Ashes of love
It has a great love triangle, to the drama has a place in my heart as close as 1000 miles of peach blossoms. Its really a good show if you’d like to give it a try.

Okay, others already stated it at Viki it is labeled NC-17, since I live in Germany I was curious, so I looked the movie up and it is labeled with FSK-16, so available to watch from age 16 with no further labels.
Personally I would say, if you have the age but do not feel you are up for a certain content of a movie stay away. If I skipped scenes with ff I would feel like I would censor a movie, but I am honest, when it gets too cruel to watch I will either stop it or close my eyes but will still listen and open my eyes again, when I think the harsh scenes are over. But being able to watch such scenes (sex or violence) depends greatly on one’s resilience, one can bear more and the next one less.
LOL Maybe Viki is mindful of the Brexit and GB has now a special position.
Is it really labeled R in GB?

That’s the reason why I added it’ss rated R (I didn’t know NC-17 is the same as rated R in USA).
I personally would not want anyone under 18 to watch this movie unless they are already married. I mean we are practically watching a porno movie. Besides, it has many violent scenes that can really shock some individuals.
Since I touched the subject I felt obligated to warn everyone in general bc it was the right thing to do. I have to admit; I skipped many parts myself, and I’m a middle age woman (bc they were too strong for me). Won’t mention here bc it will be a spoiler and is not fair to those who haven’t watch the movie yet.
But overall, IN MY OPINION; this was the most shocking, controversial, and in many ways very Romantic Love Triangle. I didn’t see it as s*x it was falling in love under tragic circumstances.

If you think of this as a p-movie already - well, I disagree on that just a few scenes do not actually make a p-movie at least not to me.
Okay, I looked it up - maybe I should have done this earlier - anyway, R-rated for me was until now - movies with, how did you write it s*x scenes, and major violence.
I am reading now that R-restricted movies can be viewed by of or under 17 year old with their parents/adults (well I wouldn’t have wanted that to be honest, but that is that - now …) That means we are talking about movies with adult topics and activities, rough speech, intense and/or persistent violence, sexual connoted nudity and drug abuse.
NC-17 means no one at or under 17 should watch it. So this one is actually the more grave label, as it is meant movies for adults not to mistake with so called “adult-movies”, we are not talking about movies, that are not able to be distributed in normal cinemas. I just learned that many cinemas belonging to the big chains in the US will not play NC-17 movies.
Let me ask if there is a scene, no romance in that scene a guy coming out of the bathroom just in the progress of putting on a t-shirt and nothing else, walking through the corridor … What would you think, which age label would such a movie get. By the way it was a light comedy with a bit of romance, family stuff.
Prepare yourself because this was rated FSK 0 in Germany, so pretty much anyone can watch it.
To watch or do not to watch a movie, of course you should obey the guidance but as I said before it is really much up to the individual and the background we are coming from. In my country nudity isn’t that big of problem, that doesn’t mean we are all running naked in the streets. But there is the sauna, where mixed is normal most of the time and yes, no bath towel to cover anything, but it’s your own decision to go or not.
And it is the same for movies, you need to take responsibility for your own mind and soul.
I just thought about people bringing their marriage license to watch a movie at the cinema, actually it’s not like in Asian dramas that your spouse is mentioned on your ID. 
I will give you another movie experience I had at the age 13 - Ghandi - one could say it is a great movie, with a great story to tell. There is a shooting massacre in it, that I remember until this day. FSK 12, so for viewers age above 12, our school was renting the cinema to watch this, okay one needed a signed paper by the parents but merely because it wasn’t in school but outside. I am still not good with violence in movies but well, most of the stories work with the topic.
So, well - at the end chose well.

If you watch some of these dramas(which are PG-13) on illegal sites, especially tvN dramas, they give a warning saying it should be viewed by ages 15+. Wish they would do that on Viki too…

You are married??? Then, you can watch it!!! hahahahaahaha
PS. We had posted a discussion about that a while back after I saw a movie that was full of sexual content and horrible violence (they would kill the people and feed it to hungry dogs to get rid of the evidence).
Nothing came out of it at that time, except now I see more NC-17 on certain dramas/movies which is a start.

Weirdly enough things like that would only get a PG-13 rating. NC-17 seems to be exclusively for sexual content.
On the other hand rape doesn’t always get NC-17, even though I suppose it would be more shocking to a minor.

