"Angel Eyes" tells the story of a tragic romance between Park Dong Joo and Yoon Soo Wan.
The two met as teenagers and instantly fell in love. Soo Wan is blind, so Dong Joo was her way of seeing the world. A terrible accident happens and Dong Joo's mother dies, but she wanted to help Soo Wan until the end, so they performed a cornea transplant, allowing Soo Wan to see again.
The two end up growing apart and meeting again years later. Dong Joo recognizes Soo Wan immediately, but ends up keeping his distance from her because Soo Wan already has a boyfriend, Ji Woon. Dong Joo tries to hide his feelings and his identity, but Soo Wan begins to see similarities in him with the boy from her past.
This romance is one of the best I've ever seen in a kdrama. The chemistry between Dong Joo and Soo Wan is simply tangible. The intensity of their love, their connection is wonderful. I feel sorry for Ji Woon, but there was no way I could root for him, not with Soo Wan's past with Dong Joo, they deserved to be together, to be happy together, after everything they had to overcome.
We have moments of happiness between the two, but of course the tragic truth had to come out. When Soo Wan discovers that her eyes are those of Dong Joo's mother and when she thinks that her father killed her on purpose to get those eyes, the guilt leaves Soo Wan desolate, to the point of losing her sight because she didn't want her that way. She only finally decides to move on and forget the past when she almost loses Dong Joo in an accident. Soo Wan realizes that she can't change what happened, but she can be happy and be grateful for the gift Dong Joo's mother gave her.
This drama is so beautiful, in every sense. The couple, the story, the soundtrack... I don't even have words to describe the incredible experience of watching this drama. It's unmissable.
