Miracle In Cell No. 7 [Korean movie]

I recently watched the movie “Miracle In Cell No. 7” and it was absolutely beautiful. The end made me cry.

The cover makes it look like some wacky “Three Stooges”-like comedy, but it’s not. It’s this incredibly touching drama about a mentally disabled man, Yong-goo, being sent to prison for rape and murder of a little girl. It’s a crime that he didn’t commit, but the system works against him and there’s no one to help him when he’s railroaded by the police. Once in prison, he bonds with his cell mates and through him they are all bettered in some way — rehabilitated.

What makes this such a powerful movie is Yong-goo’s young daughter Ye-seung. Gal So-Won’s acting was amazing for such a little girl. I really believed that Ye-Seung was desperate to see her father and was joyous just to be with him.

This was an amazingly good movie and I can’t recommend it enough. Seriously, this movie really got to me. It was so funny and touching and sad.

  1. Because of your review, I really want to watch this story! But i can’t find it anywhere with English subtitles, legally or grey legally! Crunchyroll, Netflix.ca, YouTube, nowhere! Where did you watch it?
