The story, without the spoilers.
The Bok family has superpowers, but modern life has broken every one of them. Gwi-ju can travel back in time, yet only to happy moments, and he cannot change a single thing there. His mother suffers from insomnia and cannot dream of the future. His sister can fly, but she cannot get off the ground because of her weight. His daughter can read minds, but she refuses to use her gift. Then Do Da-hae enters their lives, a cheerful, mysterious woman with secrets of her own, and Gwi-ju discovers that his power might work differently around her. As the family slowly confronts the grief and depression that stole their abilities, the question becomes whether a broken hero can still save anyone, including himself. The Atypical Family aired on JTBC from May 4, 2024, in twelve episodes, starring Jang Ki-yong and Chun Woo-hee. It is warm, strange and quietly devastating. It is the rare fantasy that uses magic to talk about real sadness.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
