Você é Humano Também? (2018)

Wonderful watch

I really enjoyed this series. It's a very interesting plot that makes you contemplate what it means to be human and at what point would you start seeing/treating AI as such. Also what place they could possibly hold in society.

Thsi was also my first introduction into Seo Kang Joon. He played Nam Shin 3 with such innocense and heart that you really start to feel for him, even though he is 'just' an AI robot.

First I was worried for the ending, because K-drama's usually have 'realistic' ending where regular westerns shows mostly have a romantic ending. It was realistic, but still enough to satisfy the romantic in me. Absolutely worth a (re)watch.

This is PEEEERFECT let me tell you why...

I may be exaggerating but this drama deserve a spot in my top 5 kdrama list of all time!!

STORY- Yes I love the plot/storyline. At first I really wondered how this will work out between a robot and human and some may find it weird and criticize the series before they even watch after reading the synopsis and would even hope for the real Human Nam Shin to end up with So Bong and will be left disappointed. However, this series will prove them wrong, because who would hate an adorable robot like Nam Shin III, right? The cast didn't overact and I love how every characters in the story played their part. Especially Ye Na I sooo much appreciate her, she contributed a lot in the movie where she would do everything to help Nam Shin even though he doesn't love her ( which I hoped for them two to end up together but it will be weird to have the a boyfriend with the same face as Nam Shin III)

ACTING- Hats Off to all cast for their superb acting, Korea has a standard in acting and so does here in Philippines and almost all characters in korea are really versatile even cameos are doing a goodjob. Though I still see some korean actors/actresses that is a little bit over when it comes to their acting capabilities once in a while, would stare too much and is really unrealistic I would cringe. In this series Seung Yeon and Kang Joon really have a good chemistry here and I love how Kang Joon did a good Job portraying the Robot Nam Shin.

MUSIC- Yes of course, i love their OST 'Is it love'. I already have it on loop hahahhaha

REWATCH- Don't me hahaha I watched this THRICEEE! I can even tell you the details of each episode here :D

THIS IS A MUST WATCH!

Pour qu'un homme soit parfait, il faut qu'ils soit une A.I...

