Dear Military Uniform (2021)

Come soventemente accade, su una durata di 40 ep la storia ha avuto un calo drastico. Più che la storia, il vero difetto di questo drama si riscontra nei personaggi, principalmente nel FL che diventa sempre più odiosa, infantile e stupida. A volte davvero avrei voluto entrare nella scena e tirarle due sberle. La colonna portante di questa opera è ML la cui recita riesce a sostenere il tutto ed è grazie a lui se ne ho finito la visione altrimenti l'avrei abbandonato molto prima. Ovviamente lui solo non può salvare il tutto che da me si prende un voto negativo.
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.

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!

Er Miao ❤❤

I am not sure how I feel about the drama ….there were times when I felt things could be done logically but the writers chose not to and at times I felt like I was enjoying too much to the point that everything could be ignored ….military medical combo has always been something I really look forward to and this drama kept me invested ….
Do I recommend you to watch it ….if you are looking for a military medical setup or if you have a soft spot for the leads you can give it a try ….but then for a 40 ep thing I really won’t say much cuz it’s a huge number …!!

Now moving to things I liked and disliked …..

Could have been shorter ….I always feel like long dramas have too much of not so necessary stuff …..
The show lacks logic at times, sometimes the FL outshines experienced doctors (I don’t mean to say that it isn’t possible but you know….. ) and at times she behaves too irrationally ….like I seriously wanted to tell her- go find the brain you were using a min ago ….
ML was most of the time likeable ….and no major issues with his character
Mi gu the most stupid character I have ever come across recently…. She was so damn annoying that I had to kick her out of my screen in order to keep my sanity ...( I entirely ignored her existence even then she managed to annoy me ....)
The cat Er Miao, officially my fav pet ......until I find someone I love more than her …. Too bad she did not get much screen time in the later half ….
The side stories of FL’s teacher ( sorry I am bad at remembering names ) and ML’s cousin were some of the things done right ….!! I enjoyed both the stories
The show started off well for me, the first few eps were really engaging….I liked the cohabitation part and some pinch of hate to love along with it, was really enjoyable ....
The ending, quite predictable ….no surprise element as such ….in fact I felt like some things were forced to fit and did not make too much sense ….(talking about zhao ran thing…..)

To sum up ….first half was really enjoyable and the second half could have been way better …..I would say that you should try it if you enjoy the genre …it might feel a bit draggy in the middle but I think if you can bear till the end ...it’s a decent watch !!

Hit or miss

This is one of those shows where you either enjoy the drama and it's your cup of tea or you loathe it. The first 2-3 episodes of the drams is the part that determined that. I admit that the 1st episode was so odd but I feel that moment you look past that, it is a drama you can thoroughly enjoy it.

A lot of people had high hopes for the drama but some ended up being let down. I consider this a shame because of the main cast they had but the plot was quite cliche and overused. There were parts that were "new" to see and that was hopeful for the drama. The mains were beyond childish towards each other and I occasionally found myself smiling during those moments. For once the lead actually talk about their feelings. It is a mature relationship which is refreshing to watch.

I like the main leads but the second leads were beyond questionable, especially Mi Gu. She is ready to ruin her friend for some guy knowing qell what Zhao Ran and Xiao Chu's history is like.  What a character and a horrible friend, she needs her priorities checked. If I was Xia Chu I would have dropped her long time ago but then the story wouldn't have a plot to explore. Xia Chu is also too navie to just believe Mi Gu. Another thing that irritated me was the amount of screen time the second leads got!!! Atleast Mi Gu got a brain at the end. I personally ship Xia Chu's mentor and the mom a lot, they were cute. The boy is as well, I love his acting, mate is truly going places.

I felt that the professional portrayal was meh but the military part had more accuracy than the medical part. At least with my limited knowledge. As it got towards the end it became rushed. Ugh!!!

good story bones but poorly developed

The storyline of the drama is good but the rest is just a huge flope. The only saving grace , whom by God tried to save the drama is the male lead. The worst bit is the female main lead who was annoying all through the drama. I just wish the storyline can be picked by someone with more affinity of researching characters before using them in plots for the drama otherwise if there was more character research, better script writing and actor sourcing the drama would have been a very huge hit. I am just saddened by the fact that in spite of all the cost of production and the efforts of all the actors and staff, this drama just failed to deliver.

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!!!

ML and FL did great.

After just completing episode 40 yesterday, I felt like the need to write my first ever review. For all the people wondering if they should start this drama, my answer is, YES! Although the story and certain characters were at times, unbearable to watch, the majority of it is well thought out. Yes, some episodes were extremely unnecessary and it did drag on for a bit towards the end, but in my personal opinion, the ML and FL did a great job to bring LMZ and XC to life. Although at times Li Qin's acting was a little overboard, both Johnny Huang and Li Qin nailed their characters and really brought the show to another depth. The show starts a little bit slow but picks up pace, and in my own opinion, the main characters really developed throughout this show. Overall, this show is one of those "hit or miss" kinds of things. You either love it, or you don't. Hope this helped.

from being obsess with descendants of the sun, crash landing on you, and having the chance to watch you are my hero i could say so far MY DEAR GUARDIAN is the best and exceeded my expectation.
I wonder their are comments here giving low scores when i myself is asking for a season 2 for this drama..
The male lead is the best picture and having best feature of a real capt soldier, compared to capt. Yi shi jin, capt. Ri and capt. Cing ke lei that you wouldnt dare to hurt them cause of their handsomeness, but for capt. Liang Muze his not really that handsome but for me he is the hottest capt. Perfect body, perfect stand of a soldier, perfect flying kick, perfect projection..
For the female lead comparing her to dr. Mika, her acting is far better, and her character is better, she is prettier and looks cleaner than dr. Mika of you are my hero, the way she dress is more acceptable..
But im just sad that the supporting male role died..we'll see with season 2..hoping!!just hope that pandemic will end cause its disturbing my binge watching..directors and artist cant shoot, producers cant invest..hoping and praying that everything will go back to normal so that we could watch MY DEAR GUARDIAN SEASON 2..

