A feel good slice of life with a side of futuristic science

I watched it because I really like the idea of friendship between human and humanoid robots. And I wasn't really disappointed. The story is nothing extraordinary but it is entertaining nonetheless.
The cast is good looking and they acted well as I could see it. The relationship among the main characters , specially between the male leads is nice to watch. And although it's a short drama, it was good to see the lead character growing in that short span of time.

It's a drama you can watch when you don't want to use your brain too hard watching layers of plot unraveling and just want to feel good on a lazy afternoon before going to take a nap. I will probably not even gonna remember this drama let alone rewatch it. But, I did not get bored once and was rather engaged while I was watching.

I think for a webdrama it’s quite good and not your typical-webdrama-trope. The premise is good and the casts did a good job despite most of them are rookies actor. For the story, in the middle it feels somehow you get lost and wonder on which direction the story would take. I think they could do a better job to emphasise how dokgobin is an ai robot and not a human being, but in the middle sometimes i forgot that dokgobin is a robot and isnt capable of having feelings. But toward the end it gets better! It has a slight of romance but the romance isnt the main issue here. Overall it is a good drama if you want to watch something light!

이제 막 스무 살 된 애기... 혹시 집안에 러시아 사람 있니?

?️Another great discovery among the trash minidramas. Watched that somewhere in the backrooms of the internet. I've got many funny quotes written down. What is different in this drama, is that it doesn't reiterate how the naive robot is exploring the new environment but concentrates on the emotional attachment of people and existential crisis of the AI who doesn't even know it's not a human. The pace is gentle, and the soft sunny picture fits well the community atmosphere.

?️Now to the flaws. The acting of the loser guy is just disastrous. He's got the passion but not the balance. He either jumping around with inhuman expressions on his face or stands still like a statue from Rapa Nui. Special Korean slowmo makes it look even more ridiculous. Talking about GoBin, his role is just to be handsome in the frame, and he does it well.

The villain here is just helpless. It is a general K-drama key to write about rich evil guys with pocket gangs, and we know nothing about their goals.

?️I wish the storyline was exploring how the guys start to depend on the new generation of robots without even knowing it, or how the developer guy was feeling ownership over his newly created "nephew". However everything resolves in the exact way you expected, in the kdrama way. It ends up with nothing except for that humans took the benefit from machines again.

'로봇들은 보통 가장 약한 사람을 돕도록 프로그래밍 되어 있습니다. 독고빈은 현재 하덕호라는 인간을 가장 나약하다고 판단하고 친구라고 생각하는 것 같습니다.'
