Nam Shin / Android Nam Shin III
Nam Shin
He is the grandson of the president of PK Group, a major conglomerate of Korea. He seems like a typical spoiled rich guy, notorious for his foul mouth and power trips. In truth, he acts that way not because he has no consideration for others, but because he is a pathetic and lonely guy inside. His harsh grandfather always emphasized that being the best and the strongest is the only thing that matters, using all kinds of threats and provocations on the way. His heart grew numb as he was raised as a successor of PK Group, not as a loved grandchild. He wants to break free in order to live a decent life. He doesn't care about the inheritance. In fact, he's determined to abandon his title, which only acted as chains that separated him from his loved ones. He always thought that being kicked out for being a fool is the minimum courtesy that he can show his grandfather, so he's been pretending to be a jerk. He finally manages to escape from the heartless world of PK and goes to the Czech Republic to meet his long-awaited mother. But he encounters something hard to believe. Who is this guy that looks exactly like him? What is happening to him?
Android Nam Shin III
He's got the good looks, intelligence, strength, and discipline. He champions the weak against the strong, and courtesy and kindness are ingrained in his nature. His only weakness is that he is actually not a human being. He is the latest model of the "AI Robot Nam Shin Series", which was made by Dr. Oh Ro Ra, a top-notch authority on neuroscience and artificial intelligence. She missed her long-lost son Nam Shin so much that she ended up creating an AI incarnation of him! At his mother's earnest request, he goes to Korea to live among unfamiliar human beings. Countless virtual reality training and help from Nam Shin's right-hand man, Ji Young Hoon, make it look like he is all set to impersonate Nam Shin, but when he actually encounters humans for the first time, it's way harder than he expected! Where are all the good and trustworthy people that his mother had told him about? According to principles of ethics, you're not supposed to lie, but a friend today becomes an enemy tomorrow, and deceit seems to be an everyday thing to humans. And what is this thing called emotion that makes people laugh and cry? It's too complicated for him to analyze. In particular, what confuses him the most is a woman named Kang So Bong, who claims to be his loyal bodyguard. Will Nam Shin Ⅲ be able to complete the "Human Nam Shin Impersonation Project" successfully without anyone discovering that he's an AI robot?
