Angel's Last Mission : Love

      I shouldn't have started using Netflix... I've been on a K-drama binge on my 50-inch 4K TV since... Before it was on my phone... So the graphic details weren't so great... Anyway, since my last post, I've watched 3 more K-dramas namely, Save Me, I'm Not A Robot and Angel's Last Mission: Love... Save Me starred Seo Ye Ji (of It's Okay To Not Be Okay) and revolved around a girl who was trapped in the clutch of a cult while her 4 friends tried to save her... I think Seo Ye Ji as Im Sang Mi was great... her desperation to save herself and her parents from the cult was courageous and admirable...And the 4 friends from school reminded me of Friend The Legend except that none of them ended up as gangsters...

     I loved I'm Not A Robot not so much for the cast but for the AI theme... But of course the humanoid turned out to be a human after all... And it was quite creepy to have your crazy scientist ex-bf to create a humanoid who looks like you and then when the humanoid couldn't function, he asked you to pretend to be that humanoid to be tested by another guy... And of course the guy fell in love with the humanoid and the girl fell for the guy too... But what I loved most were the gadgets in the drama... I wonder if the changeable skin umbrella and heart balls really exist somewhere in the world...

     I just finished watching Angel's Last Mission : Love... I already feel like re-watching it... A ballerina and an angel... Totally my kind of love story... And the OST has really great songs... I actually first heard Oh My Angel in my OT while it was playing on YouTube... saw the MV showing the female lead dancing ballet... Had been wondering which drama it was when it popped up in my Netflix recommendation... talk about providence huh? I love ballet... Wished I had been more persistent in learning and practising pointe... but I've always knew I wouldn't be doing ballet for life... My boobs decided that for me... There was a time in my life when I wished I was flat-chested... I mean, have you ever seen a busty prima ballerina? But it's ok... These days, I'm glad I'm busty...

     The ballet performance they were preparing for was Giselle... It was a beautiful and tragic love story... Just like that of the male lead and female lead... They met when they were younger... But circumstances parted them... And the young boy drowned and died... But apparently he became an angel... And somehow the angel ended up meeting the girl again when she was in depth of despair... He saved her again and again even before he remembered his human past and the girl he promised he would protect when he grew up...

     I cried a lot watching this drama... And thought a lot of God and His Will... Since this drama involved an angel who fell in love with his mission subject... Angel Dan was supposed to help ballerina Yeon Seo to find true love... and they ended up finding true love in each other... So Angel Dan didn't fail in his mission... But angels are forbidden to fall in love with humans... Which then begs the question, why did God send that angel to that woman? If they were not meant to be together... But i suppose it was better to have met for 100 days and truly loved one another than an eternity without ever meeting your true love... Of course, the ill-fated lovers ended up together in the drama... At least that was worth my tears shed for them...

     Incidentally, a friend texted me today to announce to me that my gas-lighter of an ex-bf got married today... She started the text with 'Wow XXX got married'... I asked her why the Wow... and she answered because he managed to find a partner... I'm actually glad that he did... And I hope he will be happy and he will love his wife as God has intended him to... But I'm left wondering if I'll ever find my true love...
