This review may contain spoilers
I seriously don’t know what the writers were smoking while making this.
The concept sounded interesting at first. An AI companion company where you can create a hologram of anyone — your dead mom, dad, sibling, even a celeb. That’s actually a heavy concept. Grief, loneliness, ethics, emotional dependency… there’s SO much they could’ve explored.
Instead we get nonsense.
First, the ML. A “retired” novelist in his late 20s. Retired?? Bro when did he even start? Graduate at 18, become a bestseller at 21, retire at 27? In what world are writers retiring young and rich? Most writers are underpaid and struggling. The show just throws this detail in like it makes sense.
Then the FL. She’s the CEO of a high-tech AI hologram company… but acts like a toddler half the time. Panic attacks every other ep, bad decisions, zero leadership vibe. I’m not saying CEOs can’t have trauma, but competence has to be there too. Here it just isn’t.
And the company itself??? We’re told it’s this massive revolutionary tech firm. The building is like 20 floors tall. But inside the actual office? Looks like a 3-4 room apartment with 5 employees. That’s it. For a company building advanced emotional AI holograms?? Where’s the dev team? Security? Legal? PR? Anyone?
And why is the CEO video-calling her own team while sitting in the SAME office? Just walk 5 steps 😭 what are we doing.
The biggest joke was the server crash. Version 1 AI companions — which people emotionally bonded with — just reset. Memory gone. If someone bought an AI version of their dead mother and suddenly it forgot everything, that would be devastating. Lawsuits. Media outrage. Company collapse.
But here? Nobody cares. No consequences. Everyone’s just excited for Version 2 like nothing happened. Why would customers trust you again after that??
Also security is basically nonexistent. Anyone can enter server rooms. For a company handling emotional data and hologram tech? Come on.
The idea had potential. It really did. AI replacing lost loved ones is a powerful theme. But the execution feels lazy, unrealistic, and honestly kind of dumb at times.
Fantasy is fine. But even fantasy needs basic logic.
This drama just doesn’t have it.
