Love is in the air with this week’s drama premieres as we gear up for summer.
Angel’s Last Mission: Love
Time slot: Wednesday & Thursday
Broadcaster: KBS
Genre: Fantasy, rom-com
Episode count: 32 episodes
Reasons to watch: L takes on the leading man mantle in this fantasy rom-com as an angel with a mission: find true love for prima ballerina Shin Hye-sun. If he manages to play cupid successfully, he’ll be able to return to heaven and leave earth. What sounds like a straightforward task may be a mission impossible for the wayward angel. A terrible accident has left Shin Hye-sun a prickly skeptic when it comes to love. L’s mission is further complicated when he finds himself falling in love with Shin Hye-sun. Lee Dong-gun will complete the main cast as a cold, sophisticated ballet company director. I love Shin Hye-sun and she’s wonderful at injecting humor and warmth into her roles. I’m expecting wacky shenanigans and touching emotional beats.
