Last night, I watched the Turkish adaptation of the Korean film, Miracle in Cell Number 7. I’ve said a few times that I don’t cry easily when I watch dramas or films. I really don’t. It has nothing to do with being unmoved; it’s just that it takes a lot to get me to cry. Well, this film did just that. I wasn’t wailing, but there were definitely tears streaming down my face. It was such a beautiful and well-acted movie. I haven’t seen the original, so I don’t really know how the two compare. I heard there was also a Filipino version.
I’m looking forward to the Filipino version as I’m curious how they will adapt it to our culture. I love the original so I’m looking forward to the PH’s version.
There is also an Indian version (Specifically a Kannada-language production). And I read that there is an Indonesian version in the works. Yes, the way the local culture shapes the storytelling is so interesting. The Turkish one is set during the military dictatorship of the 1980s. Do you know when the Korean original is set?
