For example, the movie changed Yesha’s hiding place given Filipino prisons are different from Korean ones. 7 made modifications to fit conditions and tastes in the Philippines. Furthermore, the Filipino Miracle in Cell No. Child actress Xia Vigor does a great job of portraying Yesha, and the actors playing Lito’s fellow inmates also provide great comic relief. The movie touches upon universal themes of familial love and kindness, and doesn’t feel contrived. Like its Korean source, Miracle in Cell No. When Lito’s fellow inmates realize he’s an innocent man, they help smuggle in his young daughter Yesha so the two can continue bonding. 7 tells the story of a mentally disabled man named Lito who’s wrongly jailed. Building upon the Korean original, Miracle In Cell No. 7 won the love of critics and audiences with its heartwarming father-daughter story.
