Maybe I’ve been spoiled by those HPL kisses but I felt absolutely nothing from the kiss in Angels Last Mission. No squee over here. Not even a tiny baby mini one

    Aww that’s to bad I guess I should be glad I haven’t watched HPL yet😁

      HPL is cute. I found the first ep offputing. I honestly dont know how I made it to the second ep. But, the chemistry is INSANE and other than some treading water towards the end (typical) it was a very enjoyable drama.

        I couldn’t, well haven’t finished the first episode. I’m sure I’d be on board if I got into it but some part of me has always resisted Park min-young, I have no idea why, but I’ve been waiting for Kim jae- wook to lead in a drama Forever, so I’m torn.
        and the Angels kiss was sweet to me I just loved how he immediately focused on her lips and just went for it with no pause. I imagine it’s a bit disappointing after watching Kim Jae wook getting all hot nbothered with PMY, but it is suiting me to a tee at the moment.

          I really just don’t think that they have romantic chemistry. I think they have great buddy chemistry.

            Huh. I’m all about the romance but maybe I’m projecting because I’m in love with that guys smile. Usually I couldn’t care less about dimples but…

            @katrina it seems like him alone in my opinion. Everyone else seems to be all in with the romance. I’m just not. I hope the romance doesn’t eat the get because I may drop it. I want to see her get better, find someone to trust, and live her life. Romance. Sigh. I guess.

            Well if your not feeling it. Your not. Goodness knows I’ve missed the boat on alot of fan favorites. Im geared for romance. A few months ago I was all about the killers or supernatural elements and you couldn’t swing a stick without hitting a judge or prosecutor, so now a love line between an Angel and a ballerina is fine with me. Heh how many dramas centered on the arts will be coming our way – oh ! Forgot HPL-Artists😁

    Whaaaat really?! The kiss itself was pfft but the fact he unexpectedly went for it after the accidental one made me scream out loud

    I’m surprised I wasn’t disappointed at how juvenile it was given HPL had such *fans self* good ones.

      I wouldnt expect good ones from these two. He’s an angel and she seems way emotionally stunted. They seem like dead fish until the bitter end kissers to me. I dont think that they have romantic chemistry could be the issue. They kissed and I was all….whelp. That happened. And also, while I empathize with her–I dont particularly like her. I was reading the recap and her smile was mentioned and I thought to myself, “Where? When did she smile? That is not a smile. Thats the lack of a scowl.” So I find myself not really understanding what it is that Dan is supposed to be seeing in her. Shes beautiful and all but I dont even see physical attraction being a motivator with how she’s carrying herself after the accident.

        I don’t like her very much either but I bow to the actress. She’s doing a fantastic job at transforming an otherwise truly despicable archetype into a somewhat human individual, with her face often twisting with immediate regret at her rash actions.

        that said, I agree with @dopedramacongratz: it wasn’t the kiss itself that was great, but rather that our bumbling angel swooped right in for some more – that was unexpected and adorable.

      I actually had more mixed feelings. I was still enjoying the great buddy chemistry, so I was a bit thrown off by the sudden escalation. I think they have the potential for great romantic chemistry, but I wanted it to be drawn out a bit more.

      I think the problem is that, while I felt this episode really started to build up the attraction from her side, I feel like they haven’t explored him transitioning from begrudgeing fondness to that just yet. I loved everything about her in the last scene, that mix of nervousness and confidence as she ‘rewarded’ him a kiss on the cheek. I even loved the accidental kiss it turned into. But I just could not get a sense for what he was feeling when he suddenly kissed her for real, so I couldn’t feel as giddy for some reason.

      But @greenfields made a good point and it would be interesting if he has a different understanding of a kiss and maybe that’s why it’s supposed to feel a bit sudden from him. Though, admittedly, since they’ve already gone there, I might prefer it was motivated by her kiss having an effect on him that even he doesn’t quite understand yet.

    Because it wasn’t a kiss. Remember how Dan kissed her in ep 1 as well? I don’t think he knows what a kiss signifies.

      Good point. I think I agree with you in that he doesn’t necessarily know what a kiss signifies. But the whole set up of the kiss seemed to indicate that this was supposed to be taken as a kiss. I’ll keep watching (of course). Maybe these two will grow onme.

          I’m sticking with Angel even if I dont see the sparks. Not everything needs sparks, I guess? Im looking forward to Perfume and WWW Search Query. I want to watch One Spring Day but Im waiting for it to end to hear whether or not it goes the way of Pretty Noona.
          What are you into these days?
          I look forward to the Coffee Prince Friday group watch and the ISWAK (we’re on Kiss Me now) group watch. I’ve also started rewatching I Hear Your Voice and am on ep 4.

            Im also planning to watch WWW Search Query, and along with Angel im watching Secret Life of My Secretary. Im tempted to try Arthdal C but have a niggling suspicion it would be a mistake someone mentioned Avatar (and not the awesome Avatar: Airbender cartoon) which I could never get into. One of my sons watched it several times and i fell asleep every time. lol now I want to watch Avatar: Airbender ha! I forgot Lee Jong suk is fullfilling his military duty.

            @katrina I’ve never seen Avatar. I was going to–a friend made me promise to go with her after she saw the commercial but one of the dudes from twilight was in it and that was such a crappy crappy movie she didn’t hold me to it!
