𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝑰𝒏 "The Atypical Family" - Series Review

I love movies about superpowers and I think that's one of the few things that would draw me in to see any country movie aside Korean series lol. It has become a habit for me to see at least one kdrama every week, and I decide which to do a review for. Sadly, not all make it to my review list because they turn out to be less than expected or over hyped by those who recommend them.

This series "The Atypical Family" made it to my review list for so many reasons and it's highly recommended to anyone who would love all I'm going to mention about it especially super powers hehe.

A 12 episode series released in May 2024, hopefully there will be no season two.

Honestly, I never liked the title of this drama and I still don't like it even after I'm done seeing it. If you ask me why, I can't say any reason, I just never liked it and it was one of the reason it took this long for me to see it after it's release and amidst the hype in comments. What drew me in then?

I came across a scene in the series on YouTube shorts that caught my attention totally and I had to download to watch immediately. The characters, the storyline, the super but not heroes, I got hooked till the end so here I am writing a review from my experience.

A family blessed with super powers, mother (can dream of the future), son (can go back to his past happy moments), daughter (can fly) and a granddaughter who later (could read someone's thought with her eyes). This family began to lose their power as modern day changes happen to them... Mother (Insomnia), Son (Depression), and Daughter (Obesity).

A young lady gets involved with the family and somehow, they began to reconnect to their super powers again but not as before. It also shows the lady's family who are after the wealth of the atypical family without the knowledge of them having superpowers.

I love how good the story developed and the changes in their powers they experienced, it made viewers not able to guess much what happens next. And there were a lot of suspense with what really happened before the Son of the house became depressed (one interesting side of the story, I must say).

My all time favourite in this series has got to be about the granddaughter, her super power, her invisible life in school and her cute love life with one of my favourite child actor character.

Park So-Yi is a child actor in Korean movies and series that I've come to love so much, she's so good with her roles especially in the "See You In My 19th Life" series where I first saw her. The role she took on this "The Atypical Family" was so refreshing to watch, as she acted out very differently from what I know her to be.

Her crush in this series Moon Woo-Jin also caught my attention too, he played in the last series I reviewed "Castaway Diva" and he didn't change much in the kind of roles he took on this one. The story of this two added sweet flavour to the storyline for me, they were a good break from all the suspense in the family story.

I also love the father daughter relationship that played out in this series, not the perfect kind but just okay and close to reality. There are other characters that gave comedy, action and crazy breaks in this series to make it worth your time even more.
