South Korean fantasy drama The Atypical Family is aptly titled. The members of the Bok family are extraordinary in their own right – they are superheroes.
Gwi-joo used to be able to travel back to the past and relive his happiest memories, but due to the traumatic passing of his wife, he falls into depression and becomes an alcoholic. He neglects his daughter In-a , who turns into a recluse. Her smartphone addiction also hinders the manifesting of her powers.
The K-drama navigates heavy themes and does not shy away from portraying the toll of their struggles on their mental health. However, because of its fantastical setting, the show does not get too preachy.The series benefits from South Korean director Jo Hyun-tak’s brisk storytelling. From the first episode, it is revealed that Da-hee befriending the Bok family is no coincidence.
The plot is reminiscent of Parasite, South Korean film-maker Bong Joon-ho’s 2019 Oscar-winning thriller. But director Jo – the man who helmed the acclaimed K-drama Sky Castle – keeps some cards close to his chest.Kim, known for playing scientist Helen Cho in Avengers: Age Of Ultron and the magical being Nagini in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald , is unrecognisable as Dong-hee.
