I'm Not a Robot

Usually I'm not into completely romantic dramas, where the only story and action sorrounds the two main leads and there's nothing else apart from this, but I have to confess that I liked this one. It's cutteness in action! There is a great chemistry between the main actors. I know a lot of you will wonder, who is going to believe that she is a robot? but ok, Kim Min Kyou had been alone all his life, so I really believe he was such in need of people that he could believe anything in the world.
Acting: they are amazing. Funny and sad scenes, you can feel them through the actors.
Music: I like the three or four songs. They were fine with the drama.
If you have some time to watch it, do it! it worths the time.

Cringey in A Good Way

This is your typical cheesy-cringey romantic comedy show. There are a lot of hyperbolic emotions flowing everywhere. If you don't like something like that, you may be disgusted. I watched this show in 2025, and still I found out this show is, although nothing extraordinary, written excellently. The story is about a human-allergic man who is attracted to the affection from a robot, whom turns out to be replaced by a human. Yes the story itself is already seem predictable. It's also correct that every scene in the show is pictured with excessive emotions and unrealistic events. But you follow through the story, you will find that — even the story is super unrealistic — it's neatly written.

The story strongly focused on the main leads and their own romantic developments. People and problems around them are just additional ingredients and the portion for them is quite small compared to the main leads, and I really like it. I also like how their relationship problem is based on their own struggle and never the effect of stupid external threats. The relationship problem is dragging as expected, you can even expect it from the first episode. Turns out everything is not as bad as I've expected though. This show is an example how cliche plot such as childhood relationship or serial killers are not always the solution to drive a rom-com plot. Even I find the dragging part about the company director's rivalry (yes it's a rom-com, it's gotta be dragging!) not really dragging and still bearable (I often find out old K-Drama romcoms have extremely dragging external tropes). Bold message to everyone that any technolgy may never be able to replace the presence of a person.

The characters potrayal are excellent. Chae Soo Bin plays both characters excellently. Yes, she plays two characters: Jo Ji Ah and a robot named Aji3! I can't believe she looks like a doll there. Yoo Seung Ho does a great job for playing a mentally struggled and confused man. These two actors are able to pull something great to play such an unrealistic story. And thanks to the Santa Maria Team (and the thief family), we get an excellent amount of great comedy here. Unfortunately I don't find the other characters apart from them do a good job, this includes Ji Ah's brother, Min Gyu's mansion guard as well as the foreigners.

Apart from the good story, the problem in this show might be the vibe. The first phase of the show has a very bright and joyful vibes, but after the Aji3 testing phase ended, it becomes very emotional. It isn't bad at all, but I find that the comedy quality never bounces back to the earlier state. Additionally, the pace of the show post-testing also becomes slow. Also the blue umbrella at the backseat of the car seems confusing, because who put it there at first?

I also like the soundtrack. Overall if you are looking for a joyful rom-com, this is a good choice. The story is very fluffy and lightweight and maybe a good option to end your exhausting day because Aji3 will keep telling you: You are doing good!

I'm not a robot

First of all I do not know if some things will count as a spoiler. Second it is probably first time when I will mention a lot of cast in review, so let's go:
Yoo Seung Ho - he was the reason why I chose this drama cause I really liked him in My strange hero, he has such a cute smile (that make me want to see him act with Park Bo Young), he played really good, his sad, puppy eyes, also chemistry was cute
Chae Soo Bin - it turned out I already watch something with her (Sweet&Sour), she was much more memorable here, she played really cute and adorable character, chemistry was good, even with her character's ex
Uhm Ki Joon - I did not expect that I would like his character, in the end his story and romance with Pi were one of my favourite plots
Park Se Wan - she played really fun character, I already watched her in So not worth it and as far as I liked her there, here she literally stole the show, also when she straighten her hair she reminded me of Jo Bo Ah in My strange hero and now I need her as main lead with Yoo Seung Ho
Lee Min Ji, Seo Dong Won and Go Geon Han - were so easy to like, also Go Geon Han's english was so nice
Kang Ki Young - It is always nice to see some actor in drama when you do not expect him, I am so happy that in the end he turned out as a good person, also chemistry Hwang Seung Eon was so good - she played really nice character - need them as main leads
Also nice to see Choi Dong Goo after The judge from hell - his character was a little like mischievous puppy.
If you survive praising the cast then I move on to the plot - it was something new and at the same time nothing original, but was so easy to watch, I do not even know how fast I moved through it. It is worth watching, especially when you want to watch something light.

