Story

Ah Yi is a high school student who, even though she is on the top rank of her school, lives alone with her younger sister and has trouble getting by, managing to live by part-time jobs. One day she meets a mysterious magician, Lee Eul, who will introduce her to the world of magic.

Korean Drama The Sound of Magic is a truly magical drama. The atmosphere was spot on and the settings, SGI, and costumes were all perfect for the mood of the story.

As for the main plot, it’s bittersweet, with a dramatic beginning and a smooth ending.

The musical parts, in addition, were nicely embedded into the story and gave another dimension to the drama.

Finally, the romance was subtle and only there to aid to the characters’ development, though the love story was not the main act of the drama.
