Basically screams Now You See Me (characters, the Four Horsemen concept, the intro - the freaking intro!) and I haven’t watched The Prestige yet so I can’t really say for that. It has references to both films though, and I can clearly see that. They were woven in quite well! The language is strategically concise and it sort of leaks this mysterious vibe. Sly Baekhyun (slightly masochistic + adrenaline junkie) plus constant-smirk-on-his-face Kyungsoo was a perfect magician combo. (Plus the side characters fit the characters of the others in the Four Horsemen nicely.) A short but feelsy read! — Admin Heidi
