In "The Atypical Family," Jang Ki Yong takes on the character of Bok Gwi Joo, who is described as a "depressed time traveler."

According to Jang Ki Yong, it was the stage in his life where he felt "comfortable" and experienced having no problems.

The actor also added that the only thing that he had to do at the time was study and play.

"When I was free of worries and full of confidence, those were my school days. Those were the times when I ate lunch during lunch, played soccer, and spent every day without worries.Just thinking about those times makes me feel happy."

As for his "The Atypical Family" co-star, Chun Woo Hee expressed satisfaction in her life, but if there's one moment that she would like to revisit, it would be the "unhappiest" part of her life.

"The current situation is not perfect, but I am satisfied. However, if I have to go, I will go to a time when I was unhappy and change it."
