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. 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. When does companionship equal passionate love? Being a romance, a love connection between the two was imminent. Dan could have been a silly empty character yet Kim Myung Soo makes him hilarious and heroic. But I just wished it had been executed and drawn out better.
Kim Dan is an optimistic, carefree angel who is always getting into trouble. Because of her distrust and arrogance, she is unable to love anyone. This review may contain spoilers 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. 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. 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.
She is the prima ballerina, but after an accident she has to give up her dream. Some of their kisses in later episodes will make you blush and flutter your heart with their chemistry. This show asks some touching and deep questions about God and why bad things happen to good people. 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. They are 1a and 1b in my book. .
In order to return to heaven, he is tasked with a mission to find true love for the talented but emotionally distant ballerina. It's almost disrespectful to the characters and the battle they fought to be with each other in the second half of the drama. 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. The main leads are amazing onscreen from their hilarious bickering to deeply touching moments. If Lee Yeon Seo was played by a less talented likeable actress she could have easily been cartoonish and insufferable. 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. 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? Lee Yeon Seo, is a cynical and arrogant ballerina.
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. 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. All in all, the writer set up some grand goals for herself and failed to follow them through. All I saw was a budding friendship that suddenly turned into a love-or-die kind of affair, which was jarring at best. You will not regret investing your time and heart into this show. . .
