Dan, Hanaui Sarang

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.

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. :)

Oh my heart! This is one of the sweetest, most romantic Korean Drama's I have seen. The leads have unbelievable chemistry! I have seen a lot of Kdramas at this point and more often than not, the couples feel somewhat stiff and awkward, but these two felt so real as a couple it hurt my heart. The dance scenes are incredible; I read that Hye-Sun trained for 7 (yes 7!) months in ballet for this show, and it really paid off. Accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack, L is the absolute cutest male lead as the charming and naive Angel Dan. But truly it was Hye-Sun's performance that deserves a shout out, she was absolutely incredible in this. This is a wonderful, super sweet and romantic story that is so worth a watch. However I did knock a star off because I had a few big questions that were never answered...

An angel is given the mission to help a blind ballerina who is angry with the world find love, the problems begin when he develops feelings for her. The two stars in this are truly excellent and there are many touching moments, also the ballet scenes are extremely well done. A great series with twists and turns that make you wonder if love and happiness will ever be achieved.

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.
