Angels Fall Sometimes (2024)

I don't usually like to watch the dramas that i already know are going to be tearjerker as you can tell from the synopsis that it is a DISEASE based storyline. yes, you will cry a lot and maybe this is a spoiler that this drama will make you cry rivers.
but the storyline is a
kind of beautiful in a way that there were a lot of people supporting the male lead throughout his journey and didn't get tired of him . this is the story of love in all forms , love of the grandpa , love of parents , love of brother , love of friends and colleagues
this is my first time writing a review and i don't know how to write it .

and at the end i am not going to rewatch it because i don't want to cry again .
storyline is beautiful, friendship is beautiful
Acting is on point
and the female lead looks bubbly and cute that it was painful to see her cry
The point to ponder was that he was the lucky one with many supportive people in his life and not everyone is that lucky although it was quite unfortunate that such a young handsome tall , well settled in life (in regard of a promised career and a beautiful and caring love of his life , maybe bride to be) , talented person suffering from incurable disease . But people like him
exists and we should be grateful that we are blessed with health
HAPPY WATCHING AND HAVE SOME TISSUES IF YOU ARE SOFT HEARTED

Prepare yourself for the water tap and make sure you have tissues!

A story about life. This is not your ordinary drama, but touches more about Life and situations people will face. It is a very beautiful but sad drama with some cute adorable moments along with some humor. It is a beautiful story of watching two people getting to know each other, fall in love and work things out throughout life's challenges. Until the biggest challenge hits, a terminal illness. In this series, there are many life lessons and moments you can learn from. Many of the advises and scenarios are very valuable to learn. The series is also a rather tragic show, alot of waterworks - so make sure you prepare alot of tissues before watching.

Both the male lead and female lead are quite adorable together and I feel like they really did an extremely good job portraying their characters. The entire casts also did an extremely good job bringing this series to life. The songs paired to this series are also quite nice and I love them.

“until there’s no time left”

Angels Fall Sometimes is a slice of life story that unfolds to a tragic and more dramatic yet grounded story. One that I find to be really interesting and enlightening so far, without offending or overdramatizing the wrong elements. It shows a more mature side to ALS and doesn’t use it as a card to play in terms of feeling bad for someone. It’s just the inevitable for our ML.

I can tell it’s mature because of the visualizations it shows of how ALS feels, to be held back and restricted even though you were once fully capable of moving. To be imprisoned within a wheelchair and feel like you’re suffocated. Lin Yi brilliantly plays these scenes in the dark so well, and it’s moving and heartbreaking to watch him realize that he can’t move even though he knows how to.

The male lead in Li Tao, played by Lin Yi. Who is tall and very handsome, who has supportive and overbearing parents. And who feels like a failure to them because he didn’t pursue this path they have paved for him. Instead he pursues his own goals and leaves his brother in the dust to follow his parents.

The scenarios involving work are actually interesting. Both the leads are very relatable as they navigate their way from college to building their careers and own self sufficient lives. It’s refreshing to see a main lead earn something rather than it being given. Specifically Lin Tuo, is very hard working. As opposed to other mailed leads I’ve seen in dramas, nothing is given to him, and he genuinely works hard to get a stable job and it isn’t just a luck of the draw either. He is motivated and hard-working, and both of the leads are. They both aren’t without their flaws either.

Zhi Que is played by Landy Li, who I find so adorable and full of charm. Lin Yi plays Lin Tao and is the lead where the story revolves around him. I find it really endearing how his girlfriend Zhi Que is who is one of the most important people to him that he invited into his life by choice. As he comes from a family that doesn’t give him much freedom or choice. He even gets cut off and get humbled, but was never a brat that leached off his parents and was good for nothing. His only wrong to them is not pursuing the path they layed out for him. I genuinely admire this ML, and I find his relationship with the FL to be a breath of fresh air for him. A relief and choice he made for himself. To be with someone as carefree as her that doesn’t have her life planned, is opposite of him in a way with her living situation. Theyey both make eachother a better person, and it shows what comes from two good people being together.

