worth watching just because of Seo Kang Joon
this drama was a mental rollercoaster for me, it started with all the best intentions and ended up with me wanting to rage quit watching it.
the first part of the drama is super interesting, it was entertaining and fascinating watching robot Nam Shin training and trying to act like his human counterpart; Seo Kang Joon is absolutely brilliant in this! He does an amazing job at managing the microexpressions and body language that distinguish human Nam Shin with robot Nam Shin.
i'm just sorry that after a while the drama became so boring, focusing only on who does what to get the company (from little jokes to literal murder???), with a side of human Nam Shin being an assh*le towards everyone, especially that poor robot. I mean, I guess it's understandable to be shocked and upset if you wake up from a coma and find that a robot copy of yourself has replaced you, but there's a limit to everything.
Kang So Bong has got to be one of the WORST female leads I've ever encountered. She starts as an opportunist double agent, and although she changes throughout the story and sides with the good guys (except that disgusting journalist friend of hers, who is there just to expose people's secrets and ruin lives), she is so annoying and SELFISH all the time. I'm sorry, who decided you were the only one who got to have Nam Shin 3 all to yourself and stop him? She keeps telling him he has to fight for his freedom and then tries to stop him every time he tries to do things out of his mind.
I'm not even going to mention the ending which was super fast and left me with lots of questions, but honestly I was just glad it was over, I just think it's too lazy to do a "one year later" time skip and assume that everyone is living happily ever after.
In conclusion, if you watch it, watch it for Seo Kang Joon and his amazing acting, because you're going to want to slap in the face pretty much everyone else on this series.
