Recently Finished – #YouAreMyHero

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Beanies, I have finished yet another great show. I am so sad to say goodbye to the amazing Captain Swoony and Dr. Mi! 😭😭😭😭😭 When I first heard #YouAreMyHero was coming out, I thought it would be just one of the many modern romcom cdramas I would check episode 1 out and get over with but lo and behold! The show grabbed my heart and squeezed it sooo tightly, it gave me so much hearts, smiles, and squeesss.

#YouAreMyHero is about Captain Xing Ke Lei and Doctor Mi Ka. Two awesome people meet and fall in love. It’s your typical romcom but I really enjoyed watching their love story progressed and grew overtime – how they met, how they started crushing on each other, how they started dating, how they juggled between work and dating. I really like that the story focused not only on their romance but also their lives outside romance. They are two very busy people trying to find time to date.

This drama is 40 episode long and I dreaded so much how I was loving each and every episode, it was gonna go stupid on me and make Captain and Mi Ka do dumb things like angsty break up. BUT! No angst between OTP! Like! How is that possible! But it did happen! Thank you, show! You had some stupid unnecessary plots, I admit, but you continued to make OTP strong amidst those unnecessary plots!

I tell you, Captain and Mi Ka have one of the healthiest relationships I have ever seen in dramas. Such OTP goals. They are so strong together. They’re legit together through thick and thin and against all odds. You just watch these two people fall in love and talk about their problems. I am so glad this show proved that we didn’t need angsty break up to produce a great drama.

I have no words left. I will miss you Captain Xing and Doctor Mi! I know I will have a hard time finding another great OTP like you again but I wish this will open up more doors to seeing dramas with healthy OTP relationships. Writer-nims, it is possible yknow!

    This OTP! One of my favs!!! This proves you can have an awesome drama without making the OTP go through stupid angst.

    Also, Mi Ka and Captain are so amazing. He is a badass Special Forces Police but he was so nurturing and caring and kind and so cute and awkward and shy with Mi Ka. He wasn’t that obnoxious macho man who has to show how manly he is to the FL. He showed his vulnerable and awkward side to Mi Ka without reservation. And Mi Ka was always so steady and resolute and professional but also cute and sweet. She didn’t let her love life get in the way of her profession and her dreams. She was badass for totally different reasons. Together they made such an awesome and powerful couple. Also, they actually talk things out and discuss and tell the other when they are upset with something the other did and are willing to admit their faults and grow. Ugh this drama so good 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

      😭😭😭😭 Yes. Captain has a great commanding presence but that’s just one of his many personalities! He’s got a high EQ as well. He has got no ego. He can say sorry when he makes mistakes and can share his vulnerability when he has inner struggles.

      I love seeing Mi Ka’s growth. From this girl who was terrified with life and death situation, after experiencing this many times, she grew to be calm and collected whenever situations arise.

      Such powerful couple indeed. Uri Super OTP🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

        LIN YI is how, but I guess not so much anymore with how everyone is reacting to his character

          He isn’t as bad as y’all think. A bit arrogant in the beginning & childish in eps 13-16, but still pretty much expected given his character & situation in life. Elite gamer BJ & first timer in romance.

          Okay fine I’m only spazzing cz of his smirk okay.

            Oh, I’m not questioning Lin Yi’s acting skills, I’m just not drawn to Noona romances and not drawn to this drama in general lol

    4 episodes left for me but they are so healthy that they are ulmost unbelivable. I would totally appreciate more angst free, understanding, cute and equally goofy OTP like them. This show overall doesn’t do wonders for me, in terms of the story around the professions and the other pairs but this OTP was a rare, delightful gem.

      I am not a big fan of 2nd OTP. Wenbo is dum dum af (I FF their scenes, but I am enjoying 3rd OTP a lot. Dr Shao and Jiejie’s find your way back to love story is cute and I wish the story focused on them more instead of 2nd OTP! I am so glad of Dr Shao’s character. I was worried he would be a love triangle to the OTP but nope, he just genuinely likes Mi Ka because he sees so much potential in her and that he’s got his own romance.

    Like everyone I love that they communicate honestly and don’t have stupid misunderstandings. So many times dramas just go the silent assumption->escalation of angst and drag and drag the relationship, but not this OTP. I love the couple’s dynamic – our ML Captain is such a softie – but sly (his coincidences!) – but clumsy – just so adorkable. Plus he cooks and cleans and this already puts him way ahead of so many drama MLs. FL Mi Ka is a charming combination of cool and level-headed and warm and mischievous. They also are really admirable people on their own who are passionate about their careers. The actor and actress did a wonderful job – their acting so real and natural half of the time it feels like watching non-scripted behind-the-scenes. All in all I’m so glad we have this rom com for 2021 <3<3<3

      Gigi 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am really hoping, 2021 and all that we would get more of these kind of healthy and strong OTPs. They’ve total raised the bar of the kind of OTP I am looking for. :somanytears: :somanytears: :somanytears:

      And I totally agree! Sandra and Good are such great actors. Their chemistry are so natural. It totally erased my memory of Good in Irreplaceable Love which I detest and repelled. He can act indeed.

