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.

Decent drama
Pretty excited about this drama. Always love this kind of dislike to fall in love kind of story.I think this is a decent drama. Is not like very good if you want watch just for the actor and actress is fine but if you want to compared it with other drama and this maybe abit waste of time.
I quite like the ML and FML, however the start of their relationship feel awkward and abit force into it. I don't know when they fall for each other. Though the guy did say that when i fall asleep beside you at the sofa i knew you belong with me something like that, i think thats when the guy fall for her but for the FML is abit blur when it happen. To me is kinda of like the ML take care of the FML then fall for him don't actually have a very strong reason of why they fall for each other. And the start when the FML say like "pew, forget whatever happen" is kinda of weird and funny especially she is like a doctor. As the relationship slowly grow it feel less forceful and i love how the FML first rejected the ML and being honest about her feelings for him. This is very real, in life you will think if this relationship can work and not a lot people have this courage to speak out their mind and being honest with their feelings. This is something that i think is nice to see in the drama as a lot of drama is the guy confess the girl will accept not much thinking in the process and good to educate people to have courage and be honest about your feelings and thinking.
As for MiGu this, she isn't stupid she knows that Zhou Ran is doing bad things is just that she love him so she don't tell anyone which is very stupid especially he is harming her friend shouldn't she protect her friend? It makes me feel like she is a very selfish person.
40 episodes is kinda of abit long for this drama feel abit draggy. The Tian Yong part really make me feel a bit too blood as how he was being beaten up.
At the end of the day this drama kind of make me understand communication is so important not saying in relationship. When MiGu found out things about Zhou Ran she kept it all to herself if she talk to Xia Chu about it less people being harm. I mean i understand this is to make the drama more full and nicer to watch.
Overall i think this drama is not that bad but recommend to someone who wants this watch this kind of doctor-soldier drama i won't recommended this drama.

Female Lead a Letdown
I started watching this because I have seen a few of the FL’s dramas and have enjoyed all them. Unfortunately, she was such a letdown in this drama. She overacted, acting over the top, and her portrayal of the character was so very childish, not childlike but childish. I wonder what she was thinking when she got the script and interpreted the character.Thank goodness, the ML saved the day for me. I have to admit, I’m quite bias because Johnny Huang is one of my favourite actor. I think he carried the role of a professional soldier very well, very different from the role he played in Love Designer.
The other 2 arcs that I enjoyed and why I continued watching was Dr Zhang’s and Cheng Meng Zhen’s arc and Shao Xue’s and Tian Yong’s arc.
Shao Xue was very annoying in the beginning of the story but as the story progress and her character develops, I grew fond of her. I find her ending poignant and sweet.
A watchable drama overall.

quite disappointed in the storyline
●FIRST IMPRESSIONI was looking forward to this drama since it was announced but after completing am disappointed.
Military Medical, WOW. just by hearing this feels like would see amazing action and flawless medical cases. Initial episodes were fine building a good base for the drama. But then it went downhill.
●PLOT VIEW
It had a great scope but the poor writing and 40episode felt like I wasn’t enjoying but wishing it to end sooner. The story jumps between military and medical, as someone gets hurt gets treated in a hospital whereas medics go to military camps for health checkups of soldiers. The soldiers trained in special forces help outside the border but then being helps in a case of drug dealing for local police. Why make ML a special force soldier, it could have served the purpose with a good police officer role too. Am not degrading that they shouldn't work with local police but they should have got more chances to show their ability in the role of a military officer. Military drills were amazing, but since they were in special forces how could they have missed out on morse code. They should have written it better.
all the characters were going round and round and in the last two episodes, they rushed to catch the evil guys wow.
The writers made a character with an identity crisis and who should get all the hate, but they turn him miserable and psychotic. He was a master manipulator, stalker, drug dealer but caught up in his wickedness. He was a complex character badly written and badly acted. the dark-web plot could have been better, seems to be taken from "The Blue Whale Challenge" which had incited many suicides and stirred concern in many countries.
Leads went from cohabitation to fake relationships to real relationships having mature conversations and understanding each other priorities and passion. Parents and their never-ending worries were meh because we all know at the end they all will agree.
FL outshines every time in the medical zone. But then all the other doctors were written pathetically. they gave up on patients and before doing the treatment for no appropriate treatment available, let the guardians make the decisions. They were only there as a supporting cast making the FL look good.
The relationship between teacher and single mother was one of the heartwarming side stories. Although less screen time it stays in mind.
●ACTING/CAST
Johnny Huang as Liang Mu Ze was eye-pleasing in his military uniform. His muscle build body and sweaty forehead holding the guns tightly and moving like cats were breathtaking. He was the only reason for me to finish the drama. He had more actions than expressions on his part so the sad scenes were just in bits giving few tears.
Li Qin was Xia Chu, tbh she was good with the energy, running around to help the patients. Choosing to fight and do my best every time but her expressions were not impressive to me.
Yang Su as Migu, one of the dumbest person in the drama. How the hell she was a media person when she can't read between the line. Or say the blazing zhou ren aura blinded her in the first love case. Her storyline was maintaining the drama but the acting was meh.
Jiang Yuan as Liang Shao Xue was loud and crazy but she was impressive. Her sadness and craziness were balanced.
●MUSIC
Ost was good, thanks to translators for the translation of the lyrics it feels more meaningful and hearty.
●REWATCH
NO, the stories were in parts with no connection to each other. If I didn’t binge this I would have forgotten what happened earlier.
●APPRECIATION
In the latter half, many times leads were having the conversation of the importance and passion of uniform. Giving the message of patriotism and dedication towards works and duty whether you wearing a white coat or a green uniform.
●CRITICISM
There was less romance of leads.
bad storyline
●FAV SCENE
Parrot OK meets Shao Xue with wicked laughter.
First kiss of the leads
●QUOTES
Sometimes we couldn’t help reminiscing about those guys in white shirts who played basketball on the courts. however, it's just nostalgia. Life goes on no matter what- Xia Chu
Rather than being a smart ostrich, it is better to be a brave fool- Liang Mu Ze
Just because this man wears a police uniform, I had believed that he was invincible, who knew he would get exhausted too - Liang Shao Xue
●AFTERTHOUGHT
This drama showed military uniforms, medical uniforms, and police uniforms. All working passionately for the country and society making it a better and safe place to live. We should appreciate and thank them for their hard work who leave behind their family and loved ones to be in their UNIFORM
