Twins With Opposite Looks!! One Is Often BuLLied, The Other Adored (Narrative- The Miracle )
THIS WEEK’S
TOP STORIES
Hi, Today I am going to explain a Korean fantasy film
called “The Miracle.” Spoilers ahead! Watch out and take care!
The story surrounds a pair of opposite twins; Su-mi and Ri-Na. Su-mi is shy and likes to spend
time locked up in her room. She is also overweight and has no self-confidence. As a hobby, she sings
on live streams under the name Sexy Diva. Over the years, she has accumulated many fans and followers
but no one has ever seen her face. Every time she goes live, the comments assume how pretty
she must be but Su-mi knows that if she shows her face, her popularity will rapidly decline.
In contrast, her sister Ri-Na lives the dream of every young Korean girl. She is the visual of a
popular girl group; Miracle girls. She is signed to a label and has millions of fans worldwide.
Known for her beauty and dance, Ri-Na hardly knows how to sing. Still, she is the most popular
member of the group. Her bandmates do not like her because she is arrogant and rude. One day, their
manager informs them that Ri-Na has been called to film a commercial video with a popular male singer
Hae-Seong. The other girls are disappointed since Ri-Na gets more opportunities than them
even though they are much better singers. Later that day, a couple of reporters come
to the girls’ home to interview Ri-Na’s family. However, Ri-Na asks Su-mi to stay
in her room during the interview, ashamed of her looks. When asked if she has any siblings,
Ri-Na claims that her elder sister studies abroad and is rarely home. Su-mi hates her sister because
of her unlikeable personality. Despite being twins, they do not share anything about their
lives with each other and are always arguing. One thing that Su-mi despises more than her sister
is her school. Her classmates bully her so much that she always keeps a count of the days left
to graduate. Unfortunately for her, the group of bullies also has a popular guy named Gyo-Seok,
who she is madly in love with. Last year around the same time, Su-mi had decided to
confess her feelings to Gyo-Seok and bought him a gift. But the bullies caught her with
it and read the love letter out loud. Su-mi still hasn’t gotten over the embarrassment of
being rejected in front of everyone but her feelings for Gyo-Seok haven't changed.
Somewhere else, Ri-Na goes to the set of the commercial and meets a fellow idol, Hae-Seong.
He is even more arrogant than Ri-Na and likes to think of himself as a musician more than an
entertainer. Knowing that Ri-Na is only famous for her looks, he is extremely rude to her. Ri-Na acts
as the director asks her to, but to Hae-Seong, the concept of the commercial sounds dumb. He refuses
to take part in it and leaves his manager to do the damage control. Because of his pickiness,
Ri-Na is also removed from the commercial. She returns home crying and cursing at him.
Meanwhile, Su-mi is hanging out in their front yard with their family dog. When she
isn’t looking, it runs outside the house and disappears. Su-mi spends the entire day looking
for it and finds an older woman unconscious on the ground. She takes it upon herself to carry
the poor woman to her house. Impressed by her kindness, the woman brings her inside and reveals
that she is a tarot reader. On being asked to pick a tarot card, Su-mi chooses the rarest
one of them all. According to the woman, it is supposed to grant her a wish. Although skeptical,
Su-mi thinks of exchanging lives with her sister. But then, she changes her mind and asks for the
ability to never gain weight. The woman gives her a necklace as a present before seeing her off.
While returning home with her dog, Su-mi suddenly passes out. At the same time,
Ri-Na, who is in the middle of a dance rehearsal also falls unconscious.
When the sisters wake up, they are by each other’s beds in a hospital. Strangely enough,
their mother calls them by different names. Confused, they look at each other and are
shocked to see that they have somehow exchanged their bodies. They immediately run outside and
hit their heads with a rock, trying to switch back but the stupid idea doesn’t work. While
brainstorming other plans, Su-mi’s eyes land upon the necklace the tarot reader gave her earlier.
She remembers that she had subconsciously asked to exchange life with her sister,
and rushes to the lady’s house. On reaching the place, they find out that the lady has
gone on a vacation and will only return after a month. The news is devastating for both sisters
who will now have to live as the person they hate the most for the next month.
To adjust to their new life, they tell each other the dos and don’ts of their day-to-day life.
Su-mi is asked to be rude to everyone, eat less, and practice the dance that their girl group has
been rehearsing. But Ri-Na only has to exist and be quiet to be like her sister. The following day,
they wear each other’s clothes, exchange their phones, and get ready for the day.
Ri-Na goes to the school, eating a box of snacks she would have never eaten in her previous body.
She is not worried about being switched and considers it as a free one-month vacation
from her usually busy lifestyle. But that is until a group of bullies stops her. Gyo-Seok
snatches the box and makes fun of her for liking him. Ri-Na wants to teach them all a
lesson but remembers that Su-mi would never do something like that and keeps quiet.
Meanwhile, Su-mi goes to the company for a final rehearsal of their comeback show.
Being the most popular one in the group, she is given the prettiest clothes and the first
priority. However, when it is time to perform, she gets nervous and messes up the dance. Hae-Seong,
who is watching the performance, laughs at her lack of talent. After the rehearsals, they will
have to perform live. Nervousness gets the best of Su-mi and she breaks down crying in the bathroom.
She holds the necklace and wishes to do her best in the final performance. Lo and behold,
when she finally has to perform, she doesn’t forget a single step. However, the main vocalist
and her rival forget the lyrics in the middle of the live broadcast. To help her, Su-mi sings in
her place and steals the show. Even Hae-Seong is surprised to hear her actually singing well.