    Easily the best cdrama romcom I have watched ever, and it becomes my new gateway recommendation for this genre.

    My favourite aspect of the show was the title and how that played out – the use of the word “hero” can be misconstrued as referring only to the ML, but in fact, the show showed us over and over again of how both were “heroes” to each other, AND everyone else around them.

    I started this for Sandra, and with no expectations. I loved her in this role, but discovered loved Bai Jingting too. Their scenes together were like two best friends talking, they were so easygoing and normal and natural about everything, it was hard to think of it as acting.

    There were other pairings I really enjoyed watching – the friendship between Mi Ka and Xia, the OTP between Dr Shao and Keyao, the ducklings, the SML for the 2OTP (even though he was a jerk, he did a good job with his material). The action scenes were really well done for a drama, and almost cinematic in quality. I’d love to see this become the baseline for future dramas that use action.

    More than anything else, I really REALLY enjoyed watching this show will all of you!!! You increased my enjoyment exponentially, in ways that I cannot describe. I hope dramaworlds and dramagods give us more such opportunities to spazz together 💕 Thank you muchlots!!

      Very interesting point, Pickle! The title indeed is referencing who they are to each other. Their “hero”. And I did like that Captain mentioned how grateful he is that Mi Ka saves him not only once but twice and how humbled he is by this fact.


      :tears: :tears: :tears:

      Thank you for spazzing with us, Pickle! Show becomes 1000000000x more interesting because we group watch and laugh at the same time!!! Till next crack drama! :love: :cheer:

    Famy! Thank you for telling me to watch this! I have been totally obsessed over the last two weeks – a total happy pill of a drama. I love how Captain would go from intense SWAT officer to a total fumbling softie in front of Mi Ka. Just how incredibly caring and attentive he was towards her from the smallest, simple actions to big grand gestures was totally swoony. And Mi Ka! I love her! She is determined and knows how to face her fears. Her genuine attitude towards bettering herself as both a doctor and person is wonderful. And her ability to keep calm and challenge herself under pressure is so great. I’m going to be so sad when I finish these last couple of episodes I have left.

      Fini!!!! You’ve finished!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Sorry I just noticed my reply is almost a month late🙊🙊🙊 I just opened DB now. And yes Captain is such a chameleon. And I really love how he doesn’t see it as a weakness to be vulnerable in front of the woman he loves.

      By now I assume you’ve seen the last episode and I am just so so proud of Mi Ka’s growth. It came full circle. On ep 1, she was ugly sobbing being a hostage and blabbering in panic but she was soooo calm and collected in the last arc of You Are My Hero. She grew so much with all the life death experiences she had had.

      OTP def has one of the best healthy relationships ever. I wish to see more of this kind of OTPs in our dramas. Well theyre a rare gem of course! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

    I miss seeing your lengthy fangirl posts on DB, Fams. I haven’t watched the last two eps because I DON’T WANT IT TO END!!! I’m saving it for a special day so I can spend it happily. I love this drama so much too. I’m so happy I listened to you and to uri Discord Beanies. Thinking about this drama makes me smile. AYIEEE!
    Captain has my heart but I think I love Mika more!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

    I LOVED IT I NEED MORE!!!

    I didn’t even feel like eps 31-35 were meh, I felt like they were very important to show how multi faceted irl ships are. Many people fail in their relationships due to one person’s history with other people. Many people don’t recognise the sacrifice, patience & hardwork their partners put in to maintain a harmonious relationship among everyone. This was a much needed hurdle & our OTP passed with flying colours.

    Also where do you get dramas that accept & love a non stick thin body type & show how lovable that person is, not inspite of their body but because of it?

    No makeover, no big fuss. I forgive the school girl socks & shoes.

    Also Jie & Dr Shao were frigging awesome. Supportive mentor & family for the win!

      I just didn’t like how the sisters plot totally came out of no where. The arc of smuggler and son felt more in line with the drama because it’s about crime and what not. Anyways as you’ve mentioned even with the sisters plot, I liked how OTP’s relationship grew.

      Missing Tracy and Dr Shao as well! 😭😭😭😭
