[Drama 2017-2018] I am not a Robot, 로봇이 아니

[Amulya Kolusu]

Regarding Madam X, I think she's just some loyal ex-employee of MG's dad just like Butler, after the demise of MG's parents it looks like she indirectly and Butler directly took care of MG as afterall a kid cannot single-handedly take care of himself, I think their characters explanation scene got cut out due to time constraint. 

 

I keep lurking around ep 31, don't want to watch yet as once I do it would mean the show is really over tho its a different matter that I did watch already through livestreaming. 

 

I hope Kdrama gods bless us with another rom-com this good asap.

 

@stroppyse you seem to have gotten addicted to translating, I just hope it isn't as serious as Hanyang's.

I thought that was the best way to sum up my feelings about it. IANAR does not have earth-shattering moments, grandiose plot elements or big budget set pieces going for it. It's not a piece of grade A5 Wagyu steak served with caviar, but a simple bowl of ramen in winter with all the ingredients in perfect proportion and harmony, which makes it a work of beauty and passion.

 

My mini review is my way of saying goodbye to this rare drama and closing that particular door. I'm sure I will be reopening it when I get my wife to binge watch it soon enough, and I'll be there with her watching it all over again. 

 

EDIT: I'm listening to the OST on repeat while working now (yes I'm at work while typing all this stuff, lucky for me I'm sort of the boss around here  , so yeah)

Listen to OST is a post-drama syndrome ,me too keep listening and sneak out of time in office watched their cute BTS .. too bad i'm only a slave here   your write up was so beautiful sir .. hehe  Happy PSD chingu .. i will watched finale tonight and rewatched from Ep. 1 this weekend. Thanks Astro PVR .. my life saver

With MBC’s “I Am Not a Robot” coming to an end on January 25, Yoo Seung Ho, Chae Soo Bin, and Uhm Ki Joon gave their final thoughts on the drama.

“I Am Not a Robot” was a romantic comedy that told the story of a man who has an allergy to humans and a woman who has to pretend to be a robot. The drama ended with high praise for the actors and viewers enjoyed the sweet story that unfolded.

Yoo Seung Ho called the drama, “A heartwarming drama that warmed everyone up this cold winter,” and said, “As this was my first time being in a romantic comedy, I worried a lot about my character and how I should portray him, and I think that has helped me grow and learn a lot as an actor. The time I spent as Min Kyu will remain with me for a long time as happy and meaningful memories. I was happy to have the honor of working with such a great director and crew, and I also want to thank the actors who worked alongside me. Finally, I want to thank all our viewers who gave us their unwavering love and support.”

Chae Soo Bin also opened up about her experience and said, “I was happy to have played a part in creating this heartwarming drama. ‘I Am Not a Robot’ has been a new experience for me. It’s the first time that I played two roles simultaneously, and the first time I played a robot. Though I was worried about taking on such a role for the first time, I was able to enjoy my time on set thanks to everyone around me. Most of all, I gained a lot of strength from our viewers who supported us, and we were able to wrap up the drama on a high. I hope this drama will remain a warm memory in the hearts of people who stayed with us till the end.”

Uhm Ki Joon talked about his time on the drama and stated, “I had so much fun playing a role that wasn’t a bad guy for the first time in a while. It was a great experience. I hope to greet you again with another great project in the future. Till then, stay healthy and happy.”

I guess most of you are like me now,suffering the effects of post kdrama ending.One of the effects is replaying the OSTs over and over again.Here's some covers of the OSTs that I found on youtube.Looks like most of them are doing the covers of the 3rd and 4th OST.Of course there's more.So if you can't get enough of the OSTs,why not try listening to some covers instead of just the original

I love reading all these netizens' comments. IANAR is loved by Koreans actually. 

 

Just finish watching the last two episodes with Engsub. Aaaah this drama is amazing and the ending is SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL I CAAAAAANNNN'TTTT. This writer is everything! Gomawooo MBC, casts, crew, writernim and pdnim. And also for chingus here, you are daevvvvvaaaak! I need to backread now.

 

Things that need to be highlighted;

1. No proposal scene but Ji Ah wore the necklace! So subtle and heartwarming.

2. In the last scene in ep. 32, KMG got enlisted as his allergy is cured. Mirroring the very first scene in ep. 1. And it also turned out that he bought all Ji Ah's previous inventions. OMG! They are just destined from the start!

3. In the 2 years, everyone was doing a great job; not just waiting for KMG without doing nothing.

4. Ssanip finally got a girl! hahaha. He frequently spoke English and in the end he got an englishwoman. Aaah sooo delighting.