Did you see a r*pe scene here at Rviki? Was it on [Fleet of time] by any chance?
PS. The word rape is blurred out in your post.
I use to see r*ape scenes when I worked in ‘‘Lakorn’’ drama years back, which disgusted me so much bc the female lead in the end, would fall in love with the rapist.
Coming back to the subject; they didn’t rated NC-17 (drama/movie) you saw? but they don’t want the word rape to show here; so they blurred it from your post? Some stuff that happens here are simply unbelievable! The scene can be seen by a 13 year old and gets rated PG-13 not NC-17 but a word gets hidden?

Ah, I blurred out the word just in case anyone might feel sensitive about it.
It was PG-13. I’ll tell you a little about it, but it’s a spoiler, so only read it if you don’t plan to watch Fleet Of Time.
The girl you’ve been watching for the past 70 episodes or so, from highschool, where she met her boyfriend and other close friends, to college, breaks up with her boyfriend because he has been developing feelings for a new girl.
They break up by phone and at that point she decides to drag herself to the party some classmate is giving in his house that night. Same guy already bought some sedative from some other guy in college, so as a viewer you see it all coming, yet till the very end you hope she escapes.
As soon as she calls the guy that she will join the party, he sends off the other guests, lying that his father got into hospital, so that he gets to be alone with the girl.
What follows are shots of what happens with the girl and her rapist, alternated with shots of her ex boyfriend, having his first sexual encounter with his new girl (btw, the raped girl was still a virgin), which makes it all the more heart-breaking.
The girl initially doesn’t tell anyone, but then, a few episodes later, she turns out to be pregnant. Her ex already had heard some rumours at college about the rape, so he steps up and says he’s the father, to protect her, which also means the end of his relationship with the new girl. But she doesn’t want to keep the baby.
Eventually she tells her parents, her mom comes over (she grew up with her dad, they are divorced) and they take her to a clinic.
After that she disappears out of the lives of her ex and the other friends for a long time, but eventually her ex finds her back again.

… watch what?
Click on the blur next to the word watch (the other blur is separate from the title, so you won’t see that immediately).

Wow, no wonder you sound so shocked with this drama. I’m guessing I knew by spoilers from viewers what the theme was about. For personal reasons; I can’t stand rape plot dramas/movies.
I was so glad when they removed those lakorn dramas with that theme back in 2013 maybe? I was so disgusted with the whole thing, and I know I will not watch ‘‘Fleet of Time.’’ for nothing in this world. But I would appreciate if you finish the ending for me, BUT if is a sad ending: I don’t want to know. I hate tragic, sad endings with all my heart…

The ending is not sad. Several sad things happen along the series, but in the end they all find some happiness again. One of the friends has been in prison, innocent, but in the end he marries the girl he’s always been in love with (also one of the friends). Some mysterious girl comes to the wedding as a photographer, and she gives the ex of the raped girl several clues about her where-abouts and sneakily finds out how he feels about her now, after which he travels to the place where he finds her back and they both still love each other.
Btw, I wonder if the Chinese movie with the same title has a similar scene … They’re both based on the same Chinese book. 
I still think overall it was a great series, but it should be labelled NC-17. Or maybe even come with a warning.

I love the ending, although the mysterious/photographer girl part showing up out of the blue, makes no sense to me; bc a total stranger does that? One of her relatives, best friends, should have done that. But Asian writers are so weird like that. It’s like they have no common sense bc in real life I know one of her friends, family member would have intervened in getting them together.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was curious about the drama and you let me have the closure I wanted to have from that drama. Although to some is a crime, I am so glad she didn’t had the baby. That would have destroyed her whole life without a doubt.

I think she met the photographer during the time she was away from everyone else. Her best friends were too close to her ex, so I guess she might have thought they might be biased somehow. And none of them knew where she was, so noone could interfere. But she still loved him, so she thought of a creative way to find out if he still had feelings for her, without taking too much risk.
Yes, I totally understood why she wouldn’t keep it. Although I also understand why some would choose otherwise … but in her case, it was better this way.
You’re welcome! 
A large part of it is indeed nice and cosy and enjoyable for teenagers. But just like in real life, things can suddenly change without mercy …
But at least in the end after everything they went through, they managed to find happiness again.