Avec un scénario complètement barré, et parfois vraiment écrit avec les pieds, je me suis pourtant trouvée scotchée devant mon écran durant les 18 épisodes du drama! Pourquoi ??? Parce que les acteurs ont vraiment donné vie à cette histoire improbable, et particulièrement Seo Kang Joon, vraiment parfait dans un double rôle assez piégeux !
Le scénario est bâclé au niveau de la logique des déplacements, de l’enchaînement des évènements, on se dit souvent « comment il est arrivé là ? » ou « d’où il a sorti cette moto, avec casque et équipements ? » ou «  Qui a tout nettoyé, et comment ? » On sent que le scénariste n’en a strictement rien à faire, de ce côté technique de l’histoire, car son seul intérêt, c’est d’abord la personnalité du robot, qui va évoluer, se former et s’affirmer au fil de ce qu’on lui demande de faire, de qui il rencontre sans jamais perdre de vue qu’il ne sera jamais humain, comme il le dit : je comprends les émotions mais je ne les ressens pas.
Ensuite, c’est l’affrontement de l’AI et de l’humain qui lui a servi de modèle. Là, c’est très intéressant de voir l’effet de cette rencontre à la fois sur une personnalité qu’une enfance difficile a rendue instable, en quête de reconnaissance, et sur son double parfait qui va acquérir aussi maturité et capacité de jugement au fil des évènements.
Ce face-face est le vrai cœur du drama, soutenu par des intrigues de palais dans la société, et par la romance entre Nam Shin III et Kang So Bong, sa garde du corps. Cette romance échappe au ridicule grâce au caractère bien trempé de So Bong, et au soin qu’ont pris les scénaristes de ne jamais laisser oublier que le robot n’éprouve pas de sentiments. Il ne peut être amoureux, mais il devient capable de ressentir qu’une personne est là pour lui et l’aide, et le connaît tel qu’il est. C’est cette prise de conscience qui servira de base à la relation avec So Bong,se renforçant de plus en plus.
Il y a quelques sommets dans la première partie, avant la confrontation des deux, comme l’incendie, ou l’accident de la voiture autonome… La seconde partie est plus psychologique, mais pour moi la plus intéressante.
Toute l’histoire est aussi sous-tendue par le thème : l’AI peut-elle donner des robot avec une telle possibilité d’évolution et d’adaptation qu’ils en deviendraient presque humains ? Et alors où s’arrêterait le fait d’être humain ? Bon, le robot, ici, donne une image hyper positive de l’AI ! On pourrait réécrire l’histoire est le faisant devenir un danger car c’est toujours une machine, et tout dépend de qui et comment on l’utilise ! Nam Shin III va peu à peu se créer une morale, en plus de l’éthique que lui a donnée sa créatrice, la loi d’Isaac Asimov : « ne pas nuire aux humains ».
Je reviens sur Seo Kang Joon, il est parfait ! En passant, compliments aux maquilleurs et aux techniciens du numérique qui réussissent à faire oublier quelques instant qu’il n’y a qu’un acteur ! Le travail sur le visage du robot est parfait, modifiant juste ce qu’il faut l’aspect de la peau. Le recours au numérique donne un éclat particulier aux yeux de Seo Kang Joon, accentuant leur couleur brun clair (la même que celle des yeux de So Bong, d’ailleurs, c’est amusant !) et l’acteur ajoute son talent donnant les expressions différentes(le sourire, le port de la tête, …)
Autre personnage très intéressant et même intrigant : Ji Young Moon, l’assistant de Shin, celui qui prenait les coups à sa place, celui qui le sort des mauvais pas. Il y a plus qu’une relation amicale entre eux, par moment j’ai pensé qu’il y avait de l’amour du côté de Young Hoon. D’ailleurs il refuse toujours de définir sa relation quand Shin III lui pose la question… j’aurais bien aimé qu’il y réponde, car ça aurait rajouté un plus au drama, au niveau de la psychologie des personnages s’il y avait eu là un autre amour sens unique… L’acteur Lee Joon Hyuk, que j’avais repéré dans les 2 Stranger, est vraiment très bien, tout en maîtrise avec par moment, des fêlures mélancoliques …

parlons de la fin ! Eh bien je l’aurais préférée moins guimauve, parce qu’enfin ! C’est un robot ! Alors que le scénariste insiste bien tout du long sur cet aspect, là ça finit sur le classique « je reste avec toi pour la vie » et quand même il y a des aspects de la vie qu’un robot ne peut pas assumer (les enfants, par exemple..) Il y aurait eu une fin plus belle sans les 10 dernières minutes, que So Bong ait une chance de garder un merveilleux souvenir, puis de vivre une vraie vie de femme !
Malgré tout j’ai eu du plaisir à cette dernière scène, et aux quelques phrases échangées entre le père de Shin III, le vrai Shin et Jin Young Hoon qui laissent entrevoir un avenir meilleur pour les trois…
Oui, c’est contradictoire, mais c’est comme ça ! ^_^
J’ai vu que Seo Kang Joon chante une chanson dans le drama, j’ai voulu écouter et le moins que je puisse dire c’est qu’il vaut mieux qu’il soit acteur le plus possible ! ^_^

Au total un drama qui nous saisit et nous emporte en nous faisant oublier tous les défauts de scénarios par la grâce des yeux d’or de Seo Kang Joon !

A ride more rollicking dan I imagined !!

