The Plot (without spoilers):
“I Am Not a Robot” tells a story about a rich and arrogant young shareholder of a company named Kim Min Kyu (Yoo Seung Ho) and an intelligent but poor girl names Jo Ji Ah (Chae Soo Bin).
Kim Min Kyu doesn’t care anything in life because he has everything he wanted except lovelife and family. He has a secret and weird illness. He is allergic to human contact. His human interactions are limited to his doctor, butler and CEO of his company and also his childhood best friend, Hwang Yoo Chul. He prefer his robotic possessions like vacuum cleaner as his daily companions rather than humans.
Jo Ji Ah or President Jo is the opposite of Kim Min Kyu. She’s striving hard to succeed and hope she makes an invention that will be useful for people.
My short and honest plot:
When I thought it was another chaebol Kdrama but it was not. There is a sci-fi, comedy and little drama in the storyline so we are truly served with the best “feels” while watching.