Yes! This one had a ML and FL who were a good match and who were equals in intelligence, aptitude and personality! Granted, FL (AG-3/Ji Ah), who has an empathetic and kind nature but is spunky, had to deal with some psychological oddities of Kim Min Kyu at the beginning, and she, of course, duped him as a robot for quite a while but this was simply adorable!!!! So many laugh out loud moments! When he opened the box to see AG-3 and she jumped back and yelled—that was so funny! Couldn’t believe how I loved this and had to rewatch the last 4 episodes just because I was so happy they were together.

What an enjoyable drama. Of course, most events are unrealistic but taking it for granted, everything is fine. A fantasy drama with a lot of funny scenes, especially in the first part of the drama!

It starts off really good, the plot is great from this point of view, the only problem for me is that in the last episodes it gets a bit dragging.

The acting was really good, it's one of the few dramas where I really like the cast and the characters don't annoy me!

The music was really cute, well suited for the scenes.

I would rewatch it, especially the first episodes! Too funny!

A light and breezy drama that was too easy to binge watch. The two leads where lovable as individuals and adorable as a couple. A determined, hard working and at times spunky, female lead matched with a charming, slightly eccentric and at times pitiful, male lead.
The support cast was everything you could hope for. They were all funny in their own way and were great additions to the story.
It doesn't take too much brainpower to watch this series. It has some fluffy moments and some heart wrenching moments. It, embarrassingly, only took me a week to watch this, while I was sick. I'm Not a Robot held my attention (which can be hard to do.) and kept me entertained.
This drama is well worth the watch.

Completed the series 3 weeks ago and still there are fresh memory of some good moment from the series. It's is sometimes comedy sometimes childish but with romance also. This series has great cast with all characters well and good enough for the role. Love the main cast chemistry and also don't forget the mansion they show it's a huge and gorgeous one. It will become my dream mansion and I bet all viewers who watched it they also feel that. Love the show. Love the cast and story is good. It' s worth watching if anyone want to see this show with English subtitles please watch it on Netflix it's is available.

Funny and cute

This is not a drama that is heavy on plot - it requires a lot more suspension of disbelief than typical in a show that no matter how socially awkward a person as intelligent as Min Kyu would believe Ji Ah is actually a robot. The important thing to know, though, is that it doesn't make a bit of difference to how enjoyable a show it is. I found it to be sometimes sweet and sometimes silly, but there were also poignant moments that showed depth to the core group of characters (who were all portrayed brilliantly). The plot may be ridiculous, but it is genuinely funny most of the time. This is definitely more of a comedy than a romance, though this does not negate the sweetness of the love stories.

The parts of the plot that were meant to be suspenseful and dramatic were less successful than the comedic elements. This is perhaps due to the lack of focus on them at all; in general they seemed more disconnected from the rest of the plot and characters due to how little interaction there was between them to cause tension.

This is definitely a drama worth watching if you're in the mood for something to put a smile on your face.

She’s definitely not a robot

This drama was so good and enjoyable. I’m also not the type that likes a long length drama and so many episodes, but each episode was totally worth it. I also never knew that having your ex being a scientist that makes robots is such a toxic thing, whelp now I know what guys I should skip. Just a warning there may be spoilers.
It was nice to see a different type of storyline than the same one over and over again which is a guy being allergic to basically everything even humans except for a “robot girlfriend”. I never expected to see a robot looking exactly the same as a girl and now Ji Ah has to pretend to be a robot because her ex will then become in debt. Who would’ve known that if you dressed as a robot you will then meet your future lover. It was funny seeing how comfortable Min Kyu was because he thought it was just a robot and not a human girl. It was also nice seeing him realize that he has an exception to finally have a lover(Ji Ah’s human self) and is not allergic to basically everything. It’s also sad that he’s allergic to everything with nickel which made Min Kyu not have a good childhood and had to be alone. It was nice how Ji Ah had to act like a robot because the old robot had broke because of the water, but it was creepy how Ji Ah’s ex had made her into a robot so he could always see her. It’s nice to see Min Kyu recover from his allergies and then Ji Ah and Min Kyu becoming lovers. Although I didn’t like the ending of Min Kyu coming back from the military and then it’s over because I wanted to see there future life and it was sad because it ended so quickly.
Anyways I enjoyed this drama and really recommend this drama.
