Beautiful & Profound

Love Like Galaxy had everything I wanted and craved for in a story. It is a story about family, love, loyalty, trust, grief, revenge and coming of age

I love Shaoshang with all my heart. She is smart, pure, strong and brave. Shaoshang is not afraid to love hard and also hate hard. It was very refreshing to watch a female lead character like her. There were times where I thought she was too stubborn but I understood why she was like that. Shaoshang was raised without any love and care. She didn’t want to allow people to hurt her like her family did. Shaoshang’s character growth blew me away. I loved watching her learn and grow into an even stronger woman. Zhao Lusi’s crying scene broke my heart time and time again. Love Like Galaxy is one of my favorite performances of hers.

Ling Buyi is a merciless, cold and a hard man, but he is also caring and very loyal. He’s someone who carries a lot of pain and trauma. No one can understand what he went through. He was only living for one sole purpose until he met Shao Shang. I love watching his scenes unfold, especially towards the end of the show. His character arc really made me ache with him. What I love the most about Ling Buyi is his love for Shaoshang. The things he does for her is because he doesn't want her to suffer, but to only live a happy and worry-free life even if he’s not a part of it. He was so protective and gentle with Shaoshang. He was willing to learn how to treat and love her right. He admits his mistakes and learns from them. Ling Buyi is definitely one of my most favorite male leads ever. Wu Lei did such a phenomenal job portraying such a complex character.

I loved all the side characters. Each and one of them had so much depth and purpose to the story. It was great to watch and learn about their stories as well.

The subtle details are also what I lived for; the character’s body languages, their words and their actions. The director did an exceptional job capturing every small detail. It made even more impactful for the visual storytelling. I am definitely looking forward to watching more of his works in the future.

I wished the story had more of Shaoshang spending time with her own family. I really wanted to see a more complete grooveling and forgiveness reunion between Shaoshang and her parents. Also, I wanted to see a wedding! After all the pain and turbulence Shaoshang and Ling Buyi went through, it would be nice to see them finally getting married and being happy.

However, Love Like Galaxy will always have a special place in my heart. It is my favorite show of the year. It will be a show I will always want to rewatch, and how I wish I can watch it again for the first time.
