A-not-so-Typical K-drama
Atypical family is not your typical Kdrama and I think that's very clear from the description itself. I always love to watch romcoms, melo, and thrillers, but I always find these dramas very refreshing. One thing I have noticed with Netflix is that they mostly like to take these kind of 'out-of-the-box' dramas.Now there's a lot of things I liked and disliked about this series that I will explain below.
The Good
1. The Plot
A family with superpowers? YES!! I don't think we have any Kdrama about a 'family' with superpowers. What I am glad about is that they didn't overdo it unlike some English series that I have watched. I was excited about the plot, but as the story developed, I had different opinions.
2. The Music
The music is great! Especially 'I see you' by Lee Sora. As soon as I heard that song playing, i felt like I was flying and transcended to another universe. None of the music are dramatic. They are soothing? (I am not getting the right word here)
3. The Acting
I have to say, the acting convinced me. More than the adult actors, the child actors did an amazing job.
4. The Atypical Family
I loved how everyone overcame their differences and bonded very well. A superpower family bonding with the family trying to scam them was heartwarming (you'll understand when you watch it.) I won't go into the details because that has spoilers.
The Underwhelming aspects
1. The Story
As much as I liked the plot, I felt like the script was lacking as the series progressed. Don't get me wrong, from 1-8 episodes I really liked it. 9-11 episodes were emotional, but I felt it a little skippable. 12th episode could have been a little longer. What I am trying to say here is that the 9-11 episodes couldn't grab my interest and attention as much as the first 8 episodes.
2. The Chemistry
The chemistry between the main lead was a bit unsatisfying for me. Not that they lacked chemistry, but after a point, I couldn't connect with them too much. I liked the chemistry between the sisters of the main leads more.
3. The Ending
Usually I like happy endings. But what happened with this? The Ending was good but bland. More like abrupt? It is like that food that tastes good but makes you feel like something more could have made it better.
Overall, this is a good watch and I would recommend everyone to give this a try keeping aside your bias after reading all the reviews.
