If you think making a wish to an angel and having it come true is delightful, check out the series My Angel Loves Me, which turns that belief upside down. The angel sent turns out to be a bottom-tier angel who can't do anything right. This series blends comedy, chaos, and cute moments harmoniously. Though not perfect, it has plenty of charm.
Plot Summary (No Spoilers for the Ending)
Jen, a 24-year-old first-jobber who dreams of opening a shio pan shop, finds life not going her way. She tries using a merit-point app called Lucky Points to make three wishes: funding, a good rental building, and love. But she doesn't have enough points, and she accidentally mutters, "Can't I even ask for someone?" without realizing that sentence becomes a wish processed by the system. The next morning, Jen meets Si, a handsome angel who claims to be the "someone" she wished for. However, Si is a bottom-tier angel with no skills, causing Jen nothing but headaches. The series follows Si's attempts to prove himself and the gradual development of Jen and Si's relationship from annoyance to love.
Acting and Characters
Thitiya Jirapornsilp as Jen naturally conveys the emotions of a stubborn girl dealing with a troublesome angel. She makes the audience empathize with Jen's frustration and cuteness. Niwirin Limkangwalmongkol as Si, the handsome but clumsy angel, plays the role adorably, conveying innocence and full effort. Although some scenes may be a bit over the top, it fits the character. Supporting actors like Matira Tantiprasut (Kaewta) and Rathavit Kijworalak (Jin) add color and dimension, especially Kaewta as Jen's best friend who gives advice. Usha Seamkhum (Grandma) and Chayanit Chansangavej (Claire) also perform well in their roles.
Direction, Visuals, and Music
The overall direction flows smoothly, using camera angles that effectively convey the chaos of the angel-human dynamic. The visuals are vibrant, reflecting the atmosphere of the younger generation. The background music has a lively rhythm, complementing the comedy and romance well. However, some action scenes have slight editing hiccups, and some angel effects look a bit rough. Overall, the production quality is decent for this genre.
Editorial Analysis
The editorial team views My Angel Loves Me as a series with an interesting concept. The blend of comedy, sci-fi whimsy, and romantic comedy works to some extent, but the weakness lies in the sometimes drawn-out pacing and script that lacks sharpness, causing the fun to lag at times. Nevertheless, the series conveys a message about perseverance and self-worth with finesse. Although its TMDB score isn't high, for those who enjoy lighthearted, easy-watching content, it's passable.
Verdict
For those looking for a relaxing series to watch without overthinking, <strong>My Angel Loves Me</strong> is an interesting choice. With the cuteness of the lead actors and a smile-inducing script, despite some flaws in pacing, it's still enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of romantic comedies with a novel plot.
