Bok Dong Hee, portrayed by Claudia Kim, is a member of the Bok family and the sibling of Bok Gwi Joo (Jang Ki Yong). She fervently desires ownership of her family’s fitness center building, pushing her to seek marriage hastily.
Dong Hee often appears intimidating, especially when confronted with Do Da Hae (Chun Woo Hee), who seeks to marry her younger brother. Her demeanor resembles that of a domineering sister-in-law ready to assert herself.
Despite her affluent background and apparent freedom, Dong Hee grapples with several life challenges. Here are three issues in Bok Dong Hee’s life in The Atypical Family:

Her weight gain has deterred customers from her girlfriend’s liposuction clinic, hesitant to seek treatment there after witnessing Dong Hee’s condition. Despite expressing a desire to diet and having access to her family’s fitness center, Dong Hee struggles to resist the urge to eat, particularly when distressed.
2. Inability to Fly

However, modern lifestyle diseases have robbed them of this gift. Dong Hee, in particular, struggles due to her obesity, hindering her attempts to regain her ability to fly. Dieting may be the key to restoring this lost ability.
3. Exploited by Romantic Partners

In her pursuit of love and marriage, Dong Hee lavishes her partners with extravagant gifts, depleting her finances and maxing out her credit cards. Despite her generosity, she is sometimes used and manipulated by men who avoid commitment, citing financial concerns or her current condition as excuses.
Despite her affluent upbringing, Bok Dong Hee faces weight-related challenges, exploitative relationships, and the loss of her family’s extraordinary abilities in The Atypical Family. Will she overcome these obstacles? Tune in to the drama to find out.
