Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee’s K-drama closes with the highest rating; the explanation of Netflix’s Atypical Family ending

The supernatural rom-com series Atypical Family on Netflix has concluded, despite keeping a respectable domestic viewership rating. With its captivating plot, the K-drama on Netflix tried to keep up but nonetheless fell short of expectations, especially in light of the build-up to Jang Ki Yong’s return. After the 12-episode run of the show ended, viewers were left with a lot of unanswered questions: Was the conclusion happy? Who made it out of the flames alive? And so forth. Who was this fascinating kid?

Atypical Family receives its greatest grade to date.
Nielsen Korea reports that the JTBC program scored an average nationwide rating of 4.9%, which was its highest rating to date. On Netflix, it holds its spot on the Number 4 spot in the non-English TV show category.

The explanation of the Atypical Family’s ending
When the eleventh episode ends and Bok Gwi Ju gets an injury mark on his neck, he starts to think that his mother’s dream about his death is finally coming true. The wound he received while trying to teach little Da Hae how to ride a bicycle while traveling back in time was the same wound Da Hae witnessed on her savior’s neck after a 13-year firefight. Though Gwi Ju chooses to keep it hidden from her, she finally finds out. In order to determine how much time he has left before passing away, Gwi Ju asks a pharmacist in the last episode how long the mark will endure.

After Dong Hee breaks up with Ji Han, Grace arranges for Dong Hee to see her uncle. Enraged by envy, Ji Han swears to ruin their happiness. He tries, but is unable, to threaten Dong Hee. When Da Hae sees that Gwi Ju is always wearing turtlenecks, she tries to investigate further by feeling around his neck when he is sleeping. She discovers a scar and realizes its significance. However, Gwi Ju requests that she keep this a secret from his family until after In Ha’s competition is over.

Bok In the school fire in Ha
During her debut performance, In Ha experiences stage fright as she nervously looks around the audience for her father. Gwi Ju is searching for solutions. A communication arrives from an old colleague who is trying to piece together information concerning a fire that happened thirteen years ago. Despite this, he makes the hasty decision to head back to the show, leaving Da Hae perplexed in his wake. To further complicate things, Gwi Ju’s father tells Da Hae about a terrifying dream he had about a fire at Yi Na’s school. In a different incident, Ji Han threatens to burn her house on fire if she doesn’t cooperate, all in an attempt to win back Dong Hee. Dong Hee questions his intentions, yet ironically, after she departs, Ji-Han unintentionally ignites a fire himself.

In the Atypical Family, who survives the fire?
In When Ha gets caught in a fire, Da Hae shows up to save her. But when the fire gets hotter and a big chunk of a damaged wall is about to collapse on them, Gwi Ju holds it up so they may escape. He tells her to run from the mayhem and says this is the best time for him to sneak back in time and save her. He disappears in spite of Da Hae’s cries for him to stay. Gwi Ju goes back in time to Ha’s birth and comes up with a scheme to keep Da Hae alive.

This time, when he walks into the ward, everything is colored, making him obvious to everyone. He spends a little minute with his deceased wife and then the colleague he lost in the accident before leaving the room. Before vanishing into the fire, Gwi Ju offers her family a ring and succeeds in saving the love of his life. The Bok family is then seen grieving for their son’s passing.

Is Gwi Ju no longer alive?
After five years, Bok Gwi Ju was nowhere to be found. Da Hae has a son and currently resides with the Bok family. The family has come to terms with Gwi Ju’s death during his time trip. There is a twist, though. The son of Gwi Ju and Da Hae, who likewise has the extraordinary ability to bring objects from the past, appears in the epilogue. Da Hae shows her son his dad’s picture in the hopes that he will resurrect him from the past, even though she knows it’s highly unlikely.

Laid stars Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet reveal the worst gifts their romantic partners gave them | Exclusive

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s character Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.

Stephanie, too, found herself unsure of what to make of a gift once, she reveals. “I had my heart broken many years ago, and then I didn’t talk to this person for five years. Then, they came out of the woodwork a few years ago and sent me a bag of gifts. One of them was a hat their mom had made. I am not wearing your mom’s hat,” says the actor.

Laid also stars Michael Angarano and Tommy Martinez. The series premieres on December 19 on Peacock and will be available in India on JioCinema.
