Wild and Flirtatious Robot Boyfriend (2025)

ML pretending to be a robot but didn't act like a robot

I had been interested in this drama ever since it was released. I liked Xu Jing Shuai's acting and the concept of robots & AI. Only found a link yesterday and watched it few hours ago. This drama didn't quite meet my expectations.

What I liked:
1. Tone - It's lightweight & had some funny moments.
2. FL characterisation - She was gifted by her friend a robot as a companion. I liked that during the halfway mark, she started to question the likelihood of falling in love with a robot. It showed that she was not delusional & had a sense of reality.
2. Supporting characters - I really liked Assistant Fang who was sympathetic to both ML & FL. I also liked ML's grandma.
3. ML characterisation - I liked that he had his own story to tell because in other robot vertical dramas I watched, ML was more like a tool / accessory.
4. Dynamics - They had childhood connection that was only discovered when he became robo-companion. The master - servant relationship was mostly cute & wholesome.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - ML's mother and brother were horrible people. I also disliked FL's jealous colleagues / rivals. They were pathetic to plagiarise and then divert the attention by slandering FL.
2. Robot - Ok, ML didn't try hard to act like a typical robot. His movements were human-like that it's silly FL never question that he was a real human being..
3. Acting - It was so-so. The main actress could have done more with her performance. There was lack of chemistry between her and Xu Jiang Shuai.

Favourite scene
When FL wanted to recharge ML's batteries
