because if you don't meet the set standards, you are treated like a failure."

(beware: long review, but greater explanation!)
lets just say I got a little sad and wasted by the plot of the story. For me, this short drama was a little too fast-paced for me, but the story was something from it's fantasy, but combined with an reality. The drama speaks about how believing yourself or from someone else might be different and hard to believe into something, but as what the drama says, it's what we believe or in other words, "do you believe in magic?".

The plot of the drama seems to be too fast-paced for me, because of how expected and unexpected things happened during the whole series. There were scenes that would be really relatable, far from fantasies that we had from what we expect from the word "Magic". There were things that are too unrealistic, but at the same time, the story about a high schoolers and a magician expresses more comfort and healing every time they encounter struggles about their personal life's based from their experiences from the past till present. I also love the musicality theater themed drama this is. Because it feels even more theatrical because of the musical scenes as well. It fits from the story because of how a magician wants others to understand how he wants to be believed into from his own beliefs in terms in his skills in being a magician. In other words, the story speaks about "Our life wants to be believed from what we believe"

From the cast, they were good in acting. I can't explain how Lee Chang-wook and Hwang In-yeop proves me that they are much appreciated from their roles and their acting skills. I was quite surprised from Lee Chang-wook's singing skills and because of this drama, I got to know him more. Choi Sung Eun made me think of looking forward from her drama because she acted so well even her emotions felt like its really true! I appreciated the cast from this drama because this series was full of fantasy and how it exceeds my expectations since it was too beautiful to watch the whole episodes. For the characters, I think what I missed the most is, I think Lee Ri-eul from the character needs to have a little bit more flashbacks from his experience because I realize that there's really something missing that needs to be shown in the plot. Especially the lead roles, except from Yoon An-yi because I got to know her story that much already. But for Lee Ri-eul does'nt have that much duration to express from his experiences. Also, for Na il deung, I had mixed feelings because from his personality in the whole drama, but I guess both An-yi and il-deung had similar personal problems after all. The ending was mainly focused on An-yi but I was expecting even more from Ri-eul and Il-deung to show their life after their experiences, but I guess I was wrong about it. unexpected short-comings, the ending was a little bit unexpected as well from me. Oh, I almost forgot, the musical-themed osts were very cute as well, most of the scenes that fits with their ost made it even more better.

Overall, this drama was pretty beautiful because of the plot that speaks both fantasy and reality. I got to see this type of dramas in kdrama land rarely, and I think for me this drama also speaks about how we believe in ourselves or from others based from our origin and our beliefs. We get to know ourselves from our expectations that seems to be right or wrong, and what others would think about us the way we portray from what they judge about us. And after all, this line hits me from the drama: "At some point, the world became a place people like you can't live in. Because if you don't meet the set standards, you are treated like a failure." Thanks to this drama, I got to learn a lot.
Recommended, good for binge watch and time killer, great for beginners as well! :>
looking forward to the cast!!
