Definitivamente, amei cada segundo de cada episódio desse drama! Eu terminei de assistir, mas sinto que metade do meu coração ficou nele... Não existe outra explicação para o vazio que senti quando o último episódio terminou. A angustia que me acompanhou enquanto assistia foi tão grande que achei que iria ter um "treco" antes de acabar. Felizmente, o meu coração aguentou até o último segundo, e eu pude chegar aqui para dizer que não me arrependo de ter começado, pelo contrário, me arrependo por ter o feito esperar tanto tempo na minha lista.A personagem da Shin Hye Sun, Lee Yeon Seo, me deixou curiosa logo de princípio. Ela se mostrava arrogante e, às vezes, até um pouco cruel, mas então ao longo dos momentos percebi os motivos de seu temperamento emocional ser tão abalado, e claro, consegui entender porque ela era tão revoltada com a divindade. Graças à boa atuação da atriz, os sentimentos da sua personagem ficaram transparentes e foram possíveis de identificar. E também não posso esquecer-me de citar aquele anjo carismático e engraçado, o Kim Dan, interpretado pelo fofo Kim Myung Soo, que aparece para deixar a história ainda melhor.
O desenvolver do drama foi o motivo que não me fez abandonar, pois confesso que já previa o pior para eles antes mesmo de acabar. Fiquei curiosa sobre os acontecimentos, querendo ansiosamente que a Lee Yeon Seo descobrisse tudo, e principalmente, se o Kim Dan iria ajudar, mesmo que aquilo não fizesse parte da missão que foi determinado para ele. E como já era esperado, por sua personalidade atrapalhada, o anjo Dan perdeu todo o controle da missão. Apaixonou-se e ainda foi capaz de fazer a Yeon Seo se encantar por ele. Presenciar a relação impossível entre um anjo e uma humana foi, de fato, tormentoso. Esperei e esperei pelo o momento que a divindade tivesse compaixão por eles, afinal depois de ver toda a história dos dois, tanto antes de se conhecerem e durante o relacionamento, era o mínimo que eles mereciam.
O final, falando literalmente dos últimos minutos do episódio, teve o melhor plot twist. Já estava desacreditada que o casal cheio de química e tragicamente incompatíveis não ficariam juntos, mas o autor nos deu a devida paz para dormir sem que ficássemos remoendo o drama. E agradeço por isso, pois eu já estava pronta para chorar e resmungar por uma eternidade pelo fim que poderia ter tido.
Enfim, recomendo MUITO esse drama. Espero que ele seja capaz de aquecer o coração de todos assim como fez com o meu.

Prepare para chorar!
Serie que achei que seria apenas um comum para passar o tempo, achei ela bem sem querer.Mas me surpreendeu muito tipo muito mesmo, ver o ML refletindo sobre deus deveres e tentando escolher o que fazer, sabendo que se ficasse com ela poderia dar ruim pra ambos é uma reflexão praticamente pra se destruir mentalmente e espiritualmente, fiquei com dó desse ML ao ver ele sair correndo, mas a saudade e o amor fazia-o voltar chorei em alguns eps,
Mas no ultimo episódio foi uma cachoeira que coisa mais incrível.
✅Historia Muito boa!
✅Muitas Emoções diferentes!(raiva, ódio, tristeza, medo, alegria,) --> chorei que nem garotinho msm nossa '-'
✅Atuação foi perfeita. (não conhecia os atores, mas gostei deles)
✅Musica calma, não foi tão marcante, mas não é ruim!

