I'm Not a Robot

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.

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.

This is a very cute and adorable show!
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 :)

I FINALLY gave this drama a chance after many many MANY people recommended it to me and raved about it. And I'm dropping it after 10 episodes. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, I just don't really care about the characters, which I know, sounds really heartless. I see where each character is coming from and sympathize with each, but I'm not intrigued enough to continue watching. Maybe it's just that I don't really care for the robot theme? I don't find their romance particularly cute or heart-wrenching and it doesn't make me giddy. I just feel kinda bleh about it and more interesting things caught my attention so I'm moving on from this. The drama *is* humorous, but I don't get what all the hype is about.

the significance of human connection

This was on my list for a long time, but I just couldn't get past the premise. A guy who's allergic to people falls in love with a robot? It sounded so incredibly stupid,and yet I still ended up watching after much hesitation. The plot however really shows the creativity of kdramas. The plot could literally be anything, no matter how weird or insane it sounds and the kdrama could somehow make it work. The power of imagination I tell ya.

The plot is not only unique but it's surprising in the sense that the drama ended up better than I expected it to be. The robot storyline was so well done despite it's ridiculousness.

Yoo Seungho did great as the ML. He did a great job of capturing the pain and loneliness that his character had. The drama did a good job on his childhood flashbacks. It was a great way to see how he ended up the way he did and how his illness affected his life for the worse. I don't remember which one exactly but that one crying scene with him really made me emotional.
Chae Soo Bin was pretty good as well. I liked her much more as Ji Ah but she was decent at playing a robot. Of course there were times where her cover should've been blown but if u just go with it you'll be fine. Maybe a part of Mingyu wanted to believe that Aji was real because he was that desperate to feel the love and connection he had never really felt. My favorite scene with her was when she clogged the toilet LMAO.
At the heart, I feel this show is about the need and power of human connection. Having a genuine connection is one of the most special things you can encounter in life. It's what humans were made to do. Connect with one another. I like that this show explores the meaning of having someone be there for you and understand you. Whether you're in someone's life for a short while or a long time, you never know what you can mean to that person.

I loved it! Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin are my first-time viewing these two. YSH played an absolutely hard role in having illness and was great at it... Human Allergies... who doesn't have that? Too funny! I did my research on this actor and his vocals are on point! Hope to see more of him. Chao Soo Bin also played two hard roles and she knocked them out of the park with excellence. This was a great and cute story, the story flowed perfectly. The cast makes it run smoothly for the writer. There were no fights or revenge with the female parts about one man... which is always good for me to see... "no Fighting" lol. I wished I would've seen the robot they ended up with. I love robotics!

This was a really solid romance drama! Of course, going into this I didn't except a deep story or plot; I simply wanted a fun and cute drama, which is EXACTLY what this is.
The premise, while interesting, is super unrealistic and not incredibly complex or deep. However, the writers keep it interesting enough for 32 half-hour episodes.
As for the cast and acting, I couldn't have asked for a better cast. Not only were the leads Chae Soobin and Yoo Seungho incredibly warm and lovely at their own individual roles, but their chemistry together was amazing. The other characters were also very fun and likable.
The music, like the drama itself, is very catchy and cute, but nothing amazing.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a light and very romantic drama! Also I absolutely LOVE the cast!
