nevrotic love stories
some people might say this is a realistic love story, and every side story couple stages a love story at different stages, whatever... sorry but bloody breaks up are not on my schedule and have never been. being shabby, petty and harsh in your relationship is also not on my plan. of course this does exist, I know, I saw this around me, but this is bad. this is bad behavior, not realistic one. and I don't watch dramas for (shabby) realistic stories. I can watch them around me. I really didn't appreciate this drama and I wouldn't recommend.if you want to be bored, annoyed and pissed, be my guest and go on. every character is petty and boring. I'd choose non of them as a friend or as a partner. so it's very difficult for me to just stand them for as long as 4 episodes. I am dropping.

a never ending story
my feelings after watching this drama are frustration and relieve.this drama focuses on what happens inside ones head when one needs to take decisions. through the "cells" which are not really cells, we are given the opportunity to experience what the characters feel from the inside. some cells are really cells (foot cells, hand cells, grease cells, yup!) and some are not: they are aspect of the character's personality (hunger, sensitivity, lust, ego, etc.).
inside (yumi) the main character's world, we get to see how she will manage her love life, then her career. this idea was genius, but I feel like it wasn't exploited to its full extend, and that's a shame, really. but this is entertaining, and I watched it all in 2 days. even if I didn't like the endding, I would recommend this for its uniqueness.
watch it with friends or family. there is too much frustration and reasons to argue with a lover.

disappointing end
the story is very promising. everything goes well until the last 5 episodes. it becomes more and more violent and hectic. and sadly the last episode isn't as soothing as it should be (because we are used to). if you are sensitive to violence I would not recommend this.I really loved the relationship between the main good character and the main bad one. they managed it in an unique way. this make this drama even more frustrating because it really had it all at first.
I really don't know which one is the main female lead because the supposed one was so bland that the second female lead took all the light.
so is it a good drama to watch? yes, but don't expect too much.

not for me
I read so many good reviews about this drama, and I just couldn't get myself into it. the AI thing was ok, I can manage this much and dive into robots and program genius masterpiece, that's very ok. but I froze when the ML gave his phone to the female villain. I just froze. and I couldn't go any further.he knew how dangerous that was for him to give his phone and yet he did. nothing much happened from that error but I froze. I didn't like the way they lied to the little daughter, I didn't like how messy the investigation was, everything happening randomly in a state of constant chaos. the fact that everyone try to manipulate everyone all the time...
I think that the story is very ok, but the way they unfolded it was wrong. and lead me to drop.
I wouldn't recommend.

the MFL has no expression
I think I don't like mini-format's dramas. it's very difficult to dive in if the momentum is cut all the time. but this story is still cute and it can be interesting to watch a mini drama if you have no much time to spend on a regular one.this being said, the most annoying thing about this drama is the face of the MFL, who is just cold and composed all the time. even when she is supposed to be upset, in love, afraid or crying, her expressions are just so odd and cold... maybe too much botox? she seems too preoccupied to be beautiful to let the emotions change her face. that's a big loss for a romance's drama.
but this is still entertaining if you need something fast to watch.

awkward situations will make you laugh!
today is october-9-2022, this drama is still airing and last aired episode is the 6th.the story: SEun is a "professional wife": she gets hired to play the character of the wife for all the men who can afford her high prices and need to fake their marriage for social reasons.
*1st of all: you should watch this, it's really good.
*BUT, these are the conditions you'll have a good experience:
1- yes, PMY did surgery, but that's not the point here. let go off your memories of her old self and welcome the woman she IS right now.
2- don't use the skip button. what seems like unnecessary details at the moment will be crucial later. you don't know it, but I know. so, take it slow and watch carefully. I am now already rewatching the first episodes because... I messed up. don't do like me.
3- the Second Male Lead isn't annoying. he seems to be, but truth is, without him we'd have no view on FL's past. he put light on MML feelings, otherwise he'd probably never second guess his true feelings. I like to call the SML "my naive little dumby"!
4- in korea you have 2 different things: the marriage license which validate the marriage, and the marriage ceremony, which has no legal value. it's ok the hold the ceremony before signing the license (or even without signing it). as long as the license isn't signed and registered, the marriage isn't valid. people will believe you are married because they came to the ceremony, when actually you are not.
what I like and why I recommend:
the story takes unexpected turns, and I have never experienced so awkward feelings just while watching a drama. for the 1st time in my life I understood a character who wants to forget at all cost a drinking night.
after last episode: the drama has a huge rewatch value: first of all because everybody was tempted to skip scenes, and also because we all under-estimated some "tiny" details. rewatching it made me understand a lot of scenes differently.

