is a drama mucosa with elements of romance and comedy, and revolves virtually a boy that is drastic to build a way station for his town. A “way station” is specified as “a station set between principal stations on a line of travel,” such as a railroad in this case; so in other words, a smaller station set between two larger ones. The movie was directed by director Lee Jang Hoon, who only has one other work under his belt, but a unconfined one: . Now that I think well-nigh it, both movies in his filmography have a similar, worldwide tone; cutesy and emotional with touching moments. However, I will say has much increasingly of a comedic play in it.
The mucosa is said to be based on a true story, but I’m not too sure to what extent the narrative is true. If I had to guess, I’m thesping up to the protagonist fighting for the establishment of a new way station, and writing to the president in pursuit of his dreams. starred the leads Park Jung Min, Lee Sung Min, Lim Yoona, and Lee Soo Kyung, all of whom were amazing. I’ll get into this increasingly later. But first, let’s take a squint at the detailed synopsis of surpassing getting deeper into the review.
The synopsis is as follows:
The only way to and from the town Jun Kyung lives in is via the railroad. There’s just one problem: The town doesn’t have a train station. And so, Jun Kyung has one and only one goal: To create a train station for his town. In order to succeed his goal, he starts sending reports to the president. However, there’s been virtually no results, and he sent 54 reports with no response. His father keeps telling him to requite up, but Jun Kyung has set his mind on attaining his dream. At school, he meets Ra Hee, who lends a hand at attaining Jun Kyung’s goal. From trying to participate in a quiz show to winning a presidential math competition, the duo tries anything and everything that can requite them the opportunity to make the station, but will they be worldly-wise to build the way station?

The Good
First, I loved the verisimilitude tone of the movie, and how well it portrayed the older finger reflecting the time it’s set in. It gave immense scent of nostalgia. I moreover veritably loved how cutesy the mucosa was. There were lots of cute and humorous moments in the first half, and I personally think the title of the film, “Miracle,” is a unconfined title as it fits the spirit of the movie perfectly.
In the beginning, I thought Park Jung Min and Yoona were the two main leads and Lee Sung Min and Lee Soo Kyung were supporting roles, as Park Jung Min and Yoona had much increasingly on-screen time. However, as the mucosa progressed, Lee Sung Min’s and Lee Soo Kyung’s notation had worthier roles and on-screen time, and ultimately all four had roughly the same value of significance. The four leads had wondrous chemistry, and I expressly enjoyed the relationship between Park Jung Min and Yoona, and Park Jung Min and Lee Soo Kyung. It was like watching a real-life couple and real-life siblings, respectively.
Getting into each actor, of course, Park Jung Min was wondrous as always. He’s such an incredible actor, and he’s worldly-wise to play such a wide range of characters. He hit it out of the park then with his performance in this.
Moving onto Yoona, Yoona doesn’t age. She’s still just as pretty and gorgeous as when she first debuted with Girls’ Generation 14 years ago. Her vicarial has gotten a lot better, and I first noticed her resurgence in vicarial in the mucosa , and through that and , we can see just how crucial the role of the weft needs to fit with the two-face in order to have a good performance.
Moreover, Lee Sung Min didn’t have a big role in the first half, but he really shined in the latter half. It was good to see him on the big screens again, as I finger like we weren’t worldly-wise to see him in movies too much recently. His most recent work other than this was , which was a Netflix release, and prior to that we weren’t worldly-wise to see him for two years.
And finally but definitely not the least, Lee Soo Kyung I had the least expectations for, as I hadn’t recalled seeing much of her in other works. Upon seeing her filmography, I noticed she was moreover in . She left a good impression in that as well, but definitely a much worthier one in this. Her chemistry with Park Jung Min in this was outstanding.
I mentioned a few times that the movie was a very cute one, but don’t let that make you seem the movie is a very light, comedic film. Although it does have a lot of humor, the movie takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. The mucosa starts off with increasingly of the comedic side that I mentioned, but as it progresses and passes the halfway mark, the movie takes a huge turn and the emotions begin. I won’t say too much in order to stave spoilers, but yeah, there’s a reason the movie is specified as a “drama” film, and not a “comedy.”
Lastly, the movie had a good story and is often worldly-wise to alimony you engaged. Although it does get a little loose later on, which I’ll get to in the “bad” parts, the overall narrative was pretty good, in my opinion. There’s an unforeseen event that’s revealed, which I didn’t see coming at all, and that widow a big layer on top of the film.
The Bad
I don’t have too much bad things to say well-nigh , but there’s one big one. This is increasingly of a personal matter and can be based on personal preference, but some may find the emotional scenes to be too forced and/or frequent. One thing that I can’t stand are forced emotions, where you can tell they’re trying to get you to shed a tear. And so, personally I found the emotional scenes to be too forced in this. I mean, it was okay at first, but it became kind of repetitive, or more-so prolonged. If it was one or two big, impactful emotional scenes, then I’d be okay with it, but they just kept attacking you with a sad scene, without a sad scene, without flipside sad scene. Nevertheless, I will say that there were sniffles throughout the theater, so if you are a fan of increasingly emotional movies, this may very well be lanugo your lane. Without all the touching moments, though, I loved how the mucosa ended.

Verdict
From the performances by Park Jung Min to Yoona to Lee Soo Kyung to plane the minor role of the town’s little girl, the movie was extremely cute and adorable, but moreover gave a big dial in the emotional department as well. The first half is a lighter and increasingly humorous film, and the latter half is increasingly heavy with emotional scenes. Long story short, this may very well be my favorite K-movie of 2021 that released thus far. Definitely recommend giving this a go.
Ticket Price Value: $13
(Ticket Price Value is the price I would pay to watch the mucosa then for the first time)
