My Holo Love (2020)

Dès qu'il est en vente j'en commande un, parce que cet hologramme.... Mmmmm !

En un mot, je me suis régalée !!!
Le format court évite les habituels retours en arrière, atermoiements et autres étirement de l’histoire jusqu’à son ramollissement complet. L’histoire, à bien y regarder, n’a d’original que l’arrivée d’une AI aussi performante que séduisante qui réveille un peu l’habituel triangle amoureux. Autrement on retrouve les habituels ressorts familiaux (orphelinat, adoption, syndrome de l’abandon etc etc…)
A cela vient s’ajouter un méchant vraiment très méchant, un vrai salopard qu’on aimerait piétiner, et rien de tel qu’un bon méchant pour faire une bonne histoire ! La belle idée du scénario montrant à la fois Holo et Nan Do sous les mêmes (très agréables à regarder) traits de Yoon Hyun Min permet de mieux comprendre la personnalité cachée de ce fantôme au demeurant fort peu aimable !
Il y a tout ce qu’il faut de romance (pas ridicule) de suspense(pas trop téléphoné) d’humour et d’émotion (pas feinte, on voudrait ne jamais perdre Holo de vue !) pour que la mayonnaise prenne parfaitement, et encore une fois, si les Coréens comprennent que les histoires interminaaaables c’est dépassé, on va pouvoir avancer ! « My Holo love » est un drama Netflix, c’est peut-être pour ça !
La bande son est très sympa, même pour moi !
Les acteurs : ils sont très très bien dans leurs personnages. Bien sûr la palme au double rôle de Yoon Hyun Min (qui devrait changer de maquilleuse, mais c’est une autre histoire…) qui est parfait tout autant en charmant hologramme qu’en fantôme épineux. Mais c’est un acteur déjà croisé dans des rôles autres que le héros romantique qui épouse l’héroïne à la fin, et il s’en était fort bien tiré. Dans Beating again, par exemple, ou Heartless city…

C’est léger, frais, pas bête (on évoque même en passant les dangers que pourrait apporter une IA trop …intelligente ! ) et je le recommande chaleureusement !

«My Holo Love» n’a que 12 épisodes, ce qui a parfaitement convenu à l’histoire. Il n’y avait pas vraiment de longueurs inutiles, au contraire, j’avais toujours envie de voir plus, et je ne voyais pas le temps passer lors de mon visionnement ! Oui, l’histoire est bourrée de clichés, je ne vais pas mentir, et pourtant, j’ai adoré ! Des personnages intéressants, une (ou plus ?) romance mignonne, ce drama m’a fait sourire, et bien rire ! Et pourtant, l’histoire est également sérieuse et prenante. J’ai vraiment adoré, et je le recommande avec plaisir !

Drama sympathique et attachant

Changement complet d’univers pour moi avec l’immersion d’un futur possible et la création d’un assistant numérique.
Et bien en fait pourquoi pas? L’idée de base est bonne et on se laisse finalement embarquer par l’histoire.
Très vite la réalité se mélangent au numérique, et du coup il y a comme une sorte de moral à ces créations qui pourraient exister un jour dans toutes les maisons.
La romance est simple, pas très développée, mais fraîche. Les histoires qui se superposent les unes aux autres sont plutôt bien ficelées.
De plus, ce drama comporte 12 épisodes, ce qui en fait un plutôt « court ».

Une jolie surprise, même si ce n’est pas le drama qui m’a le plus marqué ces derniers mois.

Wasn't sure how it would be, as I couldn't find much information. But I waited patiently for the release, and watched it all in one day.

The story is one that fits my ideal show. I love when it's not your average normal romance, there has to be something different. The difference was having one actor playing two characters. One a hologram, one a human. The story was cute. It has only 12 episodes unlike the usual 16 or 32 but it did not feel short or rushed, it was well paced and you don't really feel bored waiting for the next moment.

The two leads were cute together. The chemistry between them I felt was believable. I enjoyed seeing how someone who has facial blindness interacted with A.I. It was interesting how A.I could really help someone who has these sorts of disabilities. Technology is a main part of this, and we saw how it can be used for good or evil.

