a beautiful romance drama with medical and military/police theme!

You are my hero is a perfect blend of romance, medical and military police.
It is a must watch for those who dislike misunderstandings, love rivals and mean families. In You are my hero, there is none of that going on. You are my hero is a refreshingly mature drama, as main leads actually are understanding, caring and loyal.

THE STORY:
You are my hero revolves around Mi Ka. Mi Ka is a doctor who studies neurology and wants to become a good neurosurgeon. Mi Ka goes to buy a present for her parent's wedding anniversary, when suddenly there is a robbery in the jewelry store. There is a medical emergency and she bravely takes care of it even in the middle of the robbery. When SWAT team arrives, one of the robbers put a hand grenade on her hand, and she then meets SWAT Tiger assault team's Captain Xing Kelei. Xing Kelei saves her and takes the grenade from her hand in a safe place.

2 years later, Mi Ka's hospital wants their doctors to take an emergency course from SWAT team. Mi Ka leaves without permission because a very gifted doctor, Dr.Shao is in town, and she has a friend/patient that she wants to save. Mi Ka wants to ask Dr. Shao's opinion on things. When looking for a way to get to the hospital, Xing Kelei drives by and offers her a ride, and almost immediately recognizes Mi Ka. When she comes back to the base, Xing Kelei gives her a punishment to clean the toilets. Xing Kelei starts to have a crush on her almost immediately. Even though he is a hard instructor, he is a caring person.

Soon they are friends and show their mutual interest in each other. As a special policeman and doctor, they both are busy people yet have a lot of understanding towards each other. Xing Kelei as a special policeman has to drop everything in case of an emergency. As a doctor, Mi Ka is often helping with the emergency, when medical attention is needed.


SPOILER PART OF THE STORY, MY OPINION:
Mi Ka's and Xing Kelei's relationship is very mature as they understand each other. Mi Ka spends a lot of time in the hospital and in private she watches videos about surgeries. Xing Kelei can be days without contact due to the nature of his work as a special policeman on top of having to stay at the base for training. Mi Ka moves into his apartment (Mi Ka rented it without knowing it is Xing Kelei's apartment.) And as Xing Kelei's sister, Xing Keyao lives in the apartment opposite, Xing Kelei lives with his sister when he is not staying in the base, until eventually moving in with Mi Ka.
In my opinion, their relationship is very cute and mature, but it does get a bit boring in the middle. I think this drama was a little too long and could have been 10 episodes shorter. In this drama, there isn't really much going on. There are no real love rivals (there is one girl who is Xing Kelei's ex captain's daughter, but she only needs him for her medical fees. And even she gets taken care of very quickly, and she doesn't get the chance to create a misunderstanding between them.) There are a couple of times when Xing Kelei gets hurt and gets treatment from Mi Ka and her colleagues.

You are my hero spent too much time on side characters in my opinion. Mi Ka's best friend, Ruan Qing Xia ("Xia") develops a crush on Xing Kelei's team member, Shu Wenbo and starts to chase him. There is a quick love triangle between Shu Wenbo, Xia and Shu Wenbo's and Xing Kelei's friend, Lu Feng.
Other side couples are Dr. Shao and Xing Kelei's sister Xing Keyao and there is some time spent on two of Mi Ka's colleagues too.
It was a shame that in the end we saw Xia and Shu Wenbo getting married and 2 years later it's hinted that Xia is even pregnant, but our main couple is left with the "we are engaged, getting married.. soon." Xing Kelei and Mi Ka got engaged, but then Mi Ka got a chance to study abroad for 2 years and she went. Then we get a time skip 2 years later and Xing Kelei proposes to her again in the end. I felt like this was so unnecessary. In the end also Dr. Shao and Xing Keyao are engaged and are going to go to civil affairs bureau the next day to get their marriage certificates.. The ending just seemed very rushed, which seemed absurd because I think the drama was way too long, and many scenes were unnecessary and too long.

I suggest this drama to those who like medical/military/police theme and dislike love rivals and misunderstandings and want to watch something light and easy.
All in all, i'll give this drama a 9.

ACTING:

Ma Sichun as Mi Ka,
She was a good pick for this role but seemed to lack presence. Her acting got overshadowed by other actors, and she seemed tired and lacked energy. She did act well in her crying scenes and showed realistically the feeling of being scared.

Bai Jing Ting as Xing Kelei,
He was a great pick for this role. His acting naturally stood out the most from the cast, as a lot of time was spent on his missions. When Xing Kelei is sick and needs a surgery, Bai Jing Ting acted out the feelings of panic and frustration very well.
