Meu Querido Guardião (2021)

Oh! My Dear ! Let me tell you a story !

IT'S A GOOD STORY ! A story so good, no matter how hard they try to mess it up THEY CAN'T!!!!
STORY: It's another one of them Officer/Medic dramas ! it does honor to the genre (so far!) unique in it's own , different from YAMH and DOTS(not to name them all!) The problem is the production! You can tell the writer was out of their elements trying to fluff it into 40 episodes, trying really hard not to dilute it. Including slice of life and secondary conflicts here and there to make it Lenghty. It would have been so much more amazing if it stayed concise and compact with a banm banm banm chain of events because let me tell you : The Core of the story is AMAZING and it's moving quite nicely! The mind buggling unnecessary adjacent like the forever screaming cousin going through her own awakening, The self-centered heartless wench of a heart-surgeon in need of a good sit-down and so on is tiresome and robs you of the intensity said drama would need!
OH AND THAT FRIEND .... unnecessarily dumb, selfish and imprudent for a successful career woman but they had to give her screen time to make space! Who needs enemies when you have friends like that! i can't wait for the FL to send her packing!
ACTING: NO complains at all !!!! Even said screaming cousin is so good at what she does ! FL is a little on the nose but on brand with the character, she's built to drive him insane but doesn't and that's what fascinates him hence " Da Luv" XD ! ML is played by an actor who has very well lived in a uniform all his life so i'm sure this was a peice of cake for him!
MUSIC: Entirely forgettable so far ! Definitely not an OST you'll add to your playlist later on if you ask me
REWATCH: Meh! it would be a simple and fun rewatch , you'd end up skipping all the adjacent slice of life i guarantee ! straight to love and war because that's what matters and that's what is so good about this drama!

Tolerable Story Plot Holes

This is going to be short. I am watching this while airing and so far so good. Story is good, a few plot holes and 1 dumb ass character. I love the effects and action scenes cause it's nothing like your normal chinese production. There are a bunch of good car chase scenes that was breath taking.
Beware of the FL bestfriend... Just beware.
Soundtracks are nothing special and there are some ridiculous conversations but just let it go and look for the brighter sides.
Good job to the actors! It wasn't over the top, they are just better than the 45 percent of the other actors out there.

The story i s a little bit cliché.

I was hesitant to watch this drama because I find the plot is too similar to those I've seen before. But still I was able to finished it and I was contented with what they have done. This is not the best but not the worse drama I have seen. Anyway good job to staff and crew for giving us a well synchronize fight scenes. The props that used in this drama was well prepared and they actually provide good stuff.
The actors was amazing!!!!! hand up to all!

re-watch value : I might watch this one !!!

If you want to watch a series while waiting for the other series to finished I can recommend this one.
It is easily digested and no complicated and twisted plot


stay safe everyone!!!!

Satisfactory

This drama is interesting....

What went wrong?
The Length of the Drama, way too long. 40 Episodes is excessive. It is a very slow burn. I know Johnny Huang acts in plenty of long dramas but he is exceptional actor with good report with the audience. If his dramas were scaled back to 24 episodes they would be so much better!

What went right?
I felt the character development for the supports towards the end. Lot had boring irrelevant dialogue at the start but it picked up momentum late. I was very invested in the side stories of the supports.

What would I change?
The Main Leads direction in the end. I will be honest, I am a big Johnny fan but felt the ending didn't do him right. Li Qin was good as Female Lead but didn't want me seeing more of her if I am being honest, Johnny yes, Li Qin no!

The drama earnt a good score for its ending. Very sad endings for the supports, not the mains. The supports really did come alive and save this drama to a good score.

