    I loved it was a great romantic comedy!!!
    8srijasingh-41746

    Great for a quick binge.

    Definitely binge worthy!! The length of the episode and the quick moving plot make it an easy and fun watch. Also, despite the levity of delivery, the core message was a good one- love yourself first! I also liked that they brought up the idea of 'pretty privilege', it's definitely real! Also, obesity is complex, it's physiological, psychological and emotional, amongst other things... it was good to see the pretty sister realise that. There was definitely a bit of overacting, but it went okay with the flow of the story.

    I could also relate to this to a certain extent coz I have a prettier sister, and I love her more than anything. Sisters are your god given best friends, love them.

    🎧 Sista Twista ❕Tween Alert❕ °7.7° °So Cute°

    Shi-ah/🅰 (Kim Na Hyun from I Started Following & Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938) and Shi-yeon/¥ (Hong Yoon Hwa from Wok of Love) are fraternal twins. 🅰 is a mean girl, ¥ is a lost girl. 🅰 is perfect, beautiful, in a dance group, and has 3-million-with-an-"M" followers on social media, while ¥ is obese and rarely leaves her room. During a "family" interview with 🅰, ¥ is cloistered in her room. They won't reveal the embarrassing, ugly sister to the general public! When out of her room, ¥ tries to slip by at school without being noticed. She's counting the days til graduation. In HS, the sisters never see eachother; partly because ¥ is in self-imposed solitary confinement. When they do come across eachother, they're always 2 terse syllables away from triggering a fight.

    The Miracle is a short Kromcom consisting of 12 15-minute episodes (about the length of Avengers: Endgame). If you're used to watching Kdramas with episodes that can be easily north of 90 minutes, this goes so quickly it's jolting. It is perfect for tweens and teens. It grabs the viewer right away, it has a positive message, and it's as cute & sweet as a kitten shaped lollipop. These kids can act. Kdramas spotlight one child actor after another who are just spectacular, and these girls are no exception. Everything's pretty in the show without being overdone. Not a high budget feature, it still flows seamlessly without ever calling too much attention to itself, its sets, or its costumes. It's all a clean canvas for the human story, which is the star of this feature.

    While 🅰, the beautiful sister, is out leading a glamorous life, ¥ walks through the neighborhood looking for her lost dog. There's a lady flat on her face in the grass! She pulls her up, dusts her off, and takes her back home. This beldam does a card-reading as a "thank you". One thing leads to another... ¥ leaves the shop with a wish granted and a magic talisman necklace. Then tomorrow comes. Each sister collapses simultaneously. When they wake up, they've switched bodies. They did NOT switch personalities.

    Switching bodies means switching lives. School, career... each has alot on the line. Now each has to be the heroine in her sister's life, Girl group? Dancing? How can ¥ do that? Fortunately, she's been dancing in her room. She knows all the moves. What ¥ doesn't know is that everybody hates her sister. 🅰 isn't the kindest. But ¥ is a sweetie - she isn't the least bit hateable. At the dance gig, ¥ lays eyes on the male teen idol. She would never have a chance with him. But maybe she does in 🅰's body... 🅰, in the meantime, has to go to school as the shy, fat girl. She steps into an environment where everybody mocks her sister. Well~~> 🅰 doesn't take much to mocking. She is going to shake everything up. What will people think?

    That's what the show is about. TM reinforces the value of inner beauty and shows how cruelly people (still!) treat those they consider unattractive or beneath them. No matter how much we all preach against it, this is a common human failing. Think of it like taking your vitamins, the work is never done. When the sister swap occurs, 🅰 is able to experience ¥'s miserable life. They have to switch rooms, so 🅰 ends up reading ¥'s diary. She imbibes the excruciating humiliation and the utter hopelessness that her sister's been feeling.

    The show reinforces that inner beauty with confidence and courage are what harmonizes a life best. 🅰 had the looks, but over time, she became an ugly person. ¥ is regularly called ugly in the show, but she's kind, sensitive, thoughtful, and has the voice of an angel. {Per Hong Yoon Hwa's bio, she's an actress and comedian but not a singer. She's convincing with the lip syncing, though} ¥'s first interaction with an outsider in TM is when she's helping a woman who's in need. Sadly, she's relegated her best qualities to the emotional prison of low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is a form of self-absorption. It's not healthy, and it's not okay. Any person too wrapped up in h/herself will become miserable. Finally, while confidence is the key, too much confidence leads to arrogance. It should always be tempered with humility because there's always somebody out there smarter, better looking, and more talented than you are, then I am. Overconfidence is living a lie, and is toxic not only to oneself, but also to everyone else.

    Confidence, in healthy doses, is always the sexiest thing, but ¥ would never be able to find it on her own. Parents of unattractive children need to love and emotionally nourish them more, yet studies show that /even parents/ love and respect unattractive kids /less/! Children in danger of being ostracized over looks (or anything else) need to be handled tools by which to survive. We had a kind-hearted kid in our life who experienced some bullying at school. It's nothing unusual. When we talked about what one boy was saying to hurt his feelings, we worked on some comebacks. Fortunately, it worked like a wonder. Not everybody's a natural humorist but humor is the best diffuser, and humor can be learned. We told him to not defend himself, just make a joke out of it. He was able to do that. (I'm still working on this. Watching your charges surpass you is certainly a thrill).

    Sibling relationships are also examined. Now that the girls must interact once again, they start to recall the fun they had when they were kids. In the run of these 12 episodes, ¥ does NOT lose any weight, even though the looks-oriented 🅰 is in her body. In fact, 🅰 can't stop eating when she's in ¥'s body. At first, like on a holiday, she enjoys eating everything in sight, to our amusement. She tries to go out and exercise. When she passes an open restaurant with the food displayed out front, exercise is over. "I can't stop these cravings!," she moans.

    The experience broadens their perspectives and gives them a new view on life. They each come out better for it. ¥ is able to gather the pluck to show at a music audition. 🅰 gave her the info witha threat: "You had better go, I pulled a lot of strings for this." They end up improving eachother's lives. ¥, the sweetheart, makes friends out of 🅰's enemies. Chubby or not, 🅰 still has that confidence and she puts ¥'s enemies in their place - DOWN.

    The show is amusing. While there weren't laugh-out-loud lines, I grinned through the whole thing. One of the cutest scenes is day 1 of the switcheroo. 🅰 hands a shirt to ¥ and says "Wear this". ¥ looks at it and comments on how it looks like children's clothes.

    Whether the clothes fit or not, TM will definitely fit into your family viewing time.

    QUOTE🗣 I guess not everyone can fit in children's clothes
