![]() She is President Jo and he ordered a limited edition robot from her. ![]() They both meet for the first time as client and vendor in episode 1. We can’t really say that Ji-ah and Min-kyu were off to a good start. This helps him, in turn, to open up his heart to somebody very close to him.īut for now, let’s stay with our main couple. But it turns out, in understanding her, he understands as well that they won’t make a good pairing. This done, he wanted to rebuild his and Ji-ah’s relationship. He had hoped to understand why they broke up in building a very human-like robot and communicating with it. This was also the main motivation for him to make the robot, Aji3, that he has built with his Santa Maria Team to look exactly like Ji-ah. So even if Ji-ah is over her ex-boyfriend Hong Baek-Gyun (Uhm Ki-Joon) since a long time, he hasn’t found closure and still hopes he can get back together with her. It is also Min-kyu’s allergy against humans upon touching a human he’ll have horrible skin break-outs and difficulties to breath not the best condition to enter a relationship, I’d say.īut falling in love can sometimes also mean to - and especially in K-Dramaland - to get rid of your (clingy – fortunately not in this drama’s case) ex-lover. But not only Ri-el’s non-interest in him hinders this relationship from happening. ![]() This is especially true for Min-kyu who dreams of a relationship with his first love Ye Ri-El (Hwang Seung-Un) - who in turn is in love with Min-kyu’s opponent Hwang Yoo-Cheol (Kang Ki-Young). Ji-ah & Min-kyu: a love story in 5 actsįalling in love, often means also falling out of your (first) love. Most of the main characters pass through this café at least once in the drama. In reality, this is an amusement park named after the bears that are the main attraction of the park.Įqually important is Jo Ji-Ah’s (Chae Soo-Bin) best friend’s Sun-hye (Lee Min-ji) café ‘Summer Snow’ – in reality The Dalda Cafe - where important conversations take part and Ji-ah finds refuge. Of course, there is Kim Min-Kyu’s mansion. So let’s raise the curtains and introduce the main filming locations.Īnd of course, as a theater piece deserves it, I’ll do this in stages and acts. In such, I’m Not A Robot is also bending drama-tropes and especially the dominant narrative trope of mean, wrist-grabbing chaebols and clunky candies that need to be saved à la Boys Over Flowers or The Heirs. He supports the people around him to get the best out of them instead of making them follow his rule. He still believes in the good sides of people, helps them out and also reaches out. Also, living in his ‘tower’ for 15 years and having been betrayed by his best friend and the father of that friend, he would have had all reasons to become mean and spiteful. And, once rescued, he doesn’t rely on the heroine. It is he that needs to be rescued and not him that will rescue a plucky heroine. But he is also, like Rapunzel in her tower, trapped in this house because of his human allergy. Yes, Kim Min-Kyu (Yoo Seung-Ho) is a awesomely rich. A story that had a clear gender bending bend. This gave space for the characters to develop and for the actors to shine in I’m Not A Robot (로봇이 아니야) (MBC, 2017-18).Īnd it gave space to the storyline. I loved, loved this show that came to us like an intimate theater piece. ![]()
