This is SO GOOD!
Although it sounds berserk, I was relieved the series didn't shift to "But she's a robot!" midway through. They stuck with the robot concept and faithfully represented how a thing like Ai—a robot—once brought to life, has a life of its own. It did take me back to Frankenstein—realizing how we humans build things for our own comfort and needs, and then forget their value and importance so easily.
To see Ai as her own person—an individual who deserves all the respect, affection, and care just like humans do—through Gen's eyes was deeply heartwarming. Irene is such a good character, too. Even though her past meeting with Gen felt a little illogical, it was still highly enjoyable. Chanya was amazing in both her roles; I was awestruck by her beauty and acting.
The ending was bittersweet. I am glad they went all the way and showcased Gen's old age. Ai shutting down her system because Gen had died, and that means she had no purpose or reason anymore—that was such a beautiful way to show that they were both completely all in with their love.
Easily one of my favourite GLs of this year, I must say! ><
