ADDICTING KDRAMA NAM SHIN 3 FOREVER !!
This is the 3rd time I watched this drama in my life and this drama has always have a special place in my heart, among with I am not a robot Circle , Move to Heaven , My husband Oh Jak Doo , Love in the moonlight, Signal , Mr. Queen and many more Forever Favorite K Dramas I have, this will never be not included ! I can clearly remember how I felt when I first watched this way back 2019 , from the first episodes I got excited and thrilling what's gonna happen next bonus was the adorable brown eyed leads Gong Seung Yeon and Seo Kang Joon ! they became one of my Favorite Actors since then and now that I finished re watching this again, all of those memories came back and I am so happy and in tears, this drama is one of the reason why I am so addicted and K drama is a part of my life.STORY
Thrilling, Exciting, Amazing that's what I ever think about it terms of the story of this drama, Oh Baksa creating a Robot that looks like her Son, those Idea is what makes me excited and this kind of genre is what I am really into ! I am always excited what's gonna happen next in this drama and how So Bong fell in love in a robot, Okay, so many people are thinking that this is an absurd Idea, a Human falls in love with a Robot, but the Idea of this drama is that this is a Robot that is like a Human, enough to act and pretend to be one ! and is it possible? yes ! in this drama ! so why do people expect that this will be like in the real life when this is a fantasy drama or a Sci Fi drama ?! Do they really understand what does Science Fiction means ?? Okay going Back, Kang So Bong's tendency falling in love with a Robot that is a Thing is I think has a same tendency with me, I mean if a Robot is like Nam Shin 3 it is not impossible for me to fall in love with that thing ! I really like the fact that Nam SHin 3 has to pretend to be the Human Nam SHin and secure the position at the PK Group while Kang So Bong and Nam SHin 3 overcomes all the trial with Mr. Seo , the suspense here is a Blast, whenever Nam SHin 3 almost get caught--that he is not the Human Nam Shin and the Romance is so good too ! just enough for a Sci Fi Drama. I am just a bit sad that in the later part Human Nam Shin seems to be the bad guy until Oh Baksa dies. I understand him for being annoyed to his mother for leaving him but it was him who want his mother go away in the first place ! at the beginning episodes right ? so he is really acting immature here and everything he did to Nam Shin 3 is really bad. Nam SHin 3 is an Angel and A dream guy for me ! I really want to have a robot like him. I wish I have a Robot Lee Je Hoon. I remembered the Part where David Told Human Nam shin that the Abilities of Nam SHin 3 -- the lie detector, the Disaster mode and the Hugging rule is Nam Shin humans real personality so Nam Shin 3 is really Human Nam shin ! and it was sad that he treated him like that but for some reasons I understand.
The Plot Twists is everything in this drama ! like every thing what we viewers thought was not everything ! love the fact that there is always a behind of everything that has happened and those were really fast that some times I tend to not believe and even some times I get Confused as Kang So Bong if that was the Human Nam Shin or the Nam Shin 3. I cried in this drama specially when Oh Baksa Died and Nam shin 3 has few hours left before the Kill Switch. All in all super love the story , love the suspense the romance the thrill EVERYTHING !
ACTORS/ACTING
Seo Kang Joon is a Legit one of the good actors of Korea , like could he ever do those fast changing of facial expression, He was really able to portray Human Nam Shin and Nam SHIn 3 like he was a different person ! I am so impressed. Gong Seong Yeon so love her and She is so beautiful! If I were her everything she did I will do also ! Love his Family and the two HyeongJe she has . Mr. Seo was so great also ! love his facial expression , Love Oh Baksa , she reminded me of my mother in the last part, Love David ! love everyone here !
OST/MUSIC
It is 2024 and the songs here still breaks my heart and brings me back to the world of this Drama ! love the sound effects
OVERALL
Addicting K drama ! 10 out of 10 for me! this drama is the reason why a single like me find happiness , this will be forever my comfort drama and gonna miss them Nam SHin 3 forever and Kang So Bong . I wish I will be Kang So Bong here and be with my Robot forever and surely will re-watch this one many many more times in my life 안영 남신 3 ! 안영 강소봉 !

