Fleet of Time (2019)

fleet of time

this thdrama was just so amazing, the characters were all so relatable and well written, i honestly loved the first part when they were still in highschool, their life was so much easier and the drama had such an lighthearted and chill vibe. I didn't like dislike the uni part but let's say there were a lot of details that didn't really make sense to me and some characters just annoyed me a lot, but well sometimes that's how life is. I anyways love the way this drama had an important impact on me. im still young and fear of growing up, i don't want to deal with "real life" problems, that's why i cried and related to the characters emotions a lot. the fleeting of time is something you can't stop, «with time people and things change» (-khing), that's why this drama made me realize even more the importance of youth, we should cherish every moments and live happily just like khing,yae,win,fang and chieaw did, they encountered lots of difficulties but when they were together they would always smile brightly and try to solve each others problems. I also loved the way the scenes were shot, it had such an aesthetic vibe. i really liked this drama and hope this review will make you watch it<3

Either the best thing ever or the most mediocre story ever. I can't decide.

This is either the best drama I have ever seen or one of the most mediocre, and I can't decide which. That's why I just split the difference between a ten or a five because I don't know if this was cautionary tale about the trials of picking the wrong person or a mediocre romance with disgusting elements thrown in.

The good: Yae, Khing, and Chiaw absolutely give me life and should be protected at all costs. They are all amazing characters and their acting was top notch.

The bad: The three named characters above have the least screen time in favor of the two actual leads Win and Fang. I hate both of these characters for different reasons, but I hate Win the most because he is the epitome of a bad choice in a good wrapping. He is cute, and at first glance, romantic, but he actually puts Fang in horrible positions and never really has a good reason for why he pursues her. He becomes noticeably horrible later in the series, but I hated him from the very beginning. Fang on the other hand is the epitome of innocence to a fault. She allows people to take advantage of her (and no I'm not talking about that DISGUSTING storyline thrown in at the end of the drama), never speaks up for herself, and is as interesting as watching paint dry. She has this most annoying habit of LONG pregnant pauses every time someone asks her a question, and it just made me frustrated the entire time she was on the screen.

If this drama is a cautionary tale, it was amazing because they seed from the beginning the cracks in the main leads' relationship.

If it is a mediocre romance, it was not very well done at all. Watch it for the three characters above, especially Yae. His storyline was amazing and honestly would have been a stronger drama on its own.
