you gotta watch this one...
it will take not much of your time watching because this is just a mini series. other than the intriguing story you also have handsome cast.. how about that.
heartwarming stories of people and how this handsome angels manage to solve it. it might not have too much romantic scenes but the stories are good. you can rest assure that this guys can act. one thing is that it might get a bit draggy but it's fine.
nothing much to say but see for yourself. lessons and cute story with handsome actors. :)

Apparently, Soul Plate is a whole webdrama that works as a project to market South Korean food/culture, and KBS choose both Astro and Solbin as the main faces for it. It's a bold marketing strategy, I'll admit it - but it does lack in... a lot of other aspects. Knowing the series' main purpose does help though, it serves as an excuse.

The story feels far too complex for the project; the writers could've easily kept the main message of the drama - which, I suppose, is all about the importance of food in one's life- without having to make a mess of it by throwing magic and the supernatural into the mix - remember, sometimes less is best.

And, as much as I love Astro, the acting (in general) was a bit odd here and there ; even with the great camera quality, some effects made the drama look poorly/strangely edited (god, I couldn't bare the slow motion effects). The real random k-pop songs thrown in the episodes were a nice surprise, but made me feel like I was watching more of a fan edit than an actual drama. To be fair, I just think the drama was targeted for a younger audience, since I could easily picture my 13 old self fangirling over all the aspects I mentioned above.

I'll admit that I was Astro-baited to even begin the series in the first place though...

If you seriously got a lot of free time and have watched a lot of stuff, then sure, binge this, laugh a little, cringe a little . but also keep an eye for the heart warming message in each episode, it makes the experience more enjoyable.

delicious food with delicious visuals


●HOW I CAME TO IT
Am an Astro fan and might have missed this drama so am ticking this off my PTW list.

●STORY
The fantasy romance is about 6 handsome angels who run a restaurant named Soul plate. They provide solace with their food to the guests.

●PLOT VIEW
This web drama was most likely about healing and comforting people with the food. As the food which seems simple but is filled with memories and which eventually makes them reminisce the past and find peace. The dishes are deliberately formulated to the visitors past, so that they can reminisce and heal the hearts which was initially hurt.
Each episode consist with one visitor and their comfort in food filled with memories, also taking the romance between soopia and angel raviel alongside. It was unnecessary but it did provide lots of amazing visuals and complete closure.

●ACTING/CAST
Everyone was amazing. When all the Astro members are together they create a very happy vibe.
**Cha eun woo as Angel Raviel, is head chef and is good. His always picks up healthy food. He did act nicely being the main lead. But his cold expression is just bland and needs to be worked.
**Sol Bin As Soopia,the farm owner looked vibrant. Her expression need little work but overall she is good. Her style and getup as farm owner was perfect, it gave a of vibe confidence.
**Moon Bin As Angel Muriel is sous chef is very humorous. Yes he is doing most of the humor in the series and tries to befriend soopia. He also like a balance in the whole series.
**MJ As Angel Raoniel is desert chef is sweet. His love for food is overwhelming and gives a familiar touch to that packed canned food. It seemed familiar as my sibling also love packed food and doesn't cook much.
**Jin Jin As Angel Ariel is a hall manager. He is childish and looks cute. He need acting lessons though.
**Rocky As Angel Rumiel is Ingredient Manager. He loves music and always seen with a headphone around his neck. His visuals are delicious and I would love to see more in dramas.
**Yoon San Ha As Angel Mirel is counter manager. He id kdrama fanatic. He also got some skills but needs polishing

●MUSIC
TBH I didn’t like the music, as there were number of famous songs from various artists from many different series which made no sense. They served as just the background score. Only if the songs were of Astro, it would have been great and given ore impact to the series.

●REWATCH
I would actually rewatch it only for the recipe of the dishes.

●APPRECIATION
With the food the series gives a very stern lesson as to whatever problem we have in our life, with our partners, children or parents for once we can just talk and give a chance to dive in the problem, maybe find the pearl of solution
This series takes up the responsibility of introducing the delicacies of the South Korea to the world. The visuals of food and its cooking were excellent, felt as if am watching a cookery show.

