The Atypical Family

Biggest Surprise of 2024 so far

I despside super hero movies and was reluctant to watch a drama with superpowered people. However, this is not your typical superhero stuff and not your typical K-Drama either.

Sure, there are things you're used to from Korean drama's, like emotional depth and well rounded characters, but the male lead's superpower is not something you'll see in Marvel's formula any time soon.

It is I suppose in its core, a story about family. A broken one that gets healed by someone that initially plans to take their fortune. Everyone is flawed in one way or another and there's no clear protagonist. Constantly, you're swayed between do I root for this person or not?

Not going to spoil anything - just watch it.

This remains one of my favorite shows. I wasn't too sure I was going to enjoy this one while watching the first episode, but the storyline is very well written, and the direction is great. All the actors' performances were awesome. There is no slacking in the script as it keeps building towards the end. Which I must say is really awesome too. I was also intrigued with the interpretation of the characters. The first time I viewed the show I related to the characters one way, but during later viewing I understood different aspects of the characters which made it even more enjoyable. My wife makes fun of me because I always cry during this show. What can I say, I am a romantic. I recommend this movie and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
