Angel's Last Mission: Love

This series is in turns romantic funny and magical. It's a different series that is worth watching. The ballet Giselle is quite nicely integrated into the story. And the supporting cast has some real ballet dancers. More authentic than the movie "Black Swan". In fact Ni Na is played by a pretty good dancer Kim Bo Mi. The casting is good. Lead actress Shin Hye Sun is slim enough to be convincing and can dance. She is expressive and convincing even though she doesn't have the prettiest face. The angel is played by Kim Myung Soo who has an angelic looking face. The wings are well done. Some faults: There is a drag in the last third about becoming human. It is quite satisfying when the horrid relatives get their just desserts. The very ending feels a bit cut off. Some more of them together at the end would have been more complete.

I was not expecting much from this series but I really enjoyed it. They say the lead actress is the best of her generation and after watching her in this and Mr Queen I can only think if one who approaches her level. The main lead was also very good as were the supporting cast.

A fantasy about an angel sent to earth with a mission to show a blind woman how to love. It sounds a bit soapy but was surprisingly suspenseful and emotional. You really were caught out by some plot twists. I have been watching kdrama since covid and this is certainly in the top 10, maybe the top 5 . It's subjective of course..what I like may not be to others tastes but in the genre of fantasy romance I would only rate My roommate is a gumiho above it. Excellent and the soundtrack is one if the best I have heard.

Oh my heart! This is one of the sweetest, most romantic Korean Drama's I have seen. The leads have unbelievable chemistry! I have seen a lot of Kdramas at this point and more often than not, the couples feel somewhat stiff and awkward, but these two felt so real as a couple it hurt my heart. The dance scenes are incredible; I read that Hye-Sun trained for 7 (yes 7!) months in ballet for this show, and it really paid off. Accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack, L is the absolute cutest male lead as the charming and naive Angel Dan. But truly it was Hye-Sun's performance that deserves a shout out, she was absolutely incredible in this. This is a wonderful, super sweet and romantic story that is so worth a watch. However I did knock a star off because I had a few big questions that were never answered...

Profoundly moving and beautifully crafted Korean drama that strikes a perfect balance between emotion, drama, heartbreak, and sweetness. This series takes viewers on an unforgettable journey filled with love, redemption, and the power of human connections.

The drama's portrayal of the main characters' emotional struggles is nothing short of captivating. The depth of their pain and the evolution of their emotions create a raw and authentic experience that resonates deeply with the audience.

This drama masterfully intertwines heartbreak and hope, crafting a narrative that elicits a rollercoaster of emotions. The bittersweet moments are perfectly complemented by heartwarming scenes that remind us of the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.

The chemistry between the lead actors is truly magical, infusing every interaction with a sense of longing and tenderness. Their journey from strangers to soulmates is portrayed with such sincerity that it's impossible not to be invested in their love story.

The drama's soundtrack, filled with soul-stirring melodies, enhances the emotional impact of the scenes, ensuring that every moment lingers in the heart of the viewer.

The series proves that storytelling at its finest can be emotionally charged, heartbreakingly beautiful, and incredibly sweet all at once. Its ability to evoke genuine tears of sadness and joy is a testament to its remarkable storytelling and exceptional performances. If you're searching for a drama that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you with a sense of hope and inspiration, this series is an absolute must-watch.

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.
