SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: 'The Atypical Family' is nearing its finale, Episode 8 left us with a whirlwind of cliffhangers and burning questions.

The discovery of an identical ring in the safe fuels the mystery, hinting at Gwi-ju's potential return trip through time. With Da-hae's lingering conflict and the looming alliance with the rival family, the Boks' future remains uncertain.

Episode 8 of 'The Atypical Family' throws a curveball at the potential alliance between the Boks and Da-hae's family. Gwi-ju prioritizes spending time with Da-hae, even sabotaging her attempts to secure another 'husband'.

We learn Gwi-ju's time travel abilities extend beyond shared happy memories, as he revisits Da-hae's past and comforts her after her father's death. Meanwhile, Mr. Bok's secret meeting with a female friend lands him in hot water, forcing him to steal the winning lottery ticket Da-hae provided to pay off a blackmailer.

On the other side, Grace attempts to make amends for injuring Do Dong-hee (Kim Soo-hyun). Despite initial resistance, Grace (Ryu Abel) pledges to help Dong-hee lose weight and find a husband so she can regain her flying ability.

I-na faces bullying at school, but Da-hae's uncle steps in to offer support. This interaction hints at a potential alliance between the families, as Da-hae's kin recognizes the Boks' unhappiness and sees a chance for mutual benefit.

The episode concludes with a surprising revelation. The Bok family ring found in Da-hae's possession was actually a gift from Gwi-Ju during a past encounter he doesn't remember. A matching ring in the Boks' safe further deepens the mystery, suggesting Gwi-ju may need to revisit the past yet again.

The jaw-dropping revelations in Episode 8 of 'The Atypical Family' leave us with a burning desire to see what unfolds next. Gwi-ju's sabotage of Da-hae's fake marriage plans and his focus on spending time with her suggest a deeper motive than just an alliance.

The discovery of the matching rings in Da-hae's possession and the Boks' safe hints at a significant connection to the past. Da-hae's stolen lottery ticket leaves the Boks in financial despair. Faced with this desperation, will Mrs. Bok and Dong-hee consider the potential alliance with Da-hae's family, despite their initial distrust?

The bullying at school could push In-a to confide in her family, potentially leading to a confrontation with the bullies or a school intervention. Will Da-hae's uncle continue to offer support, and could this spark a connection between the younger generations of both families?

With the Boks financially strapped and Gwi-ju's true motives potentially exposed, tensions are likely to rise. Could episode 9 culminate in a showdown between the Boks and Da-hae's family, or will they find a way to cooperate for a common goal? Only the episode 9 will tell.
