Without it always being her in the middle of trying to make a problem for the main character, there could still be a good story (if not better story) if they focused on how the main evil character used his power to get more unexpected people/characters to help him, but with her, they add an annoying aspect that I really dislike.
Look don't get me wrong, annoying characters are needed every now and then, but for this story and it's plot, it is not. If they wanted to keep her as an annoying character, they should have had her team up with her paparazzi friend and been annoying totally separate from the main plot and only show up every couple of episodes.

Sci-Fi, Fantasy
I came across this drama when I decided to I was going to watch all the dramas Seo Kang Joon has acted on. I loved his work on Cheese in the Trap and When the weather is fine. He played different roles in each and he did it amazingly well. Oh, his smile is to die for ;).Unfortunately, I had to drop this drama right when I was getting towards the end. I didn't want to waste any more time watching it, so I just googled to know the ending. I mean, Nam Shin android does not feel any emotions, he is a robot. But why did it feel sad when the mum was paying more attention to Nam Shin human? This confused me and I found the story line lacking as I progressed.
All in all, this is just my opinion and it is watchable since I managed to watch 28 episodes of if. The main leads had great chemistry and I loved how Seo Kang Joon was able to play both roles so perfectly.

To put it simply, the drama was not good. Selling a love story between an android and a human is a tough task on its own but the lack of chemistry and a functional dynamic between the two made it an impossible task to achieve. Not only the female lead was bad as a character but her inconsistencies pilled up more problems. Allegedly, she was his bodyguard and a strong headed ex-UFC fighter but she always ended up being the weakling princess who needed saving. I thought the drama might do an interesting play between the real guy and his duplicate android but the drama didn't put in the slightest of efforts in that regard. In fact, the entire narrative the drama went for was a load of crap sucking out any possible merits that might arise.Was this review helpful to you?
YOU WILL GET INVESTED!!
Okay i’m not exactly sure why it says 36 episodes when everywhere I searched there’s only 18 episodes available ?? BUT, I loved this kdrama!The concept was sketchy at first, I was curious how they could possibly make a romance show between a human and a robot, like I get these dystopian concepts but when you think about it, how could that possibly happen when robots are easily controlled by humans? I was very scared this show would turn into her sorta manipulating him into being with her but they made their story beautiful!
So much development between Sobong and the robot, their romantic scenes were honestly swoon worthy but that might just be me cus I have a crush on the actor hehe…
There were some admittedly stupid scenes in the show, like how most of the characters reactions to something shocking happening being like 3 days late, like I get it’s shocking but, stop gawking like a statue!!! It was honestly annoying a bit but i digress!
I was a little confused why the villain was shown so mysteriously in the jail looking off into the sun whilst his secretary talked to him, it just feels like there were still some plot holes left in the final episode, also about how they fixed up the robot after being practically killed like…yeah just so much happened. Somehow in the last few minutes of the final episode, everything was magically in its right place , it was satisfying but from a plot hole point of view it was just a big …eeeehhh…
Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed this show, I wasn’t bored at all and looked forward to every episode. I wish we got to see the ML and FL intimate a lil more often— granted he IS a robot so maybe that was always out of the script but whateverrr the actors had so much chemistry with each other, I needed more smh!!!
It’s a good show especially for it being in 2016, I guess that year was a prime year for K-Dramas. Really good !

The Greenish Flag Male Lead and he's AI, he's so cute and loveable
I LOVED this drama so much, did not expect to like it as much as I did. I came into it thinking it was going to be a funny relationship between humans and AI and then I left with so many feelings of warmth for AI SHIIIINNNN. He and Sobong are one of the cutest K-drama leads.If I had the chance to pick a perfect super sweet AI bf, who looked as hot as Shin, then you bet I'd date him too. This drama was so much fun, you have to watch it with a grain of salt because it's not meant to be a literal/in-depth plot. Also, the actor for Nam Shin was so amazing, the way I hated human Shin, with a passion, but loved AI Shin. He even acted like a robot, but humanly, it was such a good performance.
It's funny how an AI+Human relationship had better character development and story, and side characters than most K-dramas I've seen. I would HIGHLY recommend this drama if you're looking for a fun drama with some serious tones, you're going to love the main leads trust me.

