Miraculous Brothers (The Miracle Brothers / Gijeogui Hyeongje / 기적의 형제)

"The Almighty Is Dead" is praised as the best novel of the year.

The writer of this successful novel, Yuk Dong Ju,

is suspected of having stolen a novel from an obscure writer...

and published it under his name.

This suspicion has caused a huge scandal.

The readers and public are filling petitions to the Blue House...

to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of the scandal.

And the number of petitions so far has reached 300,000.

Some people began boycotting all books from the publishing house,

Literature and Imagination.

Personal information of the writer's family had been exposed as well.

The suspicion turned into a full-blown scandal.

Is it true that you stole the novel?

Some say you caused the car accident to steal the manuscript.

Who is the real writer of the novel?

How much longer were you going to keep it a secret?

How do you feel right now?

Do you have anything to say to the readers?

Did you not feel guilty at all?

Are you ready to face the prosecution's investigation?

Who wrote the novel? You or the unidentified boy?

Answer my question!

How much longer were you going to keep this up?

You've done something utterly dangerous.

This novel was not supposed...

to come out into the world.

Gosh. It startled me.

Hey, when will you be done today?

I was on night duty yesterday. So I'm getting off work now. Why?

Can you go to my house and install security cameras?

Don't buy cheap ones. Get me high-performance stuff.

I'll pay you later.

Hey, I changed the passcode too.

Why? Did someone break into your house?

Call me when you get there. Thanks for your help.

Dong Ju.

Hello.

Are you all right? - What do you mean?

You remember what happened last night, right?

I'm in love with you - Hey!

You jerk.

What's going on? - My gosh!

No! - What's happening?

Is that why you're calling me?

Not really.

You know that you have an interview today, right?

Mr. Yuk?

Yes, I'm listening.

You must be here at least an hour before the interview.

You need to get your makeup done too.

You can't take pictures with wounds on your face.

You have to film a video...

which will go on the newspaper's online website.

A video?

I can't have the interview with my face like this.

Can you postpone that?

Mr. Yuk.

You already postponed it once.

If you don't show up for the interview,

you will see a different kind of news article.

About the assault and violation of your contract.

Fine! Suit yourself. Gosh.

Goodness. This is driving me crazy.

You were wearing that when you got into the accident.

We had to treat you urgently, so we had to cut it with scissors.

I see.

Right. You were only wearing one sneaker.

Thank you. - Don't mention it.

Maybe I should have asked him.

I want the writer's autograph and a picture with him.

Happy birthday.

But you can't remember who it was?

No.

I bet it was your family.

Why aren't they looking for me then?

How come my parents aren't looking for me?

I'm sure they are.

Anyway, it's a good sign that your memories are coming back.

And you need to get discharged now.

Discharged? - Yes.

There's nothing more we can do for you at the hospital.

As long as you're okay,

why don't you stay at my house until you find your family?

My house might be better than a shelter.

I'll think about it.

I hope you'll consider it with a positive mindset.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong with you? - I'm sorry!

Gosh. - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Critics are praising your work for having such deep insight...

into people's greed and the boundary between good and evil.

And your novel has turned into a huge fad among the readers.

A huge pad?

No. Your novel is becoming a fad. Like a trend.

I see.

Okay. It's my first time hearing about it.

The novel takes place in the mid-1990s.

I think he's nervous.

It's gaining a lot of popularity among the younger generation.

Right.

I see.

Mr. Yuk, can you look up a bit? That would be great.

Okay.

Was there a special reason behind writing this novel?

Well,

if there was a special reason...

Back then...

I was struggling really badly.

I had to work as a courier and a chauffeur...

while writing my novel.

My passion to write a good novel was so intense.

So I spent all night, trying to write my novel.

But when I saw only my mouse cursor,

blinking on the blank page in the morning,

it destroyed me.

I started to doubt my talent...

as a writer too.

So is this novel an example of how your perseverance won?

No.

Poverty and physical fatigue...

destroy one's mind.

I didn't even have enough money to pay rent.

Telling me to stay strong mentally and overcome my poverty...

was cruel nonsense.

But I still hung in there...

with my willpower.

However, I was reaching my limit.

I didn't think I could keep it up.

I saw my life crumbling away.

At that moment,

I saw lightning.

You're telling me that...

you were inspired as if you were struck by lightning.

In this world,

there are miraculous things...

that we cannot possibly explain with words.

I think a miracle happened to me too.

He's such an honest guy.

Despite the lack of time you had, your novel clearly shows...

that you had done your research to keep historical authenticity.

Do you have a special tip on how to research effectively?

I don't have a special tip or anything.

I read books that are relevant to the topic or research online.

I often did my research at the library.

I also met up with people to interview them.

You must have had a lot of data.

Will it be possible for you to show us your research journal?

A novelist named Jung Yu Sun recently disclosed her journal.

And it's been garnering a lot of attention.

Gosh, that's not possible.

I'm not so organized.

And it's also my trade secret.

That's a pity.

Was there an actual case that inspired your novel?

A YouTuber who reviews books...

shared that the novel might be based on a true story.

Well, I'm not sure if there was a similar incident to my novel.

But my novel started...

from my imagination. It's pure fiction.

Lightning. Miracles.

Your answers weren't rational. You only focused on sentiment.

You kept giving her such boring answers. Gosh.

You were born with a silver spoon.

You would have to be born again to understand sentiment like that.

You should let go of that prejudice of yours.

"Poor people are good. Rich people are evil."

The prejudice that originated from your inferiority complex.

Sure. Thanks for your advice.

Hey, you're a novelist.

You should have interpreted and explained your work rationally.

That's up to the critic.

Sir.

They want to take a picture of you with Mr. Yuk.

Okay. - Why?

Sure. Fine. Let's do it.

Please tell them no politely.

This interview is about him,

not me.

Okay.

Bye.

You should at least apologize.

I understand why you did it.

Unleashing your inferiority complex through violence...

is very embarrassing and immature for intellectuals like us.

"I'm angry because you punched me. So apologize."

You could simply have told me that.

What a complicated way of saying so.

I punched you too. It was mutual.

We're even. All good.

It was self-defence for me.

I'm sorry to punch you first. Happy now?

Hey, how is that an apology?

I understand why you did it.

You must be jealous of me and have an inferiority complex.

You must want to keep me down with the money you have.

But you shouldn't do stuff like that as an intellectual.

I'm jealous of you?
