A Unique Korean Musical Drama

The cinematography in this drama is excellent, the storyline is good too. However, what stood out for me is the actors' skills in terms of acting. All the leads did a great job at portraying each of their characters, especially Choi Sung Eun. She expressed a vulnerable teenager who was forced to become an adult, and she did a great job at portraying it.

The story is new and fresh, however, there are some confusion whether Ri Eul really can do magic or if he's a scam, but I think it's the point of the story, whether we really believe in magic or not, the writers purposely put a confusion for the viewers to choose their thoughts.

The story is about two different students who are the opposite of each other. FL is struggling financially, but though she lacks money, she did great academically but it is not her priority. ML has a rich parents, but from the outside, he seems like an all rounder, but in fact, he's struggling too because his parents have an impossibly and ridiculously enormous amount of expectation of him. Thus both FL and ML were forced to grow up so fast by their environment. So what I can get in this story is Ri Eul tries to make ML and FL think their purpose in life, whether they are happy with current choices they made. The quote that stuck to me was "you should do whatever it is you want to do just as much as the things you don't want to do". I think the quote really becomes a comfort to me as a person who stressed over everything.

I think overall the movie is great, not my cup of tea, but I enjoy it. It is worth watching, and it's a short drama only 6 episodes without waiting every week to come. Plus I'm surprised of how the leads can sing! I watched all of their previous dramas - never thought of them singing this great.

p.s. idk why but this drama reminds me of Peter Pan, maybe because it's about "never growing up" kind of genre, child-like ML and has magic in it
