10/10

Gi-juk is based on a.true story about a train station in a small village. The story will give you a heartwarming effect while you watching it. Beginning of the story will make you laugh, but when you reach the conflict of the movie you'll cry a lot (prepare your tissue before). Each of the character are attractive, but you'll remember bo-kyeong in your heart even after the movie ended because for me she is the main star. Park jeongmin played as Joon-Kyeong soo good, the emotions burst out from his eyes, yoona played as Ra-hee she'll make you laugh a lot! But all of the actors played their character excellent. I dont have any comment for the plot because its beautiful! Make sure to watch it, there won't be any regret.

Smartly written, composed, and acted out

A main character has dynamic relationships with his girlfriend, his sister, his father, and his townspeople. The more relationship the central character carries, the richer and more interesting the story becomes. However, if not written delicately, the whole movie can become messy. 'Miracle' centers around each relationship chronically so the storyline can be maintained in organized manner. First, it starts with Jun-kyung building friendship and romantic relationship with La-hee. Then, it is revealed that his sister is dead in the accident that happened when he was young, and he cannot let her go since then. Finally, what really happened unravels, and he mends the relationship with his father. One step at a time, so there is no need to worry about it being messy.

Performance of four main actors are applaudable. I love that none of them overdoes it even though emotions in this movie overflow, thus maintaining the balance. Because there is comedy in between and because I did not expect to cry in the beginning, 'Miracle' becomes effortlessly sad.

All the kinship finally began to heal after the confession, the younger brother grew up to be as big as the elder sister, and the father was as fragile as a child. The Muse supports her lover and gets love, and the audience witnesses the miracle.

A fiction story base on a real train station

Many people thought its real story but its a fact that its fiction. However the story is slight above nice but some parts are still illogical which the director and writer had ignored.

If the story is nicer and paid attention to details, it wuld be 9/10. But the movie overall quality is just only 7/10 which is still better than most Korean standards.

uplifting

These type of movies makes me cry all the time; family plots and those that are inspired by a true story. The actors did a great job especially our child and adult Joon-Kyeong. The dad and the sis hug made me cry even more. I recommend this to those who wants a good cry but not for the weak hearted. My heart is full with the ending. If I was the writer, I would have included child Joon-Kyeong in that parting scene in the train tho to make the viewers ball their eyes more. If you want a good cry I recommend these: hope, be with you, better days, our happy time/maundy Thursday, pawn, our times, and more than blue, your name, and I gave my first love to you.

Miracles are when you have the ability and don't forget to provide answers to others' seemingly inconspicuous inconveniences.

This is a small-scale story. You might wonder if it's based on a true story, but it is indeed a real one. It's set in a small town in North Gyeongsang Province in the 1980s, a place with railway tracks passing through but no station. The protagonist, Joon-kyeong, may not have known how much his dream would change the lives of many, but determination finds a way. The consensus among the villagers is to build a station, but even more crucial is getting a train to cooperate. So, the latter part of the film is about the efforts Joon-kyeong must make, which is much like our everyday lives. When you voice your dreams, there's always someone who resonates with you, but you also have to be the one to face the challenges and persevere. Having the ability to help others is what attracts people to help you.
