Pierce Conran South China Morning Post 05/10/2022
3/5
In the end this is a half-baked fable that could have been so much more. It’s the sound of magic without the feeling of it. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 05/09/2022
The overlong episodes could be nipped and tucked here and there, but The Sound of Magic offers a fine balance of smart and silly. Fans of K-stuff will probably love it. Go to Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community 05/09/2022
9/10
The Sound of Magic is fantastically emotive in every way. The whimsy and beauty serve as a counterbalance to the rich narrative of one young girl trying to move past her circumstance. Go to Full Review Kayti Burt Paste Magazine 05/06/2022
7.3/10
Itaewon Class director Kim Seong-yoon’s dazzling visuals and the cast’s earnest performances make for an enjoyable, brief trip around this merry-go-round ride of a story. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 05/06/2022
3/5

Toms c 06/04/2023 So perfect right up to and including that ending :) This is one of the best things I've watched this year. See more Tiago S 05/23/2023 Acho importante assistir séries além do meio famoso e americanas, então resolvo assistir essa que tem mistérios, magia e plot twist tudo na medida com uma leveza mas em alguns momentos tensões evidentes. See more mark w 08/19/2022 Tries to be magical, and almost is, but not quite. The female lead (Choi Sung Eun, who was great in "Beyond Evil") was just too lost, doe eyed & perpetually confused. The actor who plays the magician was quite good. A whimsical fantasy musical that almost works, just that Choi's voice wasn't really suited to singing. At least it wasn't dull. 6.5/10, C.