Its a must watch!

Its totally a my type romance and action drama. I know this has the same plot like few other dramas. Yet i love the way everytime a doctor and military falls in love. Despite being totally devoted towards their career they still stay together till the end. They overcome so many barriers in their path. This drama is not like the other romance dramas that it has too many love triangles and then the second lead's heartbreak etc etc. I feel like a lot of emotions and life lessons and messages is interconnected with this drama which it makes it worth watching. Overall i loved it!

40 episodes of painful watch

Very very very bad.

STORY
Story uninteresting, shallow and stupid. The plot was awful. Lousy villains and heroes.
ACTING - the characters were not interesting. but I think ML and FL were ok. Only ML Liang Zemu was ok and his friend Tian Yong. FL Xia Chu was a little boring, but she is the saviour of Chinese health system! She discovered new ways of treatment, find cure for diseases and only in her first year an intern!!!
Her best friend Mi Gu was a dumb, stupid, shallow person that helped a man murdering people and hurting her friend!
The villain was very boring, angry with the world.
All is bad, I don't even have the energy to criticize this show.
I may have to go to a brain surgeon to remove some tissue that died with this drama.

MUSIC - do not remember

REWATCH - never. Well, if I want to kill myself by destroying my brain...

OVERALL - a drama that I really want to forget

Feel sorry for those people who dropped this.

I read the comments on MDL and honestly, I feel sorry for those people who dropped this. They just missed one good hell of a story.

Story:
There are a lot of lines about sacrifice in this drama. Lovers sacrifice for their other half, family members for their loved ones, soldiers for their country and fellowmen, and doctors for their patients. For me, sacrifice is a really big thing and something that is hard to do and the fact that this drama has shown the different sides of sacrifice, already makes it a good drama. I didn't find it boring at all -- or probably some Mi Gu and Zhou Ran parts (read below). The story was very similar to You Are My Hero. One difference is in MDG, they had one enemy which they need to catch/destroy. In YAMH, there is no constant enemy but the couple meets a lot of danger together. But in terms of loyalty, friendship, sacrifice, love, family, and others, I could see a lot of similarities. And I actually think soldier/police-doctor stories is my thing now. I l loved DOTS, YAMH, and MDG. Hope it trends more.

[SPOILER] I'll talk about the couples now, probably spoilers.
1st couple, as a hopeless romantic, I was a little bit disappointed with the romance 'cause I was expecting more from Johnny Huang since he's had a great chemistry with his female leads. The main leads also had good chemistry, I just wish for more. Oh, and the way he just stares at her sometimes, already was full of meaning, he just needed his little cousin as interpreter 'cause the FL was a little dense.
2nd couple, Mi Gu and Zhou Ran... Personally, I dislike girls who fall head over heels guys and just lose their sanity and sense of reality. I felt so bad for them at the end, but it was something that was bound to happen. They were never going to end up together.
3rd couple, Dr Zhang and Meng Zhen, I loved Dr Zhang! How he was a playboy at first but became serious for Meng Zhen. He was really just searching and waiting for the right one. I also felt bad when they almost didn't end up together but I'm glad he came around, thanks to Xiao Jun, and the gossiping ladies at the canteen. As for the girl, I kind of wasn't convinced how she pushed away Dr. Zhang, comparing him to her first husband. Honestly, there's really no good in comparing things, in all aspects. Of course, they weren't going to be the same! You know, if it's love, it's love.
4th couple, my fave, but the saddest. Tian Yong and Xue, OMG, there are no words to describe them honestly. They were perfect for each other even if I think they have a huge age gap. There also no words other than devastation for this couple. My heart still aches when I think about it. I kind of saw it coming but I still hoped for the best. She actually deserves him, she needed someone as true and naive as he is, but sadly, it wasn't meant to be. It just hurts.

[CHARACTERS]
- Main FL. A lot of people found her annoying. At first, I also did. But damn, her principles and passion as doctor, really touched me. She could be a coward sometimes but the care she has shown to her patients was really something. I think she was the only doctor in the whole drama who was like that. The other doctors were actually a little bit selfish, and that was even more annoying.
- Tian Yong: I LOVED HIM, definitely one of my faves in this drama. Again, it's just so sad what happened to him, so unfair.
- The other resident doctor: I HATE HER. She was one of those doctors who were super selfish. TBH, most of he doctors in this drama were selfish, but her in particular. I disliked how she went back and forth, enemy then friend to the FL. Even if she explained herself at the end, I still dont like her.
- Dr Zhang's ex: Most selfish doctor. PERIOD.

My review was super long, but it was more like comments than a review. Overall, it's good drama! Just watch it. ;)
