I'm rewatching this drama in order to make this review and what a delight it is! I'm a fan of sci-fi and although this show doesn't explore its sci-fi premise to the fullest, it's interesting enough considering the romance is the actual focus of the story, and what a romance! The leads are lovely and their interactions are funny and heartwarming, their relationship is definitely the driving force of the drama.
Min Kyu is a nice and charming lead who deviates from the most commom stereotypes for K drama CEOs, however his character is a bit too naive for someone who's supposed to be a genius. Ji Ah is a very cool and nice leading lady, she has a backbone and although the drama states many times she has a low IQ, she's not dumb or idiotic. The secondary characters are nice, Pi and Ji Ah's best friend specially stood out to me, even though they weren't that developed. The second lead, however, was quite meddlesome and self-centered in many moments, besides having no chemistry with the fl, making the love triangle basically useless.
The story is nothing memorable. The subplot of the company scheming was ok. What really put me off was the second half of this drama. I honestly wish the whole robot shenanigans had lasted longer because it was the most entertaining to me. After that the drama has a very abrupt tone shift and starts to drag more and becomes way too angsty and melodramatic, it gets harder to watch as the inital rom-com aspect almost disappears. Even so, I still recommend this drama for everyone who likes romance featuring some lightly fantastic elements.
