You Are My Hero

… if you don’t have. High expectations on the romance part

A bit disappointed though. It starts great and then lets down in the end in terms of fulfilling romance between the main leads, who are never seen properly cuddling and kissing after they officially start dating, …. which hardly makes sense: the FL, a doctor, is always seen shying away and pushing away the ML… to a point when I wondered why they want to get married in the end…too bad because the ML is great as usual ( reset, new life begins…)

Serious flaws for me: The FL is too much of a cry baby, and the worst part: during 38 episodes, she’s having her short hair tied up in a messy and dirty-greasy bun with ugly pins and a crown of shaved hair (they say it themselves - her colleagues and friends making fun of her in a nice way, because she’s allegedly too busy to properly take care of herself - she doesn’t see the point of grooming even a little bit her appearance), not to mention the worst wardrobe ever seen in a drama, which doesn’t serve her and is rather unpleasant to watch ( it’s part of the storyline and the ML is supposed to be blinded by his love for her inside beauty and not care about her neglected appearance paired with never cleaned flat) her friend told her toward the end that her boyfriend is going to be willing to move to the next step, and she should dress up more femininely… and the result is a joke. Not to mention that we are not spared the mid clad socks on parachute skirts during the majority of the drama.. Really? Seriously?…
this appreciation may be shallow but what the point of showing that in a romance drama? It is a question of respect for yourself, your colleagues and boyfriend to take a minimum care of yourself…Even in true beauty, they didn’t dare do that.

it is again really to bad because the storyline is really a good one, especially the SWAT focusing part, very interesting. Only, I couldn’t believe and root for the Main couple after the 20th ep…
A commander in the SWAT is expected to be assertive., which he is clearly not in his relationship with the FL. Also, i am surprised that his tidiness can accept such a level of neglect in the FL, from her appearance, to eating habit and lack of care of her habitat, which she transforms in dumpster by lack of cleaning and elementary hygiene,( gross and not funny at all), not compatible in my opinion with being a doctor. Scary even. Voila

SO GOOD

Please I loved this drama so much!!! I don’t know from where to start but future viewers can be reassured that there is no cringe worthy scenes, cliches, unnecessary drama or conflicts, breakups, literally none of them happens in this drama. Drama mainly focuses on main leads’ dynamic careers and their love life + 2 other couples. Scenes of them where they are doing their jobs were really good to watch and their relationship is so sweet! Unlike some other dramas both of them invest in their relationship equally instead of having one side pushing constantly. Another likable thing I observed about Mi Ka and Xing Kelei relationship is that in other dramas you constantly see intimate scenes(which is not a bad thing but when it’s too much it gets annoying) whereas in this one they gave more importance to their sweet words for each other and how one of them values the other one. When something happens to one of them, the way the other one worries really shattered my heart into pieces coz that’s what I usually look for in couple in dramas -how much one cares for the other one. Acting from whole cast is so so good! And last but not least, Xing Kelei is the hottest and most charismatic ML I have ever seen in an Asian drama! I want to start another cdrama but can’t move on from his charisma that I think I won’t have fun watching other MLs lol

Best show with great rewatch value

This is the best show to watch for script, music, cast, acting and art direction. A must watch for those who love romantic comedy, and great music. There are main plots and subplots which makes 40 episodes easy to watch even though it seems overwhelming to imagine how you would finish 40 if at all. Each character also has sufficient depth explored and developed so you feel like each actor had a chance to show their best in this series. There is wittiness in the characters and the funny moments make it fun. Watch the original channels that host it if you dont understand the language else the translation may not be as good.

Missing of chemistry between the main leads

The story and the acting is really good. This really shows how much communication and honesty is important in an relationship to avoid any misunderstanding or problems. Also showcase the professional working environment and struggles faced because of their jobs based on reality. When the leads work together for their mission or job its really good but during their private interactions there's no spark or chemistry between them it sometimes felt like they are siblings or they have close friends for a long time there's no compatability between them the romance felt like it was either faked or forced to do and they were like supporting leads instead of male leads. The chemistry between xia and shuwenbo was not really High but compared to main leads it's alright even shao and keyao was fine.

Cute and realistic romantic comedy

Storyline:
It was refreshing to watch a drama that just followed the natural progression of a relationship without inserting unnecessary villains trying to break them apart and having the main couple dealing with unspoken misunderstandings. It's a cute and realistic romantic comedy about a normal couple that are wholeheartedly in love and devoted to each other but navigate through the challenges of maintaining a relationship due to the nature of their demanding careers as a SWAT officer and a ER doctor/Neuro surgeon.