Angel’s Last Mission: Love é aquele drama que te conquista em minutos, ele me prendeu no primeiro capitulo sem nenhuma dificuldade. Sabe a ultima vez que isso aconteceu comigo em um dorama? Foi quando eu assisti Goblin pela 1º vez e quem assistiu sabe, Goblin: the lonely and great god foi um dos melhores Doramas de todos os tempos com indicies altíssimos de audiência na Coreia. Vocês acham que novela mexicana faz drama? Kkkk então você não assistiu um bom K-drama em sua vida. Angel’s Last Mission apela pelo lado humano das pessoas, aquele sentimento de raiva, de amor, de medo, inveja que só quem vive sabe como é, bem diferente dos anjos que estão ali só como telespectadores (pelo menos deveriam kkkk). Por ser uma novela com tema religioso por se tratar de anjos e sua ligação direta com o criador, o tempo todo esses sentimentos são colocados em discussão. Humanos são vulcões de emoções e ideias, mudamos constantemente, somos falhos e erramos muito, uma pessoa que era “gentil e boazinha” se torna egoísta e invejosa, a egoísta e rude se transforma em uma pessoa compreensiva e gentil. O ser humano é assim, a gente muda tanto de objetivo, de interesses, e isso foi muito bem abordando durante toda trama.. Haaaaa, o amor... esse foi muito bem feito. Que casal meu povo... que casal!!
Pode até ser que esse k-drama não seja o melhor dorama do ano de 2019, mas que esses dois sem dúvidas entram para concorrência de melhor casal. A química entre eles era fortíssima, claro que um bom ator consegue fazer isso com facilidade, mas era possível ver paixão no olhar deles, dava para sentir a felicidade, as tristezas durante as cenas, atuações assim dão mais entusiasmo para quem assisti. Eu não duvidaria se o ship virasse um namoro na vida real em....
Lee YeonSeo sofreu mais que a Maria do Bairro, porém, e bem diferente desta, YeonSeo era uma protagonista forte, que não deixava as pessoas pisarem nela e por ter esse gênio ela se tornou egoísta, rude e até megera, mas isso não passava de uma “casca” porque a verdadeira YeonSeo sofria com tudo que estava acontecendo ao ponto de tentar se suicidar (outra coisa abordada durante a trama é o suicídio, infelizmente muito frequente na Coreia). Já o nosso anjo Kim Dan, é o posto da YeonSeo, ele é gentil, amável, sensível (um verdadeiro anjo), porém,muito “desobediente”, ele sempre se metia a onde não era chamado e isso lhe causava vários problemas, inclusive a missão de fazer com que a protagonista se apaixone só aconteceu porque ele fez uma coisa que não deveria ter feito (novamente se metendo onde não deveria) o grande problema do Dan era: Como fazer alguém que não ama ninguém amar outra pessoa?
“Ame o próximo como a ti mesmo” como você vai amar alguém, ser paciente, gentil se você não consegue fazer isso por si mesmo? Como transformar o egoísta em uma pessoa que ama ao ponto de se doar pelo outro? Porque isso é amor, é doação, é entrega.
Mas como o Dan tinha mania de fazer tudo errado, ele que se apaixonou pela YeonSeo e ela por ele, um relacionamento proibido desde que o mundo se tornou mundo.
Então surge a segunda etapa da novela onde o foco é “como eles vão ficar juntos?”. Entre esses diálogos fica eminente o questionamento se temos um destino previamente escrito, se é possível mudar as regras, fazer as coisas diferentes e é o que os protagonistas buscam. Uma coisa que eu não gostei foi eles o tempo inteiro brigando, questionando e até ameaçando o criador por causa do amor deles, porque Deus não dava uma resposta para os pedidos do casal etc, etc. Mas Dan entendeu no final (porque é sempre no final né gente) que tudo que ele passou teve um proposito, era como se fosse um teste para os dois, mas eles não enxergavam por causa das emoções, essas que nos cegam e nos deixam surdos sabe, sentimentos que nós humanos temos e dificilmente controlamos.
E mesmo depois de muitas lagrimas no último episódio, eles tiveram um final feliz (nos minutos finais do segundo tempo kkkk) um final lindo, que me fez derramar algumas várias lagrimas.

We’ve been blessed to get two amazing romantic comedies from Shin Hye Sun as the lead in a row. Hopefully many many more. Though her characters and circumstances could not be more different in ALML from 30 but 17, her amazing acting talent and skill at being able to touch your heart are the same. I didn’t think I could love a show more than 30 but 17, but I do with this show. They are 1a and 1b in my book.
If Lee Yeon Seo was played by a less talented likeable actress she could have easily been cartoonish and insufferable . Yet somehow Shin Hye Sun managed to make her a sympathetic bada**. It’s so rare to get such a strong KDrama female lead who says and does exactly what’s on her (and our) minds. Dan could have been a silly empty character yet Kim Myung Soo makes him hilarious and heroic. The main leads are amazing onscreen from their hilarious bickering to deeply touching moments. Some of their kisses in later episodes will make you blush and flutter your heart with their chemistry. My only complaints about this show are that there aren’t more episodes and the entire show can’t just be only the two of them on screen. I know the latter is unrealistic but that’s how much I love this OTP.
This show asks some touching and deep questions about God and why bad things happen to good people. The journeys the main characters take to find those answers will make you weep and touch your heart as well as tickle your funny bone. You will not regret investing your time and heart into this show.