If you wondering is it worth or not to watch

Is it recommended? YES!! For you who loves action medical army it is very recommended for you, but to rewatch? No.
Actually the story line is good and i don't have any complain except for medical things like how Xia Chu trying to break the rules (nah real doctor will never do some experiment with 10:90 probability and real doctor wouldn't bring their personal emotions for their patient and then trying to make patient's family agree with her without head doctors permissions) for me it just unprofessional, then how they did chest compression is just ughh?
Honestly i wouldn't complain it just if... IF their acting is good, female lead acting is really annoying beside Liang Muze but it will be natural when she acted with others, i don't know why maybe it just Xia Chu character? I dunno. It makes Huang Jingyu character feel awkward, while Jingyu known as well as actor with good chemistry with his partner, but sorry Jingyu trying the best while the girls don't.
BUTTTT there is something good why you should watch because of supporting roles is so damn good, i'm falling in love with 3rd couple Liang Shaoxue and Tian Yong. Their chemistry since the first met is really good and Shaoxue could brings the real teenager emotions while tian yong would hide his emotion and doing act to made watchers happy funny cry angry sad.
For the story i've said before it is really good for medical action, you would see some act of Liang Muze and team holding their guns, then how rich this drama? i would say this is expensive drama because they are shooting in yesaya, bring the tank, bomb a lot of buliding, until casting so many foreign for supporting roles.
That's why you should watch it when you want to healing urself, it's the light drama and recommended to watch but not for rewatch

I'm rewatching it again, but it's unnecessarily LONG, and draggy.

TBH, I LOVE THIS DRAMA. I'm currently rewatching it again with 2x speed playback for Johnny Huang. Because he look mad hot in this drama.

Johhny Huang character? I don't really have complain about his character, not. He portrays a good military man, his actions, how he react to stuff and what he says are all good.

Xia Chu the FL, I'm not rly a fond of her character, she's a doctor but I feel like some of her actions here is not a good representation of a doctor. But she's a fair enough character (for me)

My fav character in this drama is the CAT lol

however this drama is UNNECESSARILY LONG. 40 eps? Bruh, they could've at least shorten it up a bit, esp the conflict with Zhou Ran. It's to DRAGGY...

Mi-Gu is the worst best friend anyone could get, and Xia Chu forgave her?
Zhou Ran is also such a dramatic, annoying villain.

I was expecting the villain character would be more like villain, but him? He was just annoying af.

The drama was overall good, although the fl and ml is hardly seen in the last parts of the drama cuz the last parts was given to the side characters, I can understand because the episodes are in 40s which is not normal for other dramas that I watched. I was focusing on the relationship of the fl and ml but they focused the last parts of the drama to the side characters which Im dissapointed at. Most of the Chinese novels and dramas I watched are really like this drama, but Im not as dissapointed as the drama I wactched before this, the drama is still good. I wish this would get part 2 for the fl and ml because thier ending is not that good to me, but to those who wants to watch this drama, watch it, I recommend to watch the drama yourself to really give your own judgement not because the others dropped it doesnt mean its really that bad but anyways go watch it!

Action, doctors and romances from the fridge

The author probably has no experience with romantic relationships. Is she a desperate wallflower, knows love experiences only from novels and movies? No feeling. Nowhere.

When the main couple's relationship should pick up steam, FL starts giving the boyfriend and viewers emotional cold showers. She gives lectures that are supposed to make her feelings clear, but sound like instruction manuals for vacuum cleaners. Only when she talks to ML about her ex, her time with him, and her suffering of the breakup does she come across as more emotional.

ML, an excellent, attractive man, the kind you rarely find, is just a constant gardener of this silly plant that rarely gets her appreciation.
In real life, most men would give up and wish FL luck in her expected new relationship disaster with the old hoodlum.

FL gets praised often and a lot. All the Mary Sue moments are annoying, unfortunately you have to endure that with almost all female authors.

Jonny Huang is great, while Li Quin has to portray an emotionally impaired person. She plays an emotionally cold person perfectly, although that probably wasn't intended. Never have I seen such a cold relationship portrayed. Too bad. LiQuin is a great actress and very sweet. Why do they do this to her?
At one point the script forces her to say, "If women had any sense, all men would be single forever." ...and men in hydrochloric acid are a solved problem, hahaha. Emancene bullshit!

