One does not usually expect a murder mystery to start with a song and dance routine. For this reason, my initial impression of episode 1 was confusion. (O.o) Nevertheless, I decided to watch the series from start to finish and was pleasantly surprised.
Yoon Ah-yi (played by Choi Sung-eun) is a high school student who is going to school, works part-time, and takes care of her little sister. She and her younger sibling were deserted by both parents. This young lady is having a hard-knock life.
Ri Eul / Ryu Min-hyuk (played by Ji Chang-wook) is … a young man who wears a top hat and insists that he is “a real magician”. He lives in an abandoned amusement park. When you first meet this character, you might think he's a bit weird. But you certainly don't think he's a murderer.
QUESTION: Is it possible that this “real magician” can really make real problems disappear?
She was hoping he could make her real problems go away. But when he is arrested for the murder of one of her classmates she is in disbelief. His real problem compared to her problems is HUGE!
♦ I gave this Netflix series 4 out of 5 stars. The story and the soundtrack were “magical”.
