The "Miracle Team" revolves around Joo Ga Ram (Yoon Kye Sang) - a former football star who lost his reputation due to a scandal over the use of banned substances in competition.
Many years later, Ga Ram returned to his old school as the new coach of the lowest-ranked football team in the country and led this weak team on the journey to victory at the National Sports Festival.
The film has currently aired 4 episodes with a viewership rating of 5.4%, higher than the works shown at the same time frame of "Humanitarian Death" and "Dream of a Lawyer". The media assessed that the film brings the audience a new, bright, positive and humorous perspective on football and the journey to adulthood of young athletes.
Previously, sharing about the work, the male lead Yoon Kye Sang hoped the audience would have moments of relaxation and happiness: This is not only a story about soccer but also about the process of human maturity through challenges, tripping and rising up. Because the film is filled with humor and warmth, I really hope the audience will feel positive emotions throughout" - he said.
Meanwhile, screenwriter Lim Jin Ah revealed the reason for choosing soccer as the theme of the work: Soccer is a harsh sport, but extremely humane. It's impressive that even when the players collide, they still have to keep watching their teammates. This is a sport that completely depends on team spirit".
According to the screenwriter, Joo Ga Ram is her favorite character in the film. He is a humorous, pious person, and represents the model of a "good adult" that he dreams of: knowing how to admit mistakes, knowing the right path and teaching the children very well.
According to the author, with Miracle Football, viewers will see many different aspects of youth when following the characters journey and witnessing them grow up in their own way.
Through the film, Lim Jin Ah wants to share her message: I want to talk about overcoming everything, still moving forward. In life, everyone faces countless difficulties. We can stumble or struggle to get up immediately. But still, I think continuing to move forward without giving up is the way we play the game of life.
