Everyone in the comments section is raving about YSH

@sakura2016 Haha thank you. I guess I beat the experts- analysis / investigators who give in depth analysis of the BTS/ pics/ gifs or whatever you fill in the blank. My amazing contribution was even mentioned in dramabeans by the beanies LOL. I must have surely made a big impression on some of them . I'm a certified netizen FBI agent

It's sad to hear he got hurt as a child by adults , he has already mentioned this in some of his past interviews. I hope he gets one day a very good movie offer that'd push him to accept it without any hesitation. The best would be a movie with some box office hitmakers names attached to it because if he's the only star in the movie aka in the only who will bring in viewers, he will carry a huge burden on his shoulders. If he wants to leave his imprint in movieland and be active in chungmuro he should start by accepting and playing 2 nd lead roles or supporting roles, then little by little making his way to the top. He needs to have a few hits under his belt so that great scripts by great directors and writers will come to him afterwards. If he doesn't make hit movies or his movies fail at the box office, obviously the good offers won't go to him because his name and reputation are going to be affected.

yeah I saw it and was happy Yoo Seung Ho was one of the 3 she liked their outfit hhhhhhh and how all were commenting how handome he is and missed him already!!

hhhhhhhhhh you are indeed chingu!! and I knew it was you they mentioned in dramabeans the moment I read the comments!!

being a child actor wasn't that easy after all but he grew to become this great man!!

I hope so as well and I'm sure Yoo Seung Ho is one of the actors who would be totally fine with taking a second lead role as long as he finds it challenging for him!! from what I remember I read he was the one who asked to take Yeo Woon's role in Warrior Baek Dong Soo drama when he was offered the male lead's role finding it more benefitting to him as an actor...ok I found it “Yoo Seung-ho decided that as an actor, the villainous Yeo-woon role would be a big help in expanding his acting range, which is why he chose to take it.” http://www.dramabeans.com/2011/04/yoo-seung-ho-gets-villainous-for-warrior-baek-dong-soo/ so I have no doubt that he'd take in a good offered role to him even if he's not to be the 1st lead!! lets hope he gets great challenging roles that lifts his confidence in taking in movies like he regained his confidence in his acting ability as a male lead outside of child actor image (as if that was questionable to begin with) through Ruler!!

My dad is really eager to start watching Remember because he’s interested in the plot too, but my mom found KMK so charming she doesn’t want to let go of IANAR yet so I don’t know what they’ll decide to do first Lol.

I can't wait to know what your father will think of him after watching Remember!! I'm sure he'll become his n°1 fan!!

Yoo Seung Ho joked, “Maybe it was because it had been a while since I wore my uniform, but it was hard. Even wearing it made me frustrated and angry.”

https://www.soompi.com/2018/02/02/yoo-seung-ho-talks-wearing-military-uniform-im-not-robot/

Awww why did he feel angry ? for what reason ?

@justlove your dad is going to become his number one fan after watching remember , IMO Remember is his best work. Remember had plotholes too but they were not huge like IANAR's. And the acting of the cast was on another level, there were no acting holes. The excellent acting could make us ignore the plot holes. And YSH really shined. The story was sad, thrilling and captivating

@Berou hhhhhh and he confirmed it himself: it's his uniform only changed the name tag!! great jo chingu!!

wonder why he was frustrated and angry?!! is it because it's his own uniform which brought all its/his memories of that time and he wanted it to stay solely part of his personel/private life?!! but somehow I feel that if Yoo Seung Ho didn't really serve his military service he wouldn't have filmed that scene!! I feel it that way at least!!

he's the reason for my suffering there so totally agree with you!! he was there!!

@justlove I'm really glad to hear that your parents love YSH. Like @Berou said YSH has a wide range of fans. Like you my parents also a big fans of YSH (I had mentioned it before here). After IANAR end my father kind of missing YSH and luckily our cable channel re-run Remember and my father and mom watch it again (I caught him crying yesterday while watching the scene where Jin Woo cried for his dead father). He is going further with taking hearing aid prescription which he always refuse so that he can hear the drama clearly (It took me years to convince him to use hearing aid. He is 74 yo). My parents and I fall in love with his acting ability and then with his personality. He is indeed a rare gem. My partner who is Korean now has to be extra patience because not only me who love YSH but also my parents. They even think YSH as their grandson becoz based on age he can be my son .

