This is actually a question for ME, in a way: choose between Guardian (镇魂) and Nirvana in Fire!

(I have seen the first, um, 5 episodes? 6? of NiF, and dropped it because I didn't have to run on the treadmill at the gym anymore but could go outside. But I'm thinking about doing some stationary biking this winter, along with running (outside), and so I should watch one of these shows while I do.)

UM. Erm. Oh dear! My choice is Guardian, because batshit scifi is my home, and Shen Wei is my id made flesh. For your purposes, Nirvana in Fire would perhaps require a bit too much attention – it's prestige drama and very intricately plotted. On the other hand, Guardian's subs' timing sucks hard at some points (eg the actual thing said lasts for 5 seconds, the subtitle for 0.5). So really, it depends on whether you want occasionally lol-worthy scifi or impeccably acted plotty historical drama as your watching. They're really quite different in character.
