Cuándo un ángel se enamora

Hye-Sun Shin is the main reason to watch this drama. She shines. She dazzles. She offers so much that you actually don't need any other reason.

When you start a drama about an angel you don't expect gritty realism. Instead you are ready and willing to surrender to a fantasy in anticipation of an entertainment reward for doing so. This series would have delivered that entertainment reward without Hye-Sun Shin. With her it delivers in spades.

I have seen Hye-Sun Shin before. She was fine. I cannot say why she is so much more than fine here. Perhaps the transition of her character from spoiled rich girl with a huge chip on her shoulder to someone with so much to give provides the bedrock for you to root for her. Somehow she was more beautiful than I had realised. More touching. More winning. More sympathetic. More everything.