The story itself was unique, others may say it would be unbelievable and cliche, especially with the facial blindness trope we always see, but it felt different. The story had good mystery to it and it was hard to predict how it would end.

One bonus is, there really isn't any usual second lead syndrome in this one. Usually k-dramas always have to have another guy, but since the main actor is the two male characters, you can actually feel content with the ending and not feel like a guy has just been thrown off to the side.

All in all, I think it could be worth a try if you enjoy plot lines that aren't the usual lives we live day to day. It isn't a show that everyone will love, but it definitely one I recommend and definitely will watch again when I need a good sci-fi romance fix.

I wasn't expecting much from ''My Holo Love'' but the drama was quite a nice surprise. Even with his cliche plot, it is somewhat unique and different. And, to be frank, very addicting which makes it perfect for binge-watching!

I like how fast paced the drama is, or at least the first half. When I watched the first two first episodes, I wasn't really into it but as I continued watching I began loving it. Each episode ends with a cliffhanger and it makes you want to watch more. I still wasn't the biggest fan of the last few episodes -- I think some things could have been resolved without getting too dramatic which could have prevented the drama dragging out too much. Well, 12 episodes are not too many and I think they would have been perfect for the drama if they focused more on some things and avoid others.

I wanted to see more romantic scenes between Nan Do and So Yun. Yeah, you probably think I'm a romance enthusiast and I watch dramas only for the romance, but no, it's not like that. But with a drama that has a mediocre plot, the romance should be there to save the day. I really loved Nan Do and So Yun's chemistry, as well as Holo and So Yun's. I'm glad that they made ''both'' main leads likeable even though they were completely opposite. The second couple was also very cute and I enjoy watching their scenes. I wanted to see more interactions between Nan Do and Holo too, I loved their conversations.

The ending was satisfying for sure, especially the last scene! It was very cute and it made me glad that I watched the drama.

The acting was quite decent. I like Hyun Min and he did a good job with portraying two characters, but he can do better for sure. Go Sung Hee was amazing as Han So Yun, I believe this role perfectly suits her.

So overall, ''My Holo Love'' is a nice drama and I recommend it if you want to kill time. It's perfect for binge-watching as I already said, it's cliche but it's well-done -- with good CGI, decent acting, some cute romantic scenes and amazing OSTs.

I had such a hard time rating this drama, and I still don't know how I feel. I've always believed that good characters can carry a weak plot, and the characters in My Holo Love were amazing, but I still can't get over how... messy...? the story was.

I didn't think I was going to like this because I'm wary of sci-fi, I wasn't the biggest fan of the lead actress (notice the past tense), prosopagnosia is the new amnesia and it's annoying (and wouldn't you know it? mhl had both!), and the plot sounded weird, but despite these hesitations I was hooked within the first five minutes. (Note: I've also been a big fan of Yoon Hyun Min since Tunnel, and his real-person character shown in the trailer is what eventually pushed me to watch.)

I was really surprised and super moved by how emotionally complex the story was, and the psychology and emotional weight behind the creation of Holo, and by extension the relationship between Nan Do, Holo, and So Yeon. I think it was around episode three? (the park scene for those of you who have seen it already) that really got me emotionally invested in the characters... which is why I am having such a hard time rating the drama.

I saw someone on tumblr joke about how My Holo Love had every trope in the book: childhood trauma, childhood acquaintances, prosopagnosia, amnesia, accidental kiss, cpr kiss, secret/mistaken identity, love triangle, grumpy/closed off/rich male lead, and still this list goes on. All of it plus your typical action that comes from a dangerous bad guy doing illegal stuff to steal a product. But there were still times the plot felt slow. And there were times when the plot was hard to follow, most of which occurred because of technical computer lingo that I don't understand and it was hard to follow how certain things happened and how characters came to certain conclusions, etc. But there were also times the non-techy parts were hard to follow. Mainly the death of Nan Do's mom when he was a kid, I have some nit-picky unrealistic complaints about that whole scenario, but I don't want to include spoilers so.... I can't tell if the drama only being 12 episodes made the messy plot worse by seeming rushed or condensed or if it saved the drama from dragging on.