I have always wanted to watch this drama because of Seo Kang Joon and because of his facial and figure <3For Gong Seung Yoon, I did not recognize her till ep30+ that she was the girl from 'My Only Long Song', that drama was good too. I'm sorry, :(
Anyways, this drama was epic and crazy. Each episode made me laugh hysterically and made me fall in love. This is my third show about a human and a robot, and in my opinion, this drama was very well done that is made really different from the other Non-human and Human show. Seo Kang Joon's acting was DAEBAK!!!, He really portraited his two-characters significantly and whenever he shows those smiles, it makes me go crazy over him!! Sometimes I want to see his arrogant bitchy face and when we do... I DIE!!! LIKE WTFF!!! WHY YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!
Every episode makes me want to punch my screen and touch Him!! HAHAHHA I'm a Physcho.
Overall, the plot of the story was astonishing. THE TWIST and turning points was out of my mind, there was at least more than 2 of those twist and THEY FREAKING KILLED IT!
The interaction between Nam-Shin and So-Bong was soo thrilling, they may be mad at each other but their chemistry was good, their fight tho.. I love it! <3
Sometimes whenever they do a switch-a-roo... it makes me kilig!!
For the ending... I just find it weird because it's so different from the other Robot-human dramas, but isn't that the point? but at the same time... I was hoping that they were going to be together... buT... I guess that's not the expectation... I still loved it tho, the ending made me cry non stop because of the "TEAR" ...if ykow u know.
Nonetheless, this was an exceptional drama filled with ROM-COM and thriller.
The antagonist really pissed me off, but that's what makes the actors good!!! And I'm proud of that.
This DRAMA REALLY MADE MY QUARANTINE AMAZING!! I may have finished it right away... but this will always be in my heart and my head(BARF).. ESpecially... you... SEO KANG JOON <3 <3<3<3
SARANGHAEYO!!
THAnk you, cast and director for this amazing drama.
I feel bad that I did not watch it a long time ago.. but I did... I may not have written a review.. so.. i am still grateful. <3<3<3

The story starts off with a mother and son that are in unfortunate circumstances because of a selfish grandfather and they get separated and honestly the rest is history. The mom loves her son to death and just yearns endlessly on being reunited with him and honestly; he grows up to be a piece of shit lol (is this a spoiler? Lmk) he honestly is just your average spoiled chaebol and ugh. lol. Because she's a genius scientist, she does what any average mom that misses her long lost son would do and makes a robot duplicate of him and because of a freak accident, the robot comes into play and I really just sympathized with him. I know robots don't have emotions but I think anything or anyone can sense when someone doesn't care for you and your just an object and I thought that was honestly just really shitty. Then he meets someone that actually understands loneliness and even though your like "how can a robot and human FALL IN LOVE" I'm with ya but I really liked the two together tbh. More than anyone else, I mean I like the Hyung/assistant and all but like everyone else was kind of just assholes. Except for the FL family really; they were entertainment. lol
I just want to say I love Seo Kang Joon and I love Gong Seung Yeon so they're basically the main reason I watched this whole show and I was not disappointed at all. He played such a great robot, when he showed emotion, didn't show emotion, how affectionate he was but it wasn't over the top. And she was annoying right off the bat lol she was almost TOO annoying but she redeemed herself well when she started to sympathize and be more understanding. I liked that. I liked Lee Joon Hyuk, because he really kept me on my toes, I didn't know if he was good or bad hahahah other than that, hate everyone else. Idiots.
The music as actually nice, what a good OST tbh.
I probably wouldn't rewatch it but I don't regret watching it at all. It made me emotional in the aspect of just feeling lonely and not understood, being the side burner but still trying your best. Overall, just an all around good AI show tbh.

I wish the epilogue was way longer - especially since some scene with the mean character were just frustrating and unecessary.
However, I LOVED that drama, it had me smiling, crying, bawling my eyes out and laughing really hard.
I absolutely adored Nam Shin III and So Bong, never felt annoyed or angry at them nor their romance.
All the actors were fantastic and this show is definitely worth watching!
The music was not God awful but could have been improved 100% - but that doesn't affect the drama to much.

