Main character hiding a secret or living with secret identity

kouhai-san

Hello guys! I'm really new to this site so greetings to you all! ^^

I'm looking for a show where : 

- the main character is hiding a secret (preferably something big) or living with a secret identity

- the main character preferably has nice, kind, and cheerful personality

- the length of the show is preferably not too long (long show is fine too if it is really good and engaging, but since I'm really a beginner I'm afraid if I will have difficulty in catching up to it ^^)

I'm open with any genre :) Thank you in advance!

Nine: Nine Times Time Travel. The secret identity is such that not even the guy knows what he's doing.

Better watch "Healer" it's one of the best kdrama and it suits everything you need. Enjoy! :)