There are no toxic or jealous feelings between the two, they don’t question their love and it goes easily. There isn’t a villain or a bad person here either. Everyone is fully developed and isn’t a caricature to fit into. That’s because the main hardship of this drama is watching Li Tao slowly lose control and develop ALS. It’s extremely heartbreaking even more when I think of how strong he is with his goals and aspirations, and he is one of those people that doesn’t need an adversity like this, he’s already a great person that doesn’t need a challenge to shape him.

The only over the top character is the FL best friend.. who is very embarrasing and needs to tone it down. I look past that because of the leads drive and Li Tao isn’t perfect either, yet he’s not a push over. He gets frustrated too and has bad days.

It’s interesting to see the Zhi Que’s father’s perspective on being paralyzed and is definitely foreshadowing. It’s what a lot of people think and unfortunately Li Tao is going to be one of those cases. It will be interesting to see them tie all these preconceptions together and the feeling changes. Feelings of frustration, guilt onto holding someone back, and acceptance. I’m interested to see how this story develops and am anticipating a melodramatic future for our couple.

Sadly, what turns me away from this to put it on the back burner is the lack of chemistry between the leads. Landy and Yi are wonderful actors, but together there is a spark lacking here. I’m interested in there other dramas… maybe it is just how they are.. or the material here. Queen of Tears had a plot with a lead facing death and the chemistry was heartwarming and so good. Here the FL doubts her boyfriend and her friend is too pushy for the pair. It just doesn’t click unfortunately . If this drama were about 10 episodes shorter it would be better, or perhaps if it were a movie. It would be easier for me to finish that way, since the material is just so heavy.

Sempre há vida

Iniciei este drama após ler a sinopse e achá-la bem interessante. Definitivamente me interessei pela intenção de se mostrar a realidade de um paciente com ELA, principalmente porque não conhecia tão bem a doença. Desde o início, sabia que seria um drama triste, mas estava preparada (ou pelo menos achei que estava).
Gostaria de destacar que não sou uma grande fã de dramas chineses. Assisti poucos e sempre fui do time que assistiu mais dramas coreanos do que chineses. Sempre achei os dramas chineses meio lentos e demorados. Isso aconteceu também com esse drama. No começo, não entendia o porque de toda aquela contextualização sobre a vida dos personagens. Achava que a trama mesmo estava lenta e que não chegava nunca ao seu ápice. A cada episódio que passava, me perguntava quando ele finalmente descobriria a sua doença e o drama realmente fosse começar. Porém, após assistir todo o drama depois de uma pausa, me arrependo de ter pensado assim. Vejo o quão importante foi a apresentação dos personagens e das suas vidas, suas conquistas pessoais e profissionais, o romance e o fato da doença ter começado a aparecer aos poucos. Isso, definitivamente, fez muita diferença na caracterização da própria ELA: uma doença silenciosa, que começa devagar. Mais importante ainda, foi ver o quanto o protagonista tinha seus sonhos, sua família, seus amigos, seu trabalho... Me fez realmente pensar que, o que aconteceu a ele, pode acontecer a qualquer um.
Creio que nunca chorei tanto por um drama como nesse. O último episódio foi realmente muito difícil pra mim, visto que chorava a cada cena. Mas apesar de triste, esse é um drama que emociona pela sua simplicidade e sua forma de levar, de certa forma, esperança. Ver não só o protagonista, mas os outros pacientes, seus familiares e amigos, suportarem todas as adversidades com esperança foi muito recomfortante. Principalmente quando falamos da FL. Sua força realmente me inspirou e emocionou.
Mas, o mais importante que posso dizer sobre esse drama é sobre a sua forma de nos dizer que, na vida, sempre há problemas, mas temos que lidar com eles da melhor forma possível. O protagonista teve diversos momentos difíceis, teve que lidar com o diagnóstico de uma doença terminal , com o medo de não ser aceito, o medo de incomodar aos outros, o medo de morrer e a depressão. Mas, apesar de tudo, ele conseguiu aproveitar bons momentos com todos os que o ajudaram.
Enfim, ao fim deste longo texto, o que tenho a dizer é que o drama é muito bom, com história e elenco maravilhosos e que o recomendo fortemente
