My Holo Love (2020)

Loved it!!!

The beginning of the final episode made me cry for the ML's mom 😭 she looked so happy that her son wanted to interact with her, I guess this wasn't a usual occurrence, and that old bastard just had to ruin it by killing her the next day!!!

And that ending 🥺 it was so perfect. I cried too when they were saying goodbye to Holo, so I'm glad they at least finish the drama with a hopeful future for him. Hopefully they'll keep him a close family secret and NOT try to make him go commercial again. Or find some other safe way to slowly let the world know about him faaaaarrrr into the future.

It wasn't a perfect drama. There were parts I literally couldn't watch because of second hand embarrassment, so I skipped, but I don't regret getting to the end. There were also parts where logic failed, but I don't care. As long as issues aren't glaring, I'm willing to set aside logic for a good story. If the ending is amazing, I would forgive even a lackluster drama. I expected a good romance and got so much more, the actual romance needed some work, but the bromance between Holo and the ML was everything, especially as he began to evolve. The FL was annoying at times, but she was cool the last couple episodes, so all is forgiven.

I loved it. Maybe not all of it, but I definitely loved the entire final episode (and all of Holo). I wish this was the usual 16+ hour drama because I think the pacing in the beginning suffered from making the drama (and episodes) a bit short, but also because I'd just like to see more of Holo 😊.

Although it only have 12 episodes, I didn't feel like they were rush it. The series contained all the right ingredients for the ideal show and it got me hooked up from the first episode, it has no too many bureaucracy and not too many lovey-dovey scenes just the prefect amount. I watched 'Are you human' about an AI falling in love with a human, but it didn't feel right, I didn't like that show, but here it felt real, maybe because the bottom line was that an AI can never be a replacement for human contact.
The chemistry between the two main actors felt real and the male lead felt like an actual human being (unlike other series, where I felt that the male lead is over the top). Netflix Kdrama are so different from the regular Kdrama and its a good change, I hope they will have more series like that.

All of the episodes of this drama were supposedly released on Netflix the same day, despite that the script feels like it was written during live filming, the story is not entirely coherent & there are some character adjustments. Naturally it is for the best if one does not try to think at depth about the fake science present in this drama.

Outside of the above it's a cute little drama that doesn't have major annoyances. It's solid, fairly chill entertainment. The reason why it's only a 7 is that there is nothing outstanding either, nothing really stands out. It's just a standard kdrama with a scifi spin. (The love triangle is resolved in a fairly acceptable way and it never devolved to the swords and daggers drawn type. )

Ending is bittersweet

The drama is so annoying with the FL for me, I felt she was very selfish. She was in love with three men at the same time!!!! What kind of nonsense lonely human being is she? I am not jealous or anything, I just didn't find her emotions very realistic. I prefer the realtionship of Holo and it's owner. I was very sad for Holo and his departure, I seriously cried so much for atleast an hour. It touched my heart, I have never cried at a drama before, I miss Holo, I think I fell in love with his character just like the FL. The ML acted very nicely, so good, that I want a Holo for myself and I hope he remains a great memory for me as well.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx T-T HOLO SARANGHAEEEEEEE <3 Forever xxxxxxxx

unique tropes and dialogue

this is one of the most unique kdrama i’ve watched. honestly, i have never seen other kdramas that were similar to this one.

let’s go in depth about the characters. the FL is way too clingy and annoying, which is why i dislike her. when the ML was pretending to be HOLO and the FL found out, was it that big of a deal that she got mad? another thing i hate, is that the FL acts like she made HOLO. true, she owned HOLO for quite some time, but that was only because of an inconvenience. when the ACTUAL owner wanted HOLO back, she refused to give it. i don’t know why, but i got pissed because of that. now, let’s talk about the ML. the ML is very likable. that’s all i have to say. his acting is really good, and i love how he portrayed the character go nan-do in this series.

what i like about this show is that there isn’t really a “love triangle.” HOLO and the ML are literally the same people, except for the fact that HOLO is an AI and acts more professional. HOLO felt uncomfortable while going on “dates” with the FL because he’s loyal to his actual owner, aka best friend (ML). it’s sad how something that’s not even a human being has more common sense than one.

overall, i could rewatch this show many times and still wouldn’t get bored. i definitely recommend watching this!