the story shows its take on "humans" and "humans emotions".. what really makes a person human? and how does that affect the people and the world around them.
not only a funny and enjoyable but a very touching drama with a very sweet lovable characters and some great deep morals in there too!
1) CGI and scenery:
ok let me write first about the major thing that I was blown away with, watching this from the first scene I really was AMAZED of how good the scenery and CGI effects are!
hands down best CGI in drama I've ever seen, this drama has a lot of editing and photo manipulating as you expect from its title and genre, but coming to this I really was worried because alot of asian production quality in these "fantasies" really ruins it for me bc it always look fake and somewhat cringy.. HOWEVER this one dear god it's so well done and convincing its really shows that they put money and effort creating this.
not only that but directing and the scenery this drama shows is so breathtakingly beautiful.
if I'm going into details on this:
-they dealt with adding technical particles really well.
-the fact that a lot of scenes has the same actor in two roles, and making it like a legit scene without it looking cheesy and cheap.
-they cared about details enough to edit the actors faces in the "throwback" scenes from the past making them look younger.
2) Story:
you know I'm kind of sick of the repetitive and cliche stories some K-dramas has, and boi o boi is this story fuc*king great! it's really refreshing to watch some drama that talks about such different concept like this one.. robots and technology? fu*k yes! and I even liked the fact that it plays it during the current time instead of being typical and make it in future settings.
I also liked about this drama their take on "humans" and "humans emotions".. it really makes you rethink some stuff and how you look into people and see them differently, I also liked that in the story they didn't go overboard with technology so the story is very actually convincing and realistic it makes you think that it actually might be happening somewhere in the world.
3) Cast and Characters:
they did a very good job choosing the cast, starting with the mother oh god I can't explain how much I love their acting. I found myself losing my mind laughing on a scene and sobbing so hard the next one lol..
with Kim won Hae (kang so bong's dad) I really can't ask for more, he's my favorite ahjusshi his acting is so good. and all of the main leads I found myself falling in love with each one of them.
god even the bad guys I really hated their guts even when some of them were my favorite actors before, but each one of them really knows how deliver the right emotions to you the viewer.
-the female lead is strong and bad-ass she knows what she wants and she will protect it with her life not your typical whiny girl who gets protected. the male lead is the sweetest most amazing human being (see what I did there).. doing whatever it takes to protect the ones they love :')
4) Leads are so fuc*ing handsome OK!:
man I really need to brace myself from writing on this point forever lol, but seriously it wasn't hard for me to believe he was a robot since he looked this perfect. I found myself wondering "wait... what if he really is a real life robot!"..
it was my first drama to Nam shin (the lead) but damn his acting and facial expression is very real and sweet! I really could actually NOTICE when he was playing the other character just from his acting alone.. it's crazy!
5) Music and OST:
ok this drama joins my favorite drama ost list, it has a really neat and beautiful songs that will make your eyes fall out from crying too much.
6) Who Should watch This Drama:
if you like stories that aren't typical, or if you're sick of repetitive stories you will really like this one.
it has alot of funny and joyful moments that will make you laugh, you will love all of the beautiful scenery and the well made production!
you will find alot of nerve wracking moments too, also can't forget the sweet and adorable romantic moments that you'll see the characters go through~
and there are couple of plot twists that will make it exciting and aren't really expected. so it's nice to stick there and just watch how the character and events develop all along tell the end.
Definitely recommend watching it even for those who aren't into K-dramas ^^

This drama was a great drama! It had an interesting plot which I never expected from normal Korean dramas. This drama is based on a woman who lost his son in 1997 and remade him as an android robot, which looks exactly like her lost son. But in the 21st century, the original son called Sin, got in a car crash in Czech Republic, the android robot that looks exactly like Sin has to replace the real one. The story gets more and more interesting as you keep watching it. I recommend it to people who are 15 years old. Was this review helpful to you?
Who knew a robot could have better character development than most kdrama male leads?
Honestly I think this show is amazing in the message it sends. A robot has no greed or thirst for money/power. It’s humans which are the terrible ones. (now to clarify, the show isn't trying to send the message robots are better than humans, its message is for humans to be the best version of themselves)
For e.g. human Nam Shin, he’s all ‘how dare you say a robot is bEttER tHaN Me!!1!!1!!!’ when literally all you have to do is not be an asshole.
Anyway, I can safely say this was a drama I thoroughly enjoyed. The story is so good (ignoring the plot holes), has great acting (someone give Seo Kang Joon an oscar) and a good soundtrack.
Going into it I wasn't sure how I felt about a human x robot relationship but after watching it - I stan. Not saying I'm ready for human-like robots to be put into production to the world, but it's Seo Kang Joon's portrayal of this robot in particular that made me catch feelings. Like he is just so charming, honest, caring and it's his smile - his pure happy smile
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
The only reason it isn't a 10 is because the plot towards the end was just getting so insufferable. Why is an intelligent robot making such dumb decisions and behaving so naive?? Or our protagonists just leave mega important things lying around. It's bizarre, the villains are stupid but luckily for them - the heroes are even stupider.
But complaints aside, I would definitely recommend this drama.

Seo Kang Joon's acting was absolutely phenomenal. He played both parts so well that it actually felt like two different people. His entire body language changed between both characters. I was also very impressed with Park Hwan Hee who I've never seen before. I hope she gets a leading role soon because she really deserves it.
Although the storyline is nothing new, this drama really made it fresh. There were also quite a few twists that I did not see coming.
The music was good, but could have been better in my opinion. There was nothing really memorable about any of the songs, but I guess that's also a good thing because they didn't stand out too much and take away from the story.
Rewatch value 10/10 for sure. I would watch it again right now... If my plan to watch list wasn't so long.

ACTING/CAST: As I said before, Seo Kang Joon was the main reason for me choosing this drama and I've not been disappointed at all. He is a very good actor and he pretty much proves it by portraying two characters that are totally different from each other at the same time.
*To be honest, I liked the cast in general. I think all the actors played their part very well and the distribution was very carefully done. Also the Seo Kang Joon and Gong Seung Yeon ship had a lot of chemistry and looked amazing on screen.
MUSIC: I genuinly liked the OSTs of this drama. I think they were perfectly selected according to the storyline and the scenes they were played on. And the fact that Seo Kang Joon sings himself one of the OSTs is a bonus.
REWATCH VALUE: Totally worth rewatching it. If I had the chance to watch it again, I would really love to.
OVERALL: "Are you human too?" is a 100% worth watching drama. It just gives good vibes. It's the kind of drama you would enjoy watching on a spring day at noon when the sun throws its rays through the window and the atmosphere requires a hot tea and a good drama.

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.
