You Are My Hero Peak Points

Well Written Story

Many of you may have watched dramas where the female lead falls in love with a soldier. However, I am impressed how You Are My Hero maintained a balanced genre.

The chemistry of Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei radiates a mature relationship, and they went through the phases of being colleagues, friends, and lovers.

Their first encounter of Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei is not the cliche type wherein the female drops her books and the male lead suddenly falls in love with her. 

I can say that You are my Hero’s plot introduced the lead characters using the most unexpected way. When Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei first met, we can sense their passion for doing their jobs. This leads to the formation of an impression on what kind of relationship they would have.

Dedicated Hearts of Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei

You are my Hero portrays the loyalty of Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei to their duties. Mi-Ka strives hard to belong in their hospital’s neurosurgery department. She studies hard not just to excel in her profession but rather to help the people in need.

In the drama, when there was an earthquake, the team of Ke-Lei immediately went there to help save people. Mi-Ka also volunteered to give medications to the people who had injuries.

During this time, even though they wanted to talk, they are both busy doing their responsibilities, and the most beautiful part is that they understand each other’s job.

Ke-Lei also approved Mi-Ka to train abroad even though they got separated for two years. When Mi-Ka returned home, she wanted to surprise Ke-Lei but got into trouble.

Being a policeman, Ke-Lei once again saves Mi-Ka. Later on, Ke-Lei proposed to Mi-Ka in the training camp, where they met again.


You Are My Hero Series Musings

The most I love about You are my Hero is that it got many lessons, especially how to juggle career and private life. 

When asked, many people choose their career over love because honestly, some people can’t commit with the two. However, the story of Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei show beyond doubt that career and love can work in both ways.

Their support for each other strengthens their relationship along with their deep understanding. You Are My Hero also taught me that if two people want to make their relationship work, then they would make sacrifices.

I felt that it’s not easy to be in a relationship with a busy person, because it’s given that most of his time is consumed by his/her work. However, if the mindset of the person focuses on good things, then they can overcome it.

Mi-Ka and Ke-Lei have different jobs, but they have the same objective, and that is to save people. In the end, they continued their commitment to their duties as a policeman and a doctor. Happily, they also committed they would stay on each other’s side for a long time.

you are my hero

All in all, this drama teaches to not to be afraid to love and nurture a career because true love knows how to deeply understand.
