Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1 (2022)

The best historical drama

I loved LLTG so much, it's so hard to find similar historical drama which made me rewatch it no matter the length of the episodes, I loved each n everything in this drama so much. No ckt was annoying or irritating as such, but I loved the king the most in this drama? he had such nice comic timing n was like a breathe of fresh air amongst the historical dramas king roles. I have literally watched so many historical dramas becos of LLTG to find any such similar one where I can watch n enjoy everything but didn't. This would always remain my no1 historical cdrama n nothing surpasses this. The acting, cinematography, chemistry between leads evrything is top notch . Must watch cdrama.

Don’t drop it!

If you watched the first episode and considered dropping like I did, don’t do it! During the first 5 episodes the show expects you to get used to the titles, names, relations, and family of main character. Nothing too big will occur as far as I remember. It gets REALLY REALLY good soon after. Interesting characters are introduced, several sub plots are established, and most importantly the romance begins to bloom.
The main character isn’t a flawless, know-it-all. She is a girl who self taught herself whatever she could, and is clearly lacking. Family conflicts and discussions make a big part of this show, like every historical drama ever, so if you hate that type of dramas this would be difficult to watch.
I usually avoid C-dramas due to the trashy acting but this one was easy on the eye in this matter.

Absolutely recommended!

My favorite drama… hands down

Oh my goodness, I cannot stop raving about this drama I just watched! I stumbled upon it by chance, and it was a game-changer for me. I'm now a die-hard fan of Rosy Zhao and can't get enough of her. This is unusual because I do not usually obsess over celebrities. But trust me, she deserves all the hype she's getting!

The drama was a perfect blend of love and plot, and despite watching countless shows, I was utterly hooked from the very first episode. I usually find that dramas start slow and it takes forever for anything exciting to happen, but not this one! It had me on the edge of my seat to the end. The love story was beautifully crafted and the relationships between the characters were fascinating to watch. I have too many favorite episodes to list, but let me just say that each one was a masterpiece in its own right.

The actors were all outstanding, but I must give a special shoutout to Li Yun, Rui played by Leo Wu. His character's struggle to resist falling in love with the female lead was so well portrayed, and the chemistry between the two was electric. And can we talk about the emperor Bao Jian Feng? What a great performance by Zheng Li! I was also impressed by the supporting cast, particularly the two brothers who were shadows of Leo Wu's character.

Now, I do have a few minor complaints. There were times when I wished there were more close-ups of Leo Wu's facial expressions, especially during some of the more emotional scenes. There were also some inconsistencies in the story, like when they said the female lead's parents left for 10 years instead of 15, or how she learned all about construction. The lack of synchronization in the flute parts played by Rosy Zhao was extremely distracting, despite my genuine appreciation for the music. But these are just nitpicks, really.

The last two episodes were a bit of a letdown for me. I was hoping for a grand finale, but it was just okay. However, this doesn't take away from the fact that this is hands down my favorite drama of all time! I can't even count how many times I've rewatched it. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on one of the best shows out there!

A great first part but ultimately incomplete

First I have to mention the cast. This cast makes me want to go back to my previous reviews and reduce the star rating I've given to other dramas' casting. The casting in the drama is SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD!! I wish there were a once-in-a-decade "11 stars" option. Every single role was cast perfectly and the actors were perfection in their roles. Seriously, I have never watched a better cast drama than this. And a special shout out to the dude who played the emperor. He was an absolutely delight and perfect in his role.
I'm writing this review after watching part 1 and 2. If I'd written this before watching part 2, this would've been a 10/10 drama. As it is, and after watching the second part, I now see the flaws in the story of this show and it is no longer a 10/10. More details in my review of part 2.

