The Sound of Magic: Is it Real or Imaginary?
It's been a long time not watching a Korean drama with a musical genre and The Sound of Magic is a fresh thirst quencher. With magical spices and original songs, The Sound of Magic can be an alternative for watching this weekend.
Podcast drama! detikcom reviews this Netflix original Korean drama. The Sound of Magic review can be heard on Spotify:

The Sound of Magic was previously known as a project called Annarasumanara. Based on a webtoon that tells the story of a mysterious magician named Ri-Eul. His appearance in this story is followed by strange occurrences and spooky rumors circulating about an abandoned playground.

Ri-Eul (Ji Chang Wook) is said to be very handsome, but dangerous. Anyone who enters the playground may not get out safely. In another part of the story, we are faced with the case of the disappearance of a high school student which makes everyone suspect Ri-Eul.

At the same time, there is Ah-Yi (Choi Sung Eun), a high school student who is smart but needs money. He used to be a rich man, but his mother ran away and his father was destitute, leaving him in debt so he had to be a guardian for his younger brother who was still in middle school. Ah-Yi also has to struggle to support the two of them, pay rent for a house, buy food, pay for school, and everything that adults should do. Living a tough life like this makes Ah-Yi forget what it's like to have fun and enjoy being a teenager.

When he needs help, Ri-Eul suddenly appears and displays something magical in front of Ah-Yi's eyes. In a cornered position, Ah-Yi was confused by what she saw. He wanted to not believe it, but the events in front of his eyes were not like a fantasy to him.

Ah-Yi's close relationship with Ri-Eul gives rise to another rumor at school. The rumor also reaches the ears of Na Il-Deung (Hwang In Yeop), the smartest student in school. In the midst of his quest to maintain the number one position in high school, Na Il-Deung is threatened by Ah-Yi's intelligence and secretly growing feelings for her classmate. Il-Deung is then introduced by Ah-Yi to Ri-Eul and ends in an existence crisis from the class champion.

The Sound of Magic presents a generic story that we see a lot in Korean dramas, but with original songs and fun music. In the midst of suffering faced by all the main characters, this Korean drama invites the audience not to stop imagining and keep fantasizing wildly. Only those who believe in magic can feel the fun throughout its 6 episodes.

Are you one of those people who believe in magic?
