📺 Korean Tv Series Review: Are You Human? (너도 인간이니)

After the suspicious suicide of her husband, robotic engineer Laura Oh has her only son Nam Shin held away from her by his possessive grandfather and has no choice but to fly to Czech Republic...but the absence of her son is so overwhelming that she decides to build a robot in his likeness, naming him AI NamShin.

20 years (and 3 versions of the robot) later, the real Nam Shin finally manages to reach for his mum but is a victim of a hit-and-run accident, that leaves him unconscious. 
While waiting for human Nam Sin to wake up from the coma, Dr.Oh and Nam Sin's assistant and best friend Ji Young-Hoon decide to send AI NamShin3 to Seoul, in order to protect Nam Shin's place at his grandfather's company.

Once in South Korea, NamShin3 has to deal with all the scheming and plotting internal to the company and will find some help in Nam Shin's former bodyguard, who's the first to question the way too sudden changes in Nam Shin's behaviors.

My Opinion👍👎
Besides the robot and maybe one or two, all characters are selfish, cruel, and don't hesitate to harm people who might come their way...some booster for faith in humanity, eh?!

Whether or not being into the romance part of the drama, what I found interesting were the different approaches to the robot: being so realistic and similar to a human, NamShin3 fooled everybody at first so reactions went all spectrum from surprise to rage.

I found Seo Kang-Joon's acting skills really good, since he manages to successfully portray both a human and a robot.
Even if I liked the series, I rated it 4/5 because the finale left me a bit confused, as it was way too simple and I'd had preferred some more clues on how the protagonists' lives were going to proceed...

Ranking: 4/5

FUN FACT: if Nam Shin's house looks familiar is because it was also in "Cinderella and the Four Knights" and has been used as a photo shoot set in the first and second episodes of "Man To Man"
