Give it a watch, it might be worth your time.
I’m all about the high speed chase when it comes to romance dramas I don’t usually do slow burns, so I passed on this drama once or twice before. Until one day I was on YouTube casually browsing when I fell victim to those outrageously titled C-Drama clips and decided to give “My Dear Guardian” a try despite the bad reviews. I’m so glad I decided to watch it.Although MDG is 40 episodes, I’m not mad at it at all. I think Xia Chu and Mu Ze had a lot to work on in terms of their professional careers and healing from their past. The pacing made sense to me. I was on the edge of my seat every episode while watching their love quietly blossom.
On Xia Chu’s personality: She’s incredibly smart, bubbly and energetic. I would liken her personality/tone to that of the cute characters that Esther Yu, Zhao Lusi, or Dilraba Dilmurat played in their past work. If those type of characters are not your favorite then you might not like Xia Chu but I still say give it a try.
As with any dramas there was a little bit of propaganda here and there but none that had me wanting to stop watching. After all this is a medical/military drama so I expected no less.
The OST is top tier, there are so many good songs to add to your playlist. Overall this was the perfect adult romance to watch when you want a break from the craziness the drama world has to offer.
P.S. iykyk I hope those figurines of Mu Ze and Xia Chu are on sale I need them ASAP.

Decent action-romance plot after a long, long time!
A decent action-romance plot after a long, long time. Looking at the comments though I think its really under-rated coz I believe this was probably one of the best military-action-romance plots out there and everything about the story followed the right logic in a balanced sensible manner. Acting was to the point where every character suited their roles perfectly. I have been following Li Qin well recently and I gotta say she is one of the top chinese actresses out there, with realistic acting approach and of course, really beautiful. This drama had significantly grown its value through her casting. Unnecessarily dragged yes, but that's always been my problem with chinese drama, and this series was among the few chinese drama that I completed despite that, which just shows how great this show was. Some of the scenes were so emotional that they brought tears to my eyes, which is rare with me for chinese drama coz I often find them a little artificial emotions wise, especially the last few episodes. And I love a good military strategical drama and although this wasn't all there on the strategy point of view, sometimes even a little boring so i had to skip through, the action sequences and romance quenched that thirst instead. Overall your missing out on a really great drama if you skip this one.Was this review helpful to you?
There are very little redeeming values....
I haven't started a rant review in ages, and this one I thought I will flex my fingers today. Just a quarter of a way through the series. I am curious why the ratings are so low. I can ignore the unrealistic scenarios, how a surgeon can have so much time on her hands, and a military captain can have so much free time off base and on furlough. Once again the female lead character is, boy, irritating (that firing rounds of staccato words from her mouth) and stupidly immature, and dumb. With that blonde IQ how did she made it into medical school I wonder? She comes up with 1+1= 4 maybe 5. I have seen Li Qin in other series and she was quite good, so it has to the scriptwriters' fault. The script for the female has once again failed to do the female justice. Did they hire a silly girl off the street to write the character of an irritating 26-year-old doctor, who is stupid beyond belief, she wasn't funny!!! She actually helped a kid to send a false message to mum? For F-sake she is a doctor!! And this is only episode 8!! I can see more mudslides further down ... The only reason I will stay on and watch the series is because of Johnny Huang JIngYu, whose humour is so dry you can hear it crack and the delivery is excellent! NOT to mention he is a hunky eye candy! He has a bright future ahead. The production value is very high and a lot of potential but shame about the script.. China, if you want to compete, you really need to polish up your script, which is the most important thing and something intelligent for the director to work with. OH they should renamed the hospital Ningjing Beverly Hills Hotel, patients checked in and they rarely checked out! or Maybe call Hospital Death.Was this review helpful to you?
Cdrama romántico con soldado y doctora entretenido
De este drama había leido en twitter que era un remake de Descendants of the sun, pero después de ver el trailer pensé que tenía un aire a You are my hero. De hecho está entre las dos pero no es un remake de ninguna. La historia es diferente, las vidas de los personajes también y el punto de partida del drama también difiere de esos dos dramas que son de mis preferidos. También tiene algunas similitudes. Me encantan las historias de soldados y los dramas médicos y si se combinan en un solo drama pues mejor. Como en You are my hero, este drama tiene buenas escenas de acción, muy bien hechas y nuestro cachas soldado protagonista, interpretado por Johnny Huang está perfecto en ese papel . Las escenas del hospital dónde trabaja la protagonista son también interesantes, emotivas y nos muestran como evoluciona la FL. Xia Chu es una persona bondadosa y alegre, una doctora con corazón. Su vida es su profesión y aún no ha olvidado las cicatrices que le dejó un primer amor adolescente. No esperemos en las escenas en el hospital, grandes recreaciones de las cirugías y las intervenciones médicas. El drama no entra en detalles en ese aspecto.La historia de amor de la pareja principal se va desarrollando lentamente pero me gustan bastante. Su química es innegable, y son muy cuquis juntos: él tan grandote y ella tan menuda, son una monada. Hay otras dos parejas en el drama: Una no me emociona mucho, no digo nada más para no hacer spoiler pero me dejan bastante fria, a ver si a partir del capitulo 20 empiezan a despegar. Pero el descubrimiento ha sido la "Third couple": el soldado poeta y la chica loquita pariente del protagonista. Buenooooo esta pareja si que tienen encanto, gracia y química!!!! Esperemos que les den más minutos porque son adorables.
ACTUALIZADO: Ayer lo acabé y me ha gustado, ha sido entretenido. Tiene lagunas, eso sí, algunos giros mal explicados o algunos momentos que no se entienden bien, sobretodo me refiero a la historia del antagonista mafioso, bufff, la verdad es que lo odié bastante y su relación con la amiga tonta también. El final feliz para nuestra pareja principal estaba quizá más que cantado, y estoy muy feliz por ellos, pero lo que nos ha dejado desconsolados es un giro de una parte de la historia que no esperábamos y que creo innecesario, no digo más para evitar spoiler pero he llorado y me indignado muchísimo , a ver que pensáis vosotros! Conclusión: es una serie que se deja ver pero pierde mucho en comparación con sus primas hermanas, las maravillosas Descendants of the sun y You are my hero. Si os gustan las de militares y médicos empezad por estas!!!

