Well from reading other reviews i can say that people honestly either have super high unreal expectations before watching a drama or they just over think it in general XD

I try to keep and open mind and go without any expectation at all and most of the times, i end up being surprised in so many good ways :D (some bad too but that doesnt happen very often lol)

This drama was a nice surprise. It has major flaws, yes and it could have been a much bigger and better show. BUT they still did an amazing job within this subject. I have seen other similar dramas and this one was way better to watch for me.
To my understanding, the main couple of the story was the female lead DaDa and her ex and the robot was the 2nd male lead and that psyco bish the 2nd female lead who is only in the drama to make me cringe a lot??!? XDDDD
Either way even if i'm wrong let's just go with it and wing it anyway XD

People say they felt no chemistry between the female lead and the robot....i mean, seriously? Are you blind?
They have complex characters and i actually think they did a great job acting them.

The female lead is such a conflicted soul, i could relate to her, giving away all your life to someone for years, your unconditional love and even tho he loved her too (she still loved him more and sacrificed even more for him too) he didn't apreciate what he had until she decided it was enough, that she was no longer happy being the one loving for 2 and not getting as much commitment from his part. I know her ex had some reasons to act the way he did and to how he thought by doing such things he was protecting her but in the end he was protecting his career and himself more than actually thinking about her feelings on the long run. I could smell disaster from a mile away and sadly it's what happens. But then she found solice in another lost soul like her (the robot guy) and they both unlocked things on each other, they became more human while sharing life's hardships and daily struggles. She became stronger and a better person because of him and he also became more human because of her kindness and because she treated him as an equal, a person.

The actor that plays the robot really did a good job, i actually fell in love with his character little by little as he himself discovered the world around him, what he was capable of within his program and off of it, what he could become and how he showed more sympathy and emotions than his fellow humans. The journey he goes through to become human so to speak it's hard and sad but at the same time beautiful. His program and design was to be a love bot, a toy to be used and discarted after but in the end he became so much more, thanks to her!
And his maker, who was such a silly goofball but such a kind hearted guy, loved his pairing with the manager too, such cuties XD

And lets not even get started with that Diana character because i wanted to murder her every single time i layed eyes on her XD I felt some sympathy for her at one time or another but my god, she got on my nerves so badly!! lol

What i'm trying to say after all this, is that i was actually on the edge of my seat rooting for the conflicted girl and the lonely robot the entire show! I shipped them so hard you guys won't even believe. I was actually starting to be upset just considering that they might not even end up together at the end or be together at all. I was devastated. I really liked the idea of them as a couple, they were a match and they were better together, as humans, as persons and as 2 pieces of the same puzzle. I wanted them together and couldn't care less about her ex or that psyco girl, all i cared about was for my babies to be given a chance to be human, to be seen as an equal, as a person who is capable of helping others, of finding love and to be able to live a happy life. So i ended up fully invested in this drama even tho i had no kind of expectations for it XD

Not many dramas do that for me nowadays, so it was a good one for me to watch and i recomend it.
You might like it or not, depends on your tastes and what you like to watch.
But it's so underrated in my opinion.
