Let's start with the good: the concept was interesting and original, and the CGI and graphics looked absolutely stunning! The special effects could rival those in a big budget movie, they really do look that good. The acting was decent, and parts of the story line were good as well, particularly the development of an advanced AI and the effects it would have on people as well as business and government. This also has a cute and happy ending for those who like that.
Now for the bad: I hated the romance. It was awful. It felt forced, heavy-handed, and nonsensical. There was really no reason for the main couple to fall in love. (Episode 7, 8, and 9 were incredibly irritating and frustrating to watch). I felt like the concept of the AI looking identical to the creator actually worked against the love story line, and it was so immature for the leading lady to "fall in love" with the AI, who was always perfect and did everything for her happiness. He was sweet and devoted and way far away from being human. Also she fell in love with the AI in like a week? It felt so forced, and the actors did their best but it felt forced too. I actually really liked the older sister and the son of the rival boss as a couple WAY more than I liked the lead couple. I will admit that towards the end of the series the love story felt less awful and I warmed up to them as a couple, but to be honest it still felt a little flat. I wish the love story line wasn't included, because I feel like this show could have been great.
This was a similar concept to I Am Not A Robot, except that show blew this one away in every way, especially the romance! If you feel disappointed after watching this check I Am Not A Robot out, you will definitely like it better!
Overall my 5 stars were mostly for the cool CGI and the side characters. Also So-Yeon's mom was the best! I wish there had been more scenes with her!
