Eu Não Sou um Robô (2017)

A show for robots and all

I really, really enjoyed this show. It quickly grew on me as a romantic comedy that understood what genre it was in but still knew how to deliver a story about people longing for companionship and the sense of value and worth that is derived from our attachments to other people.

The plot isn't majestic but it is good, centring around a businessman who cannot come into physical contact with people, and a woman trying to make her way through life. The lead duo share an amazing chemistry that makes every scene they share deeply enjoyable. The way their relationship built up, particularly through episodes 4, 5 and 6 were memorable. There were consequences to pay for and the acting was beautiful and emotional, but some of these major conflicts were resolved easily and the show finished without much tension. Nonetheless, it was still a show you could watch simply because of the chemistry all the actors shared with each other. They really knew how to step into the roles.

I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS
Never once disappointed. I rated this series 10 when I started watching and it's still stayed a big fat 10. You have those dramas where they die out no - this goes strong till the end.
ACTING - YOO SEUNG HO AND CHAE SOO BIN ARE ACTUALLY BABES. I ship them harder than any other celeb couple e.g. the Song couple etc etc. They. Are. So. Damn. CUTE. Their interactions are what I look forward to. Tbh I wrote a whole paragraph on the storyline but I fully would not care how crap the story is as long as I see YSH and CSB together. There were some emotional scenes too and woooooow. This drama has everything doesn't it.
YSH Dedication Time - He. Is. So. Damn. Cute. I thought Min Kyu was going to one of those typical cold, aloof characters (there's a fair amount of them in kdramas) but omg after the 1st episode - I was gone. I'm going as far as to say that Min Kyu's character beats any other character that Lee Jong Suk, Lee Minho etc have ever played (and I love LJS). You can never be sick of his smile and his eyes. He is a bundle of cuteness, innocence and this character beats all other bad boy characters I've ever encountered. Everyone needs a Min Kyu in their life.
CSB - I knew her as the supporting actress in Love in the Moonlight. Yeah, my girl is proving everyone wrong. Her acting capabilities are unbelievable. Her acting as Aji 3 was super realistic and cute and Ji Ah had so much sass and her encounters with YSH were so. cute. I find her absolutely beautiful.
Story - The storyline is really unique and may seem weird to some. However, they REALLY pulled it off. It was such a breezy, easy watch which made me feel giddy, giggly, cringy and embarrassing at times (IN A GOOD WAY). There may've been some cliches but they were pulled off WELL. Also, I feel as if the cliches here are different to other romcom dramas and give a different vibe but I'M TOTALLY NOT DISAPPOINTED WITH THE STORY - PROPS TO THE DIRECTOR AND WRITER. Can I just take this moment to praise the writer - the dialogue is so GOOD there's so many teasing flirty funny moments or remarks that either make me cry of laughter or I always find that my jaws hurt after watching an episode because I'm smiling so hard because *they're SO cute*. This isn't dry humor like some other romcoms out there - I totally dig this humor. Am satisfied with the ending too - wrapped up really nicely.
Music - There's this one song which is very light hearted and innocent and I love it because it always plays during cute moments. The OST does fit very nicely with the scenes.
I have to rewatch this. I've never rewatched a drama but I can totally see myself watching this again. Already suffering from withdrawal symptoms and the drama ended a few hours ago.

I don't know what I can do to persuade you to watch this drama but hey - it's just 16 hours in a day. I didn't write anything remotely negative in this review because I would pity anyone who haven't had a chance to watch it, even if it may not meet their expectations. I only regret that there aren't more episodes and it got low reviews in SK :(

One last thing to persuade you to watch INAR - Yoo Seung Ho's kisses are so damn hot.

Enjoy

This is one of the cutest dramas that I have watched. I seldom write reviews; I will most likely write reviews where I believe that it would be WORTH watching.

Throughout the drama, you'll experience different emotions: happiness, heart skipped a beat, butterflies, sadness. It is definitely worthed watching and I managed to finish this drama in a short amount of time. I managed to watch 20 episodes straight without stopping, which showed that this drama was just CRAZY good.

