Jang Ki Yong And Chun Woo Hee Confirmed To Star In New Drama

 

Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee will be starring in the new JTBC drama “Although I Am Not a Hero” (literal title)!

 

“Although I Am Not a Hero” tells the story of a supernatural family who lost their powers. The drama will be directed by Cho Hyun Tak, who helmed the dramas “Maids,” “Mirror of the Witch,” “SKY Castle,” and “Snowdrop,” and will be scripted by writer Joo Hwa Mi, who wrote dramas including “Waiting for Love,” “Marriage, Not Dating,” “Introverted Boss,” and “Meow, the Secret Boy.”

 

Jang Ki Yong will take on the role of Bok Gwi Joo, a man who lost his psychic power due to depression. Bok Gwi Joo’s supernatural ability enables him to return to the past but only to the times he was happy. As he can’t change the past, there is nothing he can do other than dwell on his past happiness, which is also fading away along with his ability. However, Bok Gwi Joo’s unhappy life faces a change when Do Da Hae appears in front of him.

 

Chun Woo Hee will play the role of Do Da Hae, a suspicious woman who appears in front of a family with supernatural powers. While planning to take on a new challenge, Do Da Hae gets entangled with Bok Gwi Joo, who is suffering from depression and has lost his psychic power, and his family, who also lost their abilities due to insomnia, bulimia, and a smartphone addiction, and starts living with the Bok family as if it is fated to be.

 

Jang Ki Yong, who was discharged from the military earlier in February, remarked, “It’s been a long time since I’ve worked on a project, so I’m working on it half with excitement and half with anticipation. I will keep this pleasant excitement until the end and greet viewers with a great project. Please show lots of anticipation and interest.”

 

Chun Woo Hee, who received great love from viewers through various projects, also shared, “‘Although I Am Not a Hero’ is a heartwarming drama about family and happiness. I’m looking forward to what my chemistry will be like with great actors including Jang Ki Yong. I hope we will be happy during filming. Please show lots of interest [for our drama].”

“Although I Am Not a Hero” is set to premiere in 2024.

Chun Woo Hee Becomes Unexpectedly Intertwined With Jang Ki Yong's Supernatural Family In "The Atypical Family" Posters & Teaser

 

 

“The Atypical Family” tells the story of a supernatural family who lost their powers after suffering from very realistic issues. The drama is directed by Cho Hyun Tak of “SKY Castle” and penned by writer Joo Hwa Mi of “Marriage, Not Dating” and writer Kang Eun Kyung of “Dr. Romantic.” Chun Woo Hee stars as Do Da Hae, a mysterious woman who appears in front of Bok Gwi Joo’s (Jang Ki Yong’s) family.

 

On April 8, “The Atypical Family” unveiled character posters of the Bok family including Bok Gwi Joo (Jang Ki Yong), Bok Man Heum (Go Doo Shim), Bok Dong Hee (Claudia Kim). Bok Yi Na (Park So Yi), and Uhm Soon Goo (Oh Man Seok) as well as Do Da Hae (Chun Woo Hee).

 

Jang Ki Yong plays the “depressed time traveler” Bok Gwi Joo who was once a firefighter with positive energy and a strong sense of calling but is now having trouble getting through each day. Although Bok Gwi Joo has the ability to time slip to when he was happy, he loses both his happiness and special ability due to an unexpected accident. Bok Gwi Joo’s poster captures his sad gaze and his pained shadow, which reflects his current sadness.

 

 

Chun Woo Hee takes on the role of the suspicious woman and “polite trespasser” Do Da Hae who suddenly appears in front of Bok Gwi Joo. Unlike Bok Gwi Joo who is shrouded in darkness, Do Da Hae’s poster is bright and vibrant in sharp contrast with Bok Gwi Joo’s poster, raising anticipation for how they will save each other.

 

 

The uneasy expression of Bok Man Heum, who is described as a “clairvoyant dreamer who can’t sleep,” foreshadows the changes that will come to her family. Her dignified shadow conveys the weight of her responsibility as the Bok family’s pillar.

 

Spoiler

 

Bok Dong Hee is a “flight ability user who is like a feather” who was once a runway model. However, after retirement, she picked up weight and no longer has the ability to fly. Viewers are curious to find out how the unpredictable Bok Dong Hee will become intertwined with Do Da Hae as well.

 

Spoiler

 

Unlike the other characters, Bok Gwi Joo’s daughter Bok Yi Na does not have a shadow. “Transparent presence” Bok Yi Na has a sharp gaze behind her big glasses, making viewers curious to find out why she does not have a shadow.

