I liked the premise but didn’t care for the art style. I also found out there’s a Korean drama on Netflix based on this, so I’ve opted to watch that instead.

La historia es buena ciertamente, fresca, y admite varios tipos de lectura...pero mis 4⭐ son debido al arte de este manhwa, al trazo, a la estética. Asombroso.
This manhwa weaves a beautiful and magical spell. Unforgettable.

When does one become an adult?
Where does the child that we once were - go during this transaction?
The highlight of this webtoon is the whimsical art style and relatability. The author has made perfect use of the fact that this was a tale told through drawings. And the concerns, struggles, denial, and acceptance of growing up were relatable for most in this coming-of-age webtoon.
Apart from the retable expression of the struggle of growing up and finding your place in this world, plenty of questions were asked. such as what truly is an adult? Is it wrong to stay a kidult when one doesn't fit into the boxed category of adulthood yet has grown up from their childhood? But the answers to these questions weren't truly provided.
Matters were questioned and provoked to reexamine but there was neither a solution nor a comfort provided. It felt incomplete. (Instead of 'here is my story now you think about yours' it is more of 'these are the problems see what you can do')
So, kudos for the art, the thought behind it, and congratulations for I am sure these questions helped someone out there. But I would have liked to have a less melancholy ending.

Summary:
"Do you believe in Magic?"
The story revolves around three main characters: Yun Ai , Magician and Na il-deung.

Yun Ai works hard to support herself and her sister financially. But her life changes after her encounter with a Magician. Initially, she despises him because his irresponsible and crazy behavior.

Na Il-deung is a model student. He has the perfect score, wealthy family, good looks, and well-planned future. He has everything he everything he ever wanted except Yun Ai. But after his meeting with the crazy magician of the abandoned amusement park, his all so perfect life and well-planned future dreams began to shatter.
The story unravels in an amazing way how the lives of two high school students becomes entangled with a self-claimed 'real magician's.
Artwork: The artwork is quite good. The author predominantly uses black, white and grey in his manhwa, which suits the story perfectly. He uses 3D drawing to draw emphasis. He uses colors to show magic and gracefully illustrates that magic is nothing but illusion.
My Opinion: Absolutely loved it. It was amazing how the story unfolds slowly. The characters were truly realistic and relatable. The ending when Yun Ai asks "Do you believe in Magic?" It melts my heart.

Do you believe in magic?
I believe. That's what I've been saying throughout this amazing read. This story is full of allegories, darkness and deep meanings. I felt for the characters and cried for them.
It's definitely a recommended read for anyone who wants to believe in magic and still feels like a child inside.

This is the typical webtoon where you don’t know where it’s going to go until the last three chapters
