Tu es mon héros (2021)

Was it a nice romance show with bits of slice of life? Yes. It had some awesome characters, even pacing, good messages and fun moments - it was just not tight enough.

I have no idea why writers still like to pretend shows like that can be 40 episodes long and it makes sense - especially if the episodic elements of the plot ain’t that good to carry the show in-between the main plot moving forward.

I greatly liked the relationship between Mika and Ke Lei - before and after they got together. It’s rare to see a couple in a drama actually act like a couple, being silly, joking around, all the great and fun domestic business. The show did lose some spark after they officially started dating, but that’s because the writers kept keeping them apart. All the scenes they actually shared were great.

That said, do I think Mika and Ke Lei are good as individual characters? Not really. Mika is a saint - the good, moral, hard working, forgiving, flawless. I truly cannot think of one bad trait she had that would allow for some nice character development. She was truly boringly perfect.

Ke Lei was a bit better in that aspect. Still ridiculously good, but at least he showed lack of assertiveness when dealing with people he knew… a few times.

On the other hand, I had exactly the opposite issue with the second and third couple - they did not work that well together, but they were more interesting individually. Qing Xia was fun and a little bit spoiled, Wen Bo was an honest and reliable guy, also clueless af. Ke Yao and Dr. Shao felt the most realistic out of all the characters, but their interactions together were also the most boring.

Truth to be told 2 duos I like the best to watch were Ke Lei and Ke Yao, and Mika and Dr. Shao. Positive family relations and uplifting mentor-mentee pairs are some of my favorite aspects of the shows.

There were also some annoying side characters that deserve no redemption, and yet it was given.

For the plot, except for the romances blooming left and right and some nice slice of life elements, the show does not really offer that much. Majority of the work related plots and scenes were either boring, or poorly developed - sadly they took quite a bit of the screen time.

Everyone delivered in terms of acting. I did question some crying scenes from Ma Si Chun, but it was not bad enough to complain about. Wang Yang was my favorite - I am biased though, I love this man so much. He is just natural and he makes every role he plays a worthy performance.

Production value was nice - surprisingly many aesthetically pleasing shows. Editing was also nice. Liked the set design, even if at times it felt ridiculous how these people can afford the places they are staying at. For the soundtrack, I honestly do not remember one song from the show.

Overall, it’s a decent show. Nothing amazing, but serves as a good chill after work watch.

A gem of 2021! No nonsense but profound romance

What a treat it has been to watch "You Are My Hero"! The story of a special police officer and a doctor encountering situations at work and personal life will leave you with sweet emotions. To be honest first I thought it might be similar to 'Descendents of The Sun'. But trust me except for the job description both are totally different and treat to watch.

The leads were adorable. The FL wasn't nagging and clingy like other stereotypes. She was a strong woman dedicated to saving lives. Even the ML had a strong aura serving the nation. Both complimented each other perfectly. Xing Kalei and Mi Ka met each other in an incident and fate brought them together at the training of Renxin. After that their interactions started, both began to discover each others nature and dedication causing them to fall for each other.

The second leads were so cute. Xing Keyao and doctor Shao, got separated because of a past situation and finally met again. Flirty reporter Xia Xia and slow regarding romance Shu Wenbo had their own happy ending. The fellow police officers were adapt in their roles. Even the sibling quarrels between Keyao and Kalei will entertain you. They all balanced the mood.

The OST's were pretty nice. I liked the cinematography as well.

If you're trying to find a drama without unnecessary misunderstandings between leads, families trying to separate them, trust issues, annoying third party then this is for you. Hope you enjoy their cute yet profound love.

More than thousands of people are risking their lives to save a nation. They have our respect and gratitude.

Not as good as 10

Many reviews are giving it 10s but unfortunately it wasn’t for me. And here’s why:
1. Storyline
What I liked- Yes the storyline and plot was very interesting. A Swat special police and a doctor- not the typical CEO/ employee, rich man/poor girl/ tall guy /short girl, handsome/cute nonsense.
What I didn’t like- some parts were boring! If it was intense like Grey’s Anatomy or thrilling suspense like 24, man that would be awesome. But the background episodes on their “daily lives” were just yawnnnn and slow. The first episode was captivating, was quite engrossed until episode 5. Up until around episode 20-21, it was engaging. Unfortunately the latter half was just a lot of skipping.

2. Romance
Sigh... many said their chemistry was fantastic. I’m sorry but I could not agree. Before they actually dated, I felt their connection was more intense. But after they started dating , I felt Xing Kelei and Mi Ka were more like BFFs or like a married couple of 10 years. Laughing and understanding, but not enough tingling za-Za-zing you would normally have as a new couple. To me the romance development was disappointing.

