  • WATCH: New Netflix K-Drama ‘The Sound of Magic’ Trailer

    Netflix revealed the main trailer of The Sound of Magic – a story featuring Yoon Ah-yi, a girl who has lost her dreams in the face of reality, and Na Il-deung, a boy pressured to pursue his dreams. An unexpected yet enchanting story unravels as the two encounter the mystical magician Rieul. 

    The newly released trailer provides a clear context into the narrative, visuals, and relationships among the three main characters – the enigmatic magician Ri-eul (Performed by Ji-Chang Wook), Yoo Ah-yi (Performed by Choi Sungeun), and Na Il-deung (Performed by Hwang In Youp). As illustrated through the trailer, this fantasy music series will share a universal message of what it is to become a grown-up through a magical yet mysterious storyline.  

    Ji Chang Wook, introducing his role, said, “Ri-eul is a mysterious character that will surely intrigue the audience! The line between vice and virtue is irrelevant when it comes to Ri-eul as he constructs and lives in his own world,” stirring up curiosity about his character.

    The Sound of Magic

    This spring, The Sound of Magic invites global audiences to a world of enchantment and heartwarming stories. The Sound of Magic will be released on May 6th, only on Netflix.

  • Crafting the K-Drama ‘The Sound of Magic’ According to its Director & Writer

    Netflix has another K-drama set for release this May 6, and this time, the series will be a musical fantasy! Titled The Sound of Magic, this new drama follows a struggling teen whose life is changed when she meets the mysterious magician living inside an abandoned theme park.

    Director Kim Sungyoun launched the project intending to preserve the original webtoon’s message. He was moved by how the original story depicted the characters wavering between dreams and reality and how “magic” alleviated their hardships. Kim first proposed this live series adaptation to the original webtoon writer Ha Ilkwon, and after a decade, they’re now ready to present it to global audiences! 

    Kim says working on the hit series Itaewon Class gave him a better understanding of the rift between a webtoon and live series. He involved writers Kim Minjeong and Ha Ilkwon from the early planning stages to share ideas and set the right direction and tone. He said, “I thought integrating music into the magic theme could effectively convey the story’s message.” By weaving in music, choreography, and CG to the original narrative, he created attractive visuals and a compelling narrative that can eventually drive emotional impact. 

    Writer Kim Minjeong focused on bridging the gaps between the webtoon and the live series, paying close attention to details to suit the overall production. She commented, “The necessary process of revising detailed elements was not easy. It simultaneously required matching the song lyrics to the plotline context, convincingly depicting the character’s emotions, and aligning the right kind of magic for the character Ri-eul.”

    #The Message in Sound of Magic: From the eyes of the Creators

    Both director Kim Sungyoun and writer Kim Minjeong agreed that they needed to preserve the message of the original webtoon. And through the story, they focused on delving into the question of what it means to dream and become a true adult. Writer Kim MinJeong hopes viewers can see the different types of adults from Ah-yi and Il-deung’s perspectives and reflect upon what it means to be a “good” grown-up. 

    The original webtoon writer Ha Ilkwon praised the newly reborn fantasy music series saying, “I was excited and truly happy watching the adaptation of my original story.” He added, “The Sound of Magic is a story about dreams and the reality of the young people and adults. Languages and cultures may differ, but I believe these key themes can resonate with everyone”. 

    Director Kim Sungyoun echoed the sentiment, “The series conveys a message about what it means to become a proper grown-up. I hope this message can become a gift for young and old alike during this delightful season of May!”

The first season – also available to stream on HBO GO – followed Hazel Green (Cristin Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run after ten years in a suffocating marriage to tech billionaire Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), as smart as he is insufferable. After discovering that her husband implanted a monitoring device – the Made for Love chip – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her “emotional data,” Hazel fled to her desert hometown to take refuge with her outcast father Herbert (Ray Romano) and his synthetic partner, Diane.

    In Made for Love Season 2, in order to save her father’s life, Hazel returns to the Hub, Byron’s high-tech palace. But once inside, she becomes ensnared by Gogol’s newest revolutionary (and dangerous) technology.

    The series stars Cristin Milioti as Hazel Green, Billy Magnussen as Byron Gogol, Ray Romano as Herbert Green, Dan Bakkendahl as Herringbone, Noma Dumezweni as Fiffany, Caleb Foote as Bennett, and Sarunas J. Jackson as Jay.

    The key message for World Wish Day® is to ‘Restore Hope with a Wish’.

You empower them to reclaim their childhood, and experience transformative joy. tvN and tvN Movies are supporting their World Wish Day® campaign through on-air, on-ground and social media activations in Singapore, Malaysia, and Philippines.
