Uma Família Inusitada (2024)

One of the best kdramas ive watched

I cannot name any fault in this kdrama other than the fact it had to finish at 12 episodes and couldnt go on until 16 episodes.
It was a kdrama that portrayed many emotions and had breathtaking acting in it. The development of characters and the slight hints from the beggining to the final episode was amazing and each actor portrayed their role perfectly. I wish we can get a season 2 about how Bok nu-ri got Bok Gwi joo back from the past , i think it would make an amazing season 2. Actors I would like to point out Jank Ki yong with his amazing portrayal of Bok gwi-ju , Chun woo hee and her excellent portraying of her character and ryu abel and choi kwang rok and finally kim su hyun i think that these characters were some of the best characters in the series as they really had great acting and created an interesting , fun and calm drama which was a great way to spend time

A Hard To Forget - Kdrama

= Edited Review =

So I finally finished watching this show and it gave me a mix of emotions, I was sad one moment, almost crying, but then I was laughing like crazy, both feeling in a single episode, now imagine it during the entire show? Truly a really well done and unique story.
This drama is so different from everything I've seen in my life watching kdrama, such an original plot, I'm amazed by it. Also, I'm glad I had the opportunity to give this one a try.
But the reason I don't give it a 10 it's because... The final moments of the show. By the episode 9 things started to get way too fast, it was kinda hard to understand what was happening. it seemed like the directors wasted time with useless scenes that it didn't give them enough time to create a better ending. I felt like they were rushing everything in only 3 episodes to finally finish the show.
And what we say about the ending?
We got a happy ending? Yes we got a happy ending.
We fully understood how we got this happy ending? No, we clearly don't.
I mean, I can understand their son's power but how a 5 years old managed to save a 30'y man that was supposedly in a middle of a fire?
Just... How that happened?
How did this child do it?
I mean, I'm not complaining since we got our happy ending but as I said before, things were way too rushed in my opinion. That's why I don't think this show deserves a 10 completely. The ending for me is the more important thing in a story and this show's ending... Wasn't that good as the story was itself.

But anyway, I liked the show. It made my cry so many times as I laughed too. I hated some characters but then all of the suddenly I started to love them.
I loved the Female Lead in this show since she was so different from the ones I'm used to. She was quite badass.
I loved all the stuff about Father and Daughter relationship.
I also liked how the FL "mother" showed that she really loved her as a daughter.

ANYWAY!

Although the story is a bit confusing and the ending wasn't what I wanted... This show is totally worth to try. It's been so long since I watched a Kdrama that left me with this "empty" feeling from reality. I wish I could forget everything about this show so I could watch it all over again...

Since you don't know this show yet, I recommend you to enjoy every single piece of it

TIME TRAVEL BUT DONE EVEN BETTER

if theres one thing i love, ITS TIME TRAVEL PLOTS! oh.my.god.

this kdrama WILL NOT disappoint you!!!

everything about it is so perfect, from casting, to chemistry, to plots, to character development, everything! i legit have nothing to complain about except for the fact that it ended so fast without giving us more insight on how the hell she has gwijus child when he basically disappeared LMAOO and what the sons power is, and did the son actually bring back gwiju or…🙂‍↕️

but really, the main couple in here is EVERYTHING. their chemistry is no joke seriously. the moment i saw their photoshoot (that one pic with the apple hoooh🥵) i knew i had to watch this. both actors did so well with their characters, it was truly an honour to have followed this kdrama whilst it was still uploading.

really, i would even say one of the best kdramas of 2024 so far. and even the OST is amazing!! i literally added it to my spotify playlist because its so good! so unique and it makes me feel giddy everytime i hear it lol

just overall, everything was perfect and amazing. i can’t recommend it enough, watch this !!!

A drama with no saint, please bring your brain here

Someone said to me, "Sometimes you need to leave your brain to enjoy a kdrama, just watch and enjoy bro!" That 'sometimes' is NOT this drama. Please bring your brain, you need that. Also bring your empathy. You will enjoy this more with both.

