if you want to give comfort to yourself, watch this drama. expect to skip/fast forward some scenes

This drama would be perfect above all when it does not take so much longer to drag the plot of the story. So i'll make this note short, since what I like is just the beginning and the ending, not the whole plot of the drama. Now I understand why this drama was rated below 7.8 out of 10. I guess a 12-14 episode would be enough for the story to be told.
But the drama was quite a good vibe to watch since it's giving the viewers a positive energy and vibes while watching, with a little heart touching a bit. For me, the plot seems to be so much dragging, like its out of the place. The love triangle must be fixed even better than what the drama shown to us. What I just liked is the jolly vibes, with moral lessons of teamwork, hardships, relationships or specifically, the youth. The casts seems, eh okay but I don't think for me especially Hae yi's attitude seems to be pretty annoying but pretty makes sense to all of the team cheerleading. In a college setup? with her personality? I don't think that's common to see, its rare. Specifically, too much fantasy and does not focus more of reality. Some areas from the drama were not that clear as well, especially when the cheer captain was stabbed, then I never seen such thing that it was rushed and no justice being served, just a response from the university saying that they would focus more to the safety of everyone, like what the???

To make this drama give a chance, I think its really beneficial to some kdrama fans who were beginners. Honestly, I felt that I had this feeling of mine that there is something missing. But the vibe from the story makes me get interested. I appreciate the cast as well in this drama since they worked so hard for this drama to be successful. Not to be biased, but for me this drama deserve high or low rating, I think an 7.5 or 8 out of 10 would be enough.

~ The Cast, hmmm characters well portrayed
~ OST makes you feel the energy the story has
~ the prophecy seems very interesting from the beginning to the end
~ acting was pretty clear, especially Han Ji Hyun gave so much spotlight to her acting skills from crying, acting crazy, and such.

So I would say, good for beginners and recommended if ever you need to freshen up or lighten up your mind and enjoy watching this drama since again it's mostly full of happiness as well.

benefits of having a relationship with a red flag guy and harsh reality in getting together...

let me explain why this drama was a 9 out of 10 (but why not 7 or 8?)

first thing s first, I dropped this drama last year when episode 10 got released and watching the episode 8 until I stopped due to shipping nabi and do-hyeok together knowing the ending of too many spoilers online. As i came back to watch this drama, i guess i was satisfied with the ending as well. I supposed before watching this drama even after watching few episodes, I need to be open-minded to na-bi and jae-eon's decisions of having their relationship whether it is kind of a little benefits with them. Expressing the desires, temptations, desperate, and pleasures they have especially to nabi having a previous relationship that destroys all over her life and jae-eon being the red flag guy in this drama. but then showing up jae-eon, until she decided to try do something new that would change her life ever since from the beginning. And at the end, showed up that they were together, until she saw do-hyeok, thinking that i guess the ending was the togetherness of nabi and jae-yeon as a couple, but maybe they would end up having regrets and blameless (as what nabi told him in the last scene in the exhibit) + let me appreciate the wonderful art of nabi's statue at the exhibit, it was soooo pretty and fascinating :<

now let me explain the plot since mostly everyone watching this drama was disappointed at the ending. overall, nabi wants to discover a new type of relationship that is full of love (but not really love bombing), but she does not know about jae-eon's path of his life when meeting other girls. Actually, there was a scene about him and seol-a (the girl who make nabi jealous) that makes me think of that he is a red flag type of guy. Until i found out and realized that I think jae-eon was the type of guy before to hangout with so many girls without knowing that he used too much of his intimate relationships hanging out with girls. but then when he ended up with nabi, that's how he appreciates nabi the most that changes his life to become a better person at the end. I was really surprised at the ending exhibit scene because he actually cried (even if the last part when the statue got rebuild then saying goodbye to her disappearing out of nowhere). I also got bad with do-hyeok's ending since he decided that he would be happy of what nabi's decision would she make if she ended up back with him or jae-eon. I really like how do-hyeok portrayed in this drama. him being the green flag guy + knows how he would interact with nabi being childhood friends. but sadly, i got to understand well his point where he would respect nabi's decision after all, and as nabi accepts what do-hyeok gave to her (even his heart and flowers as well :<) ahhh + how he also confronts nabi's decision at the exhibit scene as well. how i wish do-hyeok type of guy must exists in real life PLSSS :< and as well as episode 10 was enough for me.

I'll go now to the casts, especially the supporting casts. I feel happy with their ending as they also felt happy from where they were by the ending. The relationships that they have, and how they expresses relationships that are not really perfect, but with such benefits and passion on never giving up until they ended up together. I like how they also blends with the point of the plot from this drama. this part would be short, but again, I appreciate their screen time as well. sometimes i got sad, and sometimes i get chills and mad hehe.

Overall, this drama was more about the reality of having relationships nowadays with guys that you don't trust somehow. comparing a red flag and green flags relationships made me understand better of having that types or relationships that you might encounter, not knowing when would happen. is fate real? is love by fate real enough to express relationships that much? is it too much to handle for nabi's point of view with jae-eon and/or do-hyeok? that made me think all over this drama. But, I like this drama and finally, I got to appreciate the casts who did a very job well done!
Recommended, not really good for beginners since it needs kind of an open-minded mindset of their point of views and lots of patience as well :')). Good for binge watch and ep 10 was pretty enough for me too. + the ost OMFG PLSSS I LOVE THEM :<

thanks to this drama, i learned a lot, very :')

"be careful what you wished for, for you have the price to make"

okay well even if this drama was far from reality, I guess this drama deserves more recognition because the story makes all connected to what the drama portrays the whole plot of the story.
This drama was underrated, that the fact that there were lots of scenes that gives moral lessons to our personal lives. "Be careful of what you wished for, for you have the price to make".

First and foremost, i'll talk first about the plot. from the beginning, it talks about curse and pain about reality. which is more about the curse that Jung Jin received from her mother, which the witch Jo Hee Ra. The story seems very entertaining because of how each and every episodes sees the glimpse of something that I'll never expect to reveal, which is Jung Jin being the daughter of the witch, and being the next owner of the witch's diner. I like how others had their own wished that gave me heartfelt. the plot from the beginning, until the last and every bit parts of the series made me chose to give an overall 10 rating because of how bittersweet this drama was.

For the cast, they seems to portray the characters very well. I was looking forward from Chae Jong Hyeop's role. I was very proud of Nam Ji Hyun as well since my last drama with her was Suspicious Partner and made me think that she deserve so much attention because of her great acting skills! (looking forward to her new drama Little Women 2022!). Song Ji Hyo aka the witch was also very attractive from her role, her humor as well was too real!! she was too good from this drama including Ha Do Gwon the shadow or CEO which gave chemistry for me with the witch haha!

Overall, this drama gave me too much chills and emotions, lots of unexpected scenes to come in the end because of how *again* interconnected with the scenes. The cast who were involved in this drama (especially the main leads and the supporting roles) deserve attention and dramas to look forward to their next projects.
Good for binge watch, recommended for beginners, great for time-kill since it was only 8 episodes but it needs to be 10 for a good duration from the drama, rewatchable as well!
LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCHHH!

"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."

(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!!
