"Decent" - that's the first word that comes to mind when anyone asks me how I found "AI Romantic".
At first, I was very reluctant to watch the Drama because it seemed very Ali Lee-centric. On top of that, you couldn't really expect an Oscar deserving performance from her, the leading actress, if her character is a robot. Her acting literally needs to be robotic for viewers to believe she is a robot!
It turned out that I was wrong. Screen time is distributed pretty evenly between Ah Bo and the family who took her in. Luk Wing is hilarious in this, and to be honest, I expected nothing less from him because he has already shown in the past he is not only a pretty good comic, but also a decent actor. Similarly Mayanne is very funny and amazing as his sister and Ah Bo's other master.
The Promo-Poster was very misleading and again, it put me off watching the drama. I thought the storyline would be really silly and have too many unfunny jokes. I was surprised that AI Romantic is actually quite a serious and creative TV series. It explores serious themes such as the dangers of Man playing God, the pursuit of freedom, and the boundlessness of love.
Given the extremely high number of bad dramas in 2021, this drama shone a positive light on TVB. Given the lack of competition from other actresses this year, Ali Lee really should have won Best Actress at the Anniversary Awards for her performance. It's a shame that the voting was rigged; there's no way whatshername deserved to win Best Actress for her performance in "Battle of the Seven Sisters". See my review of that drama here also. TVB even invited Shaun's celeb father to the awards because they knew beforehand that Shaun would win Best Actor! If that's not a sign the anniversary awards are rigged, then I don't know what is.
Tyson also deserves a shout out because he was by far the best "robot" in the series, even better than Ah Bo. He is a seriously underrated actor - should have won best supporting actor for his spectacular performance in this. I really felt sorry for his character when it said it was programmed to sacrifice itself for humans. Tyson is always able to give his characters the sense that they have a layered personality.
I don't recall an opening or closing theme song but the music was ok. The only other bad thing I would say about the series is I heard that AI Romantic is based off a film, so the director worked on both projects. It makes sense to me though because the storyline felt far more suitable for a film than a TV series.
