Annara Sumanara is my magical words healing words now

●HOW I CAME TO IT
This is my first Ji Chang Wook Drama, after a thorough recommendation from MDL’s I picked TSOM.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I have never been to a musical but I have been to a circus show just once in my lifetime and this drama brings back the memories of my trip to of circus, there were so many acrobats, jugglers, rope walkers, clowns and a magician, filled with musicians and dancers.
The magic show at the end of the circus made me forget everything else, I know those were all tricks but it was fantastic for my childhood memory.

●PLOT VIEW
The Sound of Magic tells a tale about a mysterious magician Ri Eul, who meets two teens, stressed up from the adult pressure of society. He shows them some magic and that's the best part because we cannot differentiate between what is real magic and fake magic. If just happens to be one’s faith and belief, if you believe there is god and it is everywhere if you don’t believe in its existence it isn't anywhere. Ri Eul shows magic shows which heals the soul and takes away the pain at that moment.

●ACTING/CAST
Big applause for the casting directors. They picked an ensemble cast, not just with facial beauty but talent in singing and acting too. Ri Eul played by Ji Chang Wook is pure bliss. He takes up the job to make us feel that magic is real, he is just perfect in that magician robe and hat. His past added that extra glimpse of that pain behind the smile.
Hwang In Yeop as Na Il Deung was also a perfect choice because we have seen him in arrogant, bully roles. It's kind of refreshing to see him as a nerdy student. He flows in his character like he has been doing this for ages. Il Deung means number 1 in Korean and here as a top student, he works hard that he develops illness too.
Choi Eun Sung as Yoon Ah Yi, the name means child in Korean, also represents that a child is more attracted to magic and fairies. She is perfect, a quick wit, weak and enthusiastic. She literally made my heart feel at ease when she performed magic.

●MUSIC
About the music, all the musicals are upbeat, uplifting, and ensembled with beautiful lyrics. My playlist is updated and I got all the musicals to the video list. The musicals are a huge plus point of the drama

●REWATCH
I already watched it twice because it's short and just 6episodes so didn’t really keep engaged. It gives an accomplishment and a happy feel.

●APPRECIATION
This is my first musical drama and highly grateful for it. Its cinematography, and esthetic are just magical.

●FAV SCENE
Ri Eul and Ah Yi giant wheel magic.
Na Il Deung singing with a guitar in the fields.

●RECOMMENDATION
It is such a good drama, short sweet, and motivational. If anyone is going through any slump, they will get a magic healing session.
