미라클

Sorin an aspiring idol whose dreams were dashed after a traffic accident. She works at COA Entertainment, global star Luice’ management company. Due to a scandal, Luice’s career goes up in smoke and commiserates with Sorin where they then fall for each other. Meanwhile, Sorin’s best friend Siwoo realises his own dream of becoming a K-pop idol and debuts as a member of a boy group under the same management company.

I'm a sucker for idol dramas, but this one was the most disappointing one to date. It honestly felt like something that would have been on the Disney Channel ten years ago. The acting wasn't that bad, but the story had literally zero emotional impact. With a name like Miracle I would have expected to see blood, sweat and tears being shed for the characters to reach and realize their dreams. For them to put everything on the line on the unlikely chance of a "miracle" happening for them to make their wishes come true, but they barely struggled. For example, So Rin's accident was the perfect set-up to set her on her journey of disappointment, struggles and heartache to eventually overcome her physical limitations (or find a way to deal with them) and reach her goal, be it the original one or a new one she discovered along the way. But there was none of that. She was a glorified babysitter for two squabbling men that acted like little kids more often than not. Luice spent most of his time lounging around, and don't get me started about "Si Woo realizing his dream of becoming a k-pop idol". That was a 30-second montage and then a 3 sentences speech. We barely got to see him put in any type of effort. The music was also a flop. Three or four repetitive, unmemorable songs. I expected a lot more for an idol drama.
