I read the novel first to know what to expect. Some moments in the novel are left out / altered to fit the screen story.

The excellent script of Love Like the Galaxy is very outstanding. Well done!!
This drama is my second favourite historical Chinese-drama after The Story of Ming Lan.

Why I like the storyline?
The best part is NO HATE relationship between:
-the Empress Xuan and Empress Yue.
-Niao Niao and her cousin Yang Yang.
-Zi Sheng, Ayao and Yuan Shen.
-Royal siblings Crown Prince, the 3rd Prince and the 5th Prince.

I started watching actress Zhao Lusi's dramas since "The Romance of Tiger and Rose". Zhao Lusi always portray her character successfully. She always completed the transformation into the character. Her ability to show emotion that captivate me as her audience. She really commits fully to her roles. Well done!!

Before this I watched actor Leo Wu as Ashile Sun in drama The Long Ballad. The "Zi Sheng" role that challenged actor Leo Wu physically, emotionally and spiritually. As Leo Wu embodied the character of Zi Sheng, not only transformed himself physically, mentally and spiritually into the role of Zi Sheng, he imbued the character that I often forgot this was a performance. I can feel his sorrow and emotions in this drama. Well done!!

I recommend you to watch Part 1 before you watch Part 2.

I plan to rewatch this drama while waiting for new historical drama. :)