 

Spoiler

 

Although he does not have a special ability, father Uhm Soon Goo takes great care of the family as an expert in housekeeping and looking after those with special abilities.

 

Spoiler

 

 

The production team shared, “Do Da Hae appears in front of Bok Gwi Joo, whose present is broken as he is confined in the past, and the changes she will bring to the Bok family will be interesting. The drama will deliver a new form of entertainment different from preexisting fantasy romance.”

 

“The Atypical Family” will premiere on May 4 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

Episode 1

 

I think the underlying tone of this drama would be "healing". The whole family lost their special power, and the female lead brought change and helped them overcome their problems.

 

I'm surprised with Jang Ki Yong's role—I did not realise he plays a widower and has a 13 years old daughter (Park So Yi – she's grown so much. No longer the tiny girl that Rowoon could put on his shoulder). She's a reclusive person, who thinks her birth is the beginning of the family's misfortune. Her power is yet unknown.

 

Gu Doo Shim suffers from insomnia, so she lost her power to dream and see the future. Her husband is a normal, powerless man who tirelessly takes care of them like a housekeeper. Claudia Kim plays Ki Yong's Noona who suffers from obesity.

 

At first, I didn't know from the previews how or why female lead Chun Woo Hee would be that "special" person to this family, but after watching this episode, I now understand. Turns out, interestingly, she and her side of the family are swindlers!!! They deliberately targeted this family. She and her "sister" have already infiltrated. Woo Hee is earning brownie points directly from Gu Doo Shim, whereas her sister is the new PT at the gym, run by Jang Ki Yong.

Chun Woo Hee has a trauma, she fears fire (on a stove). Although it may sound like a lie when she told Ki Yong she was saved before by someone who looks like him, but I think there is some truth in it. Ki Yong may have time-travelled and saved her from a fire.

 

Not sure if it is worth watching through and through, but will continue for now.

Such a strange drama with peculiar feeling and the colour theme is muted (actually the cinematographic is quite nice for my eyes, their family lunch in the garden somehow reminded me of Alice Tea Party, the flower colour was popping out with grey surrounding colour at one point). 

 

I also not sure what to make of this drama. It might have potential, but not sure if I can handle all of the strangeness. Maybe will check few more episodes then decide. 

[SilverMoonTea]

Ep 2 is kind of better, the scammer DH seems getting scammed and kept losing money instead. I'm still not sure which portion DH lied and which are not. She mentioned she grew up without her mom, and this also could possibly be true that her family might not also be her biological family? 

 

I think the most interesting part of this drama is the bond between IN, GJ and DH and how they will grew up attached to each other more. I found the sister storyline not too amusing, it reminded me of SMA old drama Oh My Venus where she also use a body fat suit. 

 

Will continue and see how it goes, probably I can do 12 episodes if it continue to be intriguing.

[mademoiselle]

@SilverMoonTea I find episode 2 slow. But I like the development for Yi Na. I'm delighted to see the two child actors, Moon Woo Jin and Kim Soo In (both were in It's Okay Not to be Okay as the child version of Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji), and interested to see what it meant of them in the story with Yi Na. I also liked the slight changes between her and Gwi Joo.

[mademoiselle]

The whole presentation is still very strange, and I still find myself unsure with this show. I'm definitely not excited about it.

 

I thought their powers were boring. What is the point of having the ability to travel to the past if you cannot do anything about it? Worse of all, it only made that person depressed, which is Gwi Joo's current state because he was so obsessed with going back that he uncontrollably return even if he didn't intend to and causes him to neglect his present.

 

Same with the sister. What is the point of power of flight as a supermodel? I am interested to know why she became obese.

 

As for little Yi Na, I adore Park So Yi. Hope to see more story about her. But boy, I keep getting a bit sidetrack by the other two kids because they both played the child version of Song Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun in It's OK Not To Be OK that I kept thinking they should be the OTP 😅

 

This story is definitely a very different take to the typical superhero stories. I guess I am interested to see how Do Da Hae change the family's powers. 🤔 Even though it seems that she is lying to Gwi Joo, I do believe there was some truth in the lies. The reason Gwi Joo could touch the yellow door and get to the school might be because he was meant to save Da Hae. He just hasn't found the right path to get to her.

 

On the other hand, her lies about Gwi Joo handing her the marriage paper is such a huge gamble. But she probably thought she'd be out of that place before he finds out. Lol.