DRAMATIC & FANTASTICLY executed kdrama wid human-robo romance !! Abt a robot wid a "heart" as he experiences life & grows into a "human." Seeing him as he longs 2 b accepted 4 wat he is,was so touching to watch.
INTRESTING PLOT ==TIN-CAN COUPLE==ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ==LOVE OF A MOTHER==OST==CHINGU

//VERDICT// Not gonna lie; I was a little sad 2 get 2 de end of dis show as I found myself having a pretty good time. To me, best of all was the fact that show understood its main appeal & remembered 2 keep on giving Namshin opportunities 2 keep on growing more & more independent & human-like & time 2 demonstrate dat he does have feelings, even if it’s against his operating system.

P.S Seo Kang Joon is absolutely fantastic in this, demonstrating acting chops dat I never knew he had. Show is worth the watch just to see him in action.

« Are You Human Too ? » est un drama que j’ai beaucoup apprécié, malgré ses points faibles. Une histoire de base unique, intéressante, avec le côté robotique qui ajoute sa touche d’originalité, avec des acteurs doués, surtout Seo Kang Joon, l’acteur principal qui a su performer à merveille dans ses rôles, autant celui d’humain, que dans sa version robot. Ce drama se concentre davantage sur les personnages. Il y a des points faibles, (...) mais les points forts (le talent de Seo Kang Joon dans ces deux rôles si différents) et la romance si belle et mignonne qui ne manque pas de faire sourire, font de « Are You Human Too ? » un drama que je recommande avec plaisir !

I want that robot

I absolutely loved this drama, every episode. All of them... but the last two. The ending is forced. Illogical things happen and almost random events allow the plot to move forward. A bit 'a mess, in short. So my note and my review go from ep 1 to ep 17 beginning. The summary is: this robot is drop dead gorgeous. I was also passionate about the plot. The relationship between the robot and the girl is adorable and the chemistry between the two is sparkling. The evolution of the humanity of the robot is told really well. Unfortunately, there are a few X-rated issues that remain unexplained and that make me question the success of their eternal love, but whatever, let's pretend everything is perfect there too. Besides, they are so cute!

The Feels

Idk how I ended up here, but I'm so glad I did! Anyway, if you can get past the "I'm a human who loves a robot" theme this is actually an amazing drama. In classic K-Drama style, there's fluffy romance and plenty of plot twists that all come crashing down in the juiciest way! If you don't wanna upper cut the MC into another dimension through 99.9% of this drama you're definitely a robot lol Seo Kang Joon/Nam Shin does the split personality vibe flawlessly, which made this series an even bigger emotional roller coaster slam packed with high blood pressure and family issues lmao
Highly recommend if you want something romantic with even amounts of chaos
100/10 for the ending
Enjoy...

In my opinion

The plot was very nice, I found the plot fresh and unique. I cannot say the acting was believable but sometimes a bit too much. The main actor pulled off the two characters very well and the actress who play the main's actor mom shone for the minor screentime she got. The show's effects were very cringey too me and I sometimes found myself laughing at the way the male lead tried to pull off the effects. The love line seemed a bit unnatural, I mean it is between a robot and a human but that's not the unusual part the buildup of the love line seemed a little bit flaccid. I had a bit of a struggle watching this drama, but others may think otherwise. Overall, you can watch this show if you please, it's just now worthy of a rewatch though.

Plot + Review

Plot: The drama tells the story of an android called Nam Shin III who must pretend to be the son of a rich family when the real Nam Shin falls into a coma. — Nam Shin's mother, Oh Ro Ra, is a genius on brain technology and artificial intelligence so when her son, the real Nam Shin, is taken away from her at a young age, in her grief she creates an android that looks exactly like her son and has it grow up in the place of Nam Shin. But when Nam Shin, who is a third generation heir to PK group, gets in an accident and is comatose, the android Nam Shin III must learn how to take his place. The android pretends to be Nam Shin and he has a bodyguard named So-Bong, who he falls in love with. Kang So-bong was a member of Nam Shin's security detail until she was dismissed in disgrace. She was also a former MMA fighter who had to quit due to an injury from competition. Later, she becomes Nam Shin III's bodyguard, determined to get to the bottom of his strange comments and behavior. However, she gets more than what she'd bargained for when she starts falling for him - and has to keep him safe from the very people who'd tried to murder Nam Shin.

