As we approach the ending of The Atypical Family (2024), fans are eagerly speculating about the fate of Bok Gwi Ju (Jang Ki Yong). Mrs. Bok (Ko Di Shim) has a haunting dream where she sees her son’s funeral after he travels back in time to save Do Da Hae (Chun Woo Hee). This dream has sparked numerous theories about Gwi Ju’s potential demise. Here are three compelling theories that predict his death in the series finale.

In the main poster for The Atypical Family, Gwi Ju and Da Hae are seen holding hands and looking at each other warmly. However, fans noticed something eerie: Gwi Ju’s hand appears to be fading, and parts of his body look like they are burning. This has led to speculation that Gwi Ju might meet a tragic end. The visual clues in the poster seem to suggest that his fate is sealed, making viewers anxious about his future in the story.

Another theory stems from a fire that occurred 13 years ago, which was depicted in episode 3. During this scene, there is a glimpse of a colorful explosion on the 5th floor of a school where Gwi Ju was present. This explosion contrasts sharply with the otherwise gray and dark surroundings. Fans believe that this colorful blast could have injured Gwi Ju, hinting at his eventual death. The idea is that Gwi Ju’s inability to touch dark objects while traveling through time might have put him in a perilous situation.

The third theory revolves around the idea that Gwi Ju’s death might be a consequence of saving Da Hae. If Gwi Ju hadn’t gone back in time, Da Hae wouldn’t have survived. They both managed to move forward with their lives, but there could be unforeseen consequences for Gwi Ju. Since Da Hae was the first person he saved through time travel, it is possible that this act comes at a great personal cost. Perhaps Gwi Ju has unknowingly risked his own safety to save her.
Final Thoughts
These theories provide intriguing possibilities for how The Atypical Family might conclude. Personally, I think the show has done an excellent job of keeping us on the edge of our seats. The visual clues and plot twists have been masterfully woven to create a suspenseful narrative. Whether or not Gwi Ju meets his end, the journey has been captivating, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. What are your thoughts on these theories?