Next I cannot express enough how much I loved the music for this drama as I felt it matched perfectly with it and find myself tearing up everytime I hear the song pray whenever a dramatic moment happens.
As for the acting of the two main roles I would say that Shin Hye Sun did an exceptional job at portraying her character and everytime in her dances whenever she would want to express her emotions. As for L I know some mentioned that they disliked his acting but as for me I though he was perfect for the role of a fun-loving and kindhearted angel and together they made a perfect couple with an unbreakable bond.
I’m not sure how others thought the ending was for them but as for me I am definitely not dissatisfied with the way that it ended as I liked them a lot together but I would of liked to see them be a classic tragic love story that makes you feel emotionally sad but warms your heart when you think of how tough their love was.

Pleasant, but not impressive
PROS:- strong start
- adorable leads, great chemistry & emotion
- beautiful music
- Shin Hye-Sun's outfits and appearance
- ballet scenes
- acting overall
CONS:
- weak second half (except for last two eps)
- flat (two-dimensional) side characters
- predictable ending
- nonprogressive storyline
- too many back and forth scenes
It was an okay drama, I liked it mainly for the leads' chemistry and especially Shin Hye-Sun's screen presence. L as Dan was surprisingly cute. However, somewhere around the second half I felt like the story wasn't really moving forward. The focus had shifted from the female lead's path and ballet to...yeah, well that's the question. The ending was nice, but couldn't compensate for the lacking second half.

I'm going to try and keep this review short and with only minor spoilers (so beware). Also, I suppose I should mention this is my first review ever.....O.O...Now I'm suddenly a tiny bit nervous. Anyway!....Story:
From the very first episode, this drama had a special "air" about it. Usually, I don't find drama storylines to be unpredictable, but this one was a whirlwind of unpredictability! It was great! - However, I agree with the people who say the story went a little flat in the second half of the show; some parts felt like they fell off the good writing cliff, unfortunately. Also, there were some elements of the story that just didn't "click" for me, they didn't really make any sense and the progress of the storyline came to a halt. That was disappointing but not unforgivable.
Characters:
I liked all the characters and really felt for them. But I do have one bone to pick. I think the villains should have been given better, stronger motives than what was written. Ru Na, in particular, could have been an excellent villain if she had been given a better motive than just "I love my sister". I thought they were going to give her a different route than what she ended up taking. It made her appear one dimensional which was a shame.
Acting:
No complaints! I'm one of those viewers that doesn't understand the hate L got for his acting; I think he portrayed Dan really well!
Music:
BEAUTIFUL! This is one of the best soundtracks I've heard since Goblin.
Overall:
This drama turned out to be a lot more gorgeous than what I originally expected. It has a tragically beautiful feeling to it that will lure you in and keep you guessing. I highly recommend this drama if you haven't seen it yet!

A strong first half that dwindled into the biggest disappointment of this year
For something to 'disappoint' you, you must have had high expectations of it to begin with. And with the way this show started off, many would not have been unreasonable to see its vast potential and expect the show to live up to that potential throughout its duration.By episode 4, the writer had a rich plot and a set of decently shaded, fascinating characters that were just begging to have their stories told. What started off as a tale of a prickly girl learning to live again with the help of a happy-go-lucky boy-angel dissolved into a hapless mess about two star-crossed lovers being forced apart by a wholly unsympathetic diety whose intentions nobody in this drama understood (not even the writer it seems).
It’s just...GOOD GOD...it had so much going for it you know?!? One of the biggest mistakes this drama made was when it shifted the focus off the female lead’s journey, i.e. her return to ballet, her scheming relatives, her emotional growth, and instead onto the ill-constructed love story between her and the male lead.
Being a romance, a love connection between the two was imminent. But I just wished it had been executed and drawn out better. Not only did it seem to come completely out of left-field, but also Dan and Yeon Seo's relationship was never explored to the extent where it would be believable that they were truly as crazy about each other as depicted in the drama. When does companionship equal passionate love? All I saw was a budding friendship that suddenly turned into a love-or-die kind of affair, which was jarring at best.
Secondary characters had extremely promising trajectories, which were abandoned halfway through the drama in favour of blander plot elements. Ji Kang Woo, a director at Yeon Seo's ballet company was being set up as a noteworthy second lead, and had a fascinating backstory that could've been used to elevate the fantasy aspect to so much more. Furthermore, he had such an intriguing relationship with the second female lead, Geum Nina, that to not expand on it was a disservice to this entire production. Instead, whatever Nina and Ji Kang Woo had soon dissipated into screeching one-sided love declarations from the former, while the latter coldly brushed her off in favour of the forever-pristine main female lead.
All in all, the writer set up some grand goals for herself and failed to follow them through. The lacklustre ending more or less demonstrated this perfectly, as the main couple are reunited in the last five minutes with no explanation given whatsoever. It's almost disrespectful to the characters and the battle they fought to be with each other in the second half of the drama. What writer is shameless enough to build the entire drama around a singular conflict, only to resolve it with one of the most half-assed endings of all time? Other than the writer of About Time, THIS one.

