Editor's Review
“Angel Flight: Kokusai Reikyu Sokanshi” is a unique and intriguing drama that delves into the lives of specialists who transport the deceased back home. The central focus revolves around the operations of the company Angel Hearse, run by Nami Izawa and Kashiwagi. Their mission is to ensure that the departed are repatriated with care and dignity.
The show beautifully portrays the delicate balance between love, loss, and grief. As the deceased are transported, the drama explores the emotional connections between them and their bereaved families. The airport mortuary setting adds an unusual twist, making “Angel Flight” stand out from typical dramas.
The characters are well-defined, and the performances by the cast are commendable. Yonekura Ryoko as Nami Izawa brings depth to her role, portraying the compassion and professionalism required for this unique job. Matsumoto Honoka as Takaki Rinko adds a layer of vulnerability, emphasizing the emotional toll of their work.
The pacing of the series keeps viewers engaged, although some episodes could benefit from further character development. The cinematography captures the solemnity of the airport mortuary, juxtaposing it with the bustling life outside. The hauntingly beautiful soundtrack complements the overall tone.
While “Angel Flight” is not without its quirks, such as the unconventional premise, it successfully humanizes a profession that often remains hidden from public view. The show prompts viewers to contemplate life, death, and the connections that endure beyond the physical realm.
In summary, “Angel Flight: Kokusai Reikyu Sokanshi” is a thought-provoking drama that invites us to consider the fragility of existence and the importance of compassion in our final moments. Whether you’re drawn to unconventional narratives or simply appreciate heartfelt storytelling, this series is worth watching.
Note: “Angel Flight: Kokusai Reikyu Sokanshi” is adapted from the novel “Angel Flight: Kokusai Reikyu Sokanshi” (エンジェルフライト 国際霊柩送還士) by Sasa Ryoko.