Reading his recent interview, I cant help but admiring him more. He has his own believes and I'm really happy he keeps it and not influenced by common practice in the industry. I'm happy he satisfied with IANAR. He proves himself as a versatile actor and for me IANAR is one of his best project beside Remember. And of course the famous kissing scene .

I just want him to be happy and satisfy with everything he did/does and hope we can see a news about his new project in few moths.

awwwwww that's so sweet!! poor your partner though!! ...so your parents watched IANAR with you?!! that would have been great fun!!

yeah me too!! I feel so proud of him and keep falling for him more and more seeing the kind of actor and person he is who's not giving compromises to follow what's common practice and win more swooning fans the easier way but winning his fans through his great talent while holding on to his principles which is admirable!!

same wish!!

more inteterview parts translated!! cr: yooseungho_world

still you grow well Yoo Seung Ho-ssi!!

hhhhhhhhhhh I was thinking about that whenever I saw his scenes with the actor Kim Min Kyu!!

owwww I can guess how intimidating it can be to take in a new movie project especially that his last 2 didn't do well!! let's hope he gets offered a great movie offer that makes him surpass that fear and take it for the challenge it will offer him as an actor!! Yoo Seung Ho Fighting!!

@justlove LMAO his shyness kills me every time. IANAR supposed to have a bed scene and he refused ??? It makes me admire him even more. This resonatse with his first scene in IANAR, I think it wasn't precised in the script he should wear a tank top but he did it because he isuncomfortable doing fanservice scenes. I just love how he follows his principles and doesn't bend over when he's asked to do some fanservice scenes such as shirtless scenes or bed scenes. You can ask him to do " adult kissing" and kiss with passion his partner but he will always refuse to do bed scenes or shirtless scenes. There is a line drew by him and he will not cross over that line any time soon.

Has your mom watched Remember ? Make them watch Remember . I guess your dad needs a little of time to become his fan. Sadly in korea ratings DO matter when it comes to awards. So it's almost sure YSH and the cast won't receive any acting award.

@justlove's father is actually a fan wanting Yoo Seung Ho to win awards and watching IANAR that's not his genre of dramas ...@justlove now your mother can rewatch IANAR with your father then Remember as you said he's planning to watch it!!

@Berou he can win popularity award for IANAR!! though really I want him to win real acting awards not (only) popularity ones!!

"10/10 because it's my idea" love coy and playful Yoo Seung Ho!! and yes he's not the kind to follow fanservice scenes (shirtless scenes or bed scenes) which I'm so happy and proud of him for!! he follows his own rules and principles and makes those working with him respect his rules as well!!

Yups I saw Hoktal. He was a farmer in Kim Seondal. It was just for few seconds but I saw his face clearly because he had few lines. Kekeke!

I already joined the petition for YSH PH fanmeet but sad to say the output is too low. They are targeting 3,000 petitioners but we only have 320 more or less. I know that this project is far from becoming reality as of this time but who knows when Ruler and IANAR starts to air here. There is no harm in trying right!??. I will definitely attend his fanmeet if ever there is in the future. Still can't move on from IANAR and have been rewatching 2 to 3 episodes everyday.

Btw, I saw a shared IG post at IANAR thread and roughly ( as per google trans ) it says that the IG owner was able to interview YSH. I really hope that this is true!

and now he got to really act with Yoo Seung Ho!! hhhhhhh

it's good enough for now!! I'm sure in the future the fans number will increase enough to have him have a fan meeing there!!

he did!!

Same here, he has mentioned a few times since last year he wants to do a villain. He has mentioned it this time too. So can I hope to see him playing a villain ? i've always wanted him to play again a villain

If he does, he is going to slay it haha. I just want him to play a villain so he'll get maybe a break out performance. As a matter of a fact I know many actors got popular after playing a villain : Nam Gong min in Remember, Kim Jae Wook in the Voice, Uhm Ki Joon in the defendant and the ghost, Shin Sung Rok in my love from another star, Choi Tae Joon in Missing 9 and many more. Since Remember Nam Gong Min is flying high and gets offers for male lead roles, before it he was relegated in doing supporting/ 2nd lead roles.

