Episode guide

This review may contain spoilers. Ep 1: Absolutely loved it. Upon reading the description initially, my mind immediately drew parallels to a Korean version of the Addams Family. The vibe is unmistakable. At first, the female lead didn't make much of an impression, but as the minutes passed and we reached the end, we saw her true character emerge, adding depth to the drama. Even more intriguing than the family's unusual powers is the vulnerability of the entire Bok Family, susceptible to falling for a scam. It was amusing to see the male lead's mother attempting to rationalize away the red flags raised by the female lead. I'm eagerly anticipating the direction this drama will take. Ep 2: So much unfolded in this episode. Firstly, the scene with the treadmill feels reminiscent of a real-life incident or another drama; I can't shake the feeling that I've seen it before, though I can't recall where. Bok Dong Hee's struggle with overeating is highly relatable; breaking such a habit, especially when the food brings comfort, is challenging. The male lead also sheds light on depression, expressing his inability to feel gratitude due to his own struggles. The family dynamics enable them to avoid confronting their issues, which seems to be the norm. Despite his addiction, Gwi Joo's interactions with Da Hee are intriguing. I'm still curious about the female lead's family and their backstory. Ep 3: Da Hee's family has misjudged their target this time. Attempting to exploit the Bok Family's disorders will only lead to their healing. The writers keep us guessing whether Da Hee's revelations are true or if Gwi Joo truly altered the past. Ina's advice to Da Hee in a previous episode adds a fun layer to the storyline. The ending was particularly satisfying. Ep 4: Each episode showcases a new scenario of what Gwi Joo's future self will do, with his current self oblivious to it, which I find thoroughly enjoyable. Finally, we learn some intriguing details about Da Hee's family, and the episode concludes with a well-executed kiss. Despite being relatively tame compared to the previous episode, I hope the pace picks up again in the upcoming episodes.

I'm a big fan of Jang Ki Young ever since "My Roommate is a Gumiho," and I'm watching this show solely for him. Normally, I'm not into supernatural themes, but this show looks promising. The beginning is great too! I hope they maintain the pace and develop the storyline well. I'm really rooting for this one; it has so much potential. If you're a fan of Jang Ki Young like me, then I highly recommend watching it; he still looks great even when playing a depressed character.

The initial synopses I found online for the new Korean Drama "Atypical Family" appear to be inaccurate. The storyline doesn't match what was described by news sources. It didn't captivate me within the first 15 minutes, as my usual "love it or leave it" test, but there were enough intriguing hints at a hidden backstory to keep me interested. The complexity of the story is remarkable. These revelations from the first episode are not spoilers: 1. The male lead possesses superpowers which he sees as a burden. 2. He was previously married, and his wife tragically passed away in a car accident, possibly caused by her own actions. 3. Despite his abilities, he couldn't save her. 4. His mother had warned him of this tragedy. 5. Her death plunged him into depression, leading to him losing his powers. 6. The entire family once had superpowers, but lost them due to modern medical conditions. 7. The female lead is actually a con artist planted by a criminal gang to exploit the family's wealth. She disregards the family's history as nonsense. This drama is incredibly unusual, diverging from typical Korean dramas. Seeing the story unfold feels like witnessing the creation of a masterpiece. My mind is thoroughly blown; I'm left intrigued and excited. New episodes air on Saturdays and Sundays. Edit: This drama is a brilliant creation, a testament to the creator's ingenious vision. I'll provide spoiler explanations in the comments to assist those who may be confused. Look out for them. What constitutes a spoiler? It's when the storyline abruptly shifts direction, catching viewers off guard. Since the drama is still in its early stages, spoilers are rare in the first episode.