It's a drama with a very well written plot. It makes you guessing, make theories, broke your theories, give surprise, bring you to a journey of storytelling that is so refreshing and trilling. You can shrink the story of this drama into a sentence that describe a common fated love story, but it really more than that. It tackled the emotional side of you, also the brainy nerdy side of you.

The characters are lovable, but not in the way it usually are. If you're searching for 'green flag', 'rainforest' kind of characters, you'll find none here. What we have are complex flawed human that bring their own painful past. No heroes, no saint, no Gandalf. But if you watch it with caution and empathy, you'll get attached to all of them at the end. One reason why all of them are lovable, because every single of them get a trope that somehow disregarded by a lot of kdrama watchers these days: 'character development'. And like every part of this drama. The development written so well. Sometimes it written subtly, but never sudden flip.

This is a drama with no filler. The plot is packed, quite fast paced, but not rushed. No characters is forgotten, even until the end. It is that well planned.

The visual from setting, costume, make up, camera works, colouring, cinematography in general are top notch. I know Sky Castle is director's highest rated works. But I believe this is his masterpiece. And the soundtracks... award worthy! It consist of generally 3 songs. But all of them bring this drama alive and emotion. The magic they have... that can change emotions with every scenes. The composer you are Jung Jae Hyung...

And I'm forever thankful for director Jo Hyun Taek to bring me to Chun Woo Hee. The greatest actress of her generation. All actors in this drama act so good. Jang Ki Yong expression is no joke, he becomes better and better in his art. Whole Bok family and scammer family are full of great actors, both senior and junior actors. But among them, Park So Yi shining here. This girl has bright future in acting industry. Ten years from now we will see this drama again and reminiscing it as one of her great work among many.

And the whole comment section of this drama is MVP. It's so fun reading theories, making theories, debunked, get trivia. It's so fun. It's really really fun watch it on going. I'll never experience that again but I'll rewatch this drama again and again. You always can get new things after every rewatch. 💯

Btw, my first 10/10 kdrama, welcome to the club kiddo.

Journey of Atypical Family to A typical Family !

A lot of you enjoyed the show only to be disappointed by the ending ...most of you loved the romance and the equations that developed by the end ...but here's me who needs a S2 so that I can witness possibly the best use of all their powers ....I wish for a money heist with these characters ...i mean just think about it we have the best swindlers in town under the roof --

A perfect plan by do da hee and her mother , researched by her uncle and sister, all the possible combinations of past present and future studied carefully by gwi jo and his mother and in case something goes wrong ...just jump off the building and fly away ! the perfect escape but alas the kdrama writers lack so much in terms of creativity that now I don't even end up disappointed -- i am only surprised if they don't disappoint which rarely happens !

Story -- bok gwi ju who belongs to a family of supernatural beings falls for a seemingly ordinary girl and chaos follow !
is this girl the end to their misery (due to lost powers) or is she going to add in the lot ... watch to unravel !

The first half of the drama promises a lot more suspense than the second half pretty much of which focuses on already built equations between characters and caters to the romantic aspect of drama-- by the end things get wrapped up rather quickly adding to the shitty-ness of already written mediocre script !

that being said I liked the drama a lot even tho i sounded otherwise till now - I love the character development for every character and the over all setting i love everything about gwi jo's family ....
every person is so unique and so is their story line -- i loved the dynamics of I-na and do da hee , of her sister and ML's sister , between do da hee and her mother , between do daa hee and ml's sister ! -- all of which i'll cherish despite the ending !
I also love the aspect of gwi joo going to past it is well thought of ! -- even tho a lot of questions still remain I think it is a pretty great watch even then !

ps. i also ship do daa hee's sister and gwi jo's sister !

I do not have a lot to say about it but it was definitely a pleasant surprise !

I almost dropped it but decided not to, and I was wrong.

