Angel’s Last Mission
Annyeong ,
Angel’s Last Mission: Love is a fantasy romance about a trouble-making angel (L) that is given the mission of helping a blind heiress (Shin Hye Sun) find love after she lost her dream of being a ballerina so that he can return to heaven. The problem is he soon falls for her himself.
On to Angel’s Last Mission: Love! This fantasy romance had me intrigued early on with its premise of an angel helping a woman with an icy heart find love. Not to mention I really like both L and Shin Hye Sun.
Shin Hye Sun is Lee Yeon Seo. She was a talented ballerina who lost her eye sight after an accident. This has left her cold and temperamental. She also doesn’t trust anyone which is shown by the less than nice way she treats everyone around her, including her family.
L plays our troublesome angel Kim Dan. He tends to break heavenly rules to help others, but his heart is always in the right place. After he really messes up, he is tasked with a final mission of helping Yeon Seo find love. That starts as a challenge, but then things take an unexpected turn as he develops feelings for her.
Angel’s Last Mission: Love drew me in with its fantasy romance story. I’m always up for fantasy, and that element was heavily incorporated into the story. Then you throw in a nice melo romance, and I’m pretty much in. Plus, I liked the cast a lot.
I tend to really enjoy L and have liked his more intense performances in the past. He got to be quite a bit more fun and animated in this role, at least initially, which was a nice change. His faces were hilarious! But we do still get the intensity as the drama progresses. Dan goes through a lot a lot of heartache, and L really packed an emotional punch.
Dan and Yeon Seo’s love story is very touching as a whole. We’ve got the forbidden love aspect combined with some very raw emotions. Yeon Seo is very much in need of healing, and Dan helps to open up her heart. But Dan was also not ready for how much his love for her would encompass him.
In the end, Angel’s Last Mission: Love really won my heart. We’ve got interesting characters with rich back stories, a bit of mystery, and a forbidden romance. I loved the angsty and desperate love that Dan and Yeon Seo experienced and completely felt their joy and sorrow.
This is the kind of romance story I would like to see more often because it allowed me to be completely invested in the couple by focusing so strongly on them and their amazing love story.
