Jang Ki Yong Loses His Supernatural Abilities Due To Depression In "The Atypical Family"

JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Atypical Family” has shared new stills of Jang Ki Yong!

“The Atypical Family” tells the story of a supernatural family who lost their powers after suffering from very realistic problems. The drama is directed by Cho Hyun Tak of “SKY Castle” and penned by Joo Hwa Mi of “Marriage, Not Dating” and Kang Eun Kyung of “Dr. Romantic.”

Jang Ki Yong will play 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-travel to when he was happy, he loses both his happiness and his special power due to an unexpected accident.

The newly released stills introduce viewers to Bok Gwi Joo, who became a firefighter in order to use his supernatural ability to save people. The first photo, which captures Bok Gwi Joo dressed in his firefighter uniform, gives a glimpse of his strong sense of duty.

In the next photo, Bok Gwi Joo’s sad facial expression, empty eyes, and the scattered bottles of alcohol around him seem to suggest that he is going through a difficult time. Now that he has developed depression and lost his abilities, Bok Gwi Joo can no longer time-slip to when he was happy. The drastic transformation piques curiosity about what kind of accident could have completely changed Bok Gwi Joo’s life.

Jang Ki Yong commented, “The premise of a supernatural family who lost their powers after suffering from very realistic issues appealed to me as something unique. It is not just a drama about supernatural abilities; it also tells the story of the family with those supernatural abilities. The story of Bok Gwi Joo and his family will bring laughter to viewers and also touch their hearts.”

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