(This review is an emotional robot-loving mess! You've been warned!)

Ah man! Ah man, ah man, ah man! I'm so sad this is over!

When I started watching the first episode, it only took about 10 minutes and I knew this would become one of my all-time favorite dramas.

Initially, I put this drama on my watch list because of my love, Lee Joon Hyuk. Surprisingly, I had never seen a drama with Seo Kang Joon before. But the I started "I'll Go To You, When The Weather Is Nice", which is currently airing, and instantly fell in love with with him. I wish I was kidding. But I literally saw his first scene and was like "Oh shit". But by then, only three episodes of IGTYWTWIN (wow, never using that acronym again) had been released and I literally could not stand to wait a week until I would see Seo Kang Joon again. I needed more RIGHT THEN AND THERE. So I started watching "Are You Human, Too?", remembering that Lee Joon Hyuk is in it, too. So, basically, my two ultimate crushes in one drama.

I'm not sure why I wrote all of that down because I guess no one cares. But anyways, I adore these two men!

AYHT had me feel every possible human emotion. I laughed, screamed, squealed, cried and got angry. The first 16 or something episodes I binged like a maniac, screaming into my pillow. Then human Nam Shin came back and several times I had to force myself to watch the next episode - not because it stopped being good but because I was so scared of what might happen to Nam Shin III.

Seo Kang Joon is absolutely brilliant in this double role. While playing a jerk is something done well by many actors, I've never seen anyone play a robot as brilliantly as he does. The movement of his head! The expressions on his face! The look in his eyes!! God, he is so gooood!

And lets face it: Nam Shin III is the ultimate boyfriend material! He embodies everything good in men, without the creepy aspects. Since he doesn't have any sexual desire, he never objectives her in the slightest. Now, so far, that is just like an asexual man. But it's not just a lack of sexual desire, it is also the fact that having been built in a lab (and by a woman), he didn't grow up in a misogynistic world, where he would've gotten indoctrinated with ideas of toxic masculinity and superiority. His creator is a woman (does that mean his God is a woman?), his mother is a woman, the first person he ever met is a woman. The first person who treated him like a human is a woman. His first friend is a woman. He adores women. All he wants to do is protect her and be close to her. I feel like I got off track here...

Basically, I'm saying robots are better humans and I need me a robot boyfriend like yesterday.

I've really lost track of what I was gonna say, now. Hmm..

I died when he befriended the roomba - purest thing ever! I never thought I would squeal because of a roomba.

The cast apart from Seo Kang Joon and Lee Joon Hyuk were great, too. Somehow, Gong Seung Yeon has never been on my radar. But damn she is amazing! I need to watch more dramas with her. Kim Sung Ryung is a great actress but damn, do I despise her in evil mom roles since "You're Beautiful". Do you know how I realized it was her? THAT VOICE! I would recognize that voice anywhere. She really gets under my skin because of these roles.

I've also been playing the OST non-stop! Especially "Heart" from 2BIC. Such a great, emotional song.

Basically, this drama emotionally destroyed me over and over again. I loved seeing this innocent robot discovering what it means to be human! And the very last frame, when a tear rolls down his cheek, was absolutely soul-crushingly perfect.

((When your rant about a fictional robot makes you realize you might truly be asexual...))
