Basically, he’s like a super-powered empath, and since he can’t remember anything, it’s hard to say if these powers are a post-accident development, or if he’s had them all along. He has phytokinetic powers, he teleports, and he can stop time! And most importantly, he can hear (and physically feel) when people are in pain and communicate with them in his mind. For now.īut even if he’s amnesic, Mystery Boy is not your average guy. Even after Mystery Boy wakes up two months later, he has no recollection of who he is or anything that happened in his past.
Who’s going to know Dong-joo stole the manuscript that turned his life around? It’s certainly not Mystery Boy - who is now in a coma. But to prove Myung-seok wrong when the haughty publisher taunted him over his nonexistent career as a novelist, a copy of the manuscript exchanged hands and a lie was born. The story sucks Myung-seok in, and it’s straight to publication and the bestsellers list! Admittedly, Dong-joo didn’t set out to steal the novel because all he needed was to borrow money from Myung-seok to bail out his mom. Miraculous Brothers takes fast-paced to a whole new level and before we can say “Jack,” Dong-joo passes off the manuscript as his own to publisher frenemy, LEE MYUNG-SEOK ( Lee Ki-woo). In the backpack, Dong-joo finds odds and ends like an old cassette player (okay?), a curious-looking rock (hmmm), and a manuscript titled The Almighty is Dead with a picture tucked inside the pages (okay, definitely suspicious)! The novelist in Dong-joo is intrigued and as he settles to read the manuscript, we get cutaway scenes of a man (with cigarette butt-like burns on his hands) drowning another man in a car. Mystery Boy on the other hand is the real question mark here, and the contents of his backpack don’t do anything to demystify him or reveal his identity. What we do know is that Dong-joo is an aspiring novelist who works part-time jobs to get by, and he’s burdened by his mom who’s always getting into trouble. With a shady chase, a questionable backpack, superhuman powers, a Truck Car of Doom, and a “resurrection” all within the first ten minutes of the show, color me intrigued! The opener sets the pace of the show as a mystery drama with fantasy elements, and tells us what to expect - without fully telling us what to expect, because there’s a whole lot we don’t know about these characters and their background stories. Mystery Boy flatlines and is pronounced dead, but Dong-joo hears the “hyung” again, and as he goes up to inspect the body, Mystery Boy’s eyes fly open! *Jaw slackens* But he can’t tell if the sound is all in his head or if it came from the unconscious kid. And while the doctors try to revive him, Dong-joo hears a faint “hyung,” which draws him to Mystery Boy’s bedside. The driver, YOOK DONG-JOO ( Jung Woo), rushes Mystery Boy to the hospital. Why? There was an oncoming car, and Mystery Boy gets knocked down by the driver! Talk about an anticlimactic twist. But at that moment, lightning strikes, and Mystery Boy (which we’ll call him till his name is revealed) is propelled forward with some superhuman force out of reach. Just as he’s about to burst out onto the road, one of the men reaches out to grab him. He falls after colliding with a passerby, and the fall considerably slows him down. Two men in black are in pursuit of a young man ( Bae Hyun-sung), and we notice a strange blue glow emanating from his backpack. Our drama opens with a foot-chase in the middle of an alley on a rainy night. A theft, a murder mystery, and an amnesic guy with superpowers? Okay, Show, you have my attention.Įditor’s note: Weekly drama coverage will continue. Like a gripping manuscript in the hands of a publisher, Miraculous Brothers wastes no time in dropping us right in the middle of a miraculous and thrilling ride with twists at every turn.
