Two weeks into the story, Douban finally opened up the ratings for Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat’s highly anticipated collab project You Are My Glory 你是我的荣耀 which scored a 6.9 in the charts.
Gu Man’s Fourth Novel to be Adapted into a Drama Is Pure Sweetness
As the fourth drama to be adapted from popular novelist Gu Man’s works, you can expect the modern romance to be in line with the author’s other offerings like Love O2O which was similarly helmed by Yang Yang albeit with Zheng Shuang as his leading lady. Which is to say, whilst not entirely groundbreaking, it’s a romantic story that is pretty much served up in a straightforward platter with none of those angsty and convoluted plot twists to muddle everything. Instead, it’s pure sweetness and light-hearted fluff. In fact, YaMG goes all out later on in the series with steamy kissing scenes between both leads.
You are My Glory tells the romantic story of how a game brought together two former schoolmates Yu Tu and Jingjing. Yang Yang’s Yu Tu is an aerospace engineer and expert e-gamer. Meanwhile, Reba’s Qiao Jingjing is a popular celebrity who is also an e-game endorser. The problem arises when a video gets leaked of Jingjing’s crap gaming skills when she’s supposed to be the game’s endorser. To help her level up her game, she reconnects with her old school crush Yu Tu.
Douban Rating Too High, Too Low or Just Right?
Admittedly, YaMG’s 6.9 might not sound too impressive, but it seems to be within the same range as Gu Man’s other novels that have made it into the small screens – Love O2O nabbed a 7.0 rating, My Sunshine a 7.1 and Boss and Me with the highest at 7.5. Nonetheless, some fans have been eyeing that 6.9 rating a wee bit sceptically, deeming it to be “unusually low” for such a highly-talked about drama that’s repeatedly trended on social media.
For the most part, it’s viewers who enjoyed watching the drama who find the 6.9 could’ve been higher. But it’s worth mentioning here that the 6.9 rating could still go either way with the finale still a few episodes away. With Gu Man closely handling the script, fans of the original novel would be pleased to see that the drama is as close to the novel as you can get with just a few minor tweaks made for the small screens. YaMG has hit 2.16 billion views on Tencent since its premiere on July 26.
Extra (cute) Promotion from Yang Yang and Dilraba with Childhood Photos
With a story that’s been delivering all the feels, stars Yang Yang and Dilraba have certainly not shied from interacting with each other whilst promoting the drama. Yang Yang and Reba’s latest posts on social media give fans another reason to ship the onscreen couple. Each popping up a super cute photo of the other’s childhood pics on their feed, young Yang Yang and Dilraba are almost identical as they mirror each other giving the peace sign to the camera.

This is a very, very sweet drama and some parts are really funny also. I highly recommended it to those who are not watching or hesitating to watch it. For some reason I can’t finish watching some of Dilraba’s other dramas, but I really, really like her and Yang Yang in this drama. She is so pretty and he is so handsome in this drama. The other two dramas I finished watching that Dilraba were in “Diamond Love” and “Eternal Love”. Give it a try and you will not stop. I watched all four of Gu Man’s stories/dramas listed here and I like them all.

Honestly. Drama is boring. Dropped it after the 5th ep.

I agree that the plot of the drama is boring. Nothing much really happens, but the leads are eye candy, quite hot! For me, that outweighs the boring plot.
Asian Drama Ahjumma
As avid asian drama lovers.. I think this drama is quite subtle and slow in the beginning, but the plot is not boring.. This is not a normal idol drama, it’s more on adult love and how age and maturity will change our perspective and thinking on how we view love and life as a whole. The casting is top notch of course… Most of Cdrama rarely have both ML & FL eye candies.. A bit different from Kdrama.. Those who love good looking leads like prefer to watch KDrama or ThaiD.. If watching anime inspired drama, most of us prefer Jdrama.. The Taiwan drama industry is quite slow these days in comparison to original Meteor Garden period.. Perhaps due to lack of investors.. So far, the KDrama industry is moving to global stage particularly after the epic Squid Game series.. It is just mind blowing that more than 90 countries can relate to the message of that the writer of squid game want to deliver.. TBH, I never miss DD Cdramas.. For YY I only watch LO2O including YAMG.. I think the rating for YAMG is too low.. For me, the writer would like to tell the pride and glory of having a dream to reach the galaxy and achieve the dream despite the hardship… So, when we rate a drama, try to be objective and watch until the end before we rate them.. If we drop in the middle, might as well just don’t comment and rate because we don’t watch it until the end.. It is the same as reading book, if you don’t complete it, how can you know the story and how the plot reveals right…
My personal objective rate for YAMG :
(Plot 8/10, -2 because the beginning is quite slow),
(Cast 10/10, both DD&YY are good looking),
(Acting 10/10, the chemistry and emotions can be felt by viewers)
Overal rating : 9/10
