The Sound of Magic Korean Netflix Drama

 The Sound of Magic K-drama review

 

Synopsis

The Sound of Magic, which aired on the 6th of May, is a coming-of-age show that contains 6 episodes in comparison to the typical 16-episode standard. It tells the story of a high-school student, Yoon Ah Yi, who financially takes care of herself and her younger sister. Despite the absence of her parents and her poor financial circumstances, she still ranks near the top of her class. Even though she tries not to show it, life is hard for Yoon Ah Yi and she wants to become an adult soon so she can get a stable job.

Contrary to her demanding lifestyle, Na Il-Deung who is her classmate comes from a wealthy family and he often competes with Yoon Ah Yi for the top grade at school. Consequently, he begins to have feelings for her.

Her life takes an interesting turn when she encounters a magician, Ri-Eul, at a deserted amusement park. He is a mysterious individual but very positive.




 

What I liked about “The Sound of Magic”?

The Sound of Magic was one of the most refreshing series I have ever watched. The entire show demonstrated the significance of belief and faith. If you believe in something, it will happen. It has to happen, there’s no ifs or buts about it. Oftentimes, Yoon Ah Yi was faced with challenges in life and began to lose hope. One day her boss tried to abuse her, and while crying out for help (in her mind), the magician appeared. It’s as if she manifested him. I really liked the concept of it all!

Yoon Ah Yi who sought the magician’s help was often asked by him if she believed in magic. This was a reoccurring question throughout the film. It seems that it was Yoon Ah Yi’s belief that prompted the magician’s magic to actually work.




‘Annarasumanara’ which is a made-up Korean term that means ‘Abracadabra’, was used every time the magician was about to “cast a spell”. This scene reminds us that our words truly have power. Our words are like ‘spells’, each sentence creating our reality and shaping our future.

Moreover, what I especially liked is that the Magician did not really care if others did not believe him and his work as a magician. He also did not care how society judged him which gave others inspiration to start controlling their own life and becoming the creators of their own destinies.

 

The Sound of Magic demonstrates how we can truly have everything we desire if we just believe. Do you believe? Do you believe in magic?