Excellent
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce drama même s'il m'a fallut deux ou trois épisodes pour être sure de vouloir le continuer et je n'ai absolument pas regretté mon choix. J'ai découvert Johnny Huang Jingyu ici et il est devenu un de mes acteurs préféré.L'histoire est vite devenue prenante, malgré quelques petites fausses notes comme l'actrice principale qui surjoue dans certains passages (plus que la moyenne drama si vous comprenez ce que je veux dire...) j'ai dévoré les épisodes et cette dernière est dans mon top 10.

Classic, mix romance/action (soldier/doctor) with great actors and a good production
I admit, I watched this drama for Johnny Huang and because I like soldier/doctor dramas.This one is very nice and catchy:
- Great CL (I'm a fan of Johnny Huang!!) but with too rare romantic scenes,
- the story is coherent, with logical clues to the scenes to come,
- the action scenes are numerous and well done,
- the sets are realistic (including the hospital)
- the production is dynamic (we don't get bored, there are no useless scenes)
- the soundtracks go well with the emotions conveyed.
All is not perfect, however:
- The "evil characters" are a little too much and super smart (they miraculously find their prey, are informed of everything will happend, etc.)
- the "best friend" is madly in love, but above all totally brainless.
- Of course, as in all military dramas (regardless of the country), there is no escaping the nationalist couplet (but that's the game :). Here, it is still excessive!
In conclusion, if you are a fan of the soldier/doctor mix, watch it, you will have a great time.