The first three episodes were kinda interesting, but after that, it just got more and more boring. The only thing I actually liked about the show was how the female characters acted! That’s it. Everything else was poorly written, and seriously, the lead actor's performance? Ugh, it was so bad. This was my first time checking out a drama with Ki Yong, and I don't think I'll be back for more. His acting was just painful to watch—his reactions, his lines, those weird smiles he kept flashing, I ended up skipping like 80% of his emotional scenes 'cause they were just too cringy. Even the scenes with his daughter felt like they were written and acted badly. Honestly, most of the characters were badly written, but the lead? Such a loser dad and human being, zero charm in his character. And don't even get me started on that haircut—ugh!

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this drama. The story started off unique, but the way it ended was just a mess. The scenes were poorly written and made no sense, especially the ending—it was super bad. It's disappointing to see such shoddy writing in a drama in 2024. On the bright side, I really liked how the female lead acted. This is actually the second time I've watched a drama for her, and she really deserves to be in a hit drama and get more recognition.

Must watch for Unique, Crisp Story & Flawless Acting | Mixed feels for Ending

This drama blends superheroes, con-artists, and time travel in a rom-com—a unique mix that works surprisingly well. Weekly episodes kept me intrigued with their perfect balance of plot, acting, short format, and music. Rated 8 (Great with Few Flaws) because the ending, while fitting the "atypical" theme, left mixed feelings.

➥ Strengths:
✦ Unique Story: Fantasy, romance, suspense, comedy, and heavy topics (trauma, depression, death, school bullying, body image) are all given proper attention with satisfying conclusions or hints for the future.
✦ Pace: Loving the short formats. Initial episodes build the foundation, then the plot picks up, giving answers and introducing new suspense/twists.
✦ Acting: Flawless. Main leads have natural chemistry. Supporting characters also shine, offering insights into their own stories/challenges/motives.
✦ Music: "Lee Sora’s I See You" is haunting and perfectly placed, adding to the drama's mysterious and atypical nature (Link Below)
✦ Cinematography: Aesthetically pleasing with well-blended fantasy effects. Visuals of characters' clothes, make-up, and settings are balanced and fitting.

➥ Weak Points:
Ending 5 Minutes: True to the atypical theme, but the implied conclusion leaves mixed feelings. Some may want a more detailed explanation, though the time jump is lovely to watch.

➥ Overall:
Highly recommend binge-watching this drama—a neat package of romance, suspense, superpowers, family/friend support, scams, comedy, time travel, and action. The cinematography and music enhance the viewing experience, making it a delight to watch!

bittersweet and full of powers!

Overall I really liked it!
For me it has been one of the best dramas that has come out in 2024
an original script, outstanding performances and very interesting plots
The chemistry of the leading couple was very good 💞
in love with the bok ina characters and their plot of friendship, power and possible love interest in the future 🤭
The ending was bittersweet and confusing... I interpreted it in the way that he was happy and everything fell into place.
I'm sorry I need more chapters, 12 weren't enough for me... apart from that, everything was very good!

Equal parts enjoyable and frustrating

Probably the biggest drawback for The Atypical Family is that the FL is unlikeable at first and then the ML starts becoming more and more unlikeable so I was never excited for them to get together. I was getting frustrated first with the FL's character and then annoyed with the ML because of his callous behaviour towards his daughter. For that reason, I could not properly enjoy the series as a romance.

On the plus side, I enjoyed many of the side characters especially the daughter. What an amazing potential she has. I am glad she got a good chunk of the storyline. Else the main plot would have been more boring. I also loved the sister Dong Hee and Grace's back and forth. They livened up the series.

The plot itself was good. Pacing is slow but 12 episodes were good for it.

Personally, the ending was a bit over the top. There was no need for that but if you like fluff then you might enjoy it because if you want logic, it leaves you with many questions. You will just have to accept it at face value. Let's just say I didn't hate it.

Till the end, I wasn't super thrilled with the ML. I find him quite clueless, stubborn having a one-track mind who did just the bare minimum.

The OST is nice. Nothing exceptional that stood out for me.

Not as good as expected

I was really (really REALLY) looking forward to this drama. It was for me THE first half 2024 drama (I was soooo excited to watch it, just couldn’t wait !!).
I didn’t read anything about it before watching so I only knew it was about a « super heroes family » who lost their super powers. And also that Chun Woo Hee and Jang Ki Yong were FL and ML.

