Are You Human Too


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.

Almost non human that look. 


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.

New arrival

I have delivered a healthy baby boy! Currently am dealing with all the new stuffs associated with new mother, breastfeeding woes, sleepless night, murderous tendencies at 3am towards little one. So a bit late in updating. In short, I gave birth to this little bundle of cuteness at 5.37pm on the 3rd of August 2012 on my 38th weeks. Unexpected ( somewhat ) delivery ni, as I have to be induced and later gave birth to him via c-section. EDD 14th Aug, and sepatutnye also I was suppose to be induce today instead last week, tapi mende nak jadi. As long as semua selamat. Anyhow will update more later. In cat news, Bobby kena stay at the vet due to lung infection. :( Sedihhh. Hope he gets better soon. Tak tahu how it happened, but it does and hope kucing lain tak kena.

From Ampang to JB: A Foodies Journey

Somewhere at a gerai in Ampang Jaya   Laksa Sarawak.  Decent. I prefer the Hadeeja Cafe one though.  Mee kolo. V. nice.  Better than the one at Hadeeja Cafe, though I tasted better at Sarawak of course. Somewhere at Kampung Melayu Majidee, JB.   My favorite stall of ABC. Pic quality kinda sucks here, but hey, it was dark and I used a cameraphone.   Yong taufu sup that is filled full with kangkung (I googled kangkung, and it is stated as water spinach in English. Really ar?) Oh, the picture does not look much, but this is the best yong taufu sup ever. The soup is especially super tasty and their sauce just bring the right combination of spiciness in the soup. And I completely forgot to look again at which road this shop is situated in. I know how to get there but not its name. The yong taufu above I ate alll by myself. Nyam2. Didn't ordered otak-otak though because was too full. Somewhere in Angsana, JB.   The famed Mee Rebus Haji Wahid.  If its a holiday, there is a l