Review: I loved this drama, it was amazing. The acting, casting, endroid, and everything else. It was really cool to watch. It was never boring, I really enjoyed watching it. I love the end of the drama. I was really sad when Nam Shin 3 got shot instead of the real Nam Shin and fell in the sea. But then Nam Shin did everything he could do to find Nam Shin 3. And eventually they find him.

Awesome show, adorable cast, with minor quibbles at the end

What a great show. I was sucked in immediately: this is exciting, funny yet also heartfelt from the outset. The characters pop off the screen and get you engaged right away. The greatest strength of this show is the complexity of its characters and relationships. As far fetched as the premise and plot can get, and the show doesn't even bother getting into the nitty gritty details of how the science would work, there is a core of psychological authenticity to how the characters interact.

Nam Shin III is the most adorable marshmallow of a character ever, and I loved how the FL was won over by him and was able to open her heart after the adversity she had dealt with earlier in life. Watching them grow together and fall in love was so sweet, I swooned hard. The typical evil chaebol shenanigans were well executed. Supporting characters were also rich and layered.

I thought this could be a 10/10 but it slightly fumbled the bag in the last 10 minutes of the last episode (Human Shin has a random two minute redemption arc? Nope, don't buy it. Evil Henchman is totally chill in prison after his 30 years of evil schemes amount to nothing, nope, that's not how that would go. Why wasn't the FL informed that the ML was being repaired, everyone just let her mourn for a year wtf?). Minor quibbles though, this show was awesome.

An Interesting Concept Turned Questionable

I decided to watch this drama because it dealt with the A.I. topic which is currently relevant in 2023. It doesn't exactly hold up in certain technological aspects which led to some plot holes, but it had some charming points.

The Highs:
For a drama that dealt with the theme of the inherent good/evil of humanity, the robot main character Nam Shim III provides many wholesome and hopeful moments. I had a good time watching his scenes in how he interacted with people. It was also an interesting contrast to how we only had the perspective of seeing the human Nam Shin slowly lose his hope in the humans around him, the humans that are supposed to be his family.

The Lows:
I mentioned that the theme is about humanity's inherent good/evil which is an okay concept in itself. However, my problem was that they used way too many characters to show humanity's inherent evils. Most of the human characters did things that made them unlikable from the beginning. For example, in episode 1 the female lead Kang So Bong got betrayed by her so-called best friend who then had the audacity to act like So Bong's sister by acting like she's also close to So Bong's father throughout the rest of the series. If anyone acted like that in real life, most people would cut that person out but they somehow stayed friends.

The Buffalo:
Nam Shin's backstory with Young Hoon reminded me of a BL I saw about a chaebol who care more than usual about his personal assistant.

What I liked:

+ the freaking story is so different and unconventional from the usual k-dramas. We have had mermaids, aliens, time-travellers, vampires and now the next big thing are robots! I really like how they're touching on the genre of inter-species romance, as it is something that is quite taboo and not always taken seriously.

+ it's unpredictable. I swear (so far at ep 28), every freaking episode has never stopped surprising me.

+ the acting is phenomenal namely by Seo Kang-Joon, playing two completely different roles & he delivers it very realistically.

+ character development is amazing! you can see how the characters learn and grow throughout the series.

+ the music matches with the atmosphere and context of the drama/scene. I personally love their OST by Lim Ji Eun called 'The Longing Dance'; it gives me shivers by just listening to it!

What I disliked:

- the political/power struggle scenes is a little boring (for me personally) to watch, but is equally important to be able to understand what is going on
- some of the characters may annoy the crap out of you but you either see them develop/change or they remain that way, either way it's some really good acting
- it may drag at the beginning but the story does pick up its' pace as you keep going

All in all, like it or not, I would say give it a chance. Although right now I have no idea how the show will end, but I think it's still worth a shot :) x
