What to say the drama, is one of them with a intresting plot that you would enjoy to rewatch without getting bored, Since the drama is really short!

But at the same time the fact that the drama is so short is its loss.. Watching this drama you will notice that the story flow a bit to fast!
There are a lot of happenings but there isn't the time for the public to emphatize with them, since they are to fast!

But in any case i really enjoyed the story! It's a simple story of a clumsy angel that "wrongly" save an human.. That is a cute plot, not a master piece. But a story that a really large rage of people can enjoy!

I like the actors since they are handsome and they have good acting skills, the famale lead is particularly funny!

So give it a shot!

While I can tell from an objective standpoint that Secret Angel isn’t the highest quality production overall, it manages to be sufficiently endearingly charming and entertaining that I don’t mind any shortcomings it may have. The plot is pretty straightforward—it’s really just an innocent love story that develops between an angel and human while the angel does her best to protect the human from the machinations of a death god—and in this case, it works. It’s not a series I get heavily emotionally invested in when I watch it, but I always enjoy the ride.

The story is what draws me in every time, and the actors all played their roles convincingly enough. It’s interesting to watch the various characters cope with the situations thrown at them, from the more humorous moments like the first official and exceedingly awkward meeting between the human and angel after she’s charged with protecting him, to the more serious aspects like the death god being all too aware that slowly becoming human means gaining unwanted human emotions.

The music suits the drama pretty well, though there are only about two or three songs with lyrics throughout the whole show and those are mostly limited to the beginning and end of each episode. Even so, the opening song in particular is so cheerful and upbeat that I’m perfectly willing to keep it in my head for a few days.

As for the subject of the male lead’s voice getting dubbed into Korean, I can kinda see both sides of the issue. On the one hand (assuming the actor wasn’t proficient in Korean) it would be odd if only one character were speaking in another language and it wasn’t acknowledged by any of the other characters, and if it was acknowledged it would’ve almost certainly distracted from the story’s intended focus. And to be fair, I think whoever provided the dubbed voice did a solid job on conveying the appropriate emotions for the character in any given scene. On the other hand, it was kinda distracting to be able to tell the words I was hearing didn’t quite match the movement of the actor’s mouth, and I would’ve liked to be able to hear the actor’s own intonations and how he chose to deliver the lines.

So ultimately, would I recommend this drama to others? Absolutely! It’s sweet, charming, and has a touch of melancholy to it without ever getting too dark, and at only two and a half-ish hours total it can be completed in one sitting. I’ve rewatched it multiple times over the years and I’ll probably return to it again in the future.

Sweet but Short

So, this is a drama you might finish in just a day. It is one of the sweetest dramas I watched in a while. Though it falls in the same plot like most other fantasy dramas- an immortal falls in love with a mortal, love melting the heart of an evil, willing to die for each other; but I can assure you that it was a fun watch.

Being a miniseries has it's own advantages and disadvantages but this one was heavier at disadvantage side because the the story moves at light-speed. The angel fell from sky just an hour ago and they say it's been 3 months since they met? What sweet things happened during these 3 months, I badly wanted to see. And what exactly happened in the end? How did the angel and Death God become human?

Like the plot the actors and their acting was also sweet. Director gave his best shot staying within the plot and given time frame; can't blame him. Though, what I found off-ish was the cinematography and techniques used. This drama was released in 2012 and the latest technology at that time wasn't that bad. Maybe, the producers were tight on money. Being from India, I can tell that this technique was equivalent to those used in 90s Bollywood movies. The drama was is so dark that you will have to increase your brightness to full and you would still be rubbing your eyes.

But, as I said, the drama was sweet and not much predictable. Though it has its shortcomings, I would still recommend it.

The plot of this drama is quite good. I finished this drama in one day. The no. Of episodes are less and it is about of 15 min. But the story is amazing. The love story of main couple is really good.
In the last episode it makes me cry. It's interesting story. I also like the acting of cast especially Chen xiang . I love him. He is just too good. The music also relax you. It was a short drama but it's effect on me was too good because the acting and the reactions and the cast give their best.
我爱他们!!
