The Atypical Family | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix K-Content
We've got two families. The Bok family has become wealthy thanks to grandma's visions of the future that came to her in her dreams while she was sleeping. Grandpa recognized her talent and did what he could to support her, he basically became her servant. Their daughter could fly like Superman. Their son could travel back in time to visit events in his past. The son's teenage daughter can read people's minds by looking into their eyes. All of their talents have atrophied due to 'lifestyle disease', probably triggered when the son's wife was killed in a car crash roughly five years ago. He has since fallen into depression and has been drinking steadily.
The other family are scam artists. There is a brother and sister. The brother is a tough guy, the sister is the ring leader. She has one natural daughter and one adopted daughter. The adopted daughter's father was a drunk who froze to death one winter. He died deeply in debt and his daughter has been saddled with her father's debt. The mom in this family (the ring leader) has set up a couple of scams where adopted daughter ensnares a man into marriage and then through some shenanigans they make off with all their loot.
Now they have set their sights on the Bok family's son. Things become complicated when the Bok's son and the adopted daughter develop feelings for each other. Things become confused when the Bok matriarch figures out the scammer's plan, but doesn't care because her son has cleaned up his act and returned to life.
At the beginning, the daughter who can fly looks like she weighs 300 pounds. By the end of the show her figure has become svelte. You make a person's body look fat with a fat suit, but how did they make her face so fat? She was really fat. If it was done with makeup, it must have been a real chore to get her ready for the camera.
The Bok's house is fabulous. Besides being big and fancy they have a treasure room and a vault. It's like something a Bond villain would have.
I'm not sure why we watched this show, other than the leading couple are very attractive. I asked my wife why we watched this show and she gave me a couple of reasons. One, it is not our usual fare, and two, it is a romance, and we are kind of suckers for this kind of story.
Asian Wiki has a good list of the cast. There are 66 people listed. The leading man was played by Jang Ki-Yong and the leading lady was played by Chun Woo-Hee.
