Surrounded by many sweet pet dramas, legionary teleplay's Breakthrough, My Dear Guardian starring Qin Li and Johnny, was launched on the iQiyi platform on June 1 day.
My Dear Guardian is an online drama with the theme of urban military love. From the production team, it is still very quality guaranteed. The producer is Ji Daoqing, a very famous military TV producer in the industry. His representative works include Wolf Warriors 2 and Black and White Forbidden Zone.
In China, he is a first-class producer of this kind of theme, and the screenwriter is You Xiaoying. Some time ago, the popular movie My Sister was produced by her, and the name of the play was "hit the nail on the head", which made people know at a glance that it was a love drama about "Iron Man's tenderness".
Qin Li and Huang Jingyu, two stars, both have their own flow. Before the broadcast, their fans and many original fans were already waiting to see it.
It is worth mentioning that the script of this play is adapted from a popular novel of Jinjiang literature, Twisting Fingers under Military Uniforms. The author is an origami ant, a novelist who grew up in a military compound and is very familiar with the details and atmosphere of military life. This novel "Twisting Fingers under Military Uniforms" is still on the recommended list of romantic novels in Jinjiang City.
In recent years, there are actually many domestic military TV dramas, but few of them can be sold. Recently, Bai Jingting's "You are My City Camp" became a hit, which made the video platform see the potential of this kind of theme, while overseas explosions of this kind include Song Hye Kyo Jing and Song Joong Ki's "Descendants of the Sun".
The settings of "doctor" and "special forces" in My Dear Guardian are also very similar to the former. Although it was adapted from a novel, it was regarded as a copy of Descendants of the Sun from the very beginning because of similar settings. Can we surpass this classic Korean drama with military theme? You also need answers from the audience.
Look at its popularity first. On the first day of broadcasting, it rushed to the top of the popularity of webcasting, exceeding the number of online dramas being broadcast, indicating that the momentum accumulated in the early stage is still very sufficient, and many fans watch it.
Under such a high heat, the audience's word of mouth has become polarized. Some people say "Dream Back to the Red Sea", "Watching eight episodes in one breath is not enough" and "The rhythm and picture are great, just like watching a movie".
Some directly play a star, speaking from actors' acting skills, scripts, pictures and other aspects. "It's fake, the plot is fake, and the performance is fake." "Don't insult special forces and doctors?"
There is such a huge gap in word of mouth, which shows that the advantages and disadvantages of this drama are obvious. As recognized netizens said, after all, Johnny has made many main melody works, and the popular Red Sea Action includes the TV series "Ice Breaking Action". And her looks and temperament are healthy enough, so she is close to her face when she plays a soldier, and Qin Li also has many out-of-line works. In Joy of Life and Your Highness the Wolf, her characters have a weak and strong temperament, and the audience is upup.
Shortcomings are also related to Johnny's acting skills and lines, just like the netizen who played a star said. At the same time, the drama currently broadcasts eight episodes, and there are also some problems of old-fashioned plot and chaotic logic. However, on the whole, it can fight its way out in a group of sweet pet dramas, and the first broadcast will rush to the top of the hit list, indicating that this drama can still be regarded as a relatively high-quality military and worth seeing. After all, such a theme is placed in the context of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Party, which not only caters to the trend of the idol drama market, but also plays the role of "promoting national themes" in the drama to a certain extent.
Let's look at the good parts of the play first. First, the texture and rhythm of the picture are compact. In the first episode, Johnny led the troops into the terrorist camp to rescue the hostages. At the beginning, the basic relationship of the characters was made clear in a few words, which also paved the way for the background of the story. And this drama is also more attentive. The whole picture shows that the gunfight and confrontation are very real and the shooting is also very real. Without the strange "idol drama" filter, the lens looks very textured.
Besides, there is a sense of cp between men and women. This drama mainly tells the story of special military officer Liang Muze played by Johnny and military doctor Liang Muze played by Qin Li. From the contradiction at the beginning, to the later resolution of contradictions and the common pursuit of ideals. At the same time, * * * has gained a sweet love story while fulfilling the duties and missions of soldiers and military doctors, so the main background of the story focuses on professional scenes, that is, battlefields and barracks. Therefore, it is very important for these two people to have a sense of cp after wearing uniforms and white coats respectively. Fortunately, Johnny also brought the image of a soldier in Operation Red Sea, commanding and spirited, while Qin Li was a pure little white flower. Both of them seem to be "one strong and one weak" and are highly valued.
The female military doctor played by Qin Li is also very likable. In the first episode, she showed the characteristics of courage, courage, calmness and carefulness. By identifying the tattoos on the hands of gangsters dressed in disguise, the gangsters are prevented from robbing patients.
In the gunfight that followed, Qin Li's performance was excellent. He was taken hostage by gangsters and forced to treat one of them. Although he is reluctant, he can only pretend to be calm. He slowly raised his bloody hands and stood up with tears in his eyes. He seems angry and sad. Qin Li's eyes are really in place. As a healer, his tearful eyes conveyed his sympathy for the dead.
Later, Johnny's troops appeared in time and finally took control of the situation after a fierce exchange of fire with terrorists. I thought there would be a traditional "hero saves the beauty". I didn't expect the screenwriter to play cards according to the routine. A special soldier was seriously injured because of Qin Li, which led to Johnny's anger at Qin Li. Plus, she treated a gangster, so after their quarrel, Johnny tied her directly behind the post.
Although this story is not in the novel, it also increases the audience's expectation for Johnny and Qin Li, and the barrage is also very lively. It can be seen that Johnny and Qin Li, the CP, are taking the route of "telling it to the judge", and the conflict between them is escalating. Although everyone knows that this is also a common routine in romantic dramas, fortunately, the male and female protagonists have a high degree of fit, and the characters are close to the face, so everyone can watch it.
When it comes to the drama, the first one is Johnny. Although showing muscles has become a highlight of this drama, many friends with common sense say that the special forces have tight muscles and tanned skin because of frequent field training. Although Johnny's muscles are beautiful, this swelling feeling can be seen at a glance from the gym, and his skin is not dark enough.
The second is Johnny's acting skills. Although he has played the image of a soldier many times, Johnny's feeling of "respect" is quite authentic, but he seems to be a little overwhelmed in idol dramas. Maybe his acting philosophy hasn't changed. Compared with Descendants of the Sun, Song Joong Ki is a gentleman, and he is always gentle in the face of the hostess, thus truly reflecting the "iron man's tenderness", which Johnny didn't handle well.
Furthermore, it is the problem of the old story. After all, many viewers were attracted by the theme of "military" at first, but it seems that both men and women have entered a "cohabitation" life after returning to China. Many people predict that it will develop in the direction of idol drama, but they are not sure that the plot in the middle and late period of the original work is more suitable for the battlefield, so as long as it fits the original work, there is no big problem.
In a word, My Dear Guardian is a work with obvious advantages and disadvantages. He loves to watch the theme of "military+love" and is not so particular about some details and professional issues. This is a good play worth seeing.
