What could be better than to have this mere question capturing the essence of this series? Sound of Magic, starring the all rounder Ji Changwook is one amazing masterpiece with a pinch of twists but tons of pixie dusts, that's fantasy. If you're a fantasy lover, this drama calls your name. The Sound of Magic plays with this idea constantly, combining elements of The Miracle on 34th Street, Goblin and Extracurricular, blending them together into a beautifully surreal and incredibly thought provoking series. What begins as a fantastic journey into the world of magic soon takes a dark turn as we’re left to question exactly what we’ve seen >•<
I’m being careful not to go into spoilers here but suffice to say, The Sound of Magic is a magical series; a wonderful, hedonistic ride boasting strong themes at the heart of this one that gives it a good amount of depth.
Magic tricks aside, The Sound of Magic also has a smattering of dream sequences, interesting choreography and some breath-taking shots of Korea too.
The Sound of Magic won’t be for everyone but the series does a fantastic job fleshing out all of its characters, delivering a simple but effective story and layering all of that with thought provoking and relevant themes about society and our place in the world. The rest is upon your verdict! I could go hours for how perfect this show was and how massive potentials it holds for season2!
