JAKARTA - Ji Chang Wook incarnated as a magician in the latest series, The Sound of Magic. According to him, this series has a story that can be felt by all viewers regardless of their age.

The Sound of Magic tells of Yun Ai (Choi Sung Eun) who is experiencing difficulties in life. One day, he meets a handsome magician, Ri Eul (Ji Chang Wook). Ri Eul comes and changes Yun Ai's life.

“The Sound of Magic is an entertaining series. This is a drama that begins when a magician who wants to be a child forever appears in front of a child who is forced to grow up and another child whose dreams are crushed by his parents," explained Ji Chang Wook at the press conference for The Sound of Magic on Tuesday, May 3.

Director Kim Sungyoun explained that this plot was inspired by him who often talked about growing up with his school friends.

“We often talk about 'Are we really adults? Can we say we are adults? Can we talk about that to our children? And that's the message I want to convey," said Kim Sungyoun.

"I want anyone watching this series to be able to talk about this not only with adults but with their children as well," he continued.

It also made Ji Chang Wook want to accept the offer of this series. When he received the script two years ago, he felt it was like reading his life story.

“First, the characters of Ah Yi and Il Deung. I feel their story is my story. And I think this is a story for all of us because it's very relatable and I want to support the characters," explained Ji Chang Wook.

Talking about his character, Ji Chang Wook admitted that this character is something different from other projects.

“Ri Eul is a mysterious magician who lives in a playground. He is an adult but he loves the wizarding world. And when he grows up to be an adult, he wants to stay as a child forever," said Ji Chang Wook.

The Sound of Magic series starring Ji Chang Wook can be watched on May 6 via Netflix.
