And i was wondering when jichangwook see yoona cooked ramen happily.
I thought that was the first time he start care with yoona ????
That was the most akward scene ever.
It would be better to have less romance, focus on the plot.
And more revenge with concspiracy.
But i still watch it till the end to appreciate the hardwork of jichangwook.

I don't know if I like the theme or not. The theme was pretty dark and the delivery was quite... unnerving. My humanity made me hope for better things but, just like life, the film chooses not to. What made me despondent the most was the apparent definiteness in their lives. There were some parts I had to skip because I couldn't take the scene. It shows the characters' brutal reality and maybe some real people's lives, as well. It's sickening for us but it is reality for some people. The plot is solid all through out, it didn't drag on some parts and transitions between scenes were seamless. However, I would've wanted to see some background on the other "children" of Mother because there were some implied connections between the characters but it was never really explored. The movie held up on its own even without those but it would've at least made it easier understand why these characters opted to act that way.
The real star of this movie is the cast. Not just the leads but the entirety of the cast. Each member of the family depicted their parts well. Though at the beginning of the movie, I thought Kim Go Eun looked awkward but then I realized it was because I kept on associating her with her character on Goblin, which was a complete opposite of Il Young. Also, Miss Kim Hye Soo never disappoints. I've seen her in different movies and I'm amazed by her versatility as an actress, along with Kim Go Eun, of course. Jo Hyun Chul, though I have only seen him in this movie, was great as Hong Joo, he was believable as the mentally impaired child.
The music were mostly scores and I thought it complemented the scene very well, in fact, I did not even notice it. It was as important as the visual was. Though the visuals and the story was great. It's not something I would want to watch again. It was brilliant but it was too heartbreaking.
On the side note, credit should also be given to the make-up crew for the wonderful job on Miss Kim Hye Soo. The close-ups showed the face of a weathered "CEO" of a loaning "company".

This story is focused on two characters: a young woman whose passion is knowing about fabrics and who moves to Ginza to start a job in an atelier (played by Kiritani Mirei) and a middle aged woman with a great career in the designing world and high standards for quality in the lingerie she creates (amazingly portrayed by Mao Daichi). When you see it at first glance, you might think it will turn into a The Devil Wears Prada scenario, and when the series itself starts with an argument on why do women try to look beautiful all the time, I feared this was going to be another drama in which the younger generation has to learn the traditions and cave in, even though they don’t agree with things (I’m watching HOPE at the same time, you see), but this drama surprised me greatly.
The main relationship in this series is the one between these two characters, who have two different ideas of what beauty really is and of what a woman wants to feel to be more like herself. There isn’t much romance in it (and whatever hints there are, they aren’t the focus) and it isn’t solely focused on the young character making her way through the world, there’s plenty about the perspective on mature women in the fashion business and how they are perceived at certain ages and what that means for them (mainly in the character of Nanjo Mayumi), on how competition between women is sought for and turns out being detrimental to all involved (for example with Fumika, Mizuki and Sarii, among others) and how, even in positions of power earned by hard work, women still don't have the freedom to choose as much as they would want to (like the editor and the reporter of Conscious Magazine).
My favorite thing is that they don’t talk about beauty as a single concept. Yes, the lead has to go through the process of looking less rough and more fashionable, and she also has to start getting along with how the fashion industry works, but there’s a lot here on creativity, integrity, customer importance, self expression and the painstaking task of being a woman who wants to succeed solo in Japanese society and the isolation that can create when it becomes opposed to the personal life they’re supposed to carry on with (aka husband and kids).
I didn’t give this one a rating as high as Mondai No Aru Restaurant because I feel there’s more stuff that could have been addressed and wasn’t (for example, I felt that the lead's relationship with one of the female models had more chemistry than with the couple guys they tried to hint some sort of thing with, that could have gone places), whereas Mondai No Aru Restaurant covered a lot of aspects with their story, but this is certainly another one of those great ones and I hope there’s more like these in the future. After so many naive and mistreated leading ladies with jerk male leads with inexcusable behaviors, I really needed a drama like this, in which female characters showcase their true worth.

What i like about this drama:
1. It has a very kind hearted male lead, OMG, i think this is the best male lead character in k-drama!!!
He is so sweet and he loves to help others, not only to his woman but to everyone.
I always adore this kind of character even in real life!! He is also very matured that's why he can get along with a 39 years old woman :D
2. There is no evil villain who tries to kill main leads
3. Very light romantic comedy very fun to watch
4. So many sweet stuff between the main leads
5. Damn funny especially in the beginning of this dramas
6. I like strong successful female lead with a killer personality like ji yeon
7. OMG park seo joon is damn sexy and hot here
8. Their chemistry is all over the place!! I don't find their age gap is weird because their chemistry is so strong and everything seems natural to watch.
9. Hot sizzling kiss between main leads, i never really like kiss in kdramas because it seems awkward and forced but their make out scene is damn hot, natural yet funny
10. There are many lessons to learn from this drama because it's quite relatable
What i don't like:
Almost nothing that i don't like, maybe if i want to be nit picky, perhaps the middle of the episodes when the photojournalist return, it's a bit draggy, i'm also a bit sad coz there are so little funny moments, but i do understand her decision coz i also have a friend who took back her ex despite of so much chemistry between her and her current bf, coz in r/s we need to think about logic and reality not only heart, but anyway the r/s with her ex is not working out well for her since it has become as dry as salted fish and my friend learns her lesson well, in my friend's case, she lost the current bf already, and she cannot have the same feel with her ex thus she broke up with him. Too bad coz i never seen her happier with guys other than her current bf that time, i also dun understand why she choose her ex back, i guess r/s is complicated. She wants to get married soon coz her ex already proposed her and wanted to get married.
In this show, dong ha still wait for her, it's so sweet, i don't know whether in real life there is a guy like that though. I think it's too good to be true hahaha.
All in all, i like this show.

