I had my preservations, when I first started watching it, especially when the first song hit off. I said to myself, 'nahhh', there was no way I was going to watch a musical, so I dropped it mid half the 1st episode for about two months, I think. And then, its' time was up! I tried to rewatch it (in the meanwhile I'd forgotten all about it) and it swept me away! I was even wondering, why on earth had I dropped it then, but there's a saying 'everything has its' proper time' and I guess that series was made for that saying.
It was one of these musicals that give meaning to the songs and the songs did indeed came on the right time with the right follow up. The lyrics were on the spot, the actors were amazing as they interprete the songs with their facial expressions and emotions; and that's something one does not easily find in musicals. I applaud for the hard work of everyone.
The ML, Ji Chang Wook, I'd seen in other series and I was pleasantly surprised with his singing and dancing talent. The same goes for the FL, Choi Sung Yun.
I was afraid I was going to be disappointed as the end approached, but thank goodness, no. It was delivered with a rational explanation that did not destroy the whole essence of the story, so congrats to everybody that helped in making 'The sound of magic'.
