By preserving the brain, not the body, life can be rearranged to be based on brain signals; to see the world through a camera, conduct online work through the web, and speak through a speaker - this is called 're-life' or 'regeneration'. Joo An chose to re-life. For Joo An, the body was just a place of suffering. The desire to live a pain-free life and to protect Tae Eun's existence was so great. Tae Eun agreed with Joo An's choice. However, on the first day of living together with the resurrected Joo An, the two of them are somewhat creaky. (Source: 선장 YouTube) Edit Translation

A thought-provoking sci-fi work
Some say that the best science fiction puts a spotlight on some part of the human condition, and this short film does just that.Main character Tae Eun's girlfriend Joo An no longer has a human body: after carrying out a medical operation which transferred her consciousness to a computer system, she now has a web-camera for her eyes, a speaker for her mouth, and control over their home's devices for her hands. And although the change was by Joo An's choice and Tae Eun was supportive, the two both struggle to adjust to this new reality, and are confronted with the need to communicate and to consider each other's perspectives.
Love Does Human has a bit of a slow start, and there were points where I didn't understand why the characters were reacting in a certain way, but it all comes together beautifully in the end. Through its sci-fi premise, viewers are encouraged to think about real-life problems using a different angle, and the movie never gets too heavy. Also, shoutout to some excellent voice work from the two actors - Joo An is performed nearly entirely through voice but she feels deeply human and present, and Tae Eun's actor also has a standout scene featuring some great voice acting. All in all, it's a short film that's well worth checking out!
