The Atypical Family (2024) narrates the tale of the Bok Family endowed with extraordinary abilities. Regrettably, their powers fade away due to exposure to contemporary lifestyles.
This South Korean drama stars Jang Ki Yong and Park So Yi as the primary characters. Let’s delve into the roster of superpowers possessed by the Bok Family!
1. Bok Man Huem
Bok Man Huem (Ko Du Shim), the mother of Bok Gwi Ju (Jang Ki Yong), possesses the power to foresee the future. She experiences visions of the future through her dreams, yet struggles with insomnia hindering her ability to sleep and dream. Thanks to massages and tea concocted by Do Da Hae (Chun Woo Hee), Bok Man Huem’s strength gradually resurfaces, albeit not entirely.
2. Eom Soo Goo
Eom Soo Goo (Oh Man Seok), Bok Man Huem’s husband, is the sole member of the Bok family devoid of powers. Nevertheless, he holds knowledge about the strengths of his wife, children, and grandchildren. Offspring of the Bok Family are guaranteed to inherit superpowers, even if they marry individuals lacking such abilities. This holds true for Se Yeon, Bok Gwi Ju’s wife, who gave birth to Bok I Na (Park So Yi).
3. Bok Dong Hee
Bok Dong Hee (Claudia Kim), the eldest daughter of the Bok Family, possesses the ability to fly. However, Dong Hee loses her strength due to weight gain. She copes with stress by overeating, having formerly been a supermodel and the face of her partner’s beauty clinic, Jo Ji Han (Choi Seung Yoon).
4. Bok Gwi Ju
Bok Gwi Ju, the second child of the Bok family, can revisit cherished moments from the past. However, his power wanes due to depression, leaving him devoid of happy memories. Each journey to the past renders the surroundings gray, except for memories involving Do Da Hae, which remain vibrant. Remarkably, Do Da Hae is the only person he can interact with during these temporal excursions.
5. Bok I Na
Bok I Na, the daughter of Bok Gwi Ju and Se Yeon, raises suspicions from Bok Man Huem regarding her biological lineage, as her powers remain dormant. Nonetheless, it appears that Bok I Na does possess a power she’s unaware of; her eyes turn blue whenever her ability activates. Speculation among viewers suggests her power might involve mental abilities like telepathy or mind control.
The resurgence of the Bok Family’s powers coincides with Do Da Hae’s arrival. While her initial intentions may be dubious, perhaps Do Da Hae will genuinely embrace the Bok Family?
