Easy to watch but I was bored
Acting was good, story didn't really speak to me. Plot was interesting at first, but got kinda boring at some point so I skipped a lot. When I like a drama I'm usually very emotionally invested in it and that's how I know it's really good. There honestly isn't much to say, ost was good. Romance scenes didn't make my heart flutter as much as they usually do, so maybe there wasn't enough connection with the actors or the romance scenes just weren't that well written.Many said this to be easy to watch and that it sure was, episodes weren't too long but like I said earlier I was bored when watching.

CAST: Yoo Seung Ho?! I will watch anything that has Yoo Seung Ho in it!!! I also love Chae So Bin in this drama I must say they have a great chemistry that makes the drama more enjoyable to watch
MUSIC: I also loved the OST in this series especially "Know Me", "Words of your heart" and "I love you with all my heart"
REWATCH VALUE: TBH, I would probably watch this if I wanted to get those light-hearted fluffly feelings after watching a very heavy drama.

This drama was SO GOOD! It's funny it's cute and made my heart feel so much emotion! I honestly wish that Kdrama would reduce the conflict scenes (the office talk if you know what I mean) and focus more on the growth of the two main characters instead? So there would be more romance OH MY THAT DEFINITELY WOULD BE SO AWESOME! MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILER AFTER THIS!
By the way, I think Min Kyu's disease was a little weird. So when the first time Ji-Ah touched him, his illness recurred but then when he touched her and thought that she was a robot nothing happened?! Even though at that time he hadn't has any feelings for her yet, and the fact that the filmmaker decided to cure his illness by "having someone special/connecting whatever" I was like WTH?!?!! I think it would be better if they just made Ji-Ah special from the beginning and that's why his illness didn't recur when he touched her instead of him having some connections with her (is that make sense?)
Nevertheless, highly recommended cause IT'S SO CUTE!

Storywise, there was no complicated drama nor intricate conflict. I can say that the story was extremely predictable, if not questionable. The differentiating factor of this drama was on the actors. The way they portray the characters was natural. It seems as if they were born as the characters. That’s how real their acting was. The chemistry was real. Their bond makes amend for some missing parts nearing the end of the series. The jokes and witty dialogues between the characters also make this drama a solid piece worthy of scoring high in rating. The characters were played by some renowned faces in the industry.At first, the sole reason for me watching this drama was Yoo Seung Ho. However, once I started watching I couldn’t stop. I even found myself weeping from watching the scenes. Both Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin have successfully breathed life into Kim Min Kyu and Joo Ji Ah, respectively.
The supporting roles really support the drama. Santa Maria team is the main source for humor and fun. At some parts of the drama they might appear as genius, but it doesn’t mean that they can’t make jokes. Their jokes can be sometimes be the lamest jokes you’ve heard. In addition, I love how natural they interact with each other and convince me that they have been together for some time.
This drama will be suitable for those enjoying light entertainment with straightforward and witty dialogues. Watching this will not strain your brain, which is perfect to pick up when you are having packed schedule but still craving for all rounded entertainment.
The dissatisfaction from me was the “empty” feeling at the last few episodes when all problems had been resolved and explanations had been given. It is rather hard for me to put it in words. I just feel that the drama lost its touch in the last moments. Their witty dialogues and the characters silly fight are absent. In addition to that, there was unsolved mystery. Who is Madam X? She is the one and only informant Kim Min-kyu trusts. I thought the answer would be given at the last episodes, but I watched until the end and I didn’t find the answer for that particular mystery. Besides the identity of Madam X which remains a mystery, I also feel like the last two episodes were rushed. Every answers were packed into an hour time frame. It sure has happy ending, but the progress towards that happy ending was too fast till the biggest mystery remains.
Despite all the emptiness I felt at the last few episodes, I found myself missing the characters so much once I had finished watching. It feels like I was left alone after attending a loud party. That is how heartwarming this drama was. The characters felt so close. The acting made the characters alive and lovable. This drama is still high on my list of favourite romantic comedy Korean drama.