The leads are SO CUTE together and I wished that they are together in real life. I highly recommend this drama!

I'm rewatching this drama in order to make this review and what a delight it is! I'm a fan of sci-fi and although this show doesn't explore its sci-fi premise to the fullest, it's interesting enough considering the romance is the actual focus of the story, and what a romance! The leads are lovely and their interactions are funny and heartwarming, their relationship is definitely the driving force of the drama.

Min Kyu is a nice and charming lead who deviates from the most commom stereotypes for K drama CEOs, however his character is a bit too naive for someone who's supposed to be a genius. Ji Ah is a very cool and nice leading lady, she has a backbone and although the drama states many times she has a low IQ, she's not dumb or idiotic. The secondary characters are nice, Pi and Ji Ah's best friend specially stood out to me, even though they weren't that developed. The second lead, however, was quite meddlesome and self-centered in many moments, besides having no chemistry with the fl, making the love triangle basically useless.

The story is nothing memorable. The subplot of the company scheming was ok. What really put me off was the second half of this drama. I honestly wish the whole robot shenanigans had lasted longer because it was the most entertaining to me. After that the drama has a very abrupt tone shift and starts to drag more and becomes way too angsty and melodramatic, it gets harder to watch as the inital rom-com aspect almost disappears. Even so, I still recommend this drama for everyone who likes romance featuring some lightly fantastic elements.

SHORT REVIEW

I expected a very vain message about girls having to look and be perfect with little to no personality. Well well, what a pleasant surprise. I’m not a Robot has a great cast, amazing scenery, fun and light comedy. I'll seriously give much more credits to male writer-nims because many do deliver in terms of role distribution for women. In fact, impressive point ? The female roles. None of the girls are one-dimensional but all have a mind of their own and very distinct personalities and styles. I always appreciate when one girl doesn’t follow the norm in terms of image, here we have Sun Hye, a sexy, assertive and self-assured thick girl. Weakest points ? First, how long it took for the secret to be discovered. All this dragging made the whole situation look stupid. And second, Pi's evolution, I can't really say more otherwise I'd have to spoil.

Don’t expect 80% of the show to be funny, for all you comedy drama fans, expect quite a lot of drama too. Yoo Seung Ho confirmed his talent, Chae Soo Bin that I saw for the 1st time here totally impressed me, Kang Ki Young is now one of my current obsessions, not only because his acting is pretty good, but hey the icing on the cake is that he is attractive and that's one of the many reasons we watch dramas, right ? All in all, very enjoyable. How this production turned out to be flop in Korea is a mystery to me. I respect countries’ tastes but I really can’t fathom this one. I give it a 8.5/10!

OMG! So beautiful!! Usually I'm not a big fan of the cutes kdramas. I like more mature relationships, and all the get together tires me. But this drama was SO different even being a little more of the same. Their chemistry is awesome, specially while she's the robot. And their acting was also fantastic - I felt with him, and I believed she was 2 different beings. The story is also very interesting, tuned with the reality and today possibilities. The support cast is also SO great. Usually I don't even think about rewatching a drama, but this one is worthy. Loved it very, very much!

First completed Kdrama that involved an innocent and cute romance, all i gotta say was that it was great. I definitely appreciated the side stories in this drama that gave it more depth. I feel like this was a mindless watch for me which isn't bad this was a drama that I could relax and unwind too which is not something I can do with many shows so greatly appreciated. Highly recommend if you want a light and easy watch after something intense.

Story

I'm writing this review quite late after I watched it but I remember the pretty big ideas of it. The story was great in the beginning with Aji and Kim it was a great build up but then when it came for the reveal... Oh God it felt like I was being tortured not in a bad way but I was yelling at my TV for her to finally reveal the secret to him. But I'm definitely satisfied with the ending.

Cast

IMO I feel like everyone fits their character and acting skills were on point.

