[Review] I’m not a Robot

Comedy, Romance

There is a professor, who is an expert in creating robot, has created a human robot with the face of his ex-girlfriend. Due to lack of fund, he proposed his robot to the director of KM Finance, Kim Min Kyu. He is the largest shareholder of KM Finance. He is rich. Min Kyu has a weird disease which is allergy to human contact. Even doctor also has no idea how to cure him. Whenever his allergy (can caused him to die) arise, he has to take injection given by the doctor. Since he was young, his parent died in a car accident. He lived all alone in a mansion. During the funeral of his parents, he discovered that his uncle’s motive is not easy. He wanted him to sign on a contract, Min Kyu refused after receiving a card from madam X who helped him secretly.

When the professor proposed this human robot to him, he was really excited about it. He wanted to test the robot at his home. The deal between the professor and him allowed the laboratory team to stay at his home. Before sending the robot to Min Kyu’s house, the robot was having a short circuit. They are unable to replace the circuit board for the robot. Thus, the professor has no choice but to look for his ex to pretend to be the robot. Jo Ji-Ah was unemployed and always being scolded by her brother due to her unemployment. She always wanted to start entrepreneurship to invent useful stuff for those who are in need of them. Her idea has been banned by her brother, however she did not give up. She joined a competition for entrepreneurship. She looked for the director as she wanted to propose her idea to him. She found out that Min Kyu was the director of KM Finance. Ji- Ah also acted as an agent to help Min Kyu bought limited edition character for him. Due to the cover of the character has some stain on it, Min Kyu refused to pay Ji Ah. She was frustrated and accidentally dragged his necklace. Min Kyu asked Ji Ah to return back the necklace, but Ji Ah did not realise that she actually mistakenly taken his necklace. She returned it back to Min Kyu. When she pretended to be the robot, she never knew that she was sent to Min Kyu’s house. She started to get to know Min Kyu more deeply.

I find it weird that when Min Kyu touches Ji Ah, he does not have any allergy to her. I felt that it is due to his psychology. He thought Ji Ah is a robot, thus he doesn’t show any sign of allergy. If he aware that she is a human he definitely becomes allergic. He told his doctor about his condition and the doctor was surprised. The professor was frustrated due to the close relationship between Ji Ah ans Min Kyu. He decided to refuse the investment from Min Kyu. The Professor looked for new investors which create an opportunity for Min Kyu’s enemy. Min Kyu begged the professor and the team to stay as he knew that he could not be cured without the robot. The director also showed the professor about his symptom that he really need a robot in his life. They were touched and the professor decided to change his mind and continue to stay with the condition that Min Kyu cannot touch the robot. Min Kyu was so happy that his disease has been cured with the present of robot. Thus, he decided to go for a date with his first love by bringing along robot. Ji Ah was so hurt to see him having a date with his first love. However, their first date did not go well. End of the day, Ji Ah kissed Min Kyu. However, the next day, he was furious towards the robot because he felt that it is abnormal for him to fall in love with robot. He spoke rudely to the robot and wished that the robot can be a human. Ji Ah also wished to confess that she is a human but she couldn’t. One day, Min Kyu bought Ji Ah beautiful blouse and bag and brought her to a high-end restaurant. Ji Ah thought that Min Kyu tried to be nice to her, but she was disappointed to find out that he dined with his girlfriend and her father. He even proposed to her for engagement. He realised that all the while the birthday postcard sent to him wasn’t from girlfriend but from her father. He was too disappointed with that. The professor tried to get back his Ji Ah. He realised the reason for break-up with Ji Ah. He fixed the Aji 3 as quickly as possible in order to let the robot replace Ji Ah.

Min Kyu once compliment the inventor who invented a special umbrella that he has been using now. Whenever he used the umbrella, he thinks of the robot. Ji ah was so happy that her hard work has been noticed by him. She joined an entrepreneurship competition and now she was in a final round with the idea that producing 2 lamps-heart.  During the entrepreneurship competition, the director attended the event. At first, he was quite disappointed when none of the people approached her booth. Due to her father encouragement, she was able to sell her product and that’s attracted many supporters. Min Kyu too also attracted with the product and that’s reminded him of his robot. Min Kyu was so upset when he has to reset his robot in order to delete all the data input between him and the robot. He told his problem to the professor and consulted doctor about his issue. After the event, Ji Ah went to see a doctor to ask about human allergy issue. The doctor suspected something a missed. The doctor went to the laboratory of the professor and found out about the issue. He was so furious that their actions that might cause Min Kyu’s death. On the other hand, the doctor also thanked them for curing his disease. There is also another successful case with the same disease has been cured in oversea that for those patients who are allergy with human, they are cured by having someone that they trusted the most. The doctor advised them to tell Min Kyu the truth that Ji Ah is not a robot. While they in a mist of telling the truth, the doctor received a call from the oversea patient who has been dead due to allergy shock after knowing his girlfriend cheated her. The doctor quickly informed Ji Ah about the issue and warned them not to tell the truth. Ji Ah has no choice but to follow what the doctor said. Ji Ah decided to leave Min Kyu’ house to lessen further hurt for Min Kyu. After saying goodbye to him, both Ji Ah and Min Kyu were heart broken and upset. Min Kyu cannot forget Ji Ah and so did Ji Ah miss Min Kyu.

She decided to go to Geojo island and later went to Australia for working holidays. While she was on the trip to Geojo island, Min Kyu also boarded the same train as her and sat face to face to one another. Min Kyu was so surprised that he saw someone with the face as the robot did. He then followed her to where she worked and stayed. He tried to talk to her but Ji Ah tried to avoid him at any cost. As he kept looking for Ji Ah, he finally found out that Ji Ah is a human. He was so disappointed, angry and upset. His allergic came back again. Luckily, he still survived. However, he was unable to forgive the professor and his team, his assistance as well as Ji Ah. Another shocking news came along which is the CEO instructed someone to hack their computer in order to steal document from professor. The CEO found out that regarding the rare disease the director has. They threatened the professor to hang over Aji 3 to them as an exchange for releasing the news of director and dismissing the director from his position. The professor agreed with that exchange. Ji Ah tried to be nice with Min Kyu, but he acted rudely to her. She cooked and brought food for him by covering everything. Min Kyu although he was rude to her, he missed her too.