3. Too long
It dragged on for 40 episodes. Could have done with maybe only 25-30? Between episodes 22-38 it was repetitive and not very interesting. The last two episodes were great with the bus hostage situation. Ending was meh... not that I wanted to see a wedding, but felt rather abrupt.

I haven’t watched DOTS, so I’m not making any comparisons at all. Should you watch this drama? Yes give it a go. But don’t expect much...

Don't go to Dr Mi Ka even for check up..

Ok...I can say I know well about Hospital/medical environment (not in China). In reality, patients are more abundance than white coats and no surgeons hang out with less than PA. Anyway, Sandra Ma is too young to be a Neurosurgeon no matter how brilliant she's academically, at least 15-20 years after HS to become junior neurosurgeon few years before they can obtain license and certification - she should be at least 32-35-40 years old to become one because it's very extensive study and training, when they use all the medical terminology I don't think she could independently doing a procedure without higher supervision or maybe is in China..I don't know...especially Outpatient hospital does not perform any major surgery like brain /nerve. Exaggeration of medical environment, that's all I can say, but yes...it's only drama not real cases. Become a doctor isn't easy, not to mention a neurosurgeon, only a few were achieve to that level. It bothers me watching this drama. But ok, besides the reality of it, Dr Mi Ka isn't typical so don't try it at home. Xing Ke Lei was pretty cute, he looks like on his early 20th and Xing Ke Yao a pretty cool sister, amazing brother/sister relationship. Shao Yu Han is more like a surgeon, maturity and mind set likely close to the real one. I like this drama fine....can't give higher overall rate than 7. l like the most was Wayne Wang and Zhang Yao....

One of the Best Cdrama I've Ever Watched

If you like light romance story with no major problems or misunderstanding in relationships, this series is for you.

The main character is Doctor Mi, Mi Ka. An independent woman with clear vision as a doctor. Kind-hearted and gentle. The real definition of good doctor. And there's our Captain Xing, Xing Kelei. An exceptional captain of special police officer squad (SWAT). Handsome, cool and charismatic. A very good match indeed.

Let's talk about the thing I love the most in this series, the main couple. They might not be able to see each other or have dates that often because of their jobs, but their relationship remain strong without any big disputes. They have a really mature relationship in my opinion. When there's a problem, they are willing to talk it out immediately and solved it so it doesn't cause any misunderstanding or a bigger problem. I really love Ka-Lei relationship. They're not selfish for their partner's attention and really trust each other. Love, trust, considerate, understanding, communication. They have it alI. I guess that's the basic of mature relationship. "When you need a shoulder to lean on, I'll always be here. When you need someone to support you, I'll be your strongest pillar."

The second couple's story is quite interesting. I really admire witty Xiao Xia's courage. Not gonna lie sometimes I want to punch Wenbo on the gut. But nevertheless I love the second couple as well. They're so cute. The third couple's story is interesting too. I love sassy but classy Sis Keyao and also Doctor Shao's personality. They really suit each other.

About the plot, there are not any unnecessary scenes. The plot is outstanding and well-written, flows really well. It has something that can get you addicted with the story, so you won't be able to stop watching and always want to know what happened next. This series shows you the reality of doctors and polices. The casting director did a very good job. The acting is top-notch, the chemistry between couples/friends/teammates is good. Suitable soundtracks for every situations/parts that need soundtracks.

Super recommended series, one of the best. Must watch! I definitely will rewatch again!

THIS IS THE SIGN YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IF YOU'RE HESITANT TO WATCH IT!!

Ok so I just found this one accidentally (sometimes dramas you find accidentally are the best) ended up watching it ongoing every week. Lol I guess it's because their first meeting ain't boring at all (well atleast for me I have soft spot for actions haha) and that's the reason why I fell inlove with Xing Kelei's character. He looks like a serious/cold captain at first but who wouldn't have thought that he is the sweetest guy you would want to have in your life. He is such a cutie, acting superior in front of his Tiger Assault Team and his missions but acts like a baby when it comes to Mi Ka
You can easily notice that he have something for Mi Ka the second time they met at the training ground. He's attention is always on Mi Ka, calling her out always which is the cutest. He's the first one who soften up. At first I was kinda hating Mi Ka's character because I find Kelei the one who always make an effort in their relationship, but! Ended up appreciating Mi Ka's mature approach when it comes to their relationship because they both have special jobs, she is a doctor, he is a captain of special police. I don't think they have face big dating conflicts like in some dramas all throughout the story because they both think each others perspective (which is what I really do love). For me they have the healthiest relationship.
And that's the charm of this drama.