izlediğim en iyi cdramalardan biri

öncelikle bu diziyi yeni cdrama izlemeye başlamış kişilere önermem biraz ağır gelebilir tarihi yönleride içine alan bir konusu var oyunculuklar benim için efsaneydi konunun yavaş yavaş ilerleyip her şeyin yerine oturması mükemmeldi izlerken hiç sıkılmadım dizinin uzun olması etkilemedi hatta daha uzun olsun bile isterdim bu dizinin ilk partı için yorumlarım ikinciye göre daha olumlu ama şahsen ikinci parttan daha çok keyif aldım ilk part için ilk başta erkek başrolün nasıl ortaya çıkacağını ve kendisini kadın başrole nasıl sevdireceğini anlamadım bir süre fakat dizi ilerledikçe karakterler gelişti her şey yerine oturdu izlerken hem çok güldüm hemde ağladım ağladığım kısım genelde ikinci parttaydı ilk partın başlangıç tarzıında olduğunu ikinci partın ise asıl olayların yaşandığı kısım olduğunu düşünüyorum bu dizi hakkında tek üzüntüm çiftin çok ağır bir ayrılık yaşamış aralarına 5 yıl girmiş olmasına rağmen adam akıllı konuşup kavga edip barıştıkları içlerini döktükleri ve kavuşmalarını bize daha iyi yansıtamamış olmasını sevemedim diziye 10 puan vermeme rağmen sonu benim için hayal kırıklığıdır başrollerin karakterlerine ters bir son olduğunu düşünüyorum erkek başrol kadın başrole yaşattığı bu durum için pişmanlığını belirtmeli ve af dilemeli kendini açıklamalıydı çünkü bu kadar uzun bir dizide karakterlerin gelişimi daha farklı yöndeydi bunun dışında diziyi hala açar baştan izlerim sonu dışında kesinlikle öneririm

Una de mis favoritas

La quimica entre los protagonistas es maravillosa, ambos transmiten tanto. Zhao Lusi es mi actriz favorita y Wu Lei es maravilloso también. La historia es única y a pesar de todo lo que pasan, amo que su amor triunfa. Ambos aprenden a amarse y a llevar una relación de pareja.

Me encanta que él sólo la ama a ella y se mantiene firme en su decisión sin darse por vencido, al igual que ella. He visto esta serie mas de siete veces y no me canso de verla y vivir ese amor tan hermoso a través de esta historia. Es una de mis favoritas y una de las mejores de todos los tiempos.

"La flor que florece en la adversidad es la más rara y hermosa de todas"

Hermoso drama, el último episodio es una joya, un trampolín y parte aguas de la historia de nuestros dos protagonistas.

Ling BuYi destaca la belleza de Shao Shang cuando los demás no, admite esa parte sensible de él por esforzarse al mostrar un lado menos duro y exigente al que está acostumbrado, y es valorable, ya que deja a flor de piel sus sinceros sentimiento por ella.

La relación así como las diferentes circunstancias donde se encuentra nuestra protagonista son cuestionadas por todos, pero hechas de su misma razón e inquietud de conocer más allá de lo que han tratado deseñar sus padres después de todos el tiempo de abandono que sufrió desde la partida de ambos hasta su regreso.

Un drama con un gran drama hasta estos 27 capítulos donde la problemática está en pleno desarrollo, ligera y con personajes bien estructurados, la producción y escenas son preciosas, en especial una de nuestros protagonistas en un momento de buenos deseos y despedida.

La volvería a ver y la recomiendo a cualquier que quiera intentar una drama histórico de gran calidad.

Roller coaster ride and not much going on.

Is it too late to write a review?

This is a drama that gives out a roller coaster ride of emotions, not much fluff since I understand this is only part 1 of the whole story.

Anyhow, I was crying buckets at the first few episodes because of the relationship the FL has to her family. How can they be so cruel specially her mother?! (It's a good thing I watched Hidden Love first since I don't know if I'll get over her treatment to the FL in this drama). It gets a little bit light when the brothers arrived and the FL develop friends. Laughing out loud because of their antics and playfulness, I just love her relationship with her father, two brothers, cousin, and her best friend.

