I'm Human from Today (2026)

Very bad plot and unmatched acting skills

I really wanted to love this, especially as a fan of Kim Hye-yoon’s incredible work in Lovely Runner.

However, the characterization and plot development here fell short.

While Kim Hye-yoon is a powerhouse, her 'Gen Z gumiho' was written with an annoying edge that her naturally dramatic acting style only amplified, making the character hard to root for.

This was made worse by the total lack of balance with Lomon. He was far too passive; compared to her high energy, he felt devoid of personality and emotional range. Most importantly, he lacked that signature K-drama 'ML gaze'—his eyes never truly sold the idea that he was in love with her.

The two felt like completely different colors that just didn't mix. WIth a strong ML 's acting, the story might be worth watching.

No chemistry, no stakes. She's powerful yet she needs saving from a man. Embarassing

Wondering how you can take an interesting concept and give it the blandest execution? Look no further.

They do nothing with the gumiho tale that is embodied in two characters.

The series is a string of side-quests that vaguely bring the protagonists closer together. I say vaguely because we don't learn anything about them. Their previous life has no bearing in how they're dealing with their situation currently. They feel like empty vessels in aesthetically pleasing (according to korean beauty standards) faces. They should be passionate, hold grudges, carry the wisdom of a lucrative career (Si Yeol) and hundreds of years on earth (Eun Ho). Instead they move as though they're born yesterday and are forced to interact.

Both these actors have given decent performances before (Kim Hye Yoon in Ectraordinary You and Lovely Runner and Lomon in Branding in Seongsu) so it's not their fault. It's the writer's responsibility to construct a story that makes sense and that makes us root for them.

I feel bad leaving such a low rating, because compared to other series that are actively harmful in their messaging, this one was just meh. But it had promise and everything going for it, so the fact that it didn't deliver is a true letdown.

P.S. If you're gonna have a superhuman FL, don't ruin it by making her need saving. that's a slap in the face to the audience. learn to write meaningfully.
