Gift in Room 7 is about a father's love for his family. The mentally retarded, played by Seung-yong Ryoo, mistakenly entered Room 7 of the training center. There are criminals who enter the training center for various crimes, such as gang bosses and fraudsters. Seung-yong Ryoo's participation is an exception. The prisoner in room 7 will help him take his daughter into the training center where outsiders are forbidden to enter.
The actors in the film add up to more than 200 years old, but they are full of fatherly love because of the letter from their lovely daughter Kal So won. Among them, Seung-yong Ryoo, who has always appeared on the screen as a tough guy, is a complete subversion. The character is portrayed as a mentally retarded person with an IQ of six, and his thinking is very pure, but the father's love for his daughter is inversely proportional to the simplicity of IQ.
It is this polarization that will test acting more. Seung-yong Ryoo is also eager to try after receiving the script. He said that he cared more about the lingering affection in this movie than the soaring acting skills, and it was this emotion that touched him.
Extended data:
In the movie Miracle in Cell 7, 1997, a mentally retarded man named Li Longjiu (Liu Chenglong) and his lovely daughter, Yi Sheng (Kal So won), only had a 6-year-old IQ. Although his life is simple and poor, he is full of happiness. One day, Long Jiu, who insisted on buying a schoolbag for his daughter, was accidentally involved in a child abduction and rape case, and the deceased was actually the daughter of the police chief.
Long Jiu was ignorant and confused and was thrown into prison. In Cell 7, there are many poisonous "social scum", such as smuggler Su (,), fraudster Cui Chunhao (), adulterer Jiang Wanfan (), intimidator Jin Jican and robber Shen (Man-sik Jeong).
Long Jiu's childlike innocence gradually touched these "big bad guys", and they even risked taking Yi Sheng into the prison to see his father. In the dark and cold prison, cell 7 is full of sunshine.
Film evaluation:
The structure of the film is somewhat similar to the Hollywood film I am Sam starring Sean Penn and Dakota Fan Ning, which tells the story of a mentally retarded father and lovely daughter, except that the story of I am Sam takes place in a normal living environment, while the background of Gift in Room 7 is set in a prison.
Relatively speaking, the plot of Gift in Room 7 is a bit bizarre, but the overall atmosphere of the film is still very good, especially the innocent and poor heroine Park Shin Hye and the extremely cute little girl, who are powerful tear gas bombs. ? (Information Times Review)
Director Lee Huan Qing and actors Seung-yong Ryoo, Park Shin Hye, Dal-su Oh and Won-sang Park joined hands to create an interesting, warm and touching story. The film also faces the realistic problem of whether fathers with mental retardation can raise their daughters, showing all kinds of obstacles they encounter and making people cry. ?

In the film, Seung-yong Ryoo, the hero, not only shows the simplicity of his father with mental retardation and IQ of only 6 years old, but also shows his deep love for his daughter's father. His acting skills are amazing. ? (China Net Review)
