A real gem

I love when Chani plays lighthearted roles where he gets to show his talent as a comedic actor. His timing is perfect, he’s so attractive, charming, sexy, confident and natural, he enjoys the hell out of this part.

‘Miracle’ is a rare example of a show where you can root not only for the two main leads, but for anyone because the chemistry of the whole cast is phenomenal. Sorin’s parents are wonderful and the bond they form with Luice is one of my favorite things about the show.

Chani and Hwiyoung are hilarious, their real life friendship translates to the screen so well, and their scenes are the funniest because they’re so comfortable with each other. You want Luice and Siwoo to end up together, they are extremely entertaining. The show is full of SF9 references, fans of the group and Chani and Hwiyoung will have great time watching it.

Kang Min-ah and Chani share the sweetest and most memorable moments together (the first meeting, the suit scene, the fanfic etc,.). Their emotional connection feels so real and powerful, their playfulness, the small details, the line delivery and the facial expressions make simplest scene look special. They are one of the best on-screen couples I’ve ever seen.

Although the lead male character is an idol, 'Miracle' is very different from other shows about idols. It's a slapstick comedy, a clever satire, with a big chunk of irony and self-irony. It makes fun of the k-pop clichés, but it also has its serious dramatic moments and shows that idol life is not easy and actually very sad. You have to sacrifice a lot to work in this industry. It's a high quality production with beautiful cinematography and set design, I really like the cute episode title cards that pop up here and there. The soundtrack includes two solo songs by Chani ('Shining Star' and 'Forever Love') and 'Milky Way' that Kang Min-ah, Chani and Hwiyoung sing together. Plus, there's Chani's solo version of ''詩; 00:00'' by SF9 that he sings on stage at one point.

It's a 14-episodes show, there are no filler scenes, it's not overlong, the pacing is good, everything is well-written and well-connected. The characters are multidimensional, we see how their relationship grow and develop into something much bigger and more important than a love triangle. And you can be romantic in so many different ways. One scene in the laundromat between Luice and Sorin speaks louder than ten kisses.

I love the ending so much, it makes sense, and the lyrics of the song ''Milky Way''that we hear at the end summarise everything perfectly. It's so rare to see this kind of an ending. And I think it's super romantic.
