I just finished watching 'Are you human too?' today And I so badly wanted to write about it.
Well, I started watching this drama months ago...then dropped it after watching till 3-4 episodes. I'll be honest, as much as I liked the plot , that being my reason for even starting it, I felt discouraged after a few ep. It felt dragging, a plot all over the place, confused and random characters.
But thankfully I decided to pick it up again, unless I'd have missed a great watch. As the show neared 9-10 episodes, it came all together. Everyone is hiding something , twists are suddenly too much, it takes the time to gather everything together. Even the hated characters have their own pov and reasons which grips the the plot beautifully. The romance part is really subtle here if you ask me. Romance isn't even a point here. Whole point is that damn title. "Are you human too?" That one question from a AI robot's pov makes us question if a person is only Human because they're born from a womb, can bleed, can feel..yet don't understand pain, loss, kindness,love. Or a robot who understood love, sadness, knew kindness, even though he couldn't feel it. As much as unrealistic the whole plot is, they tried their best to balance out sci-fi and realism. If one's going to be a picky snob saying "these are impossible" then go ahead. The point isn't whether the plot is unrealistic, whole point was who was more Human?
That android Nam Shin lll or so called Humans around him.
The ending was bound to be sad but they made it somewhat happy forcefully, but after you've cried your eyes out nothing matters but to see the two leads together. :3
*Kudos to Seo Kang Joon's acting as the robot and the Human Nam Shin. His acting kept me in a trance until the end. As much as loved the robot character of his, I equally despised the human counterpart. That only shows how capable he is as an actor. He definitely isn't in the second lead syndrome list anymore.
Soundtracks were awesome, pulling the exact heartstrings :') cast were great too!
