Miracle in Cell No.7

Miracle in cell is one of the best Korean movie in 2013 that attract the attention of many people because of the story is great and touching. This drama movie can make the audience cries. This movie tells about the father Lee Yong-Gu (Ryu Seung-ryong) who is very love and close with his daughter Ye sung (Kal so won).

Lee Yong-Gu is a 38 old man who has mentally handicapped, he is a father who love his daughter very much and would give anything for his daughter, Ye sung. Ye sung is 6 years old pretty girl but she doesn’t like another children. She manage everything that she and her father needs because her father has mentally handicapped. Someday Lee Yong-Gu involved in a case. He was prison because of allegations of sexual abuse and child abduction of a girl. The father of the dead girl is also the chief police commissioner. The girl was buy a Sailor moon bag that wanted by Ye sung. When Lee Yong-Gu was working, the commissioner’s daughter come to visit him to tell the shop which sell the same Sailor moon bag as desired by Ye sung. When they are on the way to the store, the girl had an accident and died, so that Yong-Gu was accused of being the killer though he is not guilty.

Yong-Gu was jailed and he got into the 7^th cell with another prisoner on it. In the beginning Yong-Gu’s cellmates treat him bad, but because he is a kind person then they treat Yong-Gu well. Those people are the source of the funny and give comedy material in this movie. Yong-Gu’s cellmates also help him to meet his daughter, so that Ye sung can meet her father in cell. That incident had known by head of jailer and Yong-Gu gets a heavy punishment. Young-Gu also make everyone around him realize that he is a kind person. This time he helps the head of jailer from the calamity and the head of jailor realize that he has wrong perception about Yong-Gu, he feels that he has an owe to Yong-Gu. The head of jailer try to find the truth and he found the fact that Yong-Gu absolutely not guilty.

The head of jailer and the 7^th cell prisoner help Yong-Gu to face the court his last decision but Yong-Gu still got death penalty. At the last seconds before the death execution Yong-Gu met and he said to his daughter that everything gonna be okay. Ye sung was very sad because she will lose his father forever. That scene has a deep impression and makes me drop my tears. Several years later Ye sung grow older (Park Shin Hye) and she was a lawyer.

This is a drama movie that pure and simple. It is the deep and palpable love keenly story between father and daughter or between Yong-Gu and his cellmates. This movie can be watched by all ages and have a lot of lessons. Although Yong-Gu has mentally handicapped but Ye sung still love and care to her father. Yong-Gu keep doing kind although at first he didn’t treat well. This movie can make you laugh and cry. Every emotional moments feels engineered to fill our hearts and make us cries. I think the miracle not come for Yong-Gu but it comes to his cellmates who become better people. Yong-Gu is a wonderful man and an even better father for Ye sung.
