One of the best feel good happy drama’s out there, MBC’s 2017 kdrama I Am Not A Robot starring Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin, will make you laugh, smile and cry.
It follows Kim Min Kyu (played by Yoo Seung Ho) a, for lack of a better word, rich boy CEO that has a serious, life threatening allergy – to people. If he touches or is touched by another person, or eats food prepared or handled by another person or even gets breathed on by another person, his body will break out in horrible hives, shut down, his lungs will close and he will die.
Despite all of this he’s managed to live the quarantine life to its fullest! Being a rich chaebol can allow for that, but he does get lonely.
It also follows Jo Ji A (played by Chae Soo Bin) who is a struggling inventor/entrepreneur that is starting up business after business, working non-stop, while praying for her lucky break. A pile of failed inventions though means a pile of unpaid debts, so when an ex-boyfriend offers to pay her $10K to pretend to be a robot for a day she agrees, totally unaware that the client she’ll be fooling is an ex-client of her own previous delivery service, an exchange that did not end pleasantly for either of them.
A boy that can’t touch humans and a girl that’s pretending to be not-human. Will their story have a happy ending or will the lies destroy more than an allergy to humans ever could?
Idk about my synopsis hahah!!
Basically, it’s a very sweet drama! I absolutely fell in love with this couple 🙂 Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin have amazing chemistry and the show is so bright and light but has just enough heart-wrenching depth to pull your heartstrings right out of your chest! And then return them to you later with a smile and a warm hug. ❤
Also, I happened to watch it for the first time right at the start of quarantine back in early 2020 so it felt very appropriate and relatable! xD
You can find the complete drama on Viki, or *cough**cough* some other less reputable sites. But, if you’re interested in kdramas at all, Viki really is the place to go. You can watch some shows for free with ads or, pay a well-worth-it subscription fee to access all the shows with no ads. Not sponsored by the way, just really like Viki.
Let me know if you watch the show and then what your favorite part is. 🙂 My favorite part is the confession scene – the big one! You’ll know what I mean 😉