I really hope he takes on a great villain role and I'm sure he'll be phnemoninal but I need to prepare my heart for it or my consciences if I ever end up rooting for him instead of hating him you know!!

and he did an interview!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WANTING TO "BRAG" ABOUT THE DRAMA YOO SEUNG HO-SSI!! I'm so happy that seeing how much IANAR is loved overseas made him (and the entire team) see past the low rating and was a sorce of strength for him (them)!! and it helped him see that he did a great job as an actor regardless of the rating which is what he's looking for not the numbers!! thank you so much @Berou @justlove for the interviews!! he looks sooooooooo handsome and happy (may he always be)!!

Good morning everyone!

Wow good job @justlove!

Just finished watching Kim Seondal and it was so fun. Cried a little bit but I was laughing most of the time. Hoktal had a cameo in Kim Seondal but they have no scene together. Remember next. Hahaha

Our group here at work rooting for YSH is getting bigger too. We've been talking about how good he is as an actor yesterday.

really?!! Hoktal was there?!! I didn't remember seeing him before while watching IANAR!! hhhhhhhh

awwwwww so happy to know he's gaining more fans!! thank you so much chingu!!

You’re welcome chingu! At first I laughed a lot because I didn’t think my dad would ever end up watching because if he’d watch a drama series, it’s either a Filipino or U.S. show. But the fact that he was so impressed by YSH, he decided to watch a kdrama with my mom for the first time in a long time, I was so happy!

Yes I’ll keep everyone updated! Actually one of my friends decided to start watching today, she’s on episode 3, and she’s enjoying it so far!

Yeah I didn’t think I’d cry that early! I’m hoping I don’t cry too much in this show I love watching the moments between Jong Hyun and Bok Gil! It’s too adorable

that's Yoo Seung Ho's power!! hihihihi I'm so happy!!

well crying here won't be like in Remember and IANAR at least!! hhhhhhh

Quote

Good evening from my side of the world! I'm just waiting till I can put my votes in for today, then I'll head to sleep.

If you start watching Remember this weekend, you might start the same time as my dad! He plans on starting it too because he got really curious with YSH’s acting skills. So I told him about Remember and he’s like isn’t that the show where you cried so much every night and I was like yes I showed him the trailers and he’s interested in watching. So he’ll devote an hour or two a night to watch after finishing IANAR. My mom plans on rewatching with him because she enjoyed the series so much. I kind of want to join them, but I don’t think my heart’s ready for a rewatch yet

waaaaaaaaaaa you can see me jumping and clapping of happiness now!! that's great news!! can't wait to know what he thinks of him there!!

I saw this!! sadly I'm not in philippine but I hope all Yoo Seung Ho's philippine fans get to join this petition and have Yoo Seung Ho to have a fan meeting or signing event there!!

I laughed so hard because my dad did end up watching with my mom! She's a long time kdrama fan, and he's not. I'm pretty sure the last kdrama he watched with her was City Hunter. My mom was telling me he was about to sleep in another room, but she was on the reset scene. And as they watched it, he said wow. This guy is a really good actor. I can feel all his emotions, all his pain. And that's how my dad ended up watching IANAR too They're starting episode 23 later, and my mom keeps telling me YSH was way too adorable in eps 21 and 22 at the restaurant. YSH, what have you done to my parents?!

I did let my friends know! They're okay with crying a few episodes so they'll start watching IANAR this weekend!

Yes. Indeed a lovely connection with him!

I just finished watching Imaginary Cat's first two episodes, and can I just say that it is too adorable! I did tear up a bit in episode 2 with what happened with Jong Hyun's friend, but other than that, I like the show so far and I recognize all the actors in the show beside YSH! (does that mean I've watched too many kdramas? )

This is too cute for my heart to handle.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'M SO HAPPY!! The Power Of Yoo Seung Ho!! I'm lost of words!! ahhhhhhhhh but really as happy I get seeing Yoo Seung Ho wining more fans and being praised for his great talent as he deserve, I feel waaaaaaay happier when his new fans are actually parents or grandparents or better dads or males since these categories (at least in my knowledge) aren't usually big fans of (k)dramas and male actors fanbase is mostely of females so having fathers and males to actually be grabed and admire Yoo Seung Ho's acting talent is a big deal to me at least!! so thank you so much chingu!!

good to know!! keep us updated about their opinion as well!!

hhhhhhh see?!! you started already?!! let's see how much you'll cry by the end!! but you get to see aaaaaaaaaaall this adorableness and cuteness so you'll be fine!! ...hhhhhh yeah I feel the same way now recognising many actors even those doing cameos unlike me around 5/7 years ago!!

my heartouuuuuuuuuuu thank you for the gifs!! so adorable!!

