A story of an android developed by Dr Oh who missed his son ( the enigmatic Seo Kang Joon) who was taken away from her.
The android was asked to impersonate his son who were involved in an accident and got into a coma. A personal bodyguard (Gong Seung Yeon) was also hired to guard the son/android.
Review.
An interesting premise exploring relationships between humans and robots/AI.
Goddamn I had wrote a long ass review and blogger didn't save it. I wanna cry.
I will now wrote a short review because nobody is paying for this content.
Storywise?
Almost great, almost had it if not for the motives of several characters.
Romancewise?
Setup nicely and almost organically even for a human and non human romance. The leads have great chemistry.
Acting wise?
Gong Seung Yeon was good as usual. Not her best drama though. Seo Kang Joon is a revelation. I will now be in a lookout for him. He manage to play 2 different characters while playacting as another character convincingly, subtly and effectively. Everything from the tone of his voice, facial expressions and body posture are being done amazingly well. I am now a fan.

Did it stumble and fall?
Typical of kdramas where it always start off strong and then become tepid or just incredibly bad towards the end. This drama is the norm, where it started out strong then became a tad bit erratic but manage to pull back in the last few eps. But the last eps was wrapped up too quickly. It is not bad though, but it could be better.
IMPORTANT ASPECT OF KDRAMA ESSENCE :
BOYFRIEND LEVEL:
OFF THE CHARTS. 9.9/10 . 0.1 off for not being an actual human.
HEROINE AWESOMENESS:
6/10 . Start out strong then becomes tepid towards the end. Such a disservice to an initial strong character.
SECOND LEAD GAME:
N/A .
VILLAINERY:
5/10. Too moustache twirly sometimes and few characters motives are vague and annoying and unnecessary. The weakest part of this drama tbh.
CHEESINESS:
Cheesy all around but leads pulled it off.
Final Verdict...
Recommended?
Yes if you can get past human and machine romance.
