The Asian Angel (Japanese: アジアの天使, Hepburn: Ajia no Tenshi) is a 2021 film written and directed by Yuya Ishii and starring Sosuke Ikematsu and Choi Hee-seo.

The film was shot exclusively in South Korea with Japanese and Korean actors, with the narrative crafted around the idea of overcoming cultural barriers to begin new chapters in life.

[2][3] Tsuyoshi, a single father and struggling novelist, ends up on the road with his brother and other drifters; as they navigate their differences and their futures, the group ultimately finds modes of deep connection despite cultural and language conflicts.

They eventually meet Seol, a Korean singer whose music is not selling and whose boss is pressuring her into an unwanted relationship.

A subtle romance begins to bud between Tsuyoshi and Seol, complicated somewhat by cultural and communication barriers and effects from the past.