The last scene was the final blow...It triggered the destruction of my neurons...
I do not mind interspecies or AI or cybernetic love. Although this was too much.Maybe they could have told this story in the 24th century or so… The way the IA is portrait is completely nonsense, going from a rational machine learning to a machine with feelings…
STORY – the story is very messed up for me. We have a woman in love with a machine, a grandfather completely driven by power, villains that kill and do all sorts of bad things without being punished, a mother that want to sacrifice one to have the other, a spoiled evil man that becomes good in the end (maybe an upgrade was made), etc.
The plot is not well made and there is a lack of coherence in the way Nam Shin 3 treats and relates with Kang So Bong.
If we want philosophical dialogues and think about this technological future, we have the incredible Blade Runner movie or the short story: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
ACTING – it was very good for most of the characters. I don’t think the transformation from Human Shin to the AI Shin 3 is very big, but Seo Kang Joon did a good job. That was probably the best of the drama. The casting deserved a better story!
MUSIC – I don’t recall any of the songs, so i don’t have much to say.
REWATCH – no. It was painful for me watch until the end. There are some cute parts, a few funny scenes (could have been so many more), but I will never rewatch this again
OVERALL – don’t know what to say. I am a man, I like rom-com and maybe I did not find any connection with the romantic relationship (if we can have a relationship with a robot that don’t feel nothing…). I felt in other dramas of this kind, but never in this, and I really tried.
SPOILER!!!
The last scene killed me! A robot with lacrimal glands?!?!?!?!
I do not get it! Sometimes the ending of the rom-com dramas is so open or with just a scent of what is going on. In this, the writer(s) put a tear in a robot!!!!!!!

Oml pls get me an ai bf ????
Went in with zero expectations cause the whole ai love wasnt my thing but HELL was i proven wrong. i fell in live with the drama, the robot, the FL and the secretary. Despite being a robot you can tell the FL is special to him and i find that frking adorable. Made me want a robot bf despite me being totally broke with 0 skills. (basically i have no chance of getting a robot bf)Then came my fave line ever!! when the FL told the robot she liked him and she dont expect nth in return. I swear dramas usually force the whole idea of “i like you so you need to like me or do smth for me” and i hate that idea. So when the FL said that i was shocked af(this is when i fell in love with her). I like how the rs between the 2 leads was so mutual and that they never tried to hide it. It was so cute, i cried a lil.
Ultimately, its a great drama with a great cast and super cute storyline btw the main leads. TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Worst Kdrama Ever
Worst Kdrama ever. It wasted my time. I don’t understand how the FL could end up with the robot when there’s a perfectly human being around!!!!!!!!?????The whole idea of the FL and the Robot being together was that, the male model of the AI was an asshole and toxic in drama. But…. and so what??♀️
BTW, am not hating on the actors. They are very talented but the storyline does not make sense no matter how much everyone wants to explain it to me. I still do not approve!
What a waste of time and money downloading this garbage of a drama

Difficult to rate
==Breakdown==Background plot - 45%
Romance - 35%
Misc comedy - 20%
Background plot - Meh
Romantic chemistry - Good
Misc comedy - Meh
Production value - Fine
First, the ML and FL and their chemistry were pretty good. The rest of the cast did a good job with what they were given. But the story was uneven, funny moments felt super forced, and the dialogue was often stilted.
I love a good fantasy / sci-fi romance, and in a fantasy/fictional setting, I'm open to the idea of a robot / human love story, otherwise I wouldn't have watched this kdrama. But this drama never fully committed to the idea, and thus it suffered. I wonder if it was the director or the script writer who had a problem with the concept. It felt like the story kept apologizing for the idea which undercut the concept and left the end ultimately unsatisfying.
I want to compare this one to 'I am not a robot,' but don't want to give any spoilers. Basically, the difference between the two is that this one seemed embarrassed by its own premise and that one fully committed to the idea.
