The Sound of Magic (Annarasumanara / 안나라수마나라)

Have you heard the rumor?

What rumor?

You know that small theme park on the hill in our town?

- Yeah. That place closed a long time ago. - Yeah.

Rumor has it that

a very good-looking magician lives there.

Really? Someone actually lives in that dreary place?

And a good-looking magician at that?

Oh, and I also heard

that magician is totally insane.

That's right.

Did you hear that the magician does real magic?

Real magic?

During the Sawing in Half trick,

he actually sawed—

In the trick where he makes someone disappear,

the person

really went missing.

Really?

And

before starting a trick,

he always...

stares into the person's eyes

and asks,

"Do you...

believe...

- in magic?" - ...in magic?

A story, hard to believe

A face you think You've only seen in your dreams

A strange and amazing story

That you wait to hear

At least once in your life

I want to dance a dance

That's frightening but also enchanting

I want to go Wherever the tangled road leads me

A road with no start or end

This is not a dream This is your imagination

This is the darkness under the light

Mess it all up

Everything you've believed in

You're not in a dream This is your imagination

Pinch yourself

Take a step to whichever direction

Yesterday has never

Once existed anywhere

The surprising true face of this world

That exists behind what's visible

This is not a dream This is your imagination

This is the darkness under the light

Mess it all up

Everything you've believed in

I'm not dreaming

It just all seems different

This is not a dream

This is your imagination

This is the darkness under the light

Mess it all up

Everything you've believed in

You're not in a dream

This is your imagination

Pinch yourself

Take a step to whichever direction

KIM SEONG-YOON

DO YOU... BELIEVE IN MAGIC?

Having a good time?

Seems like you are.

You're soon third years

and you're just chatting away, not caring if I'm here or not.

What's going on here? What is it?

Oh no.

What, are you all scared that I might be your homeroom teacher?

That's a relief.

That's right. What you least expected is true.

- What? - We're screwed.

Excited that the dean is your homeroom teacher? All right.

I'm going to make sure I nag you into college.

- Happy? - No, we're not.

Okay, let's take attendance since it's the first day.

"Kim So-hee."

What the...

Thanks.

"Baek Ha-na."

Present.

- "Seo Ha-yoon." - Present.

Okay. "Yoon Ah-yi."

Yoon Ah-yi.

Is she not here?

On the first day. Starting off great. Good God.

You're late! Where are you crawling off to?

Stand there until I finish.

You stand there too!

NA IL-DEUNG

So you're Il-deung.

Na Il-deung, the top student of the entire school.

I guess names really do matter.

Nice to meet you. My name is Dean.

Wow, seriously?

I'm joking.

Why aren't you laughing? You can laugh at funny things.

Wow, so funny.

All right, so you talked with the principal?

What did he say?

Well, he just told me to keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work,

meaning continue being the top student. What a kind remark!

You can't go any higher than the top.

All right, go sit in that empty seat.

You go sit too. Consider yourself lucky.

Making me start off my morning by raising my voice.

A good morning leads to a good day.

No?

- Yes. - Yes.

Mom. Today is the first day of the second year of high school.

I missed the bus and ended up being late,

but I didn't get in trouble, thanks to a classmate.

Maybe I am lucky like the teacher said.

A forest that has a lot of pine trees.

ONLY TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN EAT PLEASE DO NOT WASTE FOOD

Oh, sorry.

Mom.

I think it's gonna be another great school year.

So,

don't worry about me.

Just wear your vest today.

Hey, watch where you're going.

Today is not my day.

Hey, Na Il-deung.

Is your deskmate mute?

I don't know. I haven't spoken with her yet.

No, I told you.

That girl might look like she's all weird, but she gets good grades, right?

Why are you asking me that?

Oh, you don't know?

You're the top in every subject but Ah-yi always beats you in math.

So I thought you'd know for sure.

For real? She doesn't look like it.

- Kim So-hee. - Yeah?

You should try hard to lose weight if you want to get into college.

What?

- That's good. - Everyone, stop talking.

THE COLLEGE GATES ARE NARROW BUT WE ARE SKINNY

Since when do grades have to do with keeping in shape?

- What a world we live in. - Why are you touching my leg? Jerk.

So, this is our class motto.

As I see it, none of you should have a problem with this, except for Bo-hyeong.

It's terrible!

Why, is your conscience bothering you too?

Okay, the math teacher is in the bathroom, so just wait a bit.

He's pooping. It'll be a bit.

- My gosh. - Don't tell him I said that.

- Okay. - Goodbye.

Where do you study math?

You mean, like an academy?

Why do you ask?

It doesn't make sense that I'm not as good as you,

don't you think?

But it makes sense if my math teacher is not as good

as yours.

That's why.

HIRING PART-TIME STAFF HOURS NEGOTIABLE

Mom. I'm utilizing all my time to study, even at my part-time job.

Even if I can't go to college,

I don't want to give up on my grades.

What are you doing?

Sorry? Oh, I just...

No need to be startled.

You have to throw out the food waste separately, or we'll get fined.

Oh, right.

It won't happen again.

So? What do you think of the job?

Yes, it was fun.

You're better at this than you look.

It's a shame that you're just working one day.

If you'll have me, I can keep working here.

Can you start tomorrow?

- Yes. - Yeah? That's great.

A kid that used to work here suddenly quit.

I didn't know what to do.

Let's see. 48,000 won, right?

- Yes, 48,000 won. - Here.

I'm giving you an extra 2,000 won. I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

- Don't be late. - Yes, sir.

Ten kilograms of rice,

ramyun,

eggs,

and

tights.

FIFTY THOUSAND WON

Do you

believe

in magic?

I'm so out of breath.

Ah-yi!

I'm sorry.

I'm so late. Were you scared?