This one caught me off guard; I started watching it as a fan of the main actor but having little expectations because the previews were lackluster.I was ready to cringe all throughout the show but I was so wrong, and it continued to prove me wrong episode after episode (except the last two).
When watching this show the initial perception was that it is such a weird concept (which it is) but it hides so many layers of social commentary and HEART. I rarely cry on romantic stories but this hit me so much that I ended up sobbing even without the subtititles. I appreciate the humor too (and all those times it made me laugh out loud in public), but that is not what the show is all about. The longer you watch, the deeper it gets and the more it breaks and completes you.
I'd like to think that I came out a better person after this, if not at least a little happier.

The story is very simple to follow and you get sucked into this drama right from the first episode.
Sometimes I had the feeling that the feelings of the characters change a bit too fast, but that was the only thing that I was slightly confused about.
A nice fact was that the episodes weren't too long, like 30mins each, which made the drama quite "short" without an unnecessary looong middle part.
The characters were all very well portraied. Everyone had their own kind of weird thing going on and it made each and everyone of them likeable. The main cast was amazing and very adorable, I loved how their relationship developed and it will surely make you cry...it made me cry :'(
I also loved the research team which built the robot, because they gave a the male lead a family feeling and it was so nice to see how they became friends.
The music didn't stand out for me that much but it was very good for the drama as there is nothing negative to say about it.
I would rewatch this drama any time because it's such an easy drama too watch as I mentioned before.
Overall 9,5/10.
I would recommend this drama for everyone who wants to start watching dramas :)

admiration for ML :Yoo seung Ho
I have watched many KDramas and have always bee amazed by the ability of the male actors to cry so easily. The scene where Yoo Seung Ho cries before he reboots the "robot" had me in tears. It was so real- I don't know how the FL was able to complete the scene without breaking down herself. As an older woman, the scene brought back memories of how it feels to be loved that much - especially, during a farewell.This actor brings such credibility to the screen. I hope to watch more of his works. He is a gem!! Thanks to the entire production team and all of the actors.

Loved
First review here. The love story here is extraordinary. People keep referring to it as fluffy and cute. I think it is more very sweet at the beginning. I liked the ending too. Tied everything up nicely. The middle, I suppose, is fluffy -- if your definition of fluffy means tear your heart out of your chest, slam it against the wall, put it through a meat grinder and throw the pieces on the street for the wild dogs to eat. I had to fast forward to the ending to reassure myself that it would get less painful as I sobbed into my pillow. But man, it strung me along for a while.The ML's conveying of a huge range of emotions is extraordinary. The actor is brilliant in this role. The FL plays a robot throughout a lot of the show, so has to remain emotionless. Her human versus robot emotions are beautifully done.
The rest of the cast did a great job. I'm not usually a fan of the silly comic relief characters, but they were cute and funny and I didn't want to fast forward through them like i do in other dramas.
Highly recommend it. Haven't seen any of the ML and FL's other works, but hope they both got roles worthy of their acting after this.

Love that has no boundaries
woah, what a drama this was…currently rewatched it…! I still remember, this drama was one of my initial dramas, when I had just started watching Kdramas.
It brings back a lot of memories…
if you are looking for something heart wrenching to watch, this drama is exactly for you. the leads have done a great job, and Yoo Seung Ho is such an eye candy to watch.
The plot is overall good, it has drama, love and is Swoonworthy. if you are wanting to watch something chill, then this drama is for you, I can assure you that it will make you laugh

The show is a strange case of poor local ratings and excellent online reception.I guess Koreans are just not that into robots -The idea is more Japanese anyway-and this could be the primary reason it flopped hard
The story ,romance ,comedy are first rate..Chae Soo Bin makes an adorable human and a robot as well..
Jo seung Ho- my first time seeing him-was superb as well..
If you like cute,light and beautifully made shows ,go for it without a second thought..