Music

Cute ass music that I would def replay they also had some quirky bops in that mix

A very sweet drama that made me feel warm. Even though there are many happy and funny moments, the drama also doesn't lack a good load of heartache, that comes with the created lies. In those gloomy times you wish for Min kyu's bright smile to come back.
Despite being fluffy and cute, the drama is still not slow and boring. The story is mainly focused on relationships. I was kept entertained, there was always something to look forward to. It's easy to watch, I did not have a problem, that I would need to push myself to watch an episode. You can finish it in just a two days. The ending is satisfying.

This is one of the dramas that get recommended all the time. When searching for great romance dramas, those lists usually include this one somewhere. There is good reason for that in me opinion.

Everything about this show was superb in me opinion. The story was very interesting and fresh. While someone acting like a robot isn't exactly a new story, the way they went about it was pretty interesting. I found meself really invested in the characters. Starting off only liking a few and finding a couple very annoying or hating them. Then they slowly started progressing and changing throughout the story, and you find that not all the characters are so bad. They are only human and everyone has their own circumstances.

I thought I wasn't going to be too fond of this story, but the thought of the human allergy really intrigued me, so I decided to give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. I cried a lot watching this drama. When the characters were sad, I was sad, when they were happy, I felt happy for them. I feel this drama does a good job making the characters real.

I would highly recommend this drama to anyone who likes romance.

Let me start off by saying this drama is truly worth it. It makes you want to watch more of it, no matter how long you have to wait (Which is something I don't usually do but it was that good that I waited weekly for it). Jia and Minkyu are unlikely yet comically paired, which is what I loved the most starting this drama. Their relationship leans towards a funny luck of fate that turns into a love story that you'll probably never forget once you watch it. Jia is a dreamer, one who finds herself in a predicament that eventually leads to something she couldn't have expected if she tried. Minkyu is stuck in his own problems, mainly from his possibly deadly allergy to human contact. Together, they make one of the best story lines I've watched so far. I'm Not a Robot will make you frustrated, teary eyed, and laughing all in 32 episodes. It's truly one of those dramas that is beyond sweet, funny, and just amazing to watch. I'm speaking highly of this drama because I believe it deserves to be spoken highly of. The chemistry of the main couple, and even the entire cast is what makes you love this drama even more. For 32 episodes, it makes you willing to rewatch it, just to see the story once more. Jia and Minkyu show the depth of a relationship, the ups and downs, all while pulling you into their story further. I'm Not a Robot is worth the watch, and if you don't believe me, watch it for yourself. (Hint: You won't regret it.)

Overall, I loved this show. The cast is amazing and it is very well acted.
At the beginning, it's really really funny, though it turns more into a drama along the way, to the point that the tone changes completely. This is probably due to the fact that 32 episodes were, imo, too much for this story, since it's quite obvious towards the end that a few episodes were basically fillers and a bit repetitive. This, and the fact that the tone could've been better balanced in the final episodes, is the only reason why I can't give a full 10. But it is still a very good show and I recommend it.

Here goes my first review.
It's not easy to keep up with Kdrama. So many to watch, so little time. But I am a fan of Yoo Seung Ho, so even though I hesitated to watch this drama, eventually my wish to see him act won and I dived in with zero expectations...and I ended up binge watching it. I could not stop.
What I loved the most about it was the chemistry of the cast. I think it's the key to success. You can have the best cast and the best story, but if they don't click in front of the camera you'll end up with a disaster. I'll reference here Thirty But Seventeen fiasco, in my humble opinion.
One second I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and next second I was grabbing for tissues sobbing like a teenage girl that got dumped by her celebrity idol (and I am nowhere near a teenager).
On a serious note, what I liked the most about it was the acceptance of the different they tried to promote. The desire to help someone. I didn't find the usual shallowness in this one. Also they managed to come full circle and wrap it up elegantly.
I'll stop here simply because it's hard to say more without spoiling it and I'll just say, it's worth watching because it's a well rounded drama.
Enjoy!