Review

K-Drama Review: “I’m Not A Robot” Glides Dazzling Romance That Is One-of-a-Kind

By abbyinhallyuland | January 28, 2018

I’m Not A Robot skids to a bizarre love tale that gets better with each story chapter!

I’m not a Robot communicates how the heart believes what the situation tries to conceal. It affirms how reciprocated love is felt even if it is not vocally declared.

Spoiler

Title: I’m not a Robot
Distributor: MBC
Theme: Romantic Comedy
Length: 32 Episodes (Back-to-Back)
Airing Date: 06 Dec 2017 – 25 Jan 2018
Cast: Yoo Seung Ho, Chae Soo Bin, Uhm Ki Joon
Overall Rating:
Re-watch Value:
Plus Factors: Endearing Love Story, Witty Humor, Bubbly Main Cast
Oh No Moment: Bland Side Conflict

Arguably a collective favorite of rom-com followers from 2017 tail-end K-dramas, I’m Not A Robot is a happy and easy watch with graspable direction and endearing romance on the side.

Pacing to an interesting love milieu, the story of a man who stumbled on the peculiar cure for his extreme human allergy, confronts the reality of how his newfound liberty to interact with people, comes with the price of admitting that he is in love with a robot. To complicate his situation, he learns that his reservations are pointless since the supposed android he can’t love, is actually a woman, who is commissioned to pretend that she is not a human.

Spoiler

Highlights

Tailor Made For Romance Cravers

I’m not a Robot adorably captures familiar romantic elements, which audience can surely relate to. The smooth and quirky first half of the story focuses on the lead man’s newfound world of emotions he obtained from the android introduced to his life.

Yoo Seung Ho, as a love struck chaebol, is the best visualization of BTS’ “Boy in Love” hit single. When the plot shifts to incorporate the betrayal related complication, the love couple renders a heartfelt confrontation scene. From then, they acknowledge their love for each other without lies and inhibitions.

Running on heart flutters and bliss theme, the PD did a great job of capturing momentous sweet scenes for the main couple. He chose picturesque locations to fit the mood of setting. On that note, I would also like to say how the kiss scenes are pocketed so well in the story.

Yoo Seung Ho

From his bag with emotional drama scene expertise, Yoo Seung Ho has had me at his command on those why-did-you-lie-to-me frames as well as those omg-am-I-in-love-with-a robot soliloquies.

Considered to be an effective drama actor, his switch to a light role raises another “oppa cult following”. His role as a man, who secludes himself to human interaction, delights the viewers when he reaches his bewildering love predicament.

Bright Character Sketching

The cast as a whole, even the unnecessary small roles, helps the refreshing simplicity of the narrative. Team Santa Maria and cafe-owner-relationship-guru assist in the humor inserted in the narrative. Chae Soo Bin, who plays dual roles, contributes to the quirks and sentiments of the chronicle. The apparent downplaying of the villains’ wickedness meter influences the focus on the romantic journey of the story.

Drawback

Awkward Supporting Conflict

The intention to resolve the hero’s battle on his position to the company is hinted to come true even on the early goings of I’m Not A Robot. But, it feels like an awkward puzzle piece, because of how the love narrative is creatively imagined. Thankfully, it does not drag that long or it would have marred the beautiful times captured in the narrative.

Spoiler

Plot Summary

Kim Min Kyu (Yoo Seung Ho) suffers from extreme human allergy. He lives his life with as little human interaction as possible. A robot, Aji 3, developed from his company’s funding is introduced to him, and he grows easily attached to it. He also realizes that whenever Aji 3 is beside him, his allergy does not happen. What he isn’t aware is the robot that he is interacting with is really a human. The actual robot needs to be fixed, so the lead developer finds his ex-girlfriend Jo Ji Ah (Chae Soo Bin) to help, who is the character model of Aji 3. With Min Kyu confronting his emotions with the robot, Ji Ah realizes that she has the same feelings. A charming tale of trust, betrayal and forgiveness, I’m not a Robot will warm your heart with its sunny demeanor and cute love story.

Spoiler

Recommendation

I’m not a Robot is easy to love due to its quick pacing and endearing cast. Less the corporate world related conflict attached to the hero’s character, everything in the drama sails smoothly.

If you like saccharine stories, this drama is perfect for you. It notches well the bullet points of addictive romantic comedy. Light and sassy… sweet and steady.
