this isnt related at all to the show really, but did anyone else notice the actor of woori has hurt his ankle…
I didn't notice, but if that's the case, then yeah he might be injured IRL. Same with the actor playing Suji's dad when his eyes were red.
This is due to the nature of daily drama when they shoot the later episodes while the drama is already airing. So the actors have to continue acting even when they are sick or injured, otherwise they can't meet the deadline.
Episode 66Suji learns that Seonyoung is her mother. When she realizes that even Jangsu and Yunja already knew…
Thanks for the written preview. May I know from where you get this?
I thought you wrote this based on the preview we saw at the end of the earlier episode, but it seems that you were taking it (or translating it) from somewhere? :)
SY should have told the truth right away. She was conflicted in hurting both of her children. She was also scared…
I don't think it's Uri's fault, he didn't expect that SJ would be SY's lost daughter. And it's not his intention to keep the adoption secret anyway, he just hasn't got the chance to tell her.
It's clearly SY's fault for keeping on delaying in telling the truth. Now, she's not only being resented by SJ, but she might be resented by Uri as well for wrecking SJ again at a time when she's supposed to be happy after her being able to resolve the issue and coming back to the hospital.
As I said, the delay by SY in telling the truth to her daughter is now backfiring. Not only the mother-daughter relationship is affected, but the relationship between Suji and Uri is affected as well.
As I said, the SY's character is really unlikeable.
I really want to watch this but can someone tell if it has too heavy drama? I can't handle any heavy drama rn…
I am watching up to episode 3 now and I feel it is very heavy, but enjoyable at the same time.
I am not saying that it's a bad drama, I enjoy this drama very much. But be prepared for some "heaviness" in the topic -- including death and physical disability.
Good action movie, albeit a bit violent and brutal. In fact, some of the scenes are too brutal for the young FL, in my opinion. Some of the disturbing scenes include:
- When the young FL's little brother is killed after being stomped to death by the horses the bad guys are riding. - When the young FL was threatened with a knife and almost got killed before the ML came to the rescue. - When the young FL was caught after a failed revenge attempt to kill the villain -- her body and head were stomped by the bad guy's feet, her mouth was stuffed with morphine, and her neck was strangled almost to her death, again before the ML came to the rescue.
Kudos to Yang En You the child actress portraying the young FL, she managed to portray such a difficult character brilliantly at her age. I knew her from "Lighting Up The Stars" and I'm sure she will become a great actress someday.
The story itself is quite straightforward and predictable. The ML is a blind bounty hunter, and the FL and her little brother are orphans. Her brother was killed and the FL wanted to avenge her brother's death. She asked the ML for help, but he didn't want to help her.
The action scenes are very good, but again it's a bit too violent and brutal to my taste.
Overall, recommended to watch. You can watch on iQIYI.
I am hoping there will be a second season for this series. The timeline can start from the timeline when:
- Gwiju was declared missing after the fire; - How the families (both the Boks and sauna families) grieve for Gwiju's demise; - How Dahae found out that she's pregnant with Nuri; - How the family decides to raise Nuri and Ina after Gwiju's gone; - How Nuri is growing up (they might need to cast smaller kid for Nuri during his early years); - How Ina is growing up through her teenage years, how's her relationship with Junwoo, Hyerim and other friends (sad that they might need to cast an older actress for 16-18 yo Ina, or wait until Park So-yi is old enough to portray the older Ina character? Not too sure lol). - Up to the point 5-6 years later when Nuri decides to "pluck out" his dad from the past; and - Last but not least, to see how the whole family, including Ina, happy to see Gwiju is back.
Writer-nim and PD-nim, for your consideration. We love The Atypical Family soooo much!
i liked it, i think they could've gone into detail more about some things, and not rushed the ending, but overall…
agree, i think the second season can start from the timeline when gwiju was declared missing after the fire, and then when dahae found out that she's pregnant with nuri, and continue with ina and nuri growing up, how is the relationship between ina and junwoo, ina and hyerim and other friends, up to the point when nuri decided to "pluck out" his dad from the past.
It's not Tae Sang anymore, someone needs to change his character name to Ho Jae
This is open to debate. Ho Jae might be Tae Sang who got infected by the Najim parasite (without the serum that makes him look ugly like Seong Sim) and he managed to control the parasite, allowing him to be immortal. :)
I have just completed watching the last episode and the ending is a bit confusing.
(1) Why did Seong-Sim (the creature) attack Tae-Sang after killing all the Japanese assassins? Did she mistake Tae-Sang for the enemy? Chae-ok sacrificed herself to protect Tae-Sang, does it mean that Seong-Sim accidentally killed her own daughter with her tentacle?
(2) One of the last scenes shows Seong-Sim bringing the dead Chae-ok's body under the sea, and there's a Najim parasite swimming from the creature into Chae-ok's mouth. Was that the parasite on Seong-Sim's creature? Did she sacrifice herself for Chae-ok so she can continue to live with the parasite?
(3) Another scene shows Lady Maeda survived the bombing although she seemed to be barely alive with severe burns. Was Kato offering him the drink with the Najim parasite, so Maeda can continue to survive the burn wounds with the parasite?
(4) Another scene shows Tae-Sang in modern Seoul (?) but with the exact same face as before, looks like he's not ageing. And he was called Ho-jae. Did he become infected as well and can live long and immortal like a vampire/Dracula?
I'm quite disappointed that there's not much more screen time when the 3 kids (Seola, Jinho and Eun-byul) grow up at the orphanage. The 22-year time jump is too early imho.
And I am also quite disappointed with the adult versions of Seola and especially Jinho. Why does he impregnate Seola when his situation doesn't allow him to marry her? Hello, have you heard about a thing called birth control? And why can he easily be swung over to Ju-ryun at the exact time when he was supposed to propose to her?
I agree with mari1227's comment below, Jinho showed maturity and decency as a child, why did he become so inferior as an adult? His character reminds me of Jeong Jian's character in A Shop for Killers, she was so brave and was a fighter when she was a child, but very panicky and indecisive as an adult. A downgrade in character development.
I still find the SY character unlikeable. Her decision to still not tell SJ the truth is unbelievable.
She can just arrange for a family meeting for her to tell the truth in front of everyone, including SJ's father and grandmother if needed, and explain everything.
I don't understand what takes her so long to do that.