But at the same time, while all of the plot was ridiculous, the actors and the characters played it off really well. Like if I were to try to explain this drama to someone else I would sound insane, but actually watching it wasn't that bad? I seriously loved the characters so much that it's really hard to find a good rating. So basically what I did was compare my enjoyment level and critique of the plot to other dramas I have rated. This falls pretty close in line to Flower Boy Next Door for me, so I decided on a 7.5.

First of all this was an exceptional technology series. It is really interesting to watch and had some amazing insight into how many people communicate or choose to communicate today. For me, this somewhat exposed how dependent people are on technology and how we often connect more with technology than we do with other people. Being lonely, creating your own world and friends is what society has become.

It was very symbolic and heartfelt. I enjoyed the upbeat moments and the internal conflicts that were exposed and conquered. A bit thought provoking.

What I did not like about this series was the female leads behavior. Although the series was about artificial intelligence and I do know this is TV, I still found it quite strange that there were parts of this series where it seemed like the female lead cared more for a computer than another human. That just didn’t sit well with me and it just seemed irrational and weird.

I finished it through to the end. It was good, sweet and a good pace. The history of the characters came together well. The plot was consistent and the pace stayed true. If you’re into technology, robotics and artificial intelligence you’ll enjoy this.

I so long looking for story line where male lead has secret and pretend to be (just like in healer,city hunter, Fall in love with me, Are you human too..) .
Drama has romance mystery , future technologies, has everything.
Male lead is so hot and with female lead are so cute.
I like he pretend to be neighbor and holo so funny and cute (when he straight his hair i dyieng of laught¨)
I like Gong Nan Do more than holo and Iam so happy because female lead choose him and love him from episode 3( even though she thought she loved holo)
Story has amazing watch it
(sorry for my english)

Honestly, I feel like MyHoloLove is such an underrated K-drama. It was just one of the ones I consider very entertaining. MyHoloLove was one of the first K-dramas I watched, but I would recommend you to watch it. At first, it seemed like I wouldn't enjoy it, but in my opinion, it just gets better and better.

Another good thing about this K-drama that is different from most dramas is that there are always love triangles, but in this series, it's impossible to get second lead syndrome by the way everything is portrayed from the plot.

I absolutely loved the soundtrack, I think it really fits with the series. It wasn't the most memorable, but it especially fits with all of the scenes that were shown. The acting was phenomenal. All the actors did such a good job portraying their characters which I think is very important in a series. Some parts made me emotional because you get so attached to characters.

The series starts off slow from the beginning, but by the end of the first episode, it catches your interest to keep watching more. For me, I am very interested in a Sci-fi or Romance type of series and this series would be one of the ones I would recommend if you are into that type of stuff.

Okay first things first, you have to watch this drama it is awesome.
That having said I should start to explain so more details. I saw the trailer for this show about a week ago and even tough there are a lot of other dramas, wich I am currently watching, I felt, that I needed to watch this one as soon as possible. And I was right.

The story develops with a constant speed but always focused on keeping the viewer, so that everyone understands what exactly is going on. At first I was a bit worried about having the same actor playing the two male lead characters. But the way he does and how the special effects in this drama support this is awesome. I have to admit that I couldn't really decide which male lead character I should ship with the female lead character, because they were both way too cute. A huge shoutout to Yoon Hyun-min for portraying this two characters.
Personally I really liked the scenes in wich the two male leads were talking to each other (I mean just think about the huge amount of editing and acting, having one actor in one role shouting at himself, while the other role stands right in front of him being calm, like nothings happening).
The female lead character is really adorable and thankfully not one of those "is getting dangerous you need to protect me"- characters as she faces a lot of trouble by herself.

Okay maybe I should tell you something about the actual plot:
It all starts out with this fancy glasses, which create an holographic KI being introduced by an (IT) company. Of course having such a futuristic objet makes a lot of enemies. So what can be done? Of course (like in every good drama) involving innocent people in this mess and create an even greater one.

