YesAsia Editorial Description

You've seen it before: gangsters trying to force people to move from their homes in order to clear out the area to make way for corporate construction. It was one of the major plot points of Holiday in 2006, and one of Korean society's less charming realities. Pil Je (Lim Chang Jung, Sex is Zero) is exactly one of these thugs, raising a fuss with the entire neighborhood and trying all he can to drive the residents away so his boss and his people can build that new and shiny complex. Most people tend to be scared of Pil Je, but Myeong Ran (Ha Ji Won, Sex is Zero) is not too impressed. An aspiring boxer, Myeong Ran isn't scared by Pil Je one bit; on the contrary, she's starting to look as menacing as some of the people Pil Je has to deal with in his line of business. But as he gets to know her and the locals more, Pil Je senses himself changing, changing enough for a miracle to happen?

Miracle on 1st Street brings back the trio who made 2002 sex comedy Sex is Zero, one of the top 20 grossing Korean films of all time. Director Yoon Je Kyun comes back to directing after years as a producer. After founding Dusabu Films and focusing on his production company, Yoon decided it was time to try his luck once again, with his two friends from the past, Ha Ji Won and Lim Chang Jung, the stars of Sex is Zero. After quitting his music career in great fashion, Lim has become one of the few surefire box office draws in Korea, proving himself to be quite a fine comic actor as well. And Ha Ji Won continues with her endless transformations. After learning traditional dance and Geomungo for the historical drama Hwang Jin Yi, this time she went through boxing training for a couple of months to make her performance more realistic.

<색즉시공>의 420만 흥행신화 3인방, 임창정 하지원 윤제균 감독!
그들이 ‘1번가’에서 다시 뭉쳤다!

영화 <색즉시공>으로 막강호흡을 자랑하며 420만의 흥행파워를 과시했던 임창정, 하지원, 그리고 윤제균 감독이 다시 만났다. 코믹한 웃음과 가슴 찡한 감동을 전하는데 명실공히 최고를 자랑하는 찰떡궁합 3인방이 거사를 치르기 위해 <1번가의 기적>에서 다시 뭉친 것. 1번가를 밀어버리러 왔다가 뜻하지 않게 마을의 영웅이 되어버린 임창정은 천하의 나쁜 노무새끼지만, 속은 따뜻한 날건달을 연기하며 그가 가진 최고의 인간미를 여과 없이 발산한다. 또한 형사에서 기생까지 스크린과 브라운관을 누비며 끊임없이 변신 중인 하지원은 맷집 하나로 동양챔피언을 꿈꾸는 여자 복서에 도전해 또 한 번 연기변신을 시도한다. 이 둘의 결합에 윤제균 감독이 또 한번 가세하여 막강호흡을 자랑하는 촉매제 역할을 한 것. 이는 감독 윤제균만의 날카로운 통찰력에서 비롯된다. 인간이 가진 진심 안에서 유머를 찾아내고, 메시지를 전달하는 그 만의 재치가 <1번가의 기적> 에서도 유감없이 발휘되는 것. 2007년, 이들의 결합은 또 한 번 환상적인 호흡을 자랑하며 훈훈한 유머와 코 끝 찡한 감동의, 기적 같은 ‘휴먼코미디’로 거듭날 것이다.

“뭐 이런 동네가 다있어~!” 마을에 침입한 날건달이 슈퍼맨으로 통했다(?)

재개발의 막중한 임무를 띠고 에쿠스를 끌며 폼 나게 1번가에 나타난 날건달, 필제.
‘천하의 나쁜 노무새끼’가 되어 피도 눈물도 없이 무대뽀로 마을 사람들을 밀어내려 단단히 맘을 먹었건만 도착한 첫날부터 맞닥뜨린 깡따구 센 여자 복서 명란을 비롯하여 예측불허 마을 사람들로 인해 필제의 계획은 꼬이기 시작한다.
버스보다 발이 빠르고 말보다 주먹이 앞서는 명란은 소심하게(?) 세계챔피언이 아닌 동양 챔피언의 꿈을 다지며 열심히 살아간다. 이런 명란과 티격태격 사사건건 엮이게 된 필제는 재개발은커녕 명란의 주먹에 뻑하면 얻어터지기 일수고 명란의 뒤치닥거리 하기에 바쁘다. 엎친 데 덮친 격으로 필제가 하는 짓들이 마냥 신기 하기만 한 일동, 이순 남매는 순수 함과 엉뚱함으로 필제를 제압하고, 그를 두려워하기는커녕 일까지 시켜먹는 마을사람 들로 인해 필제는 동네의 온갖 잡일을 도맡아 하게 된다. 급기야 그는 동네 아이들에게 날건달이 아닌 슈퍼맨으로 통하기에 이르는데….

