  • Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today I am  going to explain a Korean fantasy film  

  • calledThe Miracle.” Spoilers  ahead! Watch out and take care!  

  • The story surrounds a pair of opposite twinsSu-mi and Ri-Na. Su-mi is shy and likes to spend  

  • time locked up in her room. She is also overweight  and has no self-confidence. As a hobby, she sings  

  • on live streams under the name Sexy Diva. Over the  years, she has accumulated many fans and followers  

  • but no one has ever seen her face. Every time  she goes live, the comments assume how pretty  

  • she must be but Su-mi knows that if she shows her  face, her popularity will rapidly decline.  

  • In contrast, her sister Ri-Na lives the dream of  every young Korean girl. She is the visual of a  

  • popular girl group; Miracle girls. She is signed  to a label and has millions of fans worldwide.  

  • Known for her beauty and dance, Ri-Na hardly  knows how to sing. Still, she is the most popular  

  • member of the group. Her bandmates do not like her  because she is arrogant and rude. One day, their  

  • manager informs them that Ri-Na has been called to  film a commercial video with a popular male singer  

  • Hae-Seong. The other girls are disappointed  since Ri-Na gets more opportunities than them  

  • even though they are much better singers. Later that day, a couple of reporters come  

  • to the girlshome to interview Ri-Na’s  family. However, Ri-Na asks Su-mi to stay  

  • in her room during the interview, ashamed of  her looks. When asked if she has any siblings,  

  • Ri-Na claims that her elder sister studies abroad  and is rarely home. Su-mi hates her sister because  

  • of her unlikeable personality. Despite being  twins, they do not share anything about their  

  • lives with each other and are always arguing. One thing that Su-mi despises more than her sister  

  • is her school. Her classmates bully her so much  that she always keeps a count of the days left  

  • to graduate. Unfortunately for her, the group of  bullies also has a popular guy named Gyo-Seok,  

  • who she is madly in love with. Last year  around the same time, Su-mi had decided to  

  • confess her feelings to Gyo-Seok and bought  him a gift. But the bullies caught her with  

  • it and read the love letter out loud. Su-mi  still hasn’t gotten over the embarrassment of  

  • being rejected in front of everyone but her  feelings for Gyo-Seok haven't changed.  

  • Somewhere else, Ri-Na goes to the set of the  commercial and meets a fellow idol, Hae-Seong.  

  • He is even more arrogant than Ri-Na and likes  to think of himself as a musician more than an  

  • entertainer. Knowing that Ri-Na is only famous for  her looks, he is extremely rude to her. Ri-Na acts  

  • as the director asks her to, but to Hae-Seong, the  concept of the commercial sounds dumb. He refuses  

  • to take part in it and leaves his manager to do  the damage control. Because of his pickiness,  

  • Ri-Na is also removed from the commercial. She  returns home crying and cursing at him.  

  • Meanwhile, Su-mi is hanging out in their  front yard with their family dog. When she  

  • isn’t looking, it runs outside the house and  disappears. Su-mi spends the entire day looking  

  • for it and finds an older woman unconscious on  the ground. She takes it upon herself to carry  

  • the poor woman to her house. Impressed by her  kindness, the woman brings her inside and reveals  

  • that she is a tarot reader. On being asked to  pick a tarot card, Su-mi chooses the rarest  

  • one of them all. According to the woman, it is  supposed to grant her a wish. Although skeptical,  

  • Su-mi thinks of exchanging lives with her sisterBut then, she changes her mind and asks for the  

  • ability to never gain weight. The woman gives her  a necklace as a present before seeing her off.  

  • While returning home with her dog, Su-mi  suddenly passes out. At the same time,  

  • Ri-Na who is in the middle of a dance  rehearsal also falls unconscious.  

  • When the sisters wake up, they are by each  other’s beds in a hospital. Strangely enough,  

  • their mother calls them by different namesConfused, they look at each other and are  

  • shocked to see that they have somehow exchanged  their bodies. They immediately run outside and  

  • hit their heads with a rock, trying to switch  back but the stupid idea doesn’t work. While  

  • brainstorming other plans, Su-mi’s eyes land upon  the necklace the tarot reader gave her earlier.  

