No Soy un Robot (2017)

Quirky & Adorable

I started this drama back during its original airtime and stopped at Episode 12. I honestly have no clue why, by that episode things are interesting and you want to continue. Unfortunately for me, revisiting it in 2022 left me with zero clue what happened prior to E12 and had to start over.

Story-wise, it is a slow moving drama. I learned that when I got to E16 (what I thought was the last episode), and couldn't understand why there had been ZERO character development. I would say the first 5-6 episodes are a bit painful to get through. yes, you're getting back story and a bit of a feel of how the relationships develop, but it's BORING. When things do finally pick up, you've either already formed your opinion of the drama or you're just meh about the characters because it's taken this long to develop.

The main love triangle is a complete dud and cringey, and just awkward. The support character love triangle is way better to invest in. I loved it.

The acting is ok. Being a romantic style comedy, everything is naturally over dramatic and exaggerated, but if it was without it, I think it would have been a complete dud. The ML & FL do a convincing job in wanting to make you sob with them. Toward the end, I definitely got a bit choked up during parts.

The music is not memorable at all. Aside from the ending theme song, I cannot tell you much about the OST. it didn't stand out.

Re-watch value is non-existent for me.

Overall, I'm glad I went back to finish this drama. It was adorable, the story wasn't uncomfortably cringe, and the characters actually show growth vs the whole "I can't be with you because several unbelievable reasons before we finally get together." For a one and done watch, it's great if you can tough through the first several episodes of fluff.

Kendimizden birşeyler bulabileceğimiz bir anime.

Ana karakterin başlangıçtan sona doğru gelişimini ve karakterler arasındaki ilişkileri gözlemlemek etkileyici ve düşündürücü. Bir bakıma, hayatımıza bağlı olarak hepimiz, az veya çok ana karakterin yaşadığı zorlukları yaşayıp hissettiklerini hissetmişizdir.

Hikaye gerçekten güzel, lakin 32 bölüm olarak değil de 25 bölüm olarak dolu dolu çekilebilirmiş. Ama bu şekliyle de vaktiniz bol ise zevk alarak izleyebilirsiniz. Bölüm fazlalığı sebebiyle de hikayenin sonunu çoğu dizi gibi sizin tahmin etmenize gerek kalmadan açık açık çekmiş ve bir bölümü karakterlerin problemlerden kurtulduktan sonraki hayatlarına dair çekmişler. Ki bu çok hoşuma gitti. Birçok dizide bu eksik. Normalde kavuşurlar ve dizi biter. Bu dizide sonrasına dair de bir gösterim yapıp bir bölümü buna ayırmaları, psikolojik olarak bağlandığınız karakterlerin sonrasını da görmek gerçekten güzel olmuş.

İzlemenizi tavsiye ederim, pişman olmazsınız.