I think, I have said enough so - you need to watch it. :))

I feel like "My Holo Love" showed up completely out of nowhere in my Netflix recommendations, and I honestly wasn't going to watch it, but I'm so glad it did. I have watched so many Human falls for AI dramas before (like I'm Not a Robot and Are You Human Too?) and I just expected this to be more of the same. Even though this drama is definitely full of clichés (car crashes, facial blindness, repressed memories, convenient coincidences, narrow escapes) this story is definitely unique and so easy to binge-watch. 12 episodes felt like the perfect length, and I easily and eagerly finished this entire drama in a weekend. I think it really is a great story, with a not too heavyhanded message about human connections that I really appreciate. This theme also isn't unique, but these characters and their journey certainly are.

Obviously, the person in this cast deserving of the most praise is Yoon Hyun Min in the dual role of the lone tech genius Nan Do and the ultimate supportive ai hologram Holo. He really made them feel like two completely different characters and I completely sympathized with both of them. Sometimes scenes with actors talking to themselves can feel cheesy but Nan Do and Holo's scenes always felt very realistic. He is matched with Go Sung Hee as the socially awkward Han So Yun who was also so good and easy to sympathize with. They definitely have great chemistry, and this drama certainly centers around romance, but I like that there are also themes about self-acceptance and supportive friendships that are just as strong. This certainly isn't the first drama about a robot/ai/hologram that directly or indirectly teaches humans how to connect with each other but that doesn't stop this from being a memorable story with great characters.

The supporting cast is great, and I loved that some of the bad guys were sympathetic and some of the good guys weren't always likable. The duality of some of the main supporting characters made them way more interesting and realistic and helped to make the story less predictable. However, there is one character who stayed pretty much one-note, Nam Myung Ryul as the ruthless and moralless Baek Nam Gyu, but he was just so good at being evil that it worked well. The story is definitely over the top in some ways and melodramatic at some points but I still think that it all comes across as completely plausible because the cast is so good.

Would I watch this again? Yup. I'm glad all of the episodes were released at once because it was fun just watching them without interruption. It's also the kind of story that I would enjoy watching again even if I already know how the story ends, especially because of So Yun, Holo, and Nan Do. It also is well told, and concise without much filler, so the episodes feel like they breeze by, while still providing the right amount of action, butterflies, and feels, and a very satisfying ending.

Overall, It kinda reminded me of a long Korean "Black Mirror" episode, but I felt much more emotionally invested. In many ways it's a look at how disconnected we have become due to the convenience of technology and the value of true human connections. I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated, I felt inspired. If you ever felt shy, insecure, emotionally guarded, or distrusting of humans in general, I think these characters will resonate at least a little. From the beginning to the very end (and I really loved the ending) this story is well told and had me hooked, which made me forgive any flaws in the logic, possible plot holes, or extra cheesy moments. This is a great sci-fi romance, and although it doesn't quite match some of my current favorites, it comes very close because it's so much fun to watch. It's certainly worth watching just to see Yoon Hyun Min be a second lead ina triangle with himself (impressive), and the pretty imaginative special effects. If you're looking for a drama that's binge-tastic you found one! I think if you give it a chance you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was. This drama has a more than meets the eye quality that I appreciated, and that's not necessarily a Holo glasses nod, but if the glasses fit... watch it ; )

Not knowing what to rate this, I decided to write down my thoughts and see where my final verdict lies.

I can't deny that I liked the first two episodes of this and I could relate to the female lead's struggles. There were plenty of cute moments of So Yeon and Holo and I liked seeing a friendship kind of bond between the two.

Where this started to get flat was with episode 4. I just didn't understand how Nan Do suddenly came up with the conclusion that he liked So Yeon. Perhaps, I was hoping he came to that realisation a bit later on, maybe episode 5? The moments when So Yeon was in denial and thought she's in love with Holo.

Honestly, I blame the way the story was presented.... it felt messy.

If we were to ignore the messy story and the ridiculousness of the plot, I can still say that this was a decent watch. The characters are interesting, you have some comical moments, some fluff and it does raise some questions about today's world.
