Hye-Sun Shin is the main reason to watch this drama. She shines. She dazzles. She offers so much that you actually don't need any other reason.

When you start a drama about an angel you don't expect gritty realism. Instead you are ready and willing to surrender to a fantasy in anticipation of an entertainment reward for doing so. This series would have delivered that entertainment reward without Hye-Sun Shin. With her it delivers in spades.

I have seen Hye-Sun Shin before. She was fine. I cannot say why she is so much more than fine here. Perhaps the transition of her character from spoiled rich girl with a huge chip on her shoulder to someone with so much to give provides the bedrock for you to root for her. Somehow she was more beautiful than I had realised. More touching. More winning. More sympathetic. More everything.

This series is in turns romantic funny and magical. It's a different series that is worth watching. The ballet Giselle is quite nicely integrated into the story. And the supporting cast has some real ballet dancers. More authentic than the movie "Black Swan". In fact Ni Na is played by a pretty good dancer Kim Bo Mi. The casting is good. Lead actress Shin Hye Sun is slim enough to be convincing and can dance. She is expressive and convincing even though she doesn't have the prettiest face. The angel is played by Kim Myung Soo who has an angelic looking face. The wings are well done. Some faults: There is a drag in the last third about becoming human. It is quite satisfying when the horrid relatives get their just desserts. The very ending feels a bit cut off. Some more of them together at the end would have been more complete.

Please get your paper towels ready because this drama is a roller coaster of emotions. The lead roles were so devoted to each other in their relationship and it blew me away.i was sobbing for the most part and no I do not regret the 16 hours I spend watching the drama.

Most of the romantic Korean drama is too much cringe we all know. But for their romantic moment and acting no one can beat romantic kdrama i think. And this drama is another example of it.

Sit back with your tissue paper. Lead actress of this drama is just awesome, her acting was on next level (honestly all korean actress are too much good at their acting). Though it was emotional love story Between them,still it was a best one in my opinion. I have no word to say about Their chemistry. So if you are too much romantic drama lover just go for it.

But they should give some more time with happy ending. Still they wrote this story with happy ending was good enough. I wish they could give at least 5-10 minute with happy ending moment.

I watched all 16 episodes in a row, in a single day, because I couldn't stop watching. I could barely sleep, eat or drink or think of anything else. Prepare a serious emotional reserve, though, because this story is absolutely heartbreaking. Seriously, it's really heartbreaking. It's drama hard-core level. You'll love it though. :)
