Quite a letdown

I had high hopes for this since I love MLs that are "inhuman" or a supernatural being, but sadly it was kind of slow and unsatisfying. The ML was the high point: he was spunky and adorable and endearing, and I would’ve loved to see him in a better story. His angelic nature didn’t factor into the plot as much as I expected, as most of the time he was essentially a regular human guy - no wings, no powers or abilities - which defeats the whole point. (I disliked the trite secret backstory for the same reason; for me, it detracted from what made him unique.) My favorite parts were when he struggled with his divine nature versus what his heart wanted, as well as the rare occasions we got to see his beautiful wings in action! Everything else was difficult to care about: I loathed the 2ML, and the villains with their many board meetings were dull as ditchwater. As far as the FL, I could excuse some of her cold, hateful behavior due to trauma but it took her SO long to soften up or show any actual personality that I don’t know how the ML fell for her. The drama tried to portray them as epic star-crossed lovers but I wasn’t feeling it - they seemed to go from pleasant companions to "I'd die for you" in the blink of an eye. This drama could’ve been something special, which makes it all the more frustrating that it isn’t.