천하의 나쁜 노무새끼, 필제의 빅 프로젝트는 성공할 것인가?

‘1번가’를 접수하겠다며 으름장을 놓더니만 애초의 목적 달성에서 점점 멀어져만 가는 필제, 두주먹 불끈 쥐며 ‘동양챔피언’의 꿈을 향해 달려가는 명란, 그리고 필제에겐 골칫거리이기 만 한 ‘1번가’ 사람들. 과연 1번가를 밀어버리겠다던 필제는 임무를 완수할 수 있을 것인가?

1 poor people x 1 poor people Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
First of all, do not try to compare this movie with Sex is Zero. Watch this with an open mind. Here you will find a kind hearted gangster, a persistent boxer who tried to gain what her father had lost, the day to day lives of poor people in Seoul and a little boy who learns to fly. Watchable. Recommended to rent instead of buying.

Nice Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I love the pairing. This is tug and a love story with a slight drama and comedy at the same time. The tandem is the lead stars is something nice. They are together before in the movie "Wet Dreams 2".

The story is something new for me and i like the ending. Pretty neat. Nice buy.

very entertaining Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
At first, i didn't know what to expect from this movie based on the trailer as it seemed like a comedy. However, I thought the movie was very enjoyable. It has romance, comedy, sadness, and some boxing. The plot is nothing unique, but it was entertaining, especially the two young kids. I would recommend this movie.

 A bit more serious than SIZ Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
Although featuring Chang Jung Lim and Ji Won Ha and directed by Yun Je Gyun who were all involved in the movie "Sex is Zero", the main initial thing to mention here is that although SIZ [or should that be sizzle? ;) ] was a very humorous and irreverent sex comedy, this is so contrasting and a far more serious drama. It does have humorous moments, but the humor becomes blunted due to the circumstances of home evictions and poverty. For instance the local mischievous kid's who modify an outside toilet, that Chang Jung's character often has to use, brings a few mirth filled moments, but tearful children and hardships are the norm here. The residents of this film are on the outskirts of social norms and live rugged existences only to have to be thrown out of their homes by local 'business associates' who want all of the locals bottoms out of town, so as to build high rise blocks in their place. In fact there's a lot more pathos here than anything. I was quite surprised with "Miracle" in a way as I thought that Ji Won Ha's character, being a trained boxer, was going to portray a sort of local heroine and smack the pants off all the nasty thugs that are trying to evict the poor residents with a topical 'girl power' fighting finale to top it all off. You almost anticipate it. But this film isn't quite like that and although Ji Won whomps a few gangsters mid way through, her main ambition is to fight at an Asian Boxing Championship and vindicate her defeated and sadly vegetable stated boxing father and full fill her own dream of becoming a boxing champ (all revealed in the movies intro). Chang Jung as the gangster who needs signed agreements from all the locals, to get the land deeds for the high rise blocks built for his bosses, acts well as the wide boy gangster and also shows a soft heart later in as he eventually gels with two mischievous but decent local children. He eventually realizes that there is more to life than putting money objectives over the lives of innocent people. In many ways, Chang's gangster / kids camaraderie and involvement is more featured than Ji Won's boxer character in the scheme of things with the residents. In this sense the film is a tease and the ending a bit off kilter and overly sentimental - for me, anyway. So don't expect Ji Won to come all over 'sting like a butterfly, fly like a bee' and save the local yokels by kick boxing the gangsters into the dust and out of town. She does box, but not with them!

A love romance, though, with a male coffee vending machine attendant and another girl who is also one of the to be evicted residents (soorrry - I cannot find you actors names here as I type) is well played out and these two characters form a good sub plot which is quite endearing and finishes off way better than the overall film's final message. It is all a reasonable feel good film, though, about fulfilling dreams even if the ending isn't what might be expected with Ji Won's anticipated heroics (not that it has to be that way). The acting is top of the class as to be expected. Ji Won is great and with her adoptive boxing skills she must have worked hard to preform as she does and these elements of her role are played well, but I hope to see her in something more character central next time. "Miracle on 1st Street" is one of those movies where I'm not sure, by a single viewing, how to totally rate it - its all worth seeing, but don't expect great things from it. Ji Won though, I've read is to appear with Cha Tae Hyun in a romantic drama called "Babo" made by director Jeong Gwan Kim who also made "Ditto" and that is one I'm interested in seeing. One last thing - with Ji Won's boxing talent, I think she should box the ears of those who left the English subtitles off her last TV series "Hwang Jin Yi" and gave it erratic region codes. Honestly!
