Yes, but he still hasn't told her about HIS special power. I did see a still cut with her wearing his headphones, so perhaps that scene is coming and it should be fun. Plus, WHY are kisses with her a cure for his illness??. I imagine it dates back to whatever childhood trauma they experienced together.

I don't know Korean, but as I watched the preview, I tried to guess what they were saying and many of them (especially PilYo and OhJiYoung) were close to what you translated.

Just completed. I am giving this series my lowest rating ever (6⭐). The first 1/3 was interesting and intriguing with plenty of endearing moments between the two leads. The middle episodes were full of crying. And crying. And crying. At this point, I wondered - why was this described as cute and fluffy. The final 1/3 we are back to cute and sweet - as in saccharine sweet overload. I FF through most of it because most of it was so repetitive. My favorite couple was Hwang Yoo Chul and Ye Ri El - but we would get one 30 second scene with them and then. . . .back to 10 minutes of Main Couple.

For those viewers who enjoy shows where almost all events/scenes are focused around one couple, you will like I'm Not a Robot.

Crazy Love still at 1st place but with much higher ratio: 50%!!!

Agree with blueberrycakepop - Hong Kong works for me for just about everything unless I'm using my VPN to directly access a broadcast in Korea or a Korean TV channel.

I posted above some of the childhood history after spending 1/2 hour this morning (my time) re-watching Ep. 1. At Mark 22, Ye Sul says she found out about her ability "22 years ago" as she remembers kissing her father in the hospital. Also, Ye-sul's dream (very first scene in Ep. 1) provides more clues about a childhood friendship and a rescue from drowning. It's not clear who rescues child Ye Sul, but I find it fascinating that young Min Hoo is played by the same child actor (not a tween) that rescued Mi-soo in WWWSK.

And then he mentally beats himself up over it.😊

Min Hoo visits Dr. Oh for breakfast and they discuss his hyper-sensitivity. Dr. Oh says that Min Hoo’s “hearing” is his most sensitive among his five senses and that he should “focus on the sounds that you want to hear” such as the “voice of the woman you love.” Thereafter, Min Hoo is super focused on listening to Ye Sul: outside her home late at night when an intruder is approaching her in the dark; a conversation with Um Ji that he hears through the office floor; when she cries in secret after her demotion (again, he hears her through his office floor).

Up until this point, Ye Sul has vociferously denied having any feelings for Min Hoo – to his face and with everyone else who asks. But listening to her conversation with Um Ji, he gets a completely different vibe – her uncertainty about the relationship and then, FINALLY, he realizes that she remembers her vision from their car kiss and that it wasn’t a negative one.
At that point, come hell or high water, he’s going to pursue this relationship.

I think it also connects to why he demoted her and assigned her to a different team (he could have taken different steps). Ye Sul told him he was “never wrong” and had a good reason – I’m looking forward to see that one play out.

Re: childhood trauma. It’s one trope that I dislike, but from the many clues in the title sequence AND the opening dream sequence in Ep. 1, there is no doubt in my mind that Min-Hoo and Ye Sul had a friendly connection as children and they were somehow both involved in an accident (perhaps with the first ZELUS model). That’s when Min Hoo’s hypersensitivity began – and presumably around the time that Ye Sul became aware of her kiss sensitivity (22 years ago when her father died).

Ep. 5/6 Pivot Point: Actor Lee Han-wi, who plays Dr. Oh Kyung Soo (Ji-young’s father and surrogate dad to Min Hoo) finally showed up. I think he plays a “father” character in 4-5 K-dramas each year (many in cameos). His relation to Dr. Oh Seung Taek is still unclear. I thought his conversation with Min-hoo was a major pivot point in the drama (more below in Spoiler post).
The KSS title sequence provides lots of visual clues about childhood trauma of both leads and we got a bit more insight in 5&6 as well. (more below)

I follow the Reddit protocols for spoiler tags - key plot developments and other important information. Different people interpret those terms in a variety of ways but I refrained from even mentioning the major pivot points that occurred.

I watch w/Disney+ and a VPN. When it is released in Asia on Disney+, I use my VPN (I have good luck with Hong Kong) to watch. There are no delays or ads.

Eps. 5 & 6 - what a roller coaster and it's middle of the night for me, so I won't write much except to say that it was worth staying up to watch to the very end of Ep. 6. We're at the halfway point of the series and as I mentioned earlier, the clues about childhood trauma are there. Ji-young continues to be a brat, SML continues to be a jerk, Ban Ho-Woo is cruel to Dr. Oh, and childhood actor Moon Woo Jin (Young Joon in WWWSK) is growing up into a handsome young tween.

And the audience finally learns what Ye Sul "saw" every time she kissed her ex. And we learn what she saw when they and Min-Hu kissed at the end of Ep. 3.

Really great episodes.

Eps 5 and 6 released at 4:00 p.m. KST (6/8/22). The MDL counter is wrong.

I'm beginning to obsess over this show like I did for Crazy Love. Unfortunately, I believe we are headed for some "connected" childhood trauma between the two leads. That little charmer Moon Woo Jin (who played young Young Joon in WWWSK) will appear eventually as young Min-Hu. The opening to the show provides many clues. Hopefully Ye Sul will get a backbone and confront her future rather than caving into what she has always believed to be inevitable. As for the SML - ppffftttt.

I read (on Twitter) that they will be released at 4:00 pm KST (Wednesday). (Also read 3:00 Philippines). HotStar (India) says 12:30 pm - which correlates to the other two time zones. I'm staying up late tonight (USA) to see if it happens. or if there is a delay between Disney+ (Asia) and HotStar (even though they are associated with each other).

The finale of GTS's story arc will be a good one and I'm glad the Main Couple's bond stayed strong throughout the series, even when they were squabbling and teasing each other. Other than the Main Couple and Yu-Na/Jae Hyung (who maybe got 3 minutes per episode😥😥😥) there was nothing that kept me eager to watch. I'll probably watch the last 3 episodes all at once after they are all released. I've now moved on to Kiss Sixth Sense and I'm staying up very late tonight for the next release (midnight my time) on Disney+.

I can't translate but the scene with Doctor Oh and Ban Ho Woo is pretty clear. 🤣🤣🤣

Should I feel stupid for not realizing that the Actress and the Doctor are closely related? Are there clear statements or references that went over my American head?

Actress Name: Oh Ji-young
Doctor Name: Oh Seung-taek

Although the dialogue (English sub-title) never clued us to their relationship, I guess Koreans would instantly pick up on the fact that they are closely related (siblings? Cousins?). In public setting (hospital) they used casual honorifics but were extremely familiar with each other.

Their close familial relationship was front stage in Ep 4 in Min-hu’s apartment where they clearly have a familiar and comfortable relationship.

Side note: Eventually, a character named Oh Kyung Soo will appear; I assume he is the “Dad” that Ji-young was talking to in Ep. 2 and the Dr. Oh mentioned by both Min-hu and Seung-taek. He will be played by Lee Han-wi. I’ve lost count of how many of my kdramas he has appeared in, but my favorite was probably his cameo in Her Private Life.

I see you have been having fun on Viki.😄😄😄

I'm ready to increase my rating to a 10 BUT ONLY if some of the ghosts are allowed to stay. Bittersweet endings do not rate a 10 from me.