And then comes our ML, he's just too rigid and stoic for my liking, and I remember skipping this drama for a long time because of him. Sorry. Anyway, he didn't showed much emotion all throughout part 1. But I saw a glimpse of their chemistry during the scene where FL was helping him take the arrow out from his body, it was a little bit hooowwwt *wink*!!! So I'll reserve my final judgement until I finish the whole drama.

I just don't understand why they have to drag the part when FL got engaged to another guy, why, oh why it took so many episodes? The other guy didn't offer much to the whole story anyway, and because of this I found myself skipping a lot of scene. When they officially break the engagement, it's just a few more episode until the finish of part 1. Bleeh. And then immediately the ML swoop in, do they need a buffer before they start the official love story?! I honestly don't know.

One thing I really like is ZLS, she's really good here. She doesn't need to say anything, her pitiful looks is enough and my tears are flowing. OMG

This part is a solid 8 for me because of the emotions I felt while watching the first half of the part 1. I found myself anticipating the next episode even though there isn't much happening, I guess it's a good thing, right?

Now I'm off to watch second part.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR BOTH PARTS 1 & 2.

Such an entertaining drama, no less expected from one of the rising actors in China, Zhao Lu Si who chooses good scripts. Her portrayal of a smart but unruly young woman is a hoot, as she captured the interests of many highly eligible young men, including the icy, cold General Ling Bu Yi. Because of her antics, Shao Shang managed to irate many of the ladies that have been vying for Bu Yi's attention for years, as well many of her elders who thought they can undermine Shao Shang's "lowly" position in the society, despite being the youngest daughter of a general.

Though her father dotes on Shao Shang, perhaps feeling guilty for the years of abandonment, her mother, on the other hand, is very strict on her daughter, leaving the latter to think that she was unloved. For her part, Shao Shang does absolutely nothing to make up for loss time as she still held a grudge for the neglect and had become wary of anybody who shows her affection. Bu Yi is the same, as he plots and plans his revenge upon the death of his clan, even at the expense of others.

I loved the intricacy of the narrative and the political/familial/societal drama is riveting, aided by a talented ensemble and diverse characters. I also liked the show's attempt at humor, for example, Shao Shang's dad, the King and Bu Yi's sidekick serving as comedic relief. For all the people in the court that are conniving and greedy for power, I appreciated the fact the the Queen and the King's consort (mistress) get along well and respectful of each other.

The only drawback in this drama is that there are some instances where, to me, the happy ending seems forced and neatly tied in a bow. I would have been fine with Bu Yi's death, as it was for me, so farfetched that he managed to survive despite the dangers befalling him. Also for me was Shao Shang's self-righteousness and how she treated Bu Yi. Her character development seemed weak for me, and sometimes wished she was her bright, spritely self like she was in the beginning. Otherwise, a very good drama.

Very unique plot

Starting off, I'll just say that I've never watched a series where FL actually associates so closely to another guy - LuoYao. It was a very very adorable relationship and I even got confused momentarily to whom the ML was. But it was interesting how this prior relationship actually means something to the plot, and not just a simple stepping stone to FL and ML's relationship.

I love the exploration of family dynamics. Mostly seen through the family interaction of FL with her long-lost parents, it's interesting how its often a lot more difficult to maintain a good relationship within a family, but even so, they still love each other greatly. Family interaction is less seen in part 2, with more of the politics going on, so I quite treasure the scenes which explore FL's relationship with her family members.

Another thing I really liked, was how this was one of the rare series where the Monarchy wasn't trashy and stupid. The King was incredibly wise, and took care of his children, and especially so for LingBuYi. The Queen and the Royal Consort are both noble women, and they do not act stupidly like many royalties in other series like to. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said by the prince and princess, but then again, it wouldn't make sense if all the royalties had really acted as their noble title suggests.

FL and ML's relationship develops more in the latter half, as FL used to harbour suspicion towards ML, and did not like him due to his nature of being a war general. Personally, I did not think they're relationship got off to a great start, with both ML and FL having quite conflicting personalities. But I look forward to its development in Part 2.