Other forists have presented other actors, there is some misery. Well, despite annoying impairments, the series was sometimes entertaining.
However: I prefer to keep silent about developments towards the end of the story. There are some things that simply can't be depicted. However, we understood the good-human intention and thank you for the fish.

Last not least: I would urgently recommend the author to change her profession. Not only romances are not her thing

Started out strong.....

My Dear Guardian started out strong for me. I felt like they were starting off with high energy and you really got a feel for the characters.

I wouldn't compare this to You Are My Hero, even though one is a military person and the other one is a doctor, these two dramas have completely different storylines (but if you like that troupe, it's there).

I really like Jonny Huang, I fell in love with him in Something Just Like This, he can convey pretty good chemistry with the actress he plays against. As for Li Qin, I thought she was fine in Joy Of Life (although her screen time was minimal) but she sure overacts in My Dear Guardian. I didn't notice it at first, until midway and then I was getting kind of annoyed.

The overall premise of the drama is good. You have two people who butt heads and it's a love/hate kind of troupe. BUT to stretch it out for 40 episodes, that's a bit much. It gets really repetitive with the fighting back and forth, but maybe you are into that?

I think if you are a fan of the actors, it's worth watching, but I was slightly disappointed.

I just wanted a Liang in my life

It's the second cdrama I've completed and I really liked this one too, there were parts that I found dragging but in the end I think it was worth it.
In the end, I didn't understand what happened to Xia's career. I was hoping it would at least show the marriage proposal, but it didn't.
I was deeply saddened by the end of Tian, I was very moved by Xue's story, I completely broke down at the end, when she said that he was still there in all things, when the heart accelerated when she was around (that was extremely touching).
I was lost for a few hours, without really understanding the story of the twins (which was which), I was so angry with Zhuo that there were moments when I wanted to abandon the drama, and speaking of anger, I hated Mi Gu, from beginning to end, she was so blind that it irritated me, I really didn't find true friendship on her part, how could she have supported that crazy stalker? Many things could have been avoided.

Probably the worst C-Drama I've ever watched so far

First thing first. The only reason I started to watched this was simply because Johnny plays the main role in the show. He’s acting skill doesn’t disappoint, he was just good but there’s a lot of things that I don’t find interesting and it was quite ruin the fun of watching. The story seems like a corny and boring version of the hit Korean drama, Descendants of the Sun. The doctor and soldier relationship is a good significant foundation of a solid romance drama but the actors portraying the roles is not being even close to be called as an actor with “average acting skill.” The main girl acting is not consistent; I like her as a doctor but when she took off her hospital gown and started to act like a normal woman outside her professional field, she’s too nosy who loves to scream a lot. The way she acts cute was really annoying to both my eyes and ears.

There’s no something new from the show, overused cliché scenes that I already seen from other dramas. It was really boring that I can’t help but to fast forward the whole episode and watch it in a 1.5 speed. I feel like the soldiers in the show are being too sexist and too full of themselves who was overconfident just because they are man. There’s a certain scene where the main lead told the young boy (who I found an annoying brat too) that crying is not for the boys. The hell is wrong with a man crying? I already told that Johnny was the reason I watched this but his role isn’t something that I really like, even a bit, it was just not my cup-of-tea vibes to a person in general.

The cat! HAHAHA the one talking cat lmao. Another factor why the show is a joke for me, it’s so ridiculous to make a talking cat exist to a non-fantasy drama.

NO CHEMISTRY FROM THE MAIN COUPLE!! Being a romantic show, of course the viewer need to feel the butterflies interpreted from the story. On the other hand, I feel nothing but annoyance. Her ex-boyfriend has more interesting story than the couple in combo, and not to mention that the man portrayal of the role is actually clever, the way he acts really fits the role he was given.

I am super eager to drop this show for a long time but my personal pride keeps winning. I already told myself that no matter how bad the drama is, once I started to watch the first episode, I don’t have any other choice but to finish it until the end. Funny right? HAHA but that’s just me being firm with my own words and promises in life.

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.
