The story is about Xia Chu, a surgeon, and Liang Muze, a special military officer. They both can’t stand each other but start developing feelings when they live under one roof and fake date. But things can’t be that easy, they start complicating when Xia Chu’s past lovers come back.
They both have to face some life and death situations together. But even after their best efforts, will they end up together?
The Feel-Good Part
The storyline is good. It holds a lot of potential and the directors can try a lot of things with it. the fake dating trope is just a chef’s kiss, the two main leads needed that badly and the directors did a great job at that.
The first half of the show is very amazing. It is straight-up hilarious when they live in the same house and can’t bear each other for a second.
The male lead is a gentleman and you can watch the drama just for him. He is the one who kept the drama afloat. Throughout the show, he is the only one with some brain and logic.
The Disappointing Factor
Despite having a good storyline, the execution was not up to the mark. The plot just goes haywire after some point.
Another reason for the drama to be a disappointment is that 40 episodes are way too much. to make a drama go up to 40 episodes mean adding a few very unnecessary kinds of stuff and even adding some unnecessary episodes. This made the drama draggy. Things that should be over in 2 episodes took 5. This just made the whole show very slow-paced and long.
In-Depth Analysis
My Dear Guardian gives a lot of vibes like the 2016 Korean drama “Descendants of the sun”. like a lot. All that surgeon and special force officer and much other stuff. The only difference is that Descendants of the sun was much better. this drama is just unnecessarily draggy and has a lot of unwanted things. The first half is very good. excellent. fantastic. Funny. But the next half just goes down and it just feels too much to watch. There are many annoying characters also to add up to the mess this drama already was.
Star Power
The star cast is amazing. The male lead is outstanding but the female lead is annoying at many points and many irritating side characters got a lot f screen time without any reason
Overall Opinion
The drama is not that good but is it a complete waste of time? Yes and no. the first half is very good but the next half, let’s not talk about it.
