MASTERPIECE
I never got bored once while watching this movie.Despite being a musical (which I honestly sometimes hate bc the singing and dancing is unnecessary and out of nowhere), the music was introduced in parts that actually made sense!
The actors are top tier.
I read the manhwa years ago, and the way they brought this to life exceeded my expectations!!

When Ah yi said, "since when this world has become a place where even dreams have to meet a standard
😭 I am so glad I watched this because it made realize many things.
This drama comforted me in so many ways.
It will always be in my heart❤️
When Ah yi said, "since when this world has become a place where even dreams have meet a standard".
This really hit hard😞
😖The society which forces you to become mature and be an adult as soon as you hit 18....
I'm so proud of myself that I watched this drama. I relate many things in the drama, like parents choosing careers of their children without giving importance to their dream.
Although I don't have any dream I believe the road my parents paved for me would be a successful one..

A Total Gem!
I wasn’t interested when it came out but after two years I wanted to watch it because of my crush Hwang In Yeop and I’m very glad that I watched it. The lead actors nailed there acting and I have admiration for Ji Chang Wook after watching his acting here. They all did an amazing job. The story was very well written, deep, thought provoking, comforting, inspiring and relatable for me. I was clueless what’s going to happen in every episode but I was enjoying the ride and wasn’t disappointed. I don’t know if this drama has any prestigious award but it definitely deserves. I want to Thank all the cast and crew for making this amazing drama, Thank You Very Much!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
WHAT! A! SHOW!I read the manhwa but it was left incomplete. How can a 6 episode show make me cry?
This show portrays how students are pressured by parents to compete in the education area. How parents leave their kids to suffer alone. How a child grows from these circumstances. Coping, sufferening mentally and emotionally all were displayed.
And how magic (upto one how they view it) can save you from this evil hole.
JCW nailed the character. An OP actor. One of my favourites.
The FL was absolute. It felt like she was actually living in that situation in real life.
HIY is 30 amd looked like an 18 year-old school boy...?... Are you kidding? Well his role as a student was very similar to JCW's school character. But this was HIY' had an upper hand cause JCW came to rescue. No one did it for him. He chose that path for himself.
The OST's were out of the world. I have them saved in my Spotify playlist.
Damn! this drama. I am in love. I am crying

do you.. believe... IN ✨MAGIC✨ ?
it is the most beautiful coming-of-age show I have ever watched and I feel like it portrays that feeling of having to fit into societal norms out of fear of becoming a failure really well and oh god it was the most beautiful thibg ever i enjoyed every single part of it and the eye candy is amazing too Ji Chang Wook looking absolutely gorgeous and everything about this show is just truly amazing and really brings out the little bit of magic left in this worldread this review in parts, read it as you watch each episode because I will be probably screaming the exact same things y'all are so let's be happy together.
episode 1:
I just finished the first episode and I can safely say I fell in love with Ji Chang Wook all over again. how does this man do it?! i would never in my life believe this man was 35 when he shot this show because he is the most beautiful, adorkable person I have ever seen on television.
that said, the first episode was the most beautiful pilot episode I have seen in- possibly ever. i fell in love with the show just by that one episode. i swear it's been a very long time since I felt this interested in a show.
i started this show, obviously, because Ji Chang Wook and Hwang In Yeop eop were acting in it and I was so far not disappointed at all they are both there, they both look ✨ gorgeous ✨ and I am so wonderfully wonderfully impressed by the whole thing, the whole aesthetic of the show just leaves so much room for magic and wonder and- ohmygod look I'm rambling about just watching one episode, I'll update y'all on how it goes but I'm telling you now it looks amazing and you should definitely watch it without a doubt
episode 2:
can someone explain to me wtf just happened??? i mean i- Hwang In Yeop!! i was honestly really happy that Hwang In Yeop was in the cast, like when I first heard of the show i didn't know it was him but then when I started the show i found out it was MY DEARLY BELOVED SEOJUN who was acting in it I was really really happy. BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT CLIFFHANGER IN THE END WTF WAS THAT BRUAH!!!!! NOO WHY YOU DO THAT!!! I LIKED YOU!!! YOU STOOD UP FOR HER! WHY WOULD YOU-
episode 3:
okay so I said this in the first episode and I say it again, Ji Chang Wook is the best person ever to play this character, I mean he is able to do this so well, on moment he is this adorkable person and the next he has that wicked gleam in his eyes that is a 100% necessity with these type of ringmaster/magician type of roles and like, Hwang In Yeop is the cutest little, itty-bitty thing and we love him to bits, he is a little shi, but we can fix him, he's golden at heart so we keep hope in him, I love them all so so so much.
episode 4:
umm... wow. like, one moment he's the cutest most wonderful thing we have ever seen and then one second he's raving mad and possibly a murderer, but like the music is to die for, the music is absolutely splediferous and I can't get enough of it so shout out to the composer because the music is ✨ amazing ✨ and I love how wonderfully Hwang in Yeop is able to portray the conflict he feels between the dream his parents have for him and his own dream that he wants to follow. I have to say, that scene where Ah-yi goes to see her past self really made me tear up, it was just so wonderfully written I don't want to believe the magician is a bad guy
Episode 5:
Uhm. What- i mean- why-. Okay let's try to start from the top, Ji Chang Wook is starting to turn into a creep, ummm.... The magic that we all really seriously believed is all starting to turn into a lie, i- I have to say I was honestly honestly heartbroken, like i could feel my heart crumbling when I saw the vanishing trick revealed and- uhmm... I am actually really really proud of il deung for trying to break out of the asphalt road paved by his parents and trying to break out of the norms set by society so yeah, I'm seriously rooting for him but like- my heart cannot take this magic disappearing little by little.
Episode 6:
thankshin... masureul.... misimika? HAHAHAHASHRGHDGGRB I LOVED IT SO MUCHHHHH!!!! I CAN'T USE WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVED IT 💕 IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAST EPISODE EVER !!! I can't believe how easily i believed in him, I was like Ah Yi, so quick to believe there was even a little bit of real magic left in this world, it was like reading Peter Pan all over again. i am so so so so happy I started this show and to everyone who sees this review please please please go watch it, the magic 🪄 ✨ the magic is everything!!!!

It's extremely difficult to rate this drama.
Strong points that I loved:- Good actors (all of them.)
- The FX are magnificent
- Colours, contrasts, saturation: the photography of the film
- The costumes
- The moral: you have to keep dreaming even when if you are an adult
- The objective: to denounce school bullying
Weaknesses
- Sometimes a bit long for really futile things
- The ending is a bit too open for my taste and doesn't explain a quarter of the drama.
Good drama but not the best.

Luckly it's only 6 episodes
Firstly, i always have doubts when it comes to adapting a webtoon. In this particular case, the task is even more difficult since the plot is not easy to follow and the drawing had a particular esthic. I still gave it a chance...How do you justify turning the story into a musical ?!?! I think it really turned me away from the plot.
There are many ways turn on the magic without putting music into it . Otherwise we could have called disney.
The signing is fine but whimsycal doesn't equal musical.
The plot roughly flollow the webtoon but i think that the personality of the female lead is not what the autor intended. She's ways to much naive/amazed/.. I think she wasn't very likeable
Rearding the cast, the acting is fine. BUT you need to stop asking >25years old to play highschooler it is impossible to believe (especially de FM).
It only last 6 episodes and that was quite enough for me.
You can still give it a try but don't forget to check out the webtoon.
