Netflix has been heavily investing in its Korean drama lineup, and the latest addition is ‘The Atypical Family,’ a fantasy romance with a superhero twist. The drama revolves around Bok Gwi-joo, a man who can travel back in time to his happiest memories, but cannot change the past. His family members also possess unique powers: his mother can see the future in her dreams, and his sister can fly. However, their powers vanish due to real-life issues such as insomnia, bulimia, and smartphone addiction, throwing their lives into disarray.
Gwi-joo falls into depression after an accident leaves him unable to travel to the past. Enter Do Da-hae, a woman who becomes involved with the family and moves in with them. Could she be the one to help them regain their powers?
The drama boasts a star-studded cast, including Jang Ki-yong, who makes his return to K-dramas after his military discharge. Chun Woo-hee, known for her roles in ‘The Wailing’ and ‘Unlocked,’ will also star in the drama. Claudia Kim, who has appeared in Hollywood films such as ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and ‘The Dark Tower,’ will also join the cast.
‘The Atypical Family’ will premiere on Netflix in conjunction with JTBC, airing on Korean cable every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30PM KST. Global fans can expect the drama to be released on Netflix on the same schedule as the Korean broadcast.
This fantasy-romance-meets-superhero drama is sure to keep viewers entertained with its unique characters and storylines. ‘The Atypical Family’ adds to Netflix’s growing list of Korean dramas for 2024, joining other highly anticipated titles such as ‘Bloodhounds’ and ‘Queenmaker.’ With its star-studded cast and intriguing plot, ‘The Atypical Family’ is definitely one to watch out for.
