The Atypical Family

Is it worth it

A family of superpowers wrecked by depression, insomnia and phone addiction, which is a far better idea than the marketing suggested. It takes until the seventh episode to work out what it is, and once it does the back half is the most emotionally precise fantasy romance of 2024. Jang Ki Yong is quietly devastating as a man who can only travel back to moments when he was happy, and Chun Woo Hee gets the harder role and wins it. The early pacing is a real problem. Push through to episode seven.

Once blessed with unique superpowers, a family loses their abilities due to modern day problems — until a mysterious woman changes everything.

Slow start Episode 7. The con at the centre stops being a con, and both the show and its episode ratings step up and stay up.
