I interpreted as the author inviting the readers to not be afraid to go after our dreams.

What did you make of the creepy bird then?

I really like that the author added that mailbox scene and the parrot. They make the manga so much more interesting.

Liked it, actually the lovely art and the ambigous nature of the manga complemented well. That was more like story of self discovery, but in a unique way with the concept of magic being implemented. Good ending as well keeping up with the theme of the manga.

9/10

She looked very cute in that magician outfit (^_^) . Overall I thought this was a very interesting read. Also i liked how different the art was compared to Japanese manga.

This was a really good read, I do not regret picking it up.

I liked the ending, although it was quite bittersweet.

This ending was very disappointing. It seems that you can only be a magician in between the time left between university and studying. The main character's dream wasn't strong enough to overcome society. Also, if you choose to fight for your dream and live off as a magician and accept being poor (even though magicians may build a fortune) you are suffering from psychosis. So, once again, live real life the way others want you to. :/

This is such a beautiful piece of art, makes me see life and being an adult in a more different view. The story was so bittersweet yet inspiring. The characters engaging. The art so abstract yet unique. The concept was executed properly. It was a magical experience and an unforgettable one at that. Is magic worth believing? I do now.

I genuinely thought at the start to very near the end that L could actually do magic, but I guess they revealed that he was just an ordinary human. I didn't particularly like how they never revealed where the magician went, but otherwise this series has been completely amazing. It really makes you think about life, and is a heart warming story. I wish there was more.

He's a real magician.

In the end, it was a realistic yet encouraging story. Ai is working hard to be a proper adult while still retaining that childish charm.

I wonder where the magician went to though. I... don't actually think it was healthy to let him go alone like that.

I kinda liked how all the romance was hinted at but not completely explored. Leaves much more to the imagination.

there's 0 romance, like less than 0 between ryu and yun.
----
i read the last two eps while listening to this song:

and if you read halfway through the last ep listening to the last 3ed of the song, it fits so well.

i believe ryu disappeared to where he could be safe and be who he wanted to be. i also believe the ending doesn't change how you will be forced to be an adult no matter what, but the little choice you have in the matter, you can change. you don't have to be the best, the richest, the most successful. that's my take on it at least. i'll have to reread it sometime because i didn't understand a lot of symbolism in the story.

and i've come to the conclusion that magic is real, but only to those who really believe (thus the question "Do you believe in magic"). i believe it's a mixture of a magician's magic and real magic. this could easily be an OVA/movie and i wouldn't be surprised to see it win some awards. these past two generations can relate to this story more than any previous ones. it should resonate with so many adults and teens.

I think my biggest regret is the fact that this manhwa didn't last longer. What a beautiful plot
Annarasumanara have to be read, and it deserves a real success even though it's almost impossible
For the ending, well I had planned what Yoon would become and it's not so disappointing
ANYWAY 10/10 btw gg Il-Kwon

This was an interesting manhwa. Naive but that was the point I think. The ending was a tad anti-climactic but it also left the right amount to the imagination to make it impactful.

The ideas brought up and explored were interesting. So was the magic a symbolic metaphor or was it real? Does that even matter? Thought provokiing but also frustrating. Some side characters I didn't see the need for.

I'll give this a 7/10.

What I took from the story is that there's need for balance: if you live only for others, you destroy yourself (the magician, heroine, weird-head guy), but if you live only for yourself, you destroy those dearest to you (heroine's parents). In the end, Ah-ee manages to compromise - and that's what adulthood seems to be about, combining the inner child with responsibilities.

Btw, anyone got a theory as to why Il Deung's head looked the way it did? At first I thought it represented the guy's lack of awareness of his true self, since it turned to "normal" once he understood life isn't all about academics; however, in the final chapter, the head became weird again for a moment, specifically when Il Deung seemed to be emotionally overwhelmed. Could it perhaps be the fact that at such moments, he still views himself inaccurately (in terms of self-confidence, etc.)?

Exactly. I think that's the main idea behind both Ah-ee's and Il-Deung's paths. In somewhere, Lee Eul said this to Ah-ee:
"I'm not saying that you should only do what you want to do. I'm just saying that you should do what you want to do as much as you do the things that you don't want to do..."

