A fresh unique addictive storyline, with kang joon's brilliance

AI can be a controversial topic to say the least, specially when it comes to a proper human type robot. They tried to show the reasonable outcomes of having AI, but I think they went a bit far with this futuristic stuff. I mean the farthest we went with a full fledge robot in 2019 was that idiot Sophia. Then developing such an amazing invention, in like 1999 is really really mind boggling. Its quite far away from reality hence, I did not take the drama serious from the very beginning.

However, as the drama proceeded, we got some interesting twist and turns. The characters did fair enough jobs; a special mention to the legend Seo Kang Joon himself, who did an astonishing task potraying both the characters. I genuinely hated his other villainous character and adored the heroic one.

Now lets talk about specific merits and demerits.

The decent aspects:
+ A new type of story, it did make me laugh at times and the couple looked pretty together.
+ Acting was done well by most of the characters, the grandfather also did a good job with his hated personality.
+ Not gonna lie, the drama itself was quite addictive. I could not stop myself from watching the next episode.
+ Although, it was a bit stretched, the story did not felt heavy and burdensome to watch.


!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
+ I loved the fact that they implied how corrupt a system could be. Honestly, even in Austria the CEO knew what the mother was doing and her exact plans. And how he gave money to her for his own benefit. His technique for fooling people with dementia thing was also brilliant.
!!!!!!SPOILER ENDS!!!!!!


The wrong aspects:
- First of all, if the female lead was taken advantage of. I mean, she was shown all powerful and stuff (for empowerment), but she literally acted like a scaredy cat at times.
- The bad Nam-Shin reflected being extremely mean and rude without any reason. Although, I do understand what the the poor boy went through, doing that won't help either.
- Their were some truly questionable decisions made by the mother. Quite literally that button had no use whatsoever. Regardless I get it, it was her greed and love for her son.
- Something which did offend me as a Computer Science student was the fact that the Robot made some veryyyyyyyyyyy Human decisions. Say with me COMPUTERS.DON'T.HAVE.PRACTICAL.THINKING.CAPABILITIES.

!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
- The thing I hated the most was this human-robot 'romantic' relationship. And man where the hell did he get the tears from at the end??? XD I know relationship ain't all about sex, and maybe they can even have sex just not the children O-O and it doesn't matter to me. But what matters is authentic feelings. Whatever intelligence you give robots CAN'T truly love someone. But okay if she can live with, what can I say.
!!!!!!SPOILER ENDS!!!!!!


!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
Now for a quick tip. It's just my opinion so please don't take it personally or something:
I would have LOVED if the bad Nam-shin felt guilty and hence try to befriend the female lead. Instead of restoring the robot (which idk how they did, he legit had died) he tries to comfort the woman.
They could have added 3-4 more episodes making it a total of 40. In that, they could possibly add this miserably bad Nam-shin and the female lead sharing their traumas with each other and helping each other out. The poor boy also deserves happiness ya know?
And they could probably then have an ending together.
Or if you ask me maybe like both of them walking on the beach together laughing, as the scene ends. Now it is on you whether you think them as friends or as lovers ;-)
(yeah I like these endings and everyone judges me for it)
!!!!!!SPOILER ENDS!!!!!!

If you want to watch a lighthearted attention-grabbing drama, it is recommended. However if you want a tough, emotional and relatable storyline then maybe not.
But who knows this drama can genuinely pleasantly surprise you.

Sorry for this long rant, go on your kdrama journey. Fighting!

If you are watching it for eunwoo, boy you in wrong place

A new approach with all that app thing, but everything else was just extremely weak. No character development, not a good ost to pair up with, really short episodes, and most importantly EUNWOO WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF just for fame. He had no role otherwise. We didn't get a proper ending. Seems like the writers just didn't know how to end it.

I liked the concept of how they normalized the nature's call XD and that's what made me watch the drama too. It's just a light watch, if you don't want to connect with any character and watch a show just because you are bored, then I might suggest this.

Otherwise it's a no.