Highly recommended and will probably rewatch this one.

NO DOUBTS BEST 2021 CHINESE DRAMA!!! TT

I just finished watching it and here I am writing my very first review on MDL, cos I just had to do it cos this drama was deserves every ounce of love and recognition. First of all this is my first ever Chinese on air drama that I did not stop in the middle at all, these 45 mins episodes felt like 10 minutes, I swear, at the end of each episode I was like omg is it finished already ?! My heart was so filled with happiness because of this drama.

Before it released it was compared to Descendants of The Sun a lot, just cos FL was a doctor just as DOTS but here ML was a police officer (in DOTS he is a soldier)

I always loved DOTS and it is one of my favourites kdramas but YAMH holds a special place in my heart now, I almost completely love it more than DOTS TT

I mostly watch kdramas but eventually watch Chinese dramas too, usually the on air ones I tend to stop them for while if it gets boring but this was different: the story, the cast, OST, and honestly just everything was amazing. The synopsis might sound very similar to other military/medical dramas or not very innovative, but once you start watching it you'll be totally hooked.
The drama does not only focus on the main leads' love story, but their respective careers too which I found soo interesting. The drama shows both doctors and the SWAT teams' lives in a very detailed way.

Xing Ke Lei (Bai Jing Ting) is showed as this strict SWAT team captain when working but in reality he is a handsome, cute and caring boyfriend and brother too. Mi Ka (Sandra Ma) is very independent and dreams to save as many lives as she can and cares a lot about others, and she inspired me a lot as a person.

SOME MORE GOOD POINTS ABOUT THIS DRAMA:

- The main couple is very understanding and they have a very healthy relationship, there's no unnecessary drama or arguments. Both main actors' chemistry was great and the acting was natural, and you can't even feel the age difference between the two.
- The second couple was really cute too, unlike what other viewers said, I really liked them even though Shu Wen Bo was a little slow at expressing his feelings but then acted quickly... Ruan Qing Xia is successful woman, her character is very cool and watching her trying hard for Shu Wen Bo was really fun.
-The third couple, which I thought I wouldn't like as much, turns out to be one of my favourites, they were very understanding, both grown up adults that don't express in words, they just quietly understand each other which was so so cute.
- OST was brilliant, I did not skip the intro and ending track once and for the next couple of months they're going to stay on repeat!!

Overall, I loved this drama, it taught me a lot, and each character had their own story and flaws. 40 episodes just flew by and I'll miss it like crazy, and also the checking the comments section daily, reading spoilers on twitter and MDL, I have never been this much invested into a drama and discussed it with so many people here on MDL ever before lmfao.

I can't thank the cast and team of YAMH enough for this gem!! Thanks for reading!! <3

WARNING! This drama will ruin all other dramas for you!

Before I begin with this review, let me make a few things clear:

1) This is not a remake of DOTS!! The synapsis can definitely be misleading here, but truthfully speaking, they’re hardly alike. In my opinion, this is a completely different plot and is much better than DOTS.

2) The crew has somehow read our minds to create one of the best dramas out there. No, I’m not exaggerating. I’m sure most people will agree.

3) If you find C-Dramas to be too cliche, don’t worry, there’s none of that here! Although like every other drama, there are the typical moments here and there, it’s nothing like other very cliche C-Dramas.

4) Although 40 episodes seems long, it’s so amazing and well organized that you'll never want it to end.


Now, let’s begin this review.

Synopsis:

Honestly, no matter how I put this, for some reason, it will still sound like DOTS. Before I watched it, I thought the same. I admit, the main idea and theme of the plot is similar, but the watching experience and storyline are almost completely different. In other words, keep it a surprise ;)

Overall review:

The best way I can describe this drama is that the crew has somehow gone into our heads, saw what we truly want in a drama, made it 10x better, and put it out there for us to enjoy. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that this drama has been so good that not only has it become my favourite, but I find it so hard to look for a new drama to watch these days. After seeing this, most other dramas go to trash. This masterpiece they created is going to be very very difficult to beat.

You know that feeling you had as a kid on the mornings of an exciting field trip? Waking up extra early and immediately thinking “it’s finally the day!”. That! That’s exactly how this drama made me feel every morning: an excitement I never thought I could once again experience. I would impatiently count the days until Thursday would come along, wake up so early every time a new episode is released, and immediately get watching. I have to admit, it deserved that. I’ve seriously never loved a drama this much. From the cast, the story, the visuals, the chemistry, and everything else, it’s just perfect.

