"You are already a rabbit who has seen the most stars."
STORY: Honestly, there's not much new to offer in You Are My Glory. It is as cliché as it can get. Aside from a very slow-paced first 15 episodes, there isn't really much to see. We get a FML who's already a super star and a ML who is an accomplished aerospace engineer. Nothing about them is similar other than the fact that they went to high school together.
I'd like to point out that the slow burn of the love story is amazing. The first episodes, although negligible is a necessary plot device to establish the relationship between the leads. Watching Jingjing reignite her first love with Yu Tu while playing mobile games was a sight to behold. It's not as game-centered as Falling into Your Smile but the integration of the game has been the same.
Important points to take note is the fact that Jingjing has a huge crush on him and Yu Tu rejected her in high school. They both had a relationship with other people before coming together. They are both career driven. And both have a very healthy relationship with their parents (which is rare by CDRAMA standards).
The narration is a 10/10. There was no confusing sub-plots. There isn't even a second couple which is also very rare in cdrama. The leads managed to carry the show all on their own. I love how it centered on both of them in all instances. The first part, on Jingjing and her career laying the foundation on how they meet again. The second part, on Yu Tu and his complicated choice between family and dream and meticulously weaving Jingjing in the drama. She isn't too involve given their current relationship but just enough to support him in enforcing his decision.
Anyone who is looking for a light-watch would love to see You Are My Glory. It may be an idealistic take on modern professional couples but it works. Mainly, I'd say it was a success because its Yang Yang and Reba (the chemistry is no joke), which isn't far from the truth. But also because the writing on both character's jive so well. Audience would agree that 90% of the watch-ability would stem from their very witty and bold conversations.
ACTING/CAST: OUTSTANDING performance from Yang Yang and Reba. Two of the most brilliant from their generation of actors. The drama itself did not test their range but it did enforce their talent all the same.
MUSIC: Its one of the cutest out there. Especially the opening and closing creds. Not on par with my best (Eternal Love & Ashes of Love) but memorable enough.
REWATCH VALUE: 11/10 and would definitely recommend with first time cdrama viewers. That's how light and feel good it is. No regrets on rewatching it three times after seeing it the first time.