Before critiquing some of the show’s more prominent flaws, it is important to clarify that the majority of the cast were brilliant in their performances. In particular, Shin Hye Sun ( who played our female lead, the cynical ballerina Lee Yeon Seo) has always been a versatile actresses within her performances ( The Legend Of The Blue Sea, Stranger and Mr. Queen), however, she truly seemed to capture the the emotions and depth of her character in nearly every scene. ( In addition to this, her months of training in ballet did help to add towards her genuine performance.) Likewise whilst fellow actress Gil Eun Hye’s character Geum Ru Na and Lee Dong Gun’s character Ji Kang Woo could equally be infuriating at times , Eun Hye and Dong Gun certainly gave talented performances onscreen.
Admittedly, Kim Myungsoo ( otherwise known by his stage name ‘’ L’’ for the K-Pop boyband INFINITE) has always had a fairly mixed-reputation as an actor by critics. Nevertheless, he seemed to be en par with his costar Hye Sun within his genuinely heartfelt, delivered performance as our kind-hearted angel Dan who gradually helps our female lead to be uplifted from her own pain and suffering.
However, this does naturally moves us onto the more critical issue of the storyline, cliches and characters. The storyline seems to initiate a fairly coherent plot ; the angel Dan is sent to earth as a human after disobeying initial orders, enters Lee Yeon Seo’s life as ”a human”, begins to become her pillar of support, naturally begins to fall in love with her as challenges are evidently raised.
Undeniably, Lee Yeon Seo was an intriguing female lead and character. Initially starting off the series as a ballerina who has fallen from grace after being blinded in an accident, Yeon Seo’s reasons for being often sardonic and austere around the associated individuals within her life were realistically more complicated than simply being one-dimensional. Refreshingly, this did not victimise Yeon Seo as being entirely ‘’ weak’’ or a ‘’ damsel in distress’’, with private revelations of Yeon Seo’s multi-layered feelings of guilt or remorse often after lashing out in earlier scenes . On the other hand, there is the evident plot point early on regarding Yeon Seo ( without spoilers).
Admittedly this is a fantasy series where logic isn’t always a necessity, however, considering the extent of this development for the character, it was oddly thrown-in without explanations. Despite this, Yeon Seo’s greatest development comes in the form of her romantic relationship with Dan as both someone to lean on as well as learn to open-up towards over the course of the series. Whilst undeniably pivotal to characterisation, it never truly made sense towards the entire bond between Yeon Seo and the second male lead Kang Woo in the same intimate way ( although admittedly always more platonic for Yeon Seo) as her relationship and growth with Dan. (Apart from a ‘’ challenge to the plot by adding in cliches’’.)
Before moving onto our main male lead, it is probably important on a side note to address the second leads Kang Woo and Ru Na. Whilst Kang Woo was given the primary purpose as the ‘’ obstacle’’ for Dan’s affections, his revealed backstory did help to break his initial mould with more complicated reasons for being intrigued with the female lead. Meanwhile Ru Na was a fairly unlikeable character in the beginning of the series by her initial enmity against Yeon Seo as a lead ballerina as well as later schemes against the female lead also. Whilst there was slight brought towards Ru Na as a character, her rushed ending alongside Kang Woo felt half-baked and incomplete.
Moving onto our main lead, Dan is a character who could have easily fallen down the trap of rarely breaking from the ‘’ nice male lead ’’ archetype. Thankfully just as viewers got insight into Yeon Seo’s complicated life, Dan was also given some insight behind his seemingly benign and benevolent traits as an angel .However, Dan’s biggest fault as a character came through the implausibilities surrounding his backstory at times, as well as his stunted character growth in parts. Nevertheless similar to Yeon Seo, Dan’s focal point as a character in the series was ensued by his relationship with the respected female lead by equivocally helping to nurture one another’s past wounds .
The ending of the series was undeniably bittersweet with fairly profound moral messages, yet it did feel slightly abridged in parts during the penultimate episode and finale. Overall, the drama was surprisingly heartfelt by most of the characters being able to break out of typical cliches, a surprisingly eclectic OST playlist as well as well-performed performances by the cast who helped to bring these characters to life onscreen. It was not a flawless drama with noticeable inconsistencies of storyline and cliches , but it was an oddly compelling fantasy romance story and definitely worth watching if you’re a fan of romance dramas.