After the show, she accidentally falls into his arms. Unlike Ri-Na, Su-mi is mesmerized by his
beauty. He puts her down before going to the stage and performing a song while Su-mi stares at him
in endearment. At home, Ri-Na is mad that Su-mi sang well because after going back to her body,
people will expect her to do the same. Su-mi promises to do her worse the next time but then,
Hae-Seong texts her, asking her to record a duet with him. Ri-Na remembers him being
arrogant the last time and wants Su-mi to do her best and teach him a lesson.
At school, Ri-Na discovers Su-mi’s journal and reads it. She soon finds out what her sister goes
through on a daily basis because of the bullies. The next time she bumps into them, she makes
sure to insult one of the girls’ makeup. When the girl tries to slap her, Ri-Na restricts her hand,
surprising everyone. Gyo-Seok comes forward to humiliate her for liking him for the hundredth
time but Ri-Na, in turn, calls him ugly and walks away. He is left stunned by the sudden personality
change and even finds it attractive. At the same time in the company, Hae-Seong
texts Su-mi to come to the rooftop. He apologizes for being rude to her during the commercial
and discusses what song they should duet. They seem to have similar taste in music which makes
it easier to choose. In the end, Hae-Seong pulls her into an embrace, asking her out on a date.
In the following scene, the couple is in the studio, mixing and recording the song. While
listening to the end result, they end up kissing. At home, the sisters sit down to
talk about their day. Since both of them did things the other one wouldn’t approve of,
they lie to each other. Ri-Na is distressed that they still have fifteen days to switch their
bodies but Su-mi has started falling in love with Hae-Seong and doesn’t feel like changing.
Before going to sleep, she wishes that the tarot reader never comes back from the vacation.
Starting the next day, she meets Hae-Seong on the rooftop every chance she gets. She enjoys
the little time they have together to the fullest. Meanwhile, Ri-Na continues reading
Su-mi’s journal. A flashback shows us that Su-mi had gone for several musical show auditions.
She was recognized for her talent but only during blind auditions. Many directors would
bluntly call her names and dismiss her talent because of her looks. This makes Ri-Na realize
how unfair the world is to the so-called ugly people. Her classmates, who usually bully her,
are dancing to her song during recess. When Ri-Na laughs at them, they challenge her to do the
same. She surprises everyone by performing better than all of them. Gyo-Seok starts
looking at her differently after the incident. The next day, Su-mi is using Hae-Seong’s computer
when she finds out that he watches her singing live streams. It gives her hope that he might
like her even when she goes back to her normal body. At the same time, Ri-Na is going through
Su-mi’s computer. She finds the Sexy diva live stream channel and accidentally starts a stream
with her face in front of the webcam. Several comments flood in, making fun of her looks and
she loses many of her subscribers. At night, Su-mi cries herself to sleep,
wishing to the necklace that everyone forgets about the live stream. The following morning,
the live stream is gone and no one is talking about it, almost as if it never existed. Even
Ri-Na doesn’t remember going live. Su-mi figures out that the necklace is not ordinary, it has
been granting all of her wishes till now. Throughout the day, she tests the power of the
necklace and the wish comes true every time. But she also realizes that every time she is granted a
wish, someone in her life suffers the consequence. Like, when she asks for the food of her choice,
Hae-Seong’s new song is accused of plagiarism. Similarly, when he messes up a live performance,
she wishes for him to pick it right up. The wish is granted but a crew
member is severely injured as a consequence. The next day, Gyo-Seok locks himself in a studio,
saddened by the plagiarism scandal. Su-mi goes to meet him and the two finish recording their duet
song together. In the following scene, Ri-Na is excited because the thirty days are finally over.
The sisters go to the tarot reader’s house but see that she has still not returned. Su-mi thinks
that it is because she once unknowingly wished for her to never return. She yet
again wishes for the reader to be back soon. As a consequence of the wish, a dating rumor about her
and Hae-Seong is spread in the media. Ri-Na finds out about the rumor
and is furious. They get into a fistfight in the middle of a parking lot and have to
be separated by Hae-Seong. He pushes Ri-Na to the ground, asking her to stay away. However,
the gesture makes Su-mi believe that he is only in love with Ri-Na’s pretty face.
The next day, Su-mi visits the tarot reader again and finds out from her daughter that she
passed away because of a disease. The girl also reveals that to reverse a wish,
one must hold the necklace and genuinely wish for them to switch back to their bodies.
If either of the girls does not actually mean it, the wish won’t be granted. On finally finding
a way to go back, Ri-Na is overjoyed but the same cannot be said for Su-mi. Seeing that her
sister is bothered, Ri-Na reveals that Hae-Seong used to hate her when she was in her own body.
This means, currently, he is not in love with Ri-Na’s face, but with Su-mi’s personality.
Following the conversation, the girls make a wish as the tarot reader has told but nothing
changes. Then, the following day, Su-mi and Ri-Na meet in front of the company for work.
Ri-Na is about to be hit by a car but Su-mi puts her life in danger and saves her. When
they wake up in the hospital, they have switched back to their original bodies.
The doctor who is in charge of them looks exactly like the tarot reader.
She explains that Su-mi is the elder sister and the protector of the younger one. Since
she fulfilled her purpose by saving Ri-Na from the accident, they were able to switch back.
In the following scene, Ri-Na breaks up with Hae-Seong, claiming that she doesn’t want to lose
brand deals by being seen with him. In reality, dating her sister’s love is unacceptable to her.
The bully Gyo-Seok also apologizes to Su-mi and expresses that he has
started to like her. But she rejects him since she is in love with Hae-Seong.
A few weeks later, Hae-Seong organizes a musical audition. Ri-Na brings the forms to Su-mi,
encouraging her to participate. Su-mi gathers enough courage to go to the audition,
mostly because she wants to look at Hae-Seong one more time. She sings the song they dueted together
and impresses everyone.
In the last scene, we see Su-mi and Hae-Seong recording a song together,
indicating that she got selected in the audition.