cut the non sens already!
everybody say "if you cannot accept a relationship between a robot and a human, don't watch this". but I do accept it, I loved the drama "zettai kareshi (my absolute boyfriend)", and my heart broke at the end. so, no, the robot isn't the problem! the problem is the incredible amount of non sens you come across when watching this! I just watched 4 episodes, so my spoilers won't ruin your drama, let's talk about it.at the airport when real Shin discovered that she was filming him, he took the camera and smashed it. this is how rich people deal with everything touching their intimacy and safety. it's not like his secretary doesn't know how to deal with threatening people. and yet:
she was a traitor once, and yet they let her come back as a body guard. they could have lied in front of the cameras and just give her an envelope and a fair good bye! but here she is, a traitor inside their home!
she put a camera inside his bedroom, and he didn't notice anything even when as a robot he connected himself to all the connected toys in his room. like really?
they caught her several times in awkward situations and she got away with it by pretending she was on the phone: which rich (and paranoid) guy would accept it without tearing the phone out of her hands to check the truth with his own eyes? as I said, they are rich people and they do that all the time, so why not here?
Shin is in the OR, and the bad guy enters the OR like it's his home. and what did he got? "listen, next time you behave like a bad guy, I will tell papa!" WHAT? you tell papa now! you get the man fired! you get the chairman to know that this man is threatening his grand-child!
how is it believable that rich people behave like coward puppies?
let's talk about this so wonderful FL now! she lies, like all the time. she has no integrity: Shin saved her life and she was still planning to betray him. on one hand she is like "oh! my heart is pounding so much!" and on the other hand she tails him, put cameras in his room and lie to him right before his eyes... I don't even know what to think about her behavior. there is no coherence.
nothing is understandable in this drama. I really cannot put up with more non sens than that, so I just dropped. I agree that robot-human story is something hard to get, but the problem is, that's not the hardest thing to get here.

too frustrating
I didn't expect things to be so frustrating from the very beginning. 1- people argue too much, there is no scene without a fight. perhaps this add some edging point to the story, but it's just too much. police officers fight against criminals, they fight against the victims' families, and then against their hierarchy and with each other. most of the time people don't understand each other because nobody listens. so I was already on edge from frustration, and then 2- they added the never ending flash back. I had the feeling things were going backwards.the story was ok, but these 2 killed my patience. I dropped.

this is how you need to behave in a love relationship
for me the value of a show comes from its entertainment level. as long as I feel satisfied when watching it, I'll score it well. this show is a very light romantic story. that means no deep thoughts, no deep script, no deep character development. so much it's frustrating sometimes. but it's light and refreshing. most of all, the relationship between the 2ML is very cute. really, the writer did a very good job on this. their first kiss is also now my favorite of all time!which leads me to the cons: the story is too lightly explored to be catching. you'll find it easy to stop and you'll probably WANT to stop sometimes out of frustration or disappointment. just do it and come back when you miss it. it's also easy to dive back in. I managed to watch it in between other shows and that was the perfect match.
there is too much short cuts and some essential info about the plot are not even revealed. some characters just disappear without reason or explanation. this is very poorly finished. (details with spoilers in comments)
when to watch: if you have nothing else to watch, or if you are bored, this is a perfect romantic story to keep your mood light. keep it as a filler between the shows you are currently watching. have fun!

boring
so the young lady met a man who disappeared on their wedding day, his stuffs and all photos they took together gone. friend said he was a swindler. 5 years after she meets him again (let's be honest, even if I didn't watch the thing, it's him) as the heir of a big conglomerate. no need to be a genius to understand that the family opposed to the marriage and sent the son abroad.she is supposed to be a famous and skilled journalist and yet she can't figure out as much. they kiss really easily both of them which kill the romantic feeling because that's too fast, too bland. and they seem to appreciate weird situations. this could have been ok if the length of the video wasn't so awkward: most of them are just 2.5 minutes. you just feel cut in your momentum and end up being turned off.
even if it's very short and fast to watch, I wouldn't recommend.