I'm not sure why his head became weird again. But I guess, the whole "head thing" is about pride, arrogance, and prestige. Maybe it represented a lack of awareness, as you said. However, in that case, some other characters would have a long head. (Maybe not haha.)

I've read this on a webpage:

The common explanation is: the head symbolizes Il-Deung’s pride and arrogance, his “big head,” so to speak. Indeed, in Korean one of the phrases for arrogance is 목에 힘을 주다 , “to put power into one’s neck.” While it’s certainly true that Il-Deung’s family is distinguished and proud of it, I don’t think that’s the only reason for their appearance.

In most Asian cultures, there is a concept of “face” and saving face. Essentially, “face” is your honor/dignity, represented by your external image, and maintaining a positive outer image and covering up your embarrassments can be considered more important than anything, sometimes even death. I believe Il-Deung’s elongated head represents the “face” his family was endowed with, along with the pride, the conceit, the “prestigious” image, but also the stress and pressure that maintaining such an image comes with.

Source

So, I think, in the last episode, his head became "weird" again for a moment; because in that moment he felt stressed and he became arrogant again. (Yeah, we can't actually say he became arrogant in that moment, but that's the point of all this symbolism, I guess)

Oooh, all right, that makes sense; thank you! This makes the heads' ugliness so much better. :) According to this "pride" interpretation, they're supposed to symbolize the ideal (!) image Il-Deung's family's maintaining - and yet, when Il-Deung discovers his true and much less perfect self (and abandons the image), he instantly becomes way handsomer. I love this.

Hehe, arrogant sums it up well enough; basically instilled pride kicking in. :-) Sure gonna reread this manhwa one day, must've missed on so many less obvious treats.

You're welcome! One of the best parts of manga is that that his head becomes normal. Of course, I've already known his head was only a symbolism since the first chapters. (Everybody called him handsome, right? :D) But, he was much more handsome than I thought. It is very difficult to change one character's opinions this deeply, and it is even harder to explain that. That's why this manhwa is inspirational. But this is also a weak point of the manhwa.

My very first Manwha and I don't regret it at all. All of the characters are likeable and not annoying. I thought this was a Fantasy or Romance Manwha but it was wrong at all, this is mainly a Drama and Slice of Life Manwha which is really calm to read. I like how they introduced what is a real magician, and the last volume made me cry. The ending is good and not that sad, but it was lonely. The story is simple but awesome. Overall a great Manwha and enjoyable.

Take a look at my webnovel, read and seek the hidden truth behind the cursed ducks.

First time reading a web toon and wow that really felt like actual moving pictures. Almost magical. Really good read. Slightly depressing but also a lil up lifting. My favourite parts were when the magician made the manager disappear, the magician in the flower field and when egg head turned human.

''I'm saying you should do just as many things you want to do as things you don't want to do, that's what life's about.''

This quote, and the monologue of Il-Deung about being an adult, those are just truly awesome. And after reading the whole thing, so many things are going through my head now. I remember why I embraced this world world of anime and manga so closely. This is a way of me trying to escape the reality of being an adult (though yes there are many series which are definitely not for kids). But what I mean is, these works make me forget about the harsh reality I have to face everyday. Being an adult, constantly thinking about what to do next, constantly trying to fit in with the society's perfect box, trying to meet everyone's expectations, I can very much relate to this story. Even the things about money.

So many emotions are working inside me now that I can't even put them to words. Maybe more so because I have am in the similar dilemma for the past few days, which again increased my presence in this imaginary world of anime and manga so much. I am constantly trying to escape my relaity by trying to fit myself in this place.

No wonder why people around me always say that, this world is the reason I am not matured enough like the others of my age :) I don't fit in the society either!! I can never be a perfect adult either!

This is literally what I call art. Yes it can be confusing at times but that adds to the story. The story is unique as a whole, and the symbolism in it is very well thought. It's a great story for those who can understand it properly. The magician is such a character and the way the message and story is told is amazing. The only thing I disliked was that the ending wasn't really proper..? I can understand not sharing what happened to the magician (although it made me cry) to create a mystery element but it's not clear what happened to Ildeung, and Ai’s story didn't feel complete. Like idk I wish they showed the magician in the end as well ugh I’m crying again

I'd lie if I said I expected that ending. Rip R though, vanishing like that, guess Ai's magic was true after all.
I liked the scene with the invitation card at the end.
The stress on R and the other one was so big.