Story:
The drama is definitely romcom, and the story is fantasy. For ALM:L, the fantasy components work well with the comedy but lacks synergy with the romance and drama as a whole. Even though the titular character is an angel and L is listed first on the cast list, Shin Hye Sun’s human character seems to be the more “main” character and is the catalyst for most of the emotional development of the characters.
I understand that dwelling more on the fantasy components makes it harder to write a coherent story, and this drama suffers from this as it shoehorns/retcons more and more fantasy elements throughout. So, we are left with fantasy which works well as a comedic relief (i.e. Dan’s social ineptitude with humans) but is used poorly as a plot device.
Similar things can be said for the antagonists of the drama. They are almost comically evil to the point where the characters themselves don’t quite understand why the antagonists behave that way. Like the overall story, the antagonists could have both been more logical and fleshed out.
The messy mix of these elements creates multiple visible flaws throughout the story, and viewers may need to think overtime to try to buy the romance that does develop between the main leads. The plot and antagonists more-or-less force the two characters together rather than the two characters finding/understanding one another.
Still, the main leads’ cute moments together highlights the childlike joy that they bring to each other and showcase their chemistry. Just don’t expect to find mature characters or romance. But there is some growth, especially given the extremely immature characters in the first couple of episodes. So on the other hand, don’t be completely turned off by the character in the beginning.
In conclusion, the story starts off with a promising premise and immature characters, but the show struggles to stay coherent through its fantasy setting and under-delivers in meaningful character development and believable romance. ALM:L tries to mix up the classic romcom formula with fantasy and melodrama, but instead leaves the cast struggling through a chaotic plot.
Acting/Cast:
I’ll mention that this is actually my first drama review and judging this aspect is my weakest area. A quick glance through MyDramaList shows that I focus mainly on romance/romcom dramas, so hopefully I can leave a fairly relatable review here.
Overall, I rate the acting better than the story. However, I do think the story enables the actors by 1) having relatively simple characters and 2) drawing a parallel on and off the ballet stage. The first point is more of a kudos to the cast on their portrayal of the characters. Especially, the antagonist characters lacked depth, but the actors & actresses dutifully conveyed intent with their actions and gave off the impression that there was more underlying their character, which may not always be the case unfortunately.
The second point really enables the acting theatrics in the drama. In another context, Shin Hye Sun could be critiqued for “over acting”. However, the foil between the “story within a story” gives the viewer a different perspective. Yeon Seo’s hysteria does not seem as hysterical in comparison to the ballet that parallels their story. Rather, her “over” acting really connects what is happening on and off the ballet stage. Unfortunately, L gave a weak performance in comparison, although one could attribute it to the weaker writing surrounding the angel. Overall, it is difficult to rate the acting any higher given the limitations of the writing.
Music:
I enjoyed the direction they went with the music because they did not try to sound like a “ballet” (or what I think of as classical music). It stuck to more modern trends, and I have no qualms with it, given my love for kballads. I also like it when a cast member contributes to the OST.
However, it felt like the show relied on the ballad OSTs to convey emotion through its weak writing, which was a disservice to the music. Given the artists that contributed and the quality of the OST, the drama once again under-delivered on using the music to its full potential.
Rewatch Value:
This drama is sufficiently sweet that it may warrant a rewatch on a slow day. However, there are definitely many dramas I would rewatch over this. If you want to see some really immature characters going through more character and romance development, I would recommend “30 but 17” (bonus shoutout for featuring the same Female Lead). Otherwise, it would be hard to rewatch knowing how the story under-delivers and falls apart as it comes to a close.

AMAZING DRAMA!!
Yes this drama may not be for everyone but it has so many good points that kept me watching till the end. For starters the story is a cross between melo and romcom, dealing with a Ballerina and an angel who fall in love but is love between an angel and a human possible? Well you'll have to watch to see. The biggest question till the last episode was, will these two have a happy ending because it feels so tragic. The acting was amazing, L has improved so much and Shin Hye Sun did great as always. The leads were well suited to their roles. The soundtrack fit the whole drama perfectly and all the songs were beautiful and made the scenes even more emotional. Make sure you prepare tissues because it did make me bawl a few times. Overall it was a beautiful drama and I highly recommend it!!!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
BTW it's so good see that how far actors like Shin Hye-sun has come. Starting from minor roles in School 2013 and Highschool King of Savvy to supporting role in Legend of the Blue and then lead roles now. She's a really Amazing Actress with all the hard work she does for every role like learning Ballet for this show. It's commendable. Love her and L.
