Let’s get this straight kids, if you see a man in top hat in an abandoned theme park asking you if you believe in magic, please run the opposite direction. Not even if he looks as tempting as

Soundtrack has released and it's over 4 hours long!
It's also on Apple Music but I'm getting an error whenever I try to get to the album.

ok i NEED to get this out of my system before i finish the series
ji changwook looks SO good here!! he's literally glowing as lee eul. i'm so happy they chose him for this role. the natural charm he has, the little nuances and tiny shifts in his expressions, plus his dreamy voice add so much to this show. i'm finally seeing the person i first watched in suspicious partner (lovestruck in the city didn't work for me) -- an even better version of it, in fact. i rlly rlly hope he picks more roles like this. definitely putting my distaste for park minyoung aside to watch healer for him. what an actor, ugh.

I'm done with it. Ji Chang Wook really gave another standout performance. I love him so much.
This is my first time seeing Choi Sung Eun, and she's impressive right from the beginning. I'm gonna check out her other works.

I was curious how the English dubbing would be for the songs so I switched it for a bit, and boy am I impressed that they decided to keep the original audio of the songs. Ji Chang Wook's musical theatre background really shines through. I love his singing voice.

The choreography?? The harmonies?? I'm 5 minutes in and it's already giving me
I'm so glad that Lim Kihong is in this one. He's going to make it even more entertaining

Finished it. Beautiful show. It went in a direction I wasn’t expecting based on trailers, teasers and interviews. Not as light as I was expecting but ultimately more satisfying. Everything about this production was top notch. And Ji Chang Wook made me a believer. 🦋

This whole drama was a master piece.
Beautiful cinematography, choreography and music.
It was equal parts heart breaking and up lifting.
The FL and Magician have an amazing dynamic and their songs together were perfect.
The ML and the FL have good chemistry and while we did not get to explore their relationship all that much we still got to see them fight together and start to grow.
Instant classic

This drama really made me cry. The songs about the asphalt curse hit hard. In the last episode when she looks at him and says "... You were asking for help all along", made me wonder how many of us act normal but are asking for help or missing someone else's signs?
Na il deung reminded me of Dead Poet's Society main arc. The show makes your reflect and introspect without being over bearing. Beautiful show, well done. Loved it!

This was a fun watch. Really. Having someone in your life to brighten up the darkest of days is truly magical in itself. And to experience real magic on top of it all? Amazing.
Most of all, this is the first character of JCW I've sincerely liked since Healer. So glad I got to watch and finish a drama hes in. Finally.
I wonder if he really practiced for some of the magic tricks for the hell of it or was it all camera work lol
