The Atypical Family (2024) 히어로는 아닙니다만
Directed by Jo Hyun-tak, starring Chun Woo-hee and Jang Ki-yong.
Only two episodes have been aired and I'm so underwhelmed with this new fantasy series for which I had high hopes. I like the lead actors, I like the story with the fantasy element, but it's all a bit weird and not captivating (yet). It certainly doesn't capitalise on its promising premise. The biggest problem I have with this show is that the characters are not appealing and I don't care about them at all. I also don't like the scam plot, and it feels uncomfortable watching it unfold. And to scare Gwi-ju's daughter with a stalker is soooo wrong.
I did like the start of episode 2 where we see a young Gwi-ju discovering his supernatural gift. Once he realised that a happy moment for him could be a miserable moment for someone else, he couldn't enjoy his happy memory anymore and could not go back to that part of his past. Episode 2 ends with a twist which made me curious about the time-travel part, but I'm still not sure whether to keep watching this or putting it on hold. Maybe for the better that it's an ongoing series because binge-worthy this is not.
