Fann Wong portrays an ambititous gymnastics coach who often reflects on the achievements of her youth.[3] However, she struggles with declining physical strength and a growing lack of self-confidence. To escape her mundane routine and job, she immerses herself in Korean dramas and daydreams about being a princess awaiting a prince's attention. Darren Lim portrays her traditional husband. Hayley Woo acts as their energetic daughter, while Damien Teo acts as their 11-year-old. Teo finds a cell phone that came from the sky. A magical alien is on the phone's app and he befriends it. They work to assist their family with various challenges, and along the way generate many comedic moments.[1]

Reception

[edit]

Hong Menyan of Lianhe Zaobao said the series was his favourite of StarHub dramas that the Media Development Authority had commissioned. He wrote, "My Secret App is actually shot like a children's play, suitable for the whole family to watch together. It brings out very simple truths through a very simple plot, but the dialogue is interesting, and the alien's appearance is cute, not embarrassing." He noted that there were four primary characters, whom he all praised. He said both Darren Lim and Hayley Woo are "just right". Hong said Fann Wong "rarely plays an unappealing character, which is funny and adds points". He called the acting of Damien Teo, a child, "impeccable". Referring to Teo's interactions with the fictional alien, Hong wrote, "At such a young age, he portrayed various expressions and inner dramas while facing empty space, making it a performance full of appeal."[4]
