Joseon Magician was a disappointing work. The lead actors' performances were excellent, but the overall story and development were somewhat dull and uninteresting.
The protagonist, Hwan-hee, ends up doing magic because one of his eyes is blue and he wants to avoid people's prejudice and stares, but this setup was emphasized too much throughout the film, making the character's growth and the process of resolving the conflict seem insufficient.
Also, I watched this movie at a newly opened theater in the Pyeongchang area, and the other movie I had originally planned to see was sold out, so I had no choice but to watch this one, which was disappointing.
Overall, I think Joseon Magician was a work that fell short of expectations. I watched it with anticipation, but unfortunately, it seems like it lacked overall entertainment value.
Still, the lead actor's visuals matched the role so well, and the impressive acting was memorable. I think he handled a difficult role very well. And whenever Park Cheol-min appeared, he brought laughter, which was a relief.

Although the drama lacked overall entertainment value, the cast's acting skills and dazzling visuals made it watchable without feeling boring.
If a drama featuring these actors airs again in the future, I definitely plan to watch it. It contains a subjective evaluation that expresses disappointment and discomfort about the film.
I, too, ended up with negative feelings about this movie. Still, the way one views a film or one's taste is bound to differ from person to person.
This movie may appeal to some people, but it seems it did not work for you. Thank you for honestly expressing the uncomfortable feelings the film gave you.
In this way, the real evaluations of ordinary people can be helpful in understanding a movie.