All episodes were finally available on Netflix, to start watching :)))

First thing I’ve really loved : the 5 stars casting !!! There is not only Chun Woo Hee (in my top 10) and Jang Ki Yong (in my top 10). There is also Ryu Abel (also in my top 10), Park So Yi (she was so great in See you in my 19th life), Claudia Kim (I’ve liked to hate her in GyeongSeong Creature), Oh Man Seo (nice father in SitR), Go Doo Shim (I’ve liked her in Our Blues) Moon Woo Jin & Kim Soo In (they were both excellent as young FL & ML in IOTNBO) !!! So just perfect casting :))))))

About the drama, the first episodes were great. The drama is about super power recovering, intra family relationships, healing, love, scams…. lot of good things/topics.
But to be honest, the more I watched episodes the more I found it boring.
From my point of view, good/big potential of story was not used… it is a shame !
The show has quickly turned into a soft, predictable and a bit boring or insipid one. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it was not good. There was just a lack of intensity and action (remember, we’re talking about « super heroes » main characters here !!!).

Other point, FL & ML chemistry is not the best one I’ve seen (not the worst one either). I think Jang Ki Yong’s acting skills are better when he portrays « dark » characters (like in My Mister). I didn’t like his « in love » acting. Chun Woo Her’s acting was better but she cannot carry chemistry alone.

To summarize => waste of potential.
I was a bit disappointed because I expected much more from this drama. It is not a bad one nor a good one. Only a average one that won’t be part of my Top 10.
Didn’t pay attention to OST.
No rewatch value for me (I rather rewatch better dramas/movies with main actors, like Be melodramatic, My Mister, Our love story, See you in my 19th life, GyeongSeong Creature or IOTNBO)

That perfect 12 episodes drama we long for!!!

While everyone seems to be running after 'Lovely Runner' or 'QOT,' I strongly believe that this show surpasses them both combined. 🤌🏻✨
Despite its finale is so soon , it remains vastly underrated, and getting minimal attention from audiences. It's truly a gem of a series, having impeccable writing throughout.

Every episode has been consistently engaging and compelling, leaving no room for boredom or disappointment. This show proves how just twelve tightly-written episodes can greatly enhance the viewing experience🫶🏻✨

Although some people complained about it but for me the ending was incredibly refreshing. I personally adored it. It was totally unexpected, beautiful, and filled with deeper meaning.

Anyone who loves phycological romance with fantasy genre shouldn't miss this one.

Honestly I don't know what's worse

All the fatshaming in this kdrama that was so over the top or

The fact that the ML is an alcoholic who doesn't even care about his own daughter at all. They barely talk to the point she can't even open up to him about her problems and especially about her mental health. She clearly has depression and thinks that it's her fault that the mom died. He only tried to comfort her later on, which was super awkward to watch, and honestly he could still care more about her than he did at the end.

You know why he stopped drinking alcohol? Which was by the way completely unrealistic too because he was addicted to alcohol for YEARS but then stops basically over night completely. No, not for his daughter to finally start being a better father NO no, but for a stranger woman. Sure he doesn't stop because of FL right away, but still pretty soon and just for her.

Personally it pisses me off. I have depression myself, I know how hard it can be to take care of yourself when you go through a hard time but he is clearly depressed and alcoholic for over a decade. It's not normal. He should go to therapy. I get it's hard but you can't just not care for your own kid?? In the drama she is around 13 years old which means she is starting puberty so that's when a parent should be there during such an important age. ESPECIALLY when she only has one parent. But it's pretty clear from start til end that his parents raised his daughter, not him, otherwise the dynamics would be different.

His daughter has better dynamics with the female lead, from the start til the end, despite that she is a stranger to her. She is the one who comforted her when she needed it. Who listened to her. Who took care of her once she started living there. Didn't even see her dad cook for her at all, but she did. How comes a woman that they only know a few weeks/months cares more for his daughter than his own dad??

I honestly don't understand how so many people genuinely don't care about this part, it pisses me off and I will give a low rating because it's an important thing in this kdrama not just a side story. Just a big disappointment.
