Eu Não Sou um Robô (2017)

So, I really did not enjoy this drama as much as I thought I would based on the reviews. The first half was quite promising, and I think both the romance and characters of the leads were being very well developed. However, that gets somewhat wasted in the second half. The two leads spend several, painfully slow, episodes apart, to the point where I was honestly beginning to forget about the development of their cute romance. Not to mention the whiplash from going from a very lighthearted and comedic first half to suddenly being thrust into an extremely melodramatic second half.

And this second note is a minor one, but I also was not really that interested in any of the subplots. The corporate drama was boring and predictable, and the side characters' romantic subplots were passable at best.

I didn't know I would love this drama so much that I end up watching all night just to finish this in one sitting.
I fell for Yoo Seung Ho. He's such an amazing actor. I've only seen him in Missing You and I hated him a lot on that drama.  I wish to see him more and I am excited about his new project with Kim So Hyun.
There's nothing unlikable about this drama. I cried a lot and laugh a lot. I just soooo love this. I want to have more. I just don't want it to end. It's been a long time since I've felt like this after finishing a drama. I want part 2 T.T!!!!!!!

Wow

I recently reached my milestone of having watched over 100 k-dramas and was thinking about what would be in my top 10. This romantic comedy is definitely one of them. I am surprised that this is still considered so underrated.

I prefer comedies that are realistic, yes, that is difficult when you have a drama about a robot that is so human it is unlikely to exist for another 100 years, but I hate shows that step into the territory of being a farce. I think that is very hard to do and is something that Western comedies frequently fail at. Some may argue that it is often too serious to be a comedy. That is partly true once we reach the middle part of this drama, but it does not last too long.

I like to try and think how I would respond if I was in the same position that the characters find themselves in. I know this can be a bit of a stretch and it is unlikely I will ever be rich or meet a lifelike robot, but I really think I would behave the same if I was in their shoes.

The best comedy for me is when the characters try their best to play it straight. The situation may be funny, or even absurd, but the actors are not acting as it being so. Their actions are believable and not exaggerated. This is where such a good script helps the ML and FL really show what great actors they are.

I really have to commend the writer for creating such a flawed ML character who starts of as immature, but likeable, and who matures in a methodical and realistic manner. There are no sudden jumps or changes in character. You must praise an actor who is capable of showing anger but whose actions are understandable and human but shows an emotional growth that is rare in any drama, never mind a romantic comedy. Although the FL character made mistakes, she remains sympathetic and loveable. Again, the right actress with a good script.

I maybe would have liked the ending to go slightly further. I say maybe because I did not want this drama to end, but the ending works without dragging the drama on unnecessarily.

I also love the music on this show. It is not overused, it emphasizes the comedy and hits the right emotional notes when needed without being forced.

I think this is a good drama for when you're in the mood for a simple drama. To be honest there aren't a whole lot of elements to this other than some slight angst and romance. Of course, it's a kdrama- so it does have a love triangle involved which made room for character development. This being said, I would have liked the plot to be a bit more complex, I just felt like the story-line was missing something. I can't put a finger on what, but I needed a bit more spice to give a 10 star review. Honestly, I don't see myself re-watching this but I would recommend it to someone trying to enter the kdrama realm. The casting a great, story-line is great, and the elements are good for someone just getting into kdramas.

Fun watch

Rated down strictly because this show was entirely too long, with too much extraneous stuff. Aside from that, this was a wonderful drama. The two main characters in this were lovely. I loved their relationship. His dialogue with her after he finds out that she's a robot? He was absolutely wonderful and my heart broke for both of them. His friendship with the team was fun to watch, they were all misfits in their own way, yet they found friendship with each other. The ending was cute, though somewhat rushed. Definitely a good show to watch, though. Great chemistry between the two main characters, no "fish face, open eyes kisses".

The cutest cuties

This were my second drama I watched with 유승호 오빠 as a ML. I rewatched this many times.
Story: Really interesting plot. A psychological disorder refering inability to touch a human' body because of trauma. He trusts robots. But develops feelings for "robot" FL. This is the plot twist I like haha.
Acting /Cast: I adore all members of "I'm not a robot" cast. SeungHo acts very well. Noone's acting nor character annoyed me.
Music: For me OST is the most crucial thing because it can take us bad to the thrills, story of drama. Light songs. I love it. I have noticed that Stella Jang sang also in MY STRANGE WAY HERO OST.
Rewatch value: not too many not too little. Just
Overall. Chemistry between FLl and ML is thr cutest.

This drama is an unexpected, wholesome gem and deserves all the love it receives. I'm not good with words, but this drama left me with so many positive feelings that I felt compelled to try writing a review--I hope that these words, alongside the other great reviews, may help convince someone to give this a try.

