The moment that saved them all — the day Ina was born

Throughout the episodes of The Atypical Family, we've seen how Ina's birthdate was shown to be cursed or at least believed to be cursed by I-na.

We saw her battle this out internally, and finally be freed of it in her first conversation with her father, Gwi-ju in episode 9, and how once again this date became a dreaded moment in the past. But this date, the most precious moment to Gwi-ju, is the one that saved them all.

In Gwi-ju's last moments in the present, he was transported back to this most precious memory escaping death. This chance allowed him to save Da-hae who would turn their failing superhero lives upside down for good and help save the two families together, 13 years later.

Everything started with I-na being born, it wasn't the end but the beginning as Gwi-ju said.

The ending of this drama, for me, is very The Atypical Family style. It is not a lot, but it is not empty. I think the more you ponder on it and understand what happened, you appreciate it more. Gwi-ju and Da-hae's son really put the story in its full circle.

For everyone who is more into healing aspects of this drama, they've gifted us that wonderful and brilliant episode 12, but the show's plot came full circle in the final episode. Brilliant show.