  • She remembers that she had subconsciously  asked to exchange life with her sister,  

  • and rushes to the lady’s house. On reaching  the place, they find out that the lady has  

  • gone on a vacation and will only return aftermonth. The news is devastating for both sisters  

  • who will now have to live as the person  they hate the most for the next month.  

  • To adjust to their new life, they tell each other  the dos and donts of their day-to-day life.  

  • Su-mi is asked to be rude to everyone, eat lessand practice the dance that their girl group has  

  • been rehearsing. But Ri-Na only has to exist and  be quiet to be like her sister. The following day,  

  • they wear each other’s clothes, exchange  their phones, and get ready for the day.  

  • Ri-Na goes to the school, eating a box of snacks  she would have never eaten in her previous body.  

  • She is not worried about being switched and  considers it as a free one-month vacation  

  • from her usually busy lifestyle. But that is  until a group of bullies stops her. Gyo-Seok  

  • snatches the box and makes fun of her for  liking him. Ri-Na wants to teach them all a  

  • lesson but remembers that Su-mi would never  do something like that and keeps quiet.  

  • Meanwhile, Su-mi goes to the company for  a final rehearsal of their comeback show.  

  • Being the most popular one in the group, she  is given the prettiest clothes and the first  

  • priority. However, when it is time to perform, she  gets nervous and messes up the dance. Hae-Seong,  

  • who is watching the performance, laughs at her  lack of talent. After the rehearsals, they will  

  • have to perform live. Nervousness gets the best of  Su-mi and she breaks down crying in the bathroom.  

  • She holds the necklace and wishes to do her  best in the final performance. Lo and behold,  

  • when she finally has to perform, she doesn’t  forget a single step. However, the main vocalist  

  • and her rival forget the lyrics in the middle of  the live broadcast. To help her, Su-mi sings in  

  • her place and steals the show. Even Hae-Seong is  surprised to hear her actually singing well.  

  • After the show, she accidentally falls into his  arms. Unlike Ri-Na, Su-mi is mesmerized by his  

  • beauty. He puts her down before going to the stage  and performing a song while Su-mi stares at him  

  • in endearment. At home, Ri-Na is mad that Su-mi  sang well because after going back to her body,  

  • people will expect her to do the same. Su-mi  promises to do her worse the next time but then,  

  • Hae-Seong texts her, asking her to record  a duet with him. Ri-Na remembers him being  

  • arrogant the last time and wants Su-mi to  do her best and teach him a lesson.  

  • At school, Ri-Na discovers Su-mi’s journal and  reads it. She soon finds out what her sister goes  

  • through on a daily basis because of the bulliesThe next time she bumps into them, she makes  

  • sure to insult one of the girlsmakeup. When the  girl tries to slap her, Ri-Na restricts her hand,  

  • surprising everyone. Gyo-Seok comes forward to  humiliate her for liking him for the hundredth  

  • time but Ri-Na, in turn, calls him ugly and walks  away. He is left stunned by the sudden personality  

  • change and even finds it attractive. At the same time in the company, Hae-Seong  

  • texts Su-mi to come to the rooftop. He apologizes  for being rude to her during the commercial  

  • and discusses what song they should duet. They  seem to have similar taste in music which makes  

  • it easier to choose. In the end, Hae-Seong pulls  her into an embrace, asking her out on a date.  

  • In the following scene, the couple is in the  studio, mixing and recording the song. While  

  • listening to the end result, they end up  kissing. At home, the sisters sit down to  

  • talk about their day. Since both of them did  things the other one wouldn’t approve of,  

  • they lie to each other. Ri-Na is distressed that  they still have fifteen days to switch their  

  • bodies but Su-mi has started falling in love  with Hae-Seong and doesn’t feel like changing.  

  • Before going to sleep, she wishes that the tarot  reader never comes back from the vacation.  

  • Starting the next day, she meets Hae-Seong on  the rooftop every chance she gets. She enjoys  

  • the little time they have together to the  fullest. Meanwhile, Ri-Na continues reading  

  • Su-mi’s journal. A flashback shows us that Su-mi  had gone for several musical show auditions.  