Since many have emphasized what a pleasant surprise this drama was, I'd like to reach out to those who are still skeptical. This is for the reviewers who have faced disappointment in even the most popular romcoms, or even their favorite ones, because I am the same. I'm here to tell you that you can let go of your doubts.

I recently began watching dramas again a month ago and kept seeing this title pop up on the front page, but I'd skip on it. The saccharine-sweetness, the cliches, the lackluster humor or the abundance of plot-related letdowns that I had experienced so many times over--no, I had sworn to myself I would not fall for that again. ...And I didn't.

After watching through the first episodes of other dramas and giving my complete attention to them, hoping that one would keep me going, my will started dwindling. I decided to give I'm Not A Robot a shot. Once in a while you'll find a diamond in the rough. This is that diamond.

WHAT TO EXPECT
It's one of the most well-balanced romcoms I've ever watched, which is an odd way to describe one, but you know what I mean--there's a pattern in dramas you find after watching a couple dozen dramas, that leaves you with less hope and lower standards when you're picking out your next watch. Maybe the 15th episode or 16th episode contradicts the past 14 episodes--14 hours!--you've invested into it. Perhaps some of the unaddressed conflicts leaves you feeling irritated. Perhaps your interest begins dwindling after the leads get together, which is something that you can't help of course. Perhaps you've grown to love the secondary characters, and feel a tinge of regret because they don't receive enough screentime. Or perhaps you're tired of the melodrama consuming the entirety of the episodes.

You will not find these issues in I'm Not A Robot. Yes, I was amazed and beyond impressed! How could such a little-known drama, with such a seemingly basic premise, do so much right, when my other beloved dramas haven't been able to do it?

In this drama, you'll find an oddly impressive chemistry between the leads. You'll find a phenomenal delivery of acting and emotions by our leads, supported by a strong secondary cast. You'll grow a fondness for that extended cast of characters. You'll find yourself not feeling concerned about the questionable plot because everything around it works in symbiosis to make you feel comfortable. You won't find a beyond-the-top makeover scene that's supposed to impress you, because this drama is so good that it doesn't rely on it or the other common, tacky romcom plot devices. You won't find an edgy, over-the-top, poignant statement so obscure that everyone will point it out and dissect it. This drama is straight and direct, genuinely warm and cozy, and pulls no punches to play with the logic you've grown used to in dramaland.

Most importantly, you won't feel a tinge of regret or sadness after completing 32/32 episodes--you'll just want to watch it again.

I am not yet done watching the drama, but I am already wondering as early as now as to why this didn't get enough attention in Korea. The drama is actually one of the best I have watched this year. I actually enjoyed this drama and its structure is really similar to Strong Woman:

1.) Very unusual plot (Except the plot here is a lot better and unique as compared to Strong Woman)
2.) Solid cast chemistry
3.) Laugh-generating show
4.) No real plot twist (So the rewatch value does not suffer)
5.) Feel-Good-Turned-Tear-Jerking-RomCom

Strong Woman gained so much attention and love from both Korea and internationally, so I was wondering why this show wasn't well received in Korea (cause it is adored by many internationally). I honestly thought that Yo Seung ho - Chae Soo Bin would look bad, and never had I been more wrong. Their chemistry was so good that I actually want them to date in real life now.

A lot could have been still improved in this drama, mainly the OST and the plot. But overall, it's a show that has been greatly underappreciated by many

I am glad that out of all these good reviews about this drama a few reviews matches what i experienced. I don't know what went wrong with this one but i just didn't feel their chemistry and it felt too predictable after she stopped acting to be a robot. The side characters story wasn't that engaging , i just couldn't care less what they did. The story was stretched in the 2nd half. It started to feel a little dumb after sometime. And it was so predictable. I know everyone finds this cute and fluffy but it just felt like a chore to finish this one. So i wouldn't recommend it if someone likes to watch dramas with good plot and interesting characters.

Yo Seung Ho acting here is absolutely incredible: he is capable to transform a superficial story to a real human tragedy. And somehow, although, the story seems an absurd, you can feel every main character's emotional impulse. It's really something when a guy who has to play a rich man with an unique allergy to the people and an affection to a robot girl, makes you feel it as a real thing. Only because of his acting it was worth to watch it and even to rewatch it. So, the story is more than ridiculous but the Yo Seung Ho's acting lifts it to a much higher level, even to an existential drama. But what can I say about the drama itself? Well, it's aesthetically beautiful and emotionally pleasant but other details are really superficial. However, the acting... ;D
