If you love the romantic fantasy genre starring an idol who can act, then you’ll love ALML. I like MAB well enough but ALML has even better acting, production value, directing, music, writing and characters! It’s stunningly beautiful.

Both are romantic fantasies, however Angel’s Last Mission:Love is amazingly well done from production to acting to music and direction. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Abyss which greatly disappointed me with the unlikeable characters and bad writing whereas ALML has way surpassed my expectations. If you want to find something to watch that’ll make up for what Abyss lacked, ALML is the way to go.

Just when I think Shin Hye Sun can’t be in a better show than 30b17, she wonderfully proves me wrong. Though the characters are almost polar opposites, showing how talented SHS is, they are both orphans with a very compelling story and amazing musical talents. Your senses will be alive and happy to watch this show. I can’t say enough good things about ALML. 20 out 10 ratings (yes 20).
