Magic Candies Plot Summary

What happens in Magic Candies from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Dong-Dong is a young, friendless boy who finds simple joy in playing with marbles. One day, while trying to buy more marbles, he ends up purchasing round candies instead, and samples them as soon as he gets home.

The first candy is patterned like the couch in the family living room, and when he bites it, the couch can actually talk — but only while the candy remains in his mouth. The couch asks him to retrieve the remote from its side, and to tell Dad to stop farting on it so much. Shocked, [Dong-Dong] eats the candy and the moment passes; the candy melts away, leaving the couch inanimate once more.
