Towards the end of The Atypical Family, the plot becomes more gripping. Do Da Hae (Chun Woo Hee) confesses that she has deceived Bok Gwi Ju’s (Jang Ki Yong) family on their wedding day in episode six. Following this, her attitude towards Bok Gwi Ju changes drastically. She avoids anything related to him and his family, as seen in episodes seven and eight.
Of course, there are reasons behind Do Da Hae’s avoidance of the man she almost married. Here are three key reasons why she steers clear of Bok Gwi Ju.
1. Do Da Hae Feels Guilty Towards Bok Gwi Ju

Initially, Do Da Hae didn’t want any connection with Bok Gwi Ju because she knew his family was powerful. Especially Bok I Na (Park So Yi), who can read thoughts through someone’s eyes. Bok I Na was the first to discover Do Da Hae’s deceitful intentions, which could have led to serious consequences if exposed.
However, this fear turned into guilt and embarrassment when Do Da Hae met Bok Gwi Ju’s father, Eu Sun Gu (Oh Man Seok). Eu Sun Gu shared the story of Bok Gwi Ju’s painful past. Understanding the extent of Bok Gwi Ju’s suffering made Do Da Hae feel remorseful for playing with his feelings.
“Starting from this point, Do Da Hae feels guilty for playing with Bok Gwi Ju’s feelings.”
2. Do Da Hae Has Actually Fallen in Love with Bok Gwi Ju

Bok Gwi Ju is Do Da Hae’s third victim. Unlike the previous two men she deceived, Do Da Hae developed genuine feelings for Bok Gwi Ju. Initially, she was following orders from her adoptive mother, Baek Il Hong (Kim Keum Soon), but things changed as she spent more time with him.
Bok Gwi Ju treated Do Da Hae well despite his cold demeanor. He was always there for her during difficult times. This kindness made Do Da Hae fall in love with him, realizing she didn’t want to hurt him further with her deceitful actions.
“Bok Gwi Ju’s treatment is what makes Do Da Hae fall in love with him over time.”
3. Do Da Hae Doesn’t Want Her Adoptive Mother to Deceive Bok Gwi Ju’s Family

Baek Il Hong, Do Da Hae’s adoptive mother, is an imposter. She adopted Do Da Hae to clear her father’s debts, forcing her to obey all orders. Baek Il Hong wanted to exploit Bok Man Heum’s (Go Du Shim) wealth, which was amassed from a gym business. She instructed Do Da Hae to get close to Bok Man Heum’s family.
Falling in love with Bok Gwi Ju led Do Da Hae to end her relationship with him, hoping her adoptive mother would stop targeting his family. In the trailer for episode nine, Do Da Hae firmly tells Baek Il Hong to leave Bok Man Geum’s family alone and declares her desire to stop being a fraud.
“Do Da Hae firmly asks Baek Il Hong not to disturb Bok Man Geum’s family life.”
The intriguing dynamics between Do Da Hae and Bok Gwi Ju keep viewers hooked. Will they reconcile and be together despite the obstacles? Keep watching The Atypical Family to find out!
