I was so worried I would not like this drama before I started but my worries quickly dissolved with each episode. Waiting every week for this drama to air was torture and on Mondays and Tuesdays I found myself waiting for the day to end so I could watch my beloved Nam Sin III. ;)
What I love most about this drama is the characters and the actors who played them. Seo Kang Joon was spectacular. He made Nam Sin III robotic but in the most adorable way! Whenever Nam Sin III smiled I literally melted. Even the way he blinked was so spot on. I'm not sure how the writers managed to make a robot interesting,hilarious, and completely endearing but that's exactly what they did. Never a more pure hearted main male lead, literally a puppy dog. And of course Nam Sin the human was such a brat and I wanted to slap his beautiful face so many times. Seo Kang Joon played the two roles so well from the way he stood to the way he spoke. I was also impressed with Gong Seung Yeon as Kang So Bong. Even though her character was supposed to be annoying sometimes, Seung Yeon played her in a way where even when I was super frustrated with her, I still didn't dislike her character. I also really enjoyed Park Young Kyoo as Nam Sin's grandfather. He was really entertaining to watch and I liked the way the writers blurred his character so I was never really sure whether I was supposed to like him or hate him. I enjoyed all of the cast but lastly I want to mention, Lee Joon Hyuk as Ji Yeong Hoon. I think his character easily could have become super boring but he totally wasn't and I think that was due to Lee Joon Hyuk's acting. He was sort of a father figure to both Nam Sin III and Nam Sin and it was encouraging to see the way he protected them both. It was also so refreshing that he always said and did the smartest thing. His character was brave and loyal and level headed. Exactly the kind of character this dramatic drama needed.
The writers/director did a really good job of keeping the story going and shifting the momentum of the story in ways that I didn't notice until later on. 18 episodes can be a huge mistake but in this case every episode was deliberate and necessary. Also, who would have thought that a robot could work as the main character! That's honestly what I was most worried about but somehow Kang So Bong and Nam Sin III were cuteness overload nearly every episode. Despite logic, I ship them so hard. I also really appreciated Nam Sin III's journey as a robot learning what humans are like and learning to stick up for himself. It broke my heart when others abused him and took advantage of him but with Kang So Bong's help he came to think of himself as more than just metal parts. Watching his growth and self acceptance was inspiring.
I really enjoyed most of the ost's but I loved The Longing Dance and Milagro. They really added to the intensity of the drama.
There were a few plot points that bugged me but not enough to ruin my enjoyment or the flow.
I would definitely recommend this and am so sad that it's over!