How to begin? "I Am Not a Robot" tops my list of all-time favorite dramas. Ever. Why?
I, for one, enormously enjoyed this drama. I love romantic comedies, so when I saw this was a rom-com starring Yoo Seung Ho, I had to give it a go. The drama was equal parts lovable, fluffy, silly, hilarious, and touching. The premise seemed slightly ridiculous at first, what with a guy who's allergic to humans and a girl who pretends to be a robot, yet also very intriguing. I was curious to find out what exactly put them in that kind of situation, and why the main male lead, Kim Min Kyu, didn't have an allergic reaction to the female lead, Jo Ji Ah, who pretended to be Aji-3. After that, I kept finding more reasons to continue watching. Jo Ji Ah, portrayed by the endearing Chae Soo Bin, is introduced as a strong-willed, determined woman who's trying to make the most of her life by doing what she loves to do: inventing. She possesses an emotional and mental strength that I really admire, and she continues to shine in later episodes when she interacts with Kim Min Kyu. Her deep and intuitive understanding of Min Kyu's feelings and struggles as she gets to know him really drew me further into the show. Min Kyu, in turn, unwittingly supports Ji Ah's ambition and drive to be an inventor who creates things that are needed by people. *START OF MINOR SPOILER* Their symbiotic and emotionally healthy relationship fosters character growth, with Min Kyu learning how to interact properly with others and get along with people, thus allowing him to eventually befriend the Santa Maria team and find his new family, not related by blood, but just as close. *END OF MINOR SPOILER*
I love, love, LOVE that the way they help each other is so innocuous and yet pivotal and crucial in their respective lives. Ji Ah needed that extra push and encouragement when she was feeling down to achieve her dream of being an inventor, while Min Kyu needed the emotional support and scaffolding that she provided to start his own growth and bring his kindness out of his inner shell, allowing him to overcome his loneliness and lack of human connection. The overarching theme of human connection in this drama makes it extremely powerful and compelling to watch. What everyone needs, but often forgets, is that emotional connection to other people, since it allows them to express themselves, to not feel alone, and to find purpose in life. "I Am Not a Robot" takes a unique approach to this topic by exploring this theme through a remarkably human-like robot (android), who then is mainly substituted with an actual human. The stark contrast of this portrayal of human and robot, namely how the human Ji Ah expresses emotions and understands Min Kyu while the robot Aji-3 can only understand emotions on a conceptual level and imitate humans, emphasizes the fact that being able to feel emotion is at the core of what makes us human. This topic gets kind of philosophical as Min Kyu is conflicted over whether or not a robot can actually feel things, and he discusses this with Pi and Hong Baek Gyun, who take things pretty much at face value and argue that Aji-3 can only mimic emotions through learning from humans.
Getting a little off topic. Anyways, besides all of these deep and meaningful themes addressed by this drama, Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin, as well as the rest of the main cast, do a stellar job of portraying their characters. Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin possess some incredible and intense, yet still innocent, chemistry on-screen, which truly makes this drama worth watching. They are fully relaxed around each other and feel at home around one another, and they just bring the best out in each other. Their interactions in behind-the-scenes clips make you fall in love with the drama and their characters even more, as they are super comfortable with each other and just plain cute together.
I also love the character growth the writers included for the second male lead, Hong Baek Gyun (played by the hilarious Uhm Ki Joon), as he started out super oblivious and naive, in a sense, but really reflected on his past mistakes and learned from them, working hard to fix those flaws after he realized he had them. The rest of the Santa Maria team is also just lovable and all-around adorably sweet. Their interactions with each other and close bond that later extends to include Min Kyu and Ji Ah are super charming, and they provide for a lot of comic relief and fun times. They are also incredibly genuine in their feelings, which is something that Min Kyu really needs and comes to love. Ji Ah's best friend is also an awesome friend; she's supportive, truly wants what's best for her friend, and just a cool person to talk to and help her through things. Her niece is a real scene-stealer, since she's adorable, but also quite clever in her own right. Her scene with Min Kyu is one of my favorites.
I truly recommend this drama if you want something light-hearted, yet really meaningful.

I‘m not a robot was one of the dramas I have a love-hate relationship with. The Story was...and the Cast was amazing. But it was Yoo Seunghos first romantic Comedy, so I was happy^^.

Story: I like robots and I want a robot that does my homework, too. But sometimes the drama was too comedic for me. I am not a big fan of comedy dramas. I like romantic comedys but they must not be too exaggerate. And sometimes it was too much. The Drama follows a young rich Man who has an allergy which doesn‘t allows him to touch people. Although he seems to be very cold because of his illness, he has a warm heart who could break anytime.

Acting: The Acting was the best thing in this drama. I wouldn‘t have give it a 8,5/10 when it wasn‘t for the Actors. I am a big Fan of Yoo Seungho since I watched him in Warrior Baek Dongsoo, a few Years ago and he didn‘t disappoint me again. YSH is one of the best and talented young Actors and he is very experienced because of his child acting career. But he didn‘t acted in a rom-com before, so I was sceptical if he could so such a drama.
Chae Soobin is a talented young Actress who isn‘t as long as YSH in the business. But she is very good and her Acting as a robot (and a fake robot) was very nice to watch. Her Character was well written and her Acting was very strong even though she is young.
It was my second drama with Uhm Kijoon and compared to Defendant I didn‘t liked him in this one. But I think it was his role, because his character was the weakest out of the three Main Characters.
The Chemistry between YSH and CSB was very good abd I was a little sad because of the weak rating in South Korea. But after I thought a little bit about it, I think the rating should not be the most important reason to watch a drama.

