Remarks

by cynlynn

[Cyn-opsis] Do Da-hae (Chun Won-hee) comes from a gold-digger-family. but she's messing with the wrong chaebols. The Bok Family have superpowers. Fortunately for her, they have lost their superpowers with (relatable) mental health disorders. Unfortunately, for her and her family, they're reactivating their powers.

• Member | Superpower | Mental Disorder 
• ML (Jang Ki-young) | Time-travel to happy (past) times | Depression
• Mother | Precognition | Insomnia
• Sister | Flight | Bulimia
• Daughter | Telepathy | Phone Addiction

[Cast&Crew]

• Park So-yi, a 10'er (born in 2012)! Is she allowed to have a cute onscreen romance already? x_x (I'm too traditional for this new generation.)

[Ending] Happy...but so random!