5. That scene of Sun Hye and Hoktal in the cinema.hahaha. with Ssanip throwing popcorn, really mirrors what KMG imagined before (the one with Ri El)

6. Ri El and Yoo Cheol finally got together! Omoooonaaa so happy.

7. Pi and BG finally got together as well and they both changed their hairdos hahaha.

8. Santa Maria Team came back with a new robot, a male one. They didn't show us the face but by showing only the back part, I am already happy. It is so subtle but really confirming that they are advanced in this robot industry.

9. YC's Dad in the jail. Yeep you deserved to be there.

10. The 'secret' mirrorring between MG and Dong Hyun. First, DH asked MG to keep secret about how they met. Then, MG asked DH to keep secret that JA was the woman he liked so much. So adorable!

11. We got a baby! So happy that they finally showed us the delivery scene of Hong Joo.

12. Jin Bae hyung and MG. Omooo they are so adorable when starting to call 'hyung' and 'Min Kyu'.

13. The ending scene while everyone was waiting inside (not shown but JA said it, so relieving) and JA was welcoming MG. That was a looooong kiss btw hahaha. I notice that the umbrella and bag were moving, so they mustn't have frozen it. I wonder how they did the filming. Salute them for staying in that cold night, with that pose, for such a long time as well.

14. MG looked at the family photo and said that he wanted to meet JA's appa. Aaaah so heartwarming.

15. The umbrella made an appearance again, now the blue one. It is also mirroring their first kiss. First kiss; JA said 'this time is when we must kiss' and JA pressed the button. The last kiss; MG did it all.

16. MG found and saw all the sketches of JA's invention, making him love JA more.

17. YC and the butler. Aaah so glad thatthe butler had a talk with him about their childhood.

18. YC and MG reunited. Finally after 15 years!

19. MG and YC Appa's convo in the jail. I love how MG said "you and my appa were separated as enemies, but YC and I are different." another mirroring. You're rocks, MG!

20. When Pi and BG were dating in that game zone, Pi said that the winner would pay for the movie and she would be the winner so she could pay for it. Pi also asked BG out first, so sunhye-like! I adore you more!

21. How cute it is that they celebrated Ssanip-the-only-one-who-wasnt-dating instead of the main casts? hahaha. This family is soo lovely. KMG, you really have got a family now!

22. In ep. 27, KMG touched the heartlamp while in the last ep., JA did it. Another mirroring! 

 

This drama IS LOVE! Everything about this drama is LOVEEEEEE! They really paid attention to every single detail! Indeed, IANAR is a warm drama to accompany you passing through this cold winter.

 

*sorry for listing them randomly, chingu.hehe

Good morning everyone!

 

The ending was very sweet. Can’t help grinning until the very end. It is so hard to let go KMK and Jia. Hoping for a collaboration of CSB and YSH again in the future. A romantic historical drama perhaps?!!

 

Thank you so much everyone for the live recaps, HD pictures and lovely gifs. I hope @Berou will allow me to camp at her other thread until YSH’s new project.

 

***back to re-watching the drama***

 

looks like many of us are hoping for their historical drama together!!

 

you're welcome, you're welcome!! we're happy to have more company there!!

I've read on the characters' description that apparently Butler Sung would only leave when KMK has a woman to take care of him in his stead? I haven't watched in full the last two episodes yet, but I don't think I've seen the Butler leave. Right now that MK has JA I bet he did. If that's not the case (and the character description is wrong), I would've still liked some more screen time of him with MK.

 

One of the things I wished they fleshed out a bit more was Butler Sung. I wanted to know who he is, why he is so dedicated to MK, how his relationship with MK's father was, if he really is Madam X. I would've wanted to see him become a father figure to MK, walk him down the aisle, etc. I had hoped to see MK discover everything about the Butler and for once, not feel betrayed but grateful. If only we have 4 more episodes....

 

yeah I remember that part of the character discription but I still hope he didn't really leave!! but even if he did retire I believe he'll keep visiting our boy who's like a son to him!!

 

can't they add 4 more episodes now?....

They are just so comfortable with each other, even having their own little jokes from the time when JA pretended to be AJ3 and thus going into "friend mode", the casual skinship, the teasing, the mock fights, the easy rapport, and the laughter. I think I could just be happy watching episodes 29,30 and 31,32 over and over again, and seeing JA and MG interact once they had confessed their feelings for each other. Seeing the two of them just gives me some warm fuzzies.

 

edit: *sigh* I still can't get used to 2 half episodes versus full 1 hour long episodes.  

 

I so loved this scene and how they went back to their old days when Ji Ah was believed to be Aji 3 but this time is more adorable because the truth is out and they are enjoying reliving those memories in a new light while being lovers and friends awwwww

 

hhhhhhhhh same with me!! don't know if I'll ever get used to it!!

