At the center of An Impossible Promise is the love story of Liam O’Connor (Lachlan Quarmby) and Cora McLeod (Katie Stevens). Their romance started way back in 19th-century Ireland, but now they’ve been reincarnated in the present day.
Only Liam remembers their past life, which is kind of tragic. The real kicker? Cora’s supposed soulmate isn’t Liam—it’s Finn Walsh (Evan Roderick), a lawyer in the D.A.’s office.
This sets up a love triangle that’s already messy, but then Magnus (Samer Salem) shows up to complicate things even more. It’s a lot for anyone to handle, honestly.
Liam’s stuck between his feelings for Cora and his weird, cosmic duty to push her toward Finn. The angels Agon (Amitai Marmorstein) and Samael (Keegan Connor Tracy) are basically his supervisors, which is as awkward as it sounds.
He’s got to help Cora solve a murder case, all while nudging her into Finn’s arms. You can feel the tension in every scene—it’s both sweet and kind of painful.
The supernatural stuff here isn’t just for show. Agon and Samael keep popping in, adding this whole divine chess game vibe.
They’re also watching Magnus, who might be working for Bael (Niall Matter), a seriously bad supernatural dude. Is Magnus a threat to Cora, or something else entirely? You’re left guessing.
Katie Stevens is great as Cora, flipping between her old-world self and her sharp, modern detective persona. She’s got real chemistry with Lachlan Quarmby, which makes their whole star-crossed thing hit harder.
Felicia Simone, playing Cora’s best friend Suzette, brings some much-needed humor. Suzette’s open-mindedness about the supernatural is honestly refreshing and makes the weirdness feel a bit more normal.
The emotional core is definitely the romance, but the murder mystery is a real hook. Cora and Liam’s case takes them into the world of biker gangs and illegal gambling.
It’s not just background noise—the case actually brings Cora and Finn closer, ramping up the triangle and the stakes. The investigation’s twists keep you guessing, and it’s surprisingly tense for a Hallmark movie.
Some folks have compared An Impossible Promise to a mashup of Pride & Prejudice, Ghost, and Defending Your Life—with a touch of Outlander thrown in. There’s a bit of that classic “will they, won’t they?” tension, but with supernatural flair.
The detective angle and workplace romance might remind you of Psych, which, honestly, is a fun comparison. It’s got layers, but none of them feel forced.
If Providence Falls: Part 1 worked for you, this sequel’s pretty much a no-brainer. There’s more backstory, more supernatural lore, and the characters just feel deeper this time around.
The romantic tension is high, and the performances are genuinely strong. It’s a standout in Hallmark’s lineup, no question.
Katie Stevens really brings Cora to life, making her both relatable and intriguing. Lachlan Quarmby’s take on Liam’s struggle is just as compelling—you can’t help but root for the guy, even when things look bleak.
It’s not perfect, but Providence Falls: An Impossible Promise is a little different from your typical Hallmark fare. The mix of romance, mystery, and the supernatural gives it a unique vibe.
If you’re looking for something that’s sweet but also a little offbeat, this one’s worth a shot. Grab some popcorn, settle in, and let yourself get pulled into this strange, enchanting world.
