Two Stars

I honestly couldn't care less about the company and all of those annoying people. I'm more interested in robot Shin, So Bong, Young Hoon, and David. I don't feel any sort of unfairness over human Shin forcing the chairman to hand over the company and go into a nursing home. The chairman has done much worse. I think Shin is kind of dumb and will be easily manipulated by Jong Gil, but that doesn't really bother me at all. They can do as they like to each other, and I wouldn't really care. Although the show gave us plenty of reasons to pity or empathize with human Shin, it failed to give us any good points to latch onto to turn him into someone we'd actually be invested in. There was a hint of that in the memory of Shin defending Young Hoon from the chairman, but any positive regard that built up has long since been used up in the face of how bratty and thoughtless he's been. It would be one thing if he were bad but intelligent or responsible. Or good but weak and foolish. But he's gone beyond the point of just a miserable person into evil territory, and I no longer care about him. But also, I'm surprised David's words got through to him because it's not like anything else did, and why would he trust David?