 

 

 

[Guest moo1304]

@haney207 finally! they are in 1 frame and sit together. lol

 

from the full photo i think they have another venue or afterparty aside from the wrap up party venue ..it looks like a bar cafe..the table menu is full of alchohol drinks. 

i saw that actors,pd n closer crews tend to have 2nd round of farewell party. the first party is usually for media

[mundaliv]

Finally finish IANAR!! Wow, nice ending really. All problems are solved perfectly  

Really nice and heartwarming drama.

Last GIFs as a good bye gift to this drama

Hi, everyone!

You may feel unfamiliar with me, because yes, this is my first post ever in this thread. I'd been lurking silently, giggling and enjoying this thread and since the drama has officially ended, I want to thank all of you for all the contributions in this thread, without you the excitement of watching the drama wouldn't be the same.
Reading all your observations, your rants, your jokes, and also enjoying the fan-arts, fan-vids, shared videos, etc.. I had a great time while waiting for new episodes each week. So, again, thank you all! You already worked hard to make this thread alive and I'm apologizing because I couldn't give any contribution since I'd been so busy although honestly I wanted to do some observations and comments too

So, because the drama has officially ended, I want to (finally) give a contribution too here!
I'd like to point out things I got while watching IANAR and ofc, these points are my opinion only! ^^

 

Spoiler

 

• The beautiful fate of Kim Minkyu and Jo Jia. 
  
  Both of them were so "lonely" to the point that almost no one was by their side. KMK had been living in loneliness and longing to interact with humans, he wanted to live a normal life but he just couldn't. And everyone just "looking down" on him because of his bad attitude and how he treated others, they basically talking bad about him in behind and hating him. He couldn't trust anyone and it made him lonely. While JJA was also living her life in loneliness, but ofc it was slightly different from MK. No one really believed in her and we knew how everyone looking down at her ideas---her oppa, her (ex)boyfriend for example. She basically was lonely, too.
  
  I thank Butler Sung and Sunhye (and the sister-in-law with her daughter) that they were the ones that still believed in MK and JA, when the world turned its back at them. The interesting thing was, these lonely people were met by fate. How JA's inventions ended up being parts of MK's belongings, how JA as President Jo bought toy for MK, how they met on the train (oh, this was so legit! what a fate!), and how their life was so similar. On top of all, how JA could understand MK after spent some times  with him, that she could feel sad when MK treated robots like humans and not to forget how MK adored every characters of her that he met and her ideas then cheered her up. So beautiful. I was (and still am) amazed by how romantically beautiful their fate was. Their love was so true: it didn't start with lust, but with their own "emptiness".
  
  It's not a love story that only sold about "i love you, please be mine." or "i'm attracted to you, i cant live w/o you", but about two people who was "abandoned" and struggling to survive in their sadness that found each other and fulfill the emptiness in their life.
  
   
• When you're smart and genius, it doesn't mean that you're perfect.
  We are all know about how JA and BG broke up, how BG treated JA although he loved her. He was too full of himself that he couldn't be bothered by JA's ideas. After the broke up and they met up again with MK in their life, he started to learn that he could be wrong. And from how BG character's developed, I learn about this: we aren't perfect and we make mistakes, when we make mistakes we have to be responsible for it---just like what BG did, tried to fix things that "destroyed" by his confidence. And we know that MK is also smart and looks so perfect, but he isn't perfect at all. He's a human too, he's as imperfect as the other characters (and us).
  
   
• About being honest.
  JA and Santa Maria Team were lying to MK and we know how bad the lies were. It led to MK's anger and it hurt everyone's heart. Everyone became victims. If only they had confessed before MK found out, what would've happened? But, I like the way the story went after MK's anger tho, because everyone had finally improved themselves by reflecting on their fault and it led to happiness in the end, MK also learnt about forgiving others and accepting his weakness.
  
   
• Forgiving and Apologizing
  I honestly cried, my tears just burst out when MK and YC were doing handshake, like..."FINALLY!!". I dunno why I was crying because of that short scene, but it was beautiful in my eyes. How relieved YC was when he did handshake MK that never forgave him for the past 15 yrs and how MK looked so happy because their relationship had finally been "healed" and I could see how relieved he was too. Both of them were having grudge for 15 years, despite the fact that they used to be bestfriends (close enough to consider each other as brother) and it must be so hurt to feel that way towards your bestfriend. I'm glad both were forgiving each other and YC, the one who broke MK's trust, apologizing. beautiful. really.
  
