The Sound of Magic

 Korean 6-part series

65minutes/episode

5 Stars

 

Ah-Yi, a poor high-school student struggling to support herself and her younger sister with no help from their parents who have abandoned them; Il-deung is a well-off student who sits next to her, bribes her to let him get the higher scores; Ri Eul, a young man who wants the world to believe in magic, lives alone in a somewhat eerie abandoned amusement park. Ah-Yi, wants to go to college and find her parents, Il-deung wants to become his own person instead of who his parents want, and Ri Euel wants to remain a child who believes he is a great magician and teaches Ah-Yi. This is a great binge series, take a rainy afternoon, a pot of hot tea, and binge. There is conflict, humor, music, pathos—in other words, a great show. Do you believe in Magic?