The primary thing that kept me so intrigued was the swoon worthy plot. No it wasn’t cringy. And no, the characters didn't really make big stupid decisions that caused major misunderstadigs, rather they found a balance and were understanding of each other’s careers as well as being honest to one another. This healthy relationship balance is one that I’ve never seen so successful in a drama before. It’s usually either too much drama or too little drama, too many misunderstandings or unrealistically smooth, but this one was so well prepared that everything happened at the right time and place. In my opinion, this is the primary reason this drama is so successful. It’s like a delicious and satisfying perfectly balanced breakfast to get you ready for the day.

The characters were of course the best part of the show. SPOILER ALERT! We’re introduced to 3 very different couples. All with a different story, history and pace. I love having multiple couples in dramas, but this one truly beats all. There are no stupid complications and love triangles between them (maybe a little ;), rather they were all friends rooting for each other to be together and finally come to form a beautiful bond.

I could say a lot more, but this is already too long. To sum this up, I have one final thing to say: Uhum uhum. WATCH IT! NOW! I don’t care what doubts you have, just watch it! Believe me, you won’t regret it :)

Thank you for reading :)

A DRAMA THAT LET'S CHARACTERS BE NORMAL? A GENUINE 10/10 IN MY BOOK!

Wow, this drama never failed to amaze... From beginning to end, it was entertaining, cute, and made you gasp for the characters at times. I remember sitting back and thinking from time to time "THEY LET THEM RESOLVE THAT ISSUE NORMALLY? NO BREAK UP, NO RUNNING AWAY? LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE?" - I've been so scarred by tropey dramas I thought my eyes were deceiving me.

I REALLY, REALLY appreciate the writers for this one - they finally figured out how to write up a story that lets a FL defend herself, allows the couple to be together the entire time, and keeps open communication between characters at all times. What a rare find!

What I like about this drama is that it almost tricks you into thinking they'll follow one of the many drama tropes we know, (sickness that leads to breakup or dishonesty, an evil female / male lead that tries to break the main cp up, family members that object the relationship, workmates that start crushing on our leads, misunderstandings that break characters up, etc.) but they don't! They quickly move past their problems and their relationship is so much stronger - just like people in real life do.

I love the main couple too, Bai Jing Ting and Sandra Ma did a wonderful job as Xing Kelei and Mi Ka. Their relationship is exactly as it should be - great communication, always trying to be honest with each other, EXCELLENT CHEMISTRY, and very understanding of each other... Even when it might be hard. I liked the incorporation of their fields and it was exciting to watch the characters in action. The second couple took a while to finally get together, but I was rooting for them the whole time! (And they were the CUTEST) Also AGH, the second male lead (Shu Wen Bo / Cheng Hao), someone give this man a main lead!

This drama was a definite 10/10, I don't see why you're not starting it now!

Fun

So this gets a good solid 7 from me. Not a masterpiece in my mind but entertaining. ML is adorable. It is somewhat hard to believe he is the youngest SWAT captain ever but we will let that go. Female lead is normal in pretty much everything. That is why I guess I enjoyed it so much. I can not tolerate these Cdramas where the female lead is in her mid-twenties and acts like a thirteen year old. I think all in all they were a pretty cute normal couple. The second couple I did find very annoying. The second FL was a stalker in my mind and the second ML was just a total blockhead. The third couple I enjoyed and was rooting for. This was a welcome relief from the last few shows I have tried to get through. I would say one of my favorite fluff dramas of this year.

Slow plot advancement, average acting, uninteresting and unrealistic hospital and swat scenes

I do not understand why this drama has such high ratings except for the fact that the male lead is handsome and some view it as an idol drama meant for younger audiences.

Both the swat and hospital seems were incredibly unrealistic, and there’s no chemistry, friendship, character development between the colleagues in the hospital or the SWAT environment. The disaster relief, training and crime busting scenes had no interesting stories, making them time wasters.

The FL is not able to come across as someone who has finesse and excellence in her job while being ditsy at the same time simply because of the way she handles patients and medical equipment (along with all the rest of the cast as well actually). It’s forgiveable that she handles medical emergencies like someone worse than a first-aider, but she at least needs to have the facial expressions to go along with it, that’s why it’s called acting.

That said, the main dullness of the show the female FL and ML, and the 2nd leads, don’t have a strong character or plot arc.

The drama is simply filled with patient and swat training when there’s nothing going on between between the cast.

I dropped the drama at episode 18.