  • She was recognized for her talent but only  during blind auditions. Many directors would  

  • bluntly call her names and dismiss her talent  because of her looks. This makes Ri-Na realize  

  • how unfair the world is to the so-called ugly  people. Her classmates, who usually bully her,  

  • are dancing to her song during recess. When Ri-Na  laughs at them, they challenge her to do the  

  • same. She surprises everyone by performing  better than all of them. Gyo-Seok starts  

  • looking at her differently after the incident. The next day, Su-mi is using Hae-Seong’s computer  

  • when she finds out that he watches her singing  live streams. It gives her hope that he might  

  • like her even when she goes back to her normal  body. At the same time, Ri-Na is going through  

  • Su-mi’s computer. She finds the Sexy diva live  stream channel and accidentally starts a stream  

  • with her face in front of the webcam. Several  comments flood in, making fun of her looks and  

  • she loses many of her subscribers. At night, Su-mi cries herself to sleep,  

  • wishing to the necklace that everyone forgets  about the live stream. The following morning,  

  • the live stream is gone and no one is talking  about it, almost as if it never existed. Even  

  • Ri-Na doesn’t remember going live. Su-mi figures  out that the necklace is not ordinary, it has  

  • been granting all of her wishes till now. Throughout the day, she tests the power of the  

  • necklace and the wish comes true every time. But  she also realizes that every time she is granted a  

  • wish, someone in her life suffers the consequenceLike, when she asks for the food of her choice,  

  • Hae-Seong’s new song is accused of plagiarismSimilarly, when he messes up a live performance,  

  • she wishes for him to pick it right  up. The wish is granted but a crew  

  • member is severely injured as a consequence. The next day, Gyo-Seok locks himself in a studio,  

  • saddened by the plagiarism scandal. Su-mi goes to  meet him and the two finish recording their duet  

  • song together. In the following scene, Ri-Na is  excited because the thirty days are finally over.  

  • The sisters go to the tarot reader’s house but  see that she has still not returned. Su-mi thinks  

  • that it is because she once unknowingly  wished for her to never return. She yet  

  • again wishes for the reader to be back soon. Asconsequence of the wish, a dating rumor about her  

  • and Hae-Seong is spread in the media. Ri-Na finds out about the rumor  

  • and is furious. They get into a fistfight  in the middle of a parking lot and have to  

  • be separated by Hae-Seong. He pushes Ri-Na to  the ground, asking her to stay away. However,  

  • the gesture makes Su-mi believe that he is  only in love with Ri-Na’s pretty face.  

  • The next day, Su-mi visits the tarot reader  again and finds out from her daughter that she  

  • passed away because of a disease. The  girl also reveals that to reverse a wish,  

  • one must hold the necklace and genuinely  wish for them to switch back to their bodies.  

  • If either of the girls does not actually mean  it, the wish won’t be granted. On finally finding  

  • a way to go back, Ri-Na is overjoyed but the  same cannot be said for Su-mi. Seeing that her  

  • sister is bothered, Ri-Na reveals that Hae-Seong  used to hate her when she was in her own body.  

  • This means, currently, he is not in love with  Ri-Na’s face, but with Su-mi’s personality.  

  • Following the conversation, the girls makewish as the tarot reader has told but nothing  

  • changes. Then, the following day, Su-mi and  Ri-Na meet in front of the company for work.  

  • Ri-Na is about to be hit by a car but Su-mi  puts her life in danger and saves her. When  

  • they wake up in the hospital, they have  switched back to their original bodies.  

  • The doctor who is in charge of them  looks exactly like the tarot reader.  

  • She explains that Su-mi is the elder sister  and the protector of the younger one. Since  

  • she fulfilled her purpose by saving Ri-Na from  the accident, they were able to switch back.  

  • In the following scene, Ri-Na breaks up with  Hae-Seong, claiming that she doesn’t want to lose  

  • brand deals by being seen with him. In realitydating her sister’s love is unacceptable to her.  

  • The bully Gyo-Seok also apologizes  to Su-mi and expresses that he has  

  • started to like her. But she rejects him  since she is in love with Hae-Seong.  

  • A few weeks later, Hae-Seong organizes a musical  audition. Ri-Na brings the forms to Su-mi,  

  • encouraging her to participate. Su-mi  gathers enough courage to go to the audition,  

  • mostly because she wants to look at Hae-Seong one  more time. She sings the song they dueted together  

  • and impresses everyone. In the last scene, we see  Su-mi and Hae-Seong recording a song together,  

  • indicating that she got  selected in the audition.