La prima parte la salvo tutta, ma nella seconda riusciamo cmq ad avere alcune scene carine e alcune d'azione belle e in cui lei sembra riprendersi ma ahimè pia illusione. La sua amica poi è peggio di lei. Io davvero non capisco come opere di tale livello, perchè nonostante tutto si vede l'impegno, lo studio e i cash che ci sono dietro, riesca a fallire così.
A volte mi domando se non sono stata troppo dura con you are my hero, visto le post produzioni.

um drama lindo
o Dorama em si é maravilhoso, tanto que eu maratonei só que tem alguns pontos negativos até agora não entendo o porquê da morte do soldado sendo que a história de amor entre ele e a prima do prota estava tão linda estava começando a se desenvolver aí vem o autor e mata o homem do nada só para dar o coração a mãe do b******, também não gostei da morte do policial, no geral é um Dorama bom e vale a pena acompanhar.o amor dos protagonista é lindo e perfeito o quanto os dois se completa e se entendeWas this review helpful to you?
Il 2021 è stato un buon anno per i Drama cinesi
E questo titolo lo dimostra appieno. 40 puntate non noiose e ripetitive, tanta azione, storia d'amore giusta e non ingombrante e sopratutto personaggi abbastanza realistici. La storia ha un filone principale che segue i due personaggi principali, una dottoressa militare e un capitano delle forze speciali dell'esercito. Si incontrano in un giorno qualsiasi, lei diventa ostaggio dei terroristi e lui fa parte del team che deve liberare l'ospedale e tutti i suoi occupanti. Poi per alterne vicende si trovano a condividere lo stesso appartamento. Poi ci sono i filoni secondari che seguono le vicende dei ruoli di supporto che non sono affatto da meno della storia principale con cui si intrecciano e che aiutano ad andare avanti in momenti che potrebbero invece essere stagnanti. È una bella storia e avvincente? sì Lo consiglierei? Sì a tutte quelle come me che amano guardare intrecci complessi, in questo caso il contrasto di traffici internazionali, che vogliono anche un po' conoscere la Cina attraverso il rispetto, i rapporti familiari e anche lavorativi, e che vogliono vedere qualcosa che sia anche stimolante, i protagonisti di queste storie hanno tutti lavorato duramente per occupare i posti che occupano ma non disdegnano anche l'andare oltre le rigide regole se necessario salvare vite o trovare soluzioni innovative. Insomma c'è un po' di tutto e a me è piaciuto molto, al punto tale che, non essendo una da drama troppo lunghi, queste quaranta puntate, invece, me le sono godute tutte!Was this review helpful to you?
Quando se espera muito
Eu esperava tanto dessa trama , o enredo é bom tinha tudo para ser um grande drama e confesso que nos primeiros episódios eu estava até gostando porem depois alguma coisa se perdeu e foi só ladeira baixo. Achei muito arrastado exageradamente longo ,gente foram intermináveis 40 episódios .Achei tudo muito mediano, a história não conseguiu me prender. As partes de ação são boas bem feitas porém não consegue fazer milagre e salvar o drama, eu queria mais que isso tinha material para ser mais que isso. E desculpe descordar da multidão mas eu achava aquele gato falante bizarro , irritante não combinava com a história .
Casal principal sem química nenhuma , romance morno e raso A protagonista feminina era irritante na maioria das vezes .
Único romance que gostei foi do professor com a mae solteira apenas.
Em fim não gostei, pra mim foi de mediano para ruim. Se você tiver outras coisas para assistir recomendo deixar esse drama aqui pro final da sua lista.

LA SOLITA CINESATA...
...dove il Paese è forte, grande, meraviglioso; e noi siamo forti, grandi e meravigliosi e non abbiamo altro scopo nella vita che far diventare sempre piú grande, forte e glorioso il nostro Paese, il migliore al mondo. La sigla iniziale, dopotutto, ne è il compendio perfetto.Peccato, perché l'incipit mi pareva interessante.
