Magic Candies

Synopsis

At the park, Dong-Dong often ends up overlooked when other children are picking partners to play with, but he's content enough just rolling his marbles by himself. One day, instead of buying more marbles, he decides to get a bag of bright candies. After popping the first one, his old sofa unexpectedly begins speaking to him! They have an unanticipated conversation until the candy's power fades. It emerges that because of these magical sweets, every being and object around Dong-Dong is able to voice their own thoughts and emotions.