Characters/Acting:
- Main couple were cute and had good chemistry. What I liked most about their relationship is their open honesty with each other rather than letting misunderstandings or conniving people (those annoying sisters) get in between them like you see in most cdrama relationships.
- ML (Xing Ke Lei) I had an hard time seeing him as Mr. Tough Guy because he has such a young baby face. And I still see that actor in his quiet, naïve role in Rise of the Phoenixes. But his acting was good. It was so endearing how much he loved Mi Ka and always looked out for her.
- FL (Mi Ka) This is the 2nd series I saw her in (she was in Mr. Fighting w/ Allen Deng). She's a good actress. She always manages to come across as wholesome, sweet and genuine with a little spunk. She's very likable.
- Support couple (Wenbo and Xiao Xia) - cute progression of their relationship, particularly Wenbo who was utterly clueless when it comes to women and love but so honest.
- Xing Ke Yao - ML's older sister. She was one of my favorite characters. In the beginning you expect her to be a cold and controlling sister/character. But underneath that hard exterior she's such a loving, honest and nurturing person. I love the witty banter and relationship she has with her brother Xing Ke Lei.

Music:
- Decent. The upbeat song went well with the happy scenes.

Rewatch Value:
- Overall I enjoyed the show but not enough to re-watch it.

Realistically Good! A MUST

This is one of those dramas where, in the beginning, you are not sure if it's gonna be good or not, but then you stayed all throughout and had the feeling of satisfaction. This is 100% a really good drama. The poster didn't really catch my attention and I'm not familiar with any of the characters, so I just thought it's not gonna be good. But the comments and reviews have been saying it otherwise, so I gave this a go. I liked it. I stayed for 40 episodes and did not skip a beat.

Sandra Ma and Bai Jing Ting were absolutely beautiful and gave life to the characters. Especially Sandra Ma, she didn't even have much make-up but she is still beautiful. Although I'm not a fan of her wardrobe choices, her character was portrayed as simple and down-to-earth.

It's a slow burn but they give you a very healthy relationship. But even if it's a slow burn, it doesn't really fall into your most common drama tropes.

OST was also good. I really like Accident (意外) by Leaf (叶炫清) and Chen Xueran (陈雪燃).

I'm sorry to say I can't bear to watch an inch further than ep 10
Even for the sake of the second couple
And I jumped to the end and I missed almost nothing

Illogical Main leads
Annoying FL , Stupid , cold and weak
Something in her character was frustrating

And the ML inspite of being in a high position in special forces I saw his attitude turned to be childish

Till episode 04 it was amazing then down the hill so fast
Starting from episode 08
I press Fast forward button while watching
and I saw it already cold and lukewarm

Too much detailed medical surgeries
And medical descriptions as if they were filming a documentary movie about hospitals and patients

And too much special forces operations
They could easily reduce it to 24 eps without all these Boring details which made it like the scientific or medical channel

PS: Very Bad copy of Descendants of the sun

Sweet, warm and perfect drama

This drama is so comforting, the female lead is smart, the male lead is sweet, strong , understanding and actively shows interest for MI Ka it's just amazing. Even though Mika is shy and not very into dating world she is smart, she doesn't let herself be bullied and is very flirty and teases the Xing many times. At this point it doesn't feel like you're watching a drama but you're watching an actual couple being together they have such an insane chemistry that it doesn't even feel like they are acting but it's an actual relationship. This drama is perfect, if you just want a warm blankets, some comfort food and watch this as a comfort drama 100000/10 would recommend it's just so good. Thankfully there are no unnecessary break ups nor fights that last 2 episodes but actually like a 5 min time lapse.

DOTS VS YRMH

For all the users who have watched DOTS and want to know abt YAMH.
This is my honest review.
If you don't want to read the whole thing read the last line.

Differences
DOTS is abt a military man doing very highly dangerous worldwide missions. While YAMH is abt a high level police officer doing a few local dangerous jobs and mainly conducts training.

In DOTS the main lead is a funny guy who is serious abt his work and protecting people and never ever goes against his ethics of always protecting citizens first. In YAMH the guy is a cold guy who gets swayed by the girl and situations and I felt that he wasn't serious about never harming citizens.

Also in DOTS he asks the doctor to save a criminal just because he is a patient and a doctors job is to save while in YAMH there is scene where he asks why the doctors is saving the criminal.

Ik all these were negatives but there is one thing I liked is that the way they meet in YAMH is interesting.

There are many more differences but these were my major decision making factors sooo.

Anyway I have seen DOTS and after watching YAMH's 7 episodes I am bored with it so I really don't recommend it.

sweet but with the overboard asian flirting trope

The story is really cool and the characters are cool, it's starts really well and funny with the teasing and all. But honestly I don't like the trope that one lead falls really fast but the other doesn't like them and get annoyed by their presence. Then the one in loves goes overboard to get close to them, in this case is the housing situation (generally speaking so I don't spoil it for anyone).

I just think it's too much you know, I know that it doesn't last too long but the the way the FL treats the ML kinda. Also I couldn't move on from the situation I referred earlier, I know it's stupid but it really bothered.
