EPISODE 11 – 15 RECAP The Fifth Prince, Ning Yan, is tricked into believing that he is the future king. He is not exactly smart. A fake fortuneteller was all they needed to send in to fool him. Feng Zhiwei, working as a waiter at a restaurant/pub, finds herself entangled in these political battles. Ning …
EPISODES 16 – 20 RECAP Yutu goes back to work. This time, his work keeps him busy day and night. They’re building a new rocket and the team has to work in a desert inside these Minecraft tents for a while. And since Jingjing is not talking to him, Yutu’s pastime now only consists of …
To be honest, I’m not sure what’s going on yet in this first episode, so I will just try my best to recap what happens. First impression: that’s a weird title. Will it be explained later on? EPISODE 1 RECAP A female agent, Guan Xue (Yang Mi), is on a mission. She fakes an injury …

You are My Glory is a very simple, relaxing, and… normal drama. It’s meant to be watched in a cozy room with a cup of warm tea. Or you can watch it as a reset drama after seeing something heavy or too mind-boggling like, er, Jiuchen’s plan to save the world. I will be mini-recapping …