Music: The Soundtrack was okay, some Songs are nice to listen to, but the Songs aren‘t in my Playlist.

I don‘t know if I will watch this again, maybe because of the Acting...

Watch this if you need a heart massage

This show is a warm embrace. Watching this is like entering a snug sleeping bag. It's just so cozy, and aside from a brief rough patch, the central relationship is so wholesome. Male lead gets some genuinely great character development. It's quite consistent in its quality too.

I like how important the side characters were, and remained. They don't get unceremoniously sidelined in favor of the leads like so many other shows. They stayed very relevant throughout.

I'm a bit baffled seeing that this kdrama was such a massive commercial failure back when it came out. We're talking disastrous ratings here—last in its time slot, not even ranked on Nielsen ratings so low it was—which is strange because on the technical side it's a lot more interesting than most of them. The CGI was surprisingly good too for network TV. I think it has to do with the way it was released. It's a great binge watch but I'm not convinced it's structured in a way that could sustain the attention of people watching on a weekly basis because nothing much happens. It's good fluff, but just fluff ultimately.

This is the drama where i first stumbled at Yoo seung ho, then after remember, until i became so addicted that I've literally watched all his series.
though my favorite among his series is Beak dong soo ,this one is cute and it makes you feel in love again.
I must admit the concept is nothing new..but who the hell cares nit's in the acting!
the part when i cried the most is when he finally admits his feelings towards AJI 3.
and the OSTs.. there's this LSS.
Overall , It's a cute story especially those who wants to fall in love again.. i hope there would be more series of Yoo seung ho and cha soo bin soon.

Unbelievable but super adorable

Objectively, this is pretty much the perfect rom-com formula. It had a lot of hilarious scenes, the chemistry and acting of the two leads was amazing, an I also liked that the business and antagonist plotlines weren't taken too seriously — there was a lot of comic relief in their scenes and the entire tone of the story was really consistent. This drama was like the perfect mix of every possible good coincidence and trope you could think of, but it was smart enough to call itself out on it in a really witty and humorous way.

However, I did find myself unable to completely immerse myself in the drama throughout it; the plot points were sometimes just so outlandish that even I couldn't suspend my disbelief or overlook the plot holes, such as when it came to the human allergy premise.

Even with that, I thought the acting of the two leads was undoubtedly the best part of this drama — they really brought the story to life, had great comedic timing, and just were so adorable together in all of their fluffy scenes.

I actually enjoyed this one, aside some cliché moves and parts of the story, it was quite charming and fun.
They talked about a subject that is quite often seen in the sci fi dramas (feelings between a human and a robot) but in a very light kind of way.

The more serious part in this drama was the male lead’s "illness", where he is afraid to touch other people due to a childhood trauma but still, our brain is a complicated thing so it's quite refreshing to see a show portray something like this and not in a bad way.

I enjoyed both leading actors for the main couple, they are funny and cute together but also serious when the scene demands it.
There were certain things that could have been done better but even so, they did a really great job and their acting was on point.
The lead actress was great with what she was given for her part i mean, its not easy to pretend to be a robot all the time but she nailed it and was even funny sometimes with the lines she had to deliver.

I was also pleased to see that it goes on a happy note but lying can always put you in a bad spot and if people are seriously hurt, its hard to forgive that easily and friendships and even love relationships can end because of that, its hard to be human.

It is worth to watch and you will see time fly and laugh alongside these characters, it's a solid choice when you already used all your other options :D

I came across this drama without any expectation and it just blows me away! Maybe the idea of romance with a robot is not something new in the dramaland. But the story even though can be simple, it was heartwarming and give you a lot of fluffiness. You feel that your heart being squished and you end up giggling when you are watching it (that was the case with me lol). I think what makes this show is so brilliant is the acting of all the actors and actresses who were involved with the project. Their acting was superb and to the point. The chemistry between the leads also off the charts. The feelings between Min Kyuk and Ji A were shown in a beautiful way, through their subtle and direct gestures and expressions.
