Breaking News: "The Sound of Magic" Won’t Return for Season 2 at Netflix
Netflix has made the disappointing announcement that their highly-acclaimed Korean drama "The Sound of Magic" will not be returning for a second season. The show, which premiered on Netflix in December 2021, has been a fan favorite for its unique blend of music, drama, and fantasy elements.
"The Sound of Magic" tells the story of Lee Eul, a young girl who discovers a mysterious street magician named Ri-eul, who is struggling to find his place in the world. As Eul becomes drawn into Ri-eul’s world, she begins to uncover the secrets behind his magic and the true nature of their connection.
The show was praised by critics and audiences alike for its stunning visuals, captivating storyline, and outstanding performances from its cast, including Choi Si-won and Park Se-wan. Despite its initial success, however, Netflix has decided not to renew the show for a second season.
According to reports, the decision to cancel "The Sound of Magic" was made due to a combination of factors, including the show’s high production costs and the streaming giant’s shifting priorities. Netflix has been focusing on producing more content that appeals to a broader audience, and "The Sound of Magic" may not have fit into their new strategy.
Fans of the show are understandably disappointed by the news, with many taking to social media to express their sadness and frustration. "I’m so upset! I loved this show so much," wrote one fan on Twitter. "It was unique and beautiful and the music was amazing. I’m going to miss it so much."
Despite the cancellation, "The Sound of Magic" will still be available to stream on Netflix for fans who want to revisit the show’s enchanting world and characters. The show’s creator, Kim Min-ki, has also expressed gratitude to fans for their support and has hinted that he may explore other projects in the future.
In the meantime, fans of "The Sound of Magic" can take comfort in the knowledge that they will always have the show’s 12 episodes to cherish and rewatch. The show’s legacy will live on, and its unique blend of music, drama, and fantasy will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
