Warden of the Sky (2017)

I like this part the best out of the series: the script, the cast, the music,etc. The script is nicely written, to me it's annoying when the drama enhaces twist/misperharp too much or portray the character personality too strong, this one is enough. For eg: in few eps (mostly in a few first ones), N'rek is sometimes too aggressive and hasty but it's understandable under the circumstances and it doesn't last too long/go overboard; for P'ek he is reticent controlling type of person but like N'ek it lasts for enough and ends nicely.
  Some ppl don't like Mick with Steph, but to me I just hella love them together I always see chemistry between those two especially in this drama, even just their eye contact or hug makes my heart drop a beat.

This drama was honestly amazing. The story was interesting, albeit a bit unrealistic. I found the male lead and female lead very cute together, and the way they faced trials together was heartwarming. I felt that the male lead's mother and the commanding officer were underdeveloped as characters, but they could have added much more to the lakorn. I actually watched this drama before all the others, but this one is the final in the series. Even if the drama ends up being unappealing to you, the last 40 minutes of the final episode are honestly the best. The camaraderie between the four friends are explored further as we get an idea of how close they really are.

That bod in that uniform is definitely something

Apart from that - without being stung with a figurative gun slowing your brain cells - this is difficult to watch without constant eye-rolling.

Way trashier than other Love Mission series, and that's something, LOL. Which means it's actually LESS boring, but... Like I've mentioned above. Do YOU prefer boring or stupid?:D

There is actually no comic relief in this other than the blatant ridiculous cast of them all (the soldiers, the scientists, the terrorist) which gives you the constant eye-roll, or maybe even laugh. Else, if you watch these lakorns seriously, be advised that this "story" contains death of a small child. Not every viewer can process this and then smile over a light conversation in the other scene few minutes later. Or see yet another heart-wrenching death(s) in the same episode? As this is about terrorist group, you cannot escape of some scenes of, well... terror. So, even if the cinematography IS at the level of the release year of Top Gun (LOL), be advised.

This is the last story, so it offers closure for all four.

First, stupidity culminates in closing the 'Yeut Fah Ha Pikat Rak' story. Then it's all about the camaraderie among the 4 soldiers (that's way better*:) They even promised to look after each other's girlfriends, should one of them end up a widow, she gets 3 brothers to watch over her... But you can guess if in their universe THAT really happens, LOL:)

*All them hunks onscreen together:)

Decided to write a review from the perspective of someone who didn't think this drama was the best.

STORY: It is a very romantic premise: hunky, beautiful leads are forced into marriage for the female lead's protection, they fall in love, she still cures cancer, etc. The story was entertaining. I liked how they portrayed the female lead as very intelligent in most cases. However, sometimes I still felt like her intelligence was just a plot device to please the progressives. She still had to be saved by the male lead in most situations, and her character is treated with this "women will be women" mentality that I find condescending.
Also, the curing cancer thing. Are the writers really that un-creative? Couldn't they have found a less obvious disease to cure? They could've developed a much more elaborate plot had they invented a cure for some other disease and had less "generalized" terrorists try to steal the cure.
I think what really got me was the portrayal of soldier life. If anyone thinks this is actually how soldiers live, they are being sadly misled. This lakorn portrayed a glamorized version of the life of soldiers; it really isn't all secret missions and hunky men and all that. I laughed out loud at how cheesy and contrived some of the "soldier life" portrayals were.
Also, the plane animation just looked stupid. Reminded me of Top Gun, actually XD

ACTING/CAST: Mik was great, not that it matters. He's such eye candy I'd watch him in anything.
Stephanie's not a bad actress, but I don't think she's incredibly good either. Her portrayal of Irene is simply average.
I fangirled really hard during the Weir scenes. I was so happy to see him XD

MUSIC: I like the main theme with all the hunky men singing, but everything else was kinda meh.

REWATCH VALUE: I probably won't rewatch this one any time soon. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

I understand why people liked this one so much, it just wasn't for me. If you enjoy romances between a hunky guy and a lovely lady and don't care about overdramatizations of events and glamorizing things that really aren't that glamorous, go for it. If not, look elsewhere.