   
•  Women's power
  I mean, look at how easy-going, brave and independent our main heroine, JA, was. She's also hardworking and she didn't easily give up, she did stand for her beliefs. I also adore the fact that she was trying to be success on her own although she had a super-rich chairman as her soon-to-be husband. After JA and Sunhye, RE, Pai and Hongjoo were also my favorites! lets remember about how brave RE was to say whatever she felt and the memorable scene of "the postcards, i didn't send them". And Sunhye! I can't really describe how I feel about her, she's just so amazing!! She's so bold, so honest,  and I can't imagine the relationship between our main couple if she hadn't been existed! She's like a catalyst for their relationship tho. And Pai! She was so independent and genius, I'm proud of her. And Hongjoo, her character was so warm and she was so understanding. Ah, I am so proud of woman characters in this drama!
  
   
•  The Kiss Scenes
  Their first kiss was so passive, because at that time JA was still Aji 3 in MK's eyes and belief. Then, their second kiss was beautiful, but not too intense (maybe) because this was MK's first doing kiss by himself (not just being kissed). Their third kiss (my most favorite tho LOL) was so, so, so intense and it felt like the kiss was telling us about how their relationship had developed. I can feel the longing of each other's existence, the love, and how they couldn't let each other go... to me those were evidences that their relationship had gone deeper, the trust was already built stronger. And all of their stories wrapped beautifully by the ending kiss that looked so warm and I would like to interpret that as a kiss of husband and wife, the highest relationship status in their love life. It's cute how JA went to the gate and welcomed him and telling story about how successfull she was now, then she slipped and they kissed with that pose (i kinda worried with JA because she was bending like that lmao, "gurl, is your back okay? you don't feel any backache, right? Ah, it's okay, MK will let you use his massage chair and may personally massage your back *OOPS *just a massage! *if you think about something else, it means you're byuntae like me lmao") 

 

Last, but not least, I want to say how i love everyone in the drama (even Dumb&Dumber lmao, except Hwang Do Won and Ye Sung Tae who only knew to use their children for wealth), especially KMK and JJA!! I love YSH and CSB so much although this is only their second drama that I've watched.

 

Quote

 

I first watched YSH in "Remember", but I watched for NGM at that time so I didn't really pay attention on YSH... I just said, "Wow, this guy is so handsome and his acting is great"--- no joke, he made me cry hard when he cried for his character's dad's death :((

and for CSB, I watched her in "Sassy, Go, Go" and I kinda loved and hated her at the same time because her character there as Kwon SooAh was so two-faced, but I ended up pitied her and loved her sistermance with the main female (Jung Eunji). Her acting was so good because I could easily feel her feelings. And I watched some cut scenes of her in Rebel & Love in The Moonlight and... wow. just wow. You go, girl!

 

 

But I didnt expect I'd watch these two in a same drama with THEIR AMAZING CHEMISTRY THAT MAKES ME CANT STOP FANGIRLING OVER THEM. I love them so much.
Not only because of their chemistry on-off screen, but with their humble & lovely personality and ofc, their acting skills. So proud of them.

I wish the drama were still airing tho hahaha, but ofc nothing in this world is last forever, and I have to say goodbye with this beautiful drama. One of those dramas that taught me many lessons in life and helped me open another new perspective in my mind about this world. I'll miss this drama, all the casts and especially our KMK & JJA couple. I wish they will be paired up for another project, be it a drama (Sageuk drama is nice too since they're both so gorgeous using those costumes in Sageuk drama) or photoshoot or CF or others, I don't mind tho as long as I see them interact in one frame! 

and since I'm ChaeYoo shipper, I wish them the best for their relationship whatever it will be-friends or lovers

and i wish for us too, so we can move on faster, but seriously it's hard to move on. I already miss them  how do i spend my next weds and thurs now?

So sorry for a very long post, I'm just too excited! have a nice day everyone!

 

PS: For an episode that was shot and edited in a very short time, the ending episodes are so beautiful and delivered messages well, it doesn't look so rushed. The Team was working so hard, I hope they can get some rest after this and keep healthy

[natouuu]

Annyeong!

Anyone knows if there will be out OST with instrumental songs from this drama? I mean background music by various artists.

[Amulya Kolusu]

@stroppyse hey, I was just kidding, along with these whole batch of dramas ending at once I would miss you a lot. I know many times you must have been considerate to translate just because someone randomly requested you to, even when you weren't in the mood, love you for this. I'm looking forward to the next drama we both would watch.

[j9sshi]

I was looking on YT for more bts clips. I realized I didn't finish watching YSH & CSB's  VLIVE, so I finally finished it. It was cute to see their interaction towards each other in the beginning of the drama (I think they said they would be filming ep 9 - 10). 

 I wish they would do another one of these now that the show is over.  I would love to see how they interact with each other now, even though they seemed pretty comfortable with each other back then 

 

(I hope its okay to post this link:)
