Not a fan of musicals

so I only watched this drama for the two main Male leads, as I am not a big fan of musicals per se.

And i was really glad that it was only 6 episodes long, which was okay for a musical, however, I will be honest to say that I fast forward every time a song came on, so i actually have no ideas on what the music was about.

Generally the story was okay and basically very simple, you either believed in magic or you don't . This drama is about a high school girl named Yoon Ah Yi who is struggling to support herself and her sister. Her mother had abandoned her, and her father, who was in debt and had fled to make money. She had to work part-time to make ends meet. Despite having many adult responsibilities, she always managed to get good grades and was near the top of the school. She believed that poverty was the cause of her misery and her ambition was to become an adult as soon as possible and to acquire more wealth. She literally had to grow up really fast and deal with what was happening around at a young age, I did feel for her and the struggles she had to go through, my only disappointment was there were things that a child should not have to grow through and the teacher that literally turned his head away when she spoke up.

The visual effects were incredible and mesmerizing! The scenes with the blue butterfly fluttering around are especially lovely. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen because they were so beautiful. This exceeded my expectations!

Overall, I truly enjoyed it a lot. Had some questionable choices, acting and directing wise, but I still believe it’s a solid drama.
