Synopsis
Lee Yeon-seo (Shin Hye-sun) is a talented and successful ballerina who can say anything that she wants with her family's Fantasia Ballet Company, but suffers a devastating accident while performing on stage that leaves her blind. She is bitter and abusive towards her staff, including her loyal secretary and butler, as well as her sly family. Dan (Kim Myung-soo) is an optimistic, carefree angel who is always getting into trouble. Wanting to return to heaven, he seems to be given the impossible mission of finding true love for Yeon-seo, but ends up falling for her himself.[3]

Notes
- In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[1]
- Due to some ratings not recorded, the exact average rating is unknown.