A gem for sci-fi romantic comedy kdrama lovers

I watched this unique drama when it first came out and I did not have any expectations for it. But wow this one is definitely a hidden gem. If you like sci-fi/romantic comedy kdramas then you NEED to watch this one. First of all I loved the storyline, I swooned over Nan Do, I think Yoon Hyun Min is a wonderful actor and his duality between the two different characters was very well done. I loved Nan Do and So Yeon's chemistry and their growth as individual characters, I loved their differences as characters. This drama made me laugh, cry, and feel warmth. Definitely a gem on netflix in their kdrama category!

I almost didn't watch this as it sound so cheesy to me!

I ended up loving this and it's definitely in a top spot for me, and I will probably rewatch this multiple times.
I loved all the characters and the acting was well done.

I felt this had a very fast paced story line (maybe because it was only 12 episodes it was forced) but I loved the pace, one of my biggest complaints with Dramas is they tend to sometimes drag/get drawn out too much, but this did not have that problem.

On top of all that I absolutely loved the music and ended up having to find the soundtrack to listen to in my free time.

Overall a fun, fast paced show, that I think is very rewatchable! :)

A really good short 12-episode drama. Both leads have a traumatic backstory that is relevant to the plot. So-yeon and Nan-do are so cute together. They have great chemistry and created sweet and funny moments. It's so sweet how he looks at her and comforts her. So-yeon thinks she is not worthy of loving or being loved because of her condition. Nando tells her... "You hate your flaws but those things are what I find special about you. The fact that we are imperfect is what let us meet in the first place." Awwwww!
So-yeon falling in love with holo is believable. Holo is so dependable! I didn't like that manager that she had a crush on, he was too short for her... lol
I love Nan-do and Holo's relationship! They interact just like real friends. It's fun to watch, like he is arguing with himself. Even Nan-do loves Holo, he sacrificed himself so that Holo can live and be with So-yeon. I love that in the end, Holo did not betray Nan-do. Holo was truly designed to be Nan-do's friend.
The love tri-angle was awkward. I didn't believe Holo can love, but we all can love Holo. I have to say, I liked this so much better than the drama I’m Not a Robot. There are only 12 episodes, no dragging and no replays or flashbacks. The story flowed very well. It was so sad to see little Nan-do crying waiting for his mom. The romance was such a slow burn... the leads always gave me the doki doki feels when they're together!
I watched this 3x already. I love the OST Love again, it's so soothing!

I want more! I want holo!

At first I was just, Wow, something new and intriguing. Then I was like, Woah, I love Holo! And then it ended, I want more. Netflix? Please?

Not a perfect drama. I was kind of tired with dramas where the lead have face blindness or someone with PTSD. Like? Again? But I still tried because the plot piques my curiosity.

3 things t to love:
1. Holo! Would have been nice if Holo is real. But yeah, there are a lot of issues which was also tackled in the drama. And still not so ideal. But with growing technologies and with advancement in Korea maybe this will be the future.
2. Plot, witty writer. They made it so realistic that you wouldn't question some scenes that doesn't makes sense. Got to used some of my brain cells. Haha
3. Nando! I fell in love with Yoon Hyun Min. Well, who wouldn't?

There are some Kdrama cliches like the FL and ML knew each other when they were children. Like, yeah. As always. I'm also quite confused how, why and when did the ML fell in love with the FL as it is quite unclear and kind of rush. Maybe they should have created/ added a more realistic scene to explain how and when but, okay, since the Chemistry is there I'll just let it slip.

Anyway, I don't know why it's not as popular as other dramas but this one is still better compared to other overrated dramas in 2020.

I know it is a mini series and they planned it to have 12 episodes only but I feel like I need more of it.

I'm going to give this drama series a 9 because of the scientific nature of the screenwriter's story. I love the concept of a Hologram in the storyline. Very Well Done! This storyline kind of reminds me of the holographic image of Michael Jackson performing on stage during the 2014 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 18, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Two companies fought viciously over the rights to the hologram, although it didn't quite end all the legal madness over the technology capable of reviving dead stars and allowing living ones to be in multiple places at any given moment.

But I'm getting drained in watching these dramas when the screenwriter makes the female character so unbearably self-unsure about herself to become so demeaning and rude in half of the episodes. I just want to put my hand through my screen to grab the female character and just shake her... screaming cut the crap out! uggh... I guess for me that would make the female main lead very believable and so she did a great job of being a demeaning and rude female. That's all I have to say about this drama.