●CRITICISM
Romantic scenes were cliché only if it had been choreographed more vividly it might have looked amazing, but if felt very cringy.
It was only 6 episode which should have been more.

●FAV SCENE
When soopia was telling about her ex. The reactions of all the members are so on spot, as we all know the story, it feels very funny and comical.

●QUOTES
Perhaps we don’t fall in love when we meet them, we meet them because we are already in love with them.

●RECOMMENDATION
Yes its a short drama so it doesn't take up much time.
It teaches life lessons with each of its stories. This show is a must watch for a quick relaxation.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
I would definitely try out some recipies from the shows. And would also make my favourite dishes, only to reminisce the past.
Well in our culture, when parents scold kids, they don’t apologize, they just ask the kids to have food, thats a sureshot apology in our culture, its like parents are taking care inspite of being angry.

Honest answer (partial spoiler ) IDK can't say

See the story is good . Basically about people in problems and how they heal and realize the importance of people who really care for them by eating the angel's cooked food .
The acting was ok but at some point of time it feels extra but acceptable becuz kpop fans are used to it by now lol XD .
I don't really pay attention to music so can't say .
It's a kind where you watch the drama , like it but then forget about it cuz the story isn't that gripping . worth watching .
at the end the main idea was to promote korean food overseas but honestly when you watch the drama without reading the reviews then you won't feel that it is only about promotion of korean food but also to make you realize the importance of people around you

Short, full of eye candy

I watched this on YouTube. It was a short show, and I was drawn to it because of Cha Eun Woo. Call me superficial, but I enjoy watching him. He doesn't have too much facial expression, but he is so cute I can forgive that. This show was one attractive person after another, with a cute premise; however, the acting is not very good at all. There was overacting, wooden expressions, slow reaction times, etc. I also felt that the ending was very abrupt and unsatisfying. It's my own fault, I went in just for eye candy, and that's about all I got.

...

Un concept que j’ai réellement trouvé vraiment intéressant, mais qui ne convenait pas à un mini drama. Trop de points inexplorés, en plus d’une fin assez confuse. Mais j’imagine que comme c’était surtout pour promouvoir la nourriture, ils ont réussi ce qu’ils voulaient. Je trouve seulement que c’est dommage, parce que je reste sur ma faim à propos de l’histoire elle-même. Malgré tout, les histoires des clients étaient intéressantes, voire émouvantes, et c’est toujours un plaisir de voir Astro !

ASTRO como anjos cozinheiros. Tem como não ser uma obra de arte?

Assim que eu li a sinopse já tive certeza que ia adorar. Sempre gostei muito dos dramas da Fantagio, inclusive gostaria que mais empresas fizessem web dramas assim pros seus grupos, eu seria uma pessoa mais feliz e alimentada.

O plot é incrívelmente único? Quem diria que uma garota que acabou de herdar a empresa de agricultura do avô chegaria a encontrar anjos caídos que trabalham num restaurante apenas por propósitos divinos? Claro que, como boa "série promocional", Soul Plate tem várias falhas, tanto no roteiro como na densidade da série, mas levando em conta que a função do drama é apenas ser um bishounen pra falar de comida coreana e exaltar os charmes do Astro, não tem muito que reclamar, se você não levar tão a sério.

Uma coisa que me deixou meio triste foi o protagonismo do Cha Eunwoo. Ele já tem uma carreira de ator estabelecida e, por mais que eu saiba que foi exatamente esse o motivo dele ser o par para a heroína, ainda queria poder ter visto um pouquinho mais dos outros membros. Mas não é como se eu estivesse reclamando da atuação dele, não mesmo, ChaEun é o principezinho da Fantagio e a gente sabe disso rs.

A trilha sonora! Eu me surpreendi demais quando começou a todar B1A4 já no primeiro episódio e todo o resto da seleção de músicas continuou sendo incrível. No início eu imaginei que eles colocariam músicas do Astro apenas, mas não me decepcionei nem um pouco por ter me enganado.

Apesar de tudo, eu não reassistiria o drama, por mais que tenha me divertido muito do início ao fim.
