyone was playing the game GLORY. The plot also kind of reminds me of The Kings Avatar and Love O2O, and we all the reason why, it's Esports Ace Actor Yang Yang. To see people from different professions and personalities coming together to make a delicate slow-burn epic romance saga IS so beautiful. It is also nice to see normal things such as finger touch can also be such a beautiful moment. It deals with professional life, insecurities, budding friendship, and romance. The plot has a lot in store for us as it is barely the 10th episode and the characters are not fully evolved. Also, some of the characters such as EX’s and Family have just minute appearances and don’t know what amazing twist they might bring. Fingers crossed for the best thing. But am highly satisfied until now with the Yang Yang work plot and Dilraba weight-conscious gamer thing.

●ACTING/CAST
Esports Ace Actor Yang Yang has mastered his skills of expression while playing games. You just can't take your eyes off.
Dilraba I had been her fan since Mr. Pride and Miss Prejudice. She is very eye-catching and in the drama, she accomplishes her role as a role of down to earth celebrity exquisitely.
their chemistry is just over the top, just a glance, and can't stop falling for them. They had been my dream pair for a long time.

●MUSIC
The opening track “Fireworks Star” is very beautiful. I like how the series opens up the track with aesthetic background incorporating the actors. Also whenever the OST plays there are lyrics popping on the screen, which seems more beautiful.

●REWATCH
Let us finish the series first, but it would be Yes since am an avid fan of the Esports genre and of course the leads.

●NOTE
Furthermore will write when the drama finishes. Also, it is highly recommended to those who loved Esports, RomCom.

Just Hyped

The drama which could have been finished in 20 episodes have been dragged to 32
Story
Nothing special not too many twists or any hidden secret its plain and simple
Acting: Female lead Dillreba has acted well and she did bring life to the character her acting when she is happy chirpya nd when she is heartbroken is on the point
Like acting of some supporting actors
OST is good but not something I will hear again and again or download
rewatch value is zero, Frankly I watched it cause I hear so much hype that it's the best drama of the yr but sorry to say its not Yang Yang acting is not good he had the same melancholy and sullen expression throughout
There were more propaganda than real issues or serious discussion
You can watch it while cleaning your home an cooking I forwarded all game and airspace technical discussion s

NOVEL & DRAMA - 99.5% SAMA/PERSIS. BERBALOI!

Untuk pertama kalinya, saya berpuas hati dengan adaptasi dari novel ke drama. You’re My Glory benar-benar tidak mengecewakan. Terbaik!

Sebelum ini, saya was-was untuk jadi fan drama ini sebab takut ia tidak seperti yang saya jangkakan. Saya takut kecewa jikalau adaptasinya berbeza dari novel. Rupa-rupanya, tanggapan saya salah. Gu Man, you’re the best!

BERBALOI untuk ditonton!

Amaran : Pada permulaan cerita, bagi sesetengah penonton... mungkin agak slow dan kebanyakkannya topik ‘games’. Tapi, sila bersabar. ‘Games’ hanya penghubung Jing Jing dan Yutu setelah 10 tahun x bertemu. Semuanya akan berubah secara logik sehingga episode ke-20.

Selepas itu, wowwwww... kita akan disajikan dengan perubahan karakter Yutu. Ditambah lagi dengan kenakalan karakter Jing Jing. Bagi yang single, sila bersabar!???

Terlalu banyak adegan romantik sehinggakan kita ketawa dan tersenyum sendiri-sendiri macam orang gila!???

not as good as i expected but still decent

story:
this may seem like an esports drama bc of the title, but it's really not. the esports concept is only used during the beginning of the drama. 2 high school students who lost contact after graduating and parting ways, who then become friends through the game they both play.. and then things escalate from there. i like how the female lead is the strong. rich one in this drama and not the male lead.

acting/cast:
it's yang yang and dilraba, there's nothing else to say about that. they're amazing and good looking actors.

music:
i only paid attention to the song sung by mika and curley gao and it was really good.

rewatch value:
i don't really rewatch these types of dramas (unless it's love020) so i prolly wouldn't rewatch it.

overall:
as i said, this drama isn't what i thought it would be, but then again i don't even like romance dramas that much so.. i will say though, they do make a cute couple in the drama.
