Despite not being a fan of love dramas in general, 你是我的城市营垒 was simply special.

This drama tells the story of two lovers, who are both in highly specialized professions. A central theme of this story is responsibility, whereby it serves as the main 'antagonist' in their relationship and it feels very real (despite the odds of a doctor marrying a SWAT police). The execution of the medical and special forces scenes are really interesting and it helps to seamlessly weave the two protagonists arcs together (hooray for combined profession scenes).

(Side note: The responsibility and commitment Mika and Shao Yuhan showed as doctors, are truly inspirational)

I must confess that I was not that interested in Mika and Xing Kelei relationship at the start. But overtime, I grew to love their dynamic and the scenes these two share. Their struggle feels very real, and how they both grow to overcome their shortcomings together. The subplots of the supporting characters' love story are entertaining to watch as well. Importantly, this drama did not force many typical tropes and clichés (*cough* amnesia) and feels very refreshing as a story.

I will miss the days of listening to the ending music and really glad for my friend to recommended this drama. So for those who have yet to see this drama, it is definitely worth a watch!
