Claudia Kim’s new stills from JTBC’s weekend drama “The Atypical Family” have been released in advance of the show’s launch!
In “The Atypical Family,” a magical family that faced incredibly real-life issues eventually lost their abilities. The drama is written by Joo Hwa Mi of “Marriage, Not Dating” and Kang Eun Kyung of “Dr. Romantic,” and it is directed by Cho Hyun Tak of “SKY Castle.”
The recently disclosed stills depict Claudia Kim’s dramatic makeover as she adopts the persona of Bok Dong Hee, a former runway model who gained weight upon her retirement. She can be seen bringing a big bag of goodies closer to her body in one picture, which contrasts sharply with another of her on the runway when she looks sexy and captivating. Bok Dong Hee even lost her capacity to fly after putting on weight.
“Bok Dong Hee is like a character someone looks up to,” said Claudi Kim, who completely transformed herself to bring the persona to life. She struggles internally and has stress, but instead of comparing herself to other people, she uses her confidence to work on improving herself.
She continued, saying of her first try at special makeup, “The process was more challenging than I thought.” But after watching how the scenes portray Bok Dong Hee, I am appreciative as an actress that my character is enhanced [by special makeup].
The debut of “The Atypical Family” is scheduled for May 4.