There's nothing unique about this. Its story has been brought to life many times and it suffers from classic kdrama tropes. However, you'll barely notice at only 15 minutes per episode. The cast is ok, I didn't exactly come prepared with high expectations but they're not awful. They're on par with most idol-led dramas like Dream High or Monstar. The music of course shines and a couple of different tracks are featured.
Overall I'd say go ahead and watch The Miracle! You'll only lose a few hours of your day and it is a nice break from other longer and more serious dramas.

I recommend this just because it's so entertaining to watch. I especially recommend it if one of your biases is featured in an episode and odds are they probably are because what a line-up!
Story-wise, I thought Ok Taec Yeon's was the funniest and the best. Kai's noona storyline was cute as well. Subjectively, I liked Ji Chang Wook's because I'm biased and it gave me 'Healer' vibes all over again.
Music is lighthearted and the theme song is sang by Ji Chang Wook!
Like I said earlier, it's a purely fun watch so don't expect great stories. After all, didn't we all come here to see our favorite biases? I know I did!

The main girl of the drama Renee is a bit different from other girls in dramas. She's very dirty lol, not self conscious at all around Dash in fact she's really comfortable with him.
They start off as an adorable friendship and their chemistry is amazing. I really hope to see them together again.
The music was nice too because it's both the mains singing in real life.
As for rewatch able I would say YES because it's cute and short and really easy to rewatch again

This show is amazing! It really makes you think about complex concepts such as love, marriage, and roles of men and women in a relationship. Through out the show each character has an interesting development and by the end of it, they have grown as individuals. With the Mikuri-Hiramasa couple, I liked the idea of portraying marriage like a business where everyone in the family is important and that their roles matter. It's an interesting approach to the topic. I like that love is factored into it all towards the end. They first work on their own issues and then re-think their views on marriage, household roles, duties of a husband and wife, etc. None of it seems fake and ridiculous and they work out an equivalent exchange.
I also enjoyed watching how the Yuri-Ryouta relationship evolved. With these two, the writers bring up issues of aging, women's insecurities about age, women who put their career first, good-looking men viewed as players, men liking younger women, etc. It makes think about stereotypical views that society has for us and helps you re-evaluate those ideas.
What I absolutely LOVED about the show is how each character has their views about equality and how they come to an understanding together through compromises and thoughtfulness. And the funny points in the show had me rolling on my bed from laughter. The comedic moments were actually pretty damn hilarious! :D
The acting was superb! The male lead definitely deserves an award for acting out this role. It must have been difficult to pull off! I would have given this show a 10/10 but that opening song hurt my ears. I did enjoy the ending theme song and dance though.
Overall rating: 9/10.

La storia mi è piaciuta meno, troppo esasperata e a tratti certe scene erano un po' contraddittorie ma capisco che i drama sono anche questo (eccedere fino a stressare lo spettatore) ma qui si notano molto i cambiamenti attitudinali dei protagonisti e mi ha infastidito.
10 agli attori, 8 alla storia

I knew I was watching a show, but these women were so incredibly natural in their roles I never was looking at them as actor's portraying a character. Especially the two youngest ones. I looked them and man are those two good actresses. Total transformation.
This was great. We know the world round there is an issue with men being valued over women to a very high degree. But it has been a long-time thing in China. This drama was addressing along with so many other things. They cast it well and wrote it well. It was not hard at all to discern between the characters. They were all well fleshed out. You could relate to some tie some back to people you've dealt with in your life. There were natural ups and downs just like we experience in life.
I can say I did a lot of involuntary crying on this one. I also laughed a lot, and got angry. I was frustrated and confused. I seriously feel like I know 5 additional people now. I can predict how they'll possibly respond or actions they make take. Such sorcery in writing.
This is not your typical Chinese drama. It's definitely different and deserves all the praise for telling a great story while tackling important issues.

Tbh, TVB, everyone says this already but compared to your older dramas, its honestly getting worse and WORSE. I gave it a chance, it had a fair start, and was funny, but what the heck happened towards the end?? I find that I feel like this to quite a lot of your dramas these days (the ones i manage to finish)
TVB, I gave you a chance, I wanted to like it, i really wanted to, but i can't stand it.
Honestly, if i could give it a rewatch value of 0, i would.
