This is the first ever review that I'm writing, so bear with me. This drama, its cast, the story; everything has left such a deep impact on me. I'll be honest, just from reading the plot summary, at first, I wasn't even sure I wanted to watch it. Please, don't let the whole premise of a robot deter you from watching it. If anything, this is one of the most human dramas I've ever watched, and I think it is so because the story has been so perfectly executed by the cast.
I can't exactly explain why it's so perfect. Could it be because every reaction and emotion the characters have are so perfectly written, developed by the writer, perfectly realized, delivered by the actors and perfectly captured by the director? For lack of a better way to describe why this drama is so wonderful, this is what I can say:
1. It has made me really happy, and filled my heart with warmth. You know the feeling, it's like being surrounded by puppies or the feeling you have waking up to the love of your life; it will make you believe in love again. It will make you cast all your cynicism aside.
2. The acting (Sorry to repeat myself, but the actors are just amazing) There are scenes in this where you can clearly see the pain and love in YSH's eyes. I felt humbled by the emotions the MC was going through, as executed so perfectly by YSH. I felt his doubt, his fears, his pain, his relief, his joy and his love.
3. Simplicity of the plot, without cliches. Sure, the story doesn't include a proper evil villain, or fall under the action or melodrama genres, but the pace is great and at no point did I feel bored or tempted to skip any parts. I despise cliches, especially in the romance part so I really liked that the story plays out in a way that only helps develop the relationship between the two MCs more, without any useless obstacles to prolong the series. Although I disliked the power struggle for the company (as is to be expected in any Kdrama) it did not overshadow the story as a whole.
4. The friendship the MC built with the other characters was really beautiful. I find this part lacking in many dramas. Because of how the MC has been lonely his entire life, it felt very warm and sweet to see him slowly open up to others. In certain scenes, the way the side characters care and fought for the MC will melt even the coldest of hearts.
I definitely highly recommend this drama. It is now one of my top Kdramas that I will definitely rewatch when I need a little pick me up, or something to snap me out of one of my dark, brooding moods. I'm someone who usually hates rewatching anything, so this definitely speaks volumes. If you've just broken up, or you're in doubt about whether love exists, watch this, because sometimes we all need a reminder that love doesn't require anything showy or dramatic. This will remind you that love can be pure, meaningful and deeply felt.
