Kim Min-Kyu who owns the KM Financial company which owns the Santa Maria team headed by professor Hong Baek-Kyun (Um Ki-Joon). Professor Hong's team has created a humanoid robot called AJI 3 which looks like his ex-girlfriend Jo Ji-Ah.

 

Professor Hong sends the robot to Min-Kyu to convince him to invest and save the Santa Maria team. Before the robot can be sent to Min-Kyu the robot is accidentally damaged. In order to stall for time to fix it Professor Hong asks Jo Ji-Ah to take its place. She agrees to impersonate the robot under the supervision of the Santa Maria team. 

 

Will Min-Kyu find out about the deception right away due to his allergy? Or will he end up falling for the world's-greatest robot without knowing that “it” is actually a “she?

REACTION: (Times Watched: 2)

So yes I have seen this drama twice. This means that IT'S A REALLY GOOD DRAMA. It’s definitely
one of my favorites for many reasons. I like the personality of Jo Ji-Ah. I like her determination to
create things for a small percent of people. She has a really caring heart while still not taking any crap
from anyone. I also like Min-Kyu’s character development. From the first episode to the last episode
he really becomes a person that you can’t help but like. 

Of course the deception in this show is really hard to watch, especially since they do not know about
his allergy. You can't help but be scared while watching whether he is going to suddenly die or not.
Even though Min-Kyu’s personality is hard to like in the beginning, you can’t help but feel bad for him. 

Even though that part of the show might be really sad, it is still a romantic comedy. It is really a funny
show. After watching it for the second time (months after watching the first one) I was reminded just
how funny this drama is. Min-Kyu, Ji-Ah and the Santa Maria Team truly bring the comedy factor into
this show flawlessly. 

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO: 

• Anyone who likes robots
• Anyone who has ever been deceived
• Anyone who likes opposites attract love stories
• Anyone who likes funny supporting characters

FAVORITE SONG FROM OST: 

“마음의 말” by Kim Yeonji. 마음의 말 translates to “Words of the Heart”. This song is so beautiful that
I cry almost every time I hear it. The words are so powerful that you can’t help but get emotional while
listening to it. Even if you do not look up the translation you can tell by Kim Yeonji’s voice just how
important the lyrics are. However, if you do look up the lyrics you will understand that this song was
written in Jo Ji-Ah’s point of view. The way that she is longing to tell Min-Hyuk how she feels but she
can’t. She can only hope that he can understand the words that are being said through her heart.
DAMN THAT WAS DEEP! I am getting emotional just writing about this song.

Honorable Mention: "천천히 할래" by Vincent Blue, "마음 다해 사랑하는 일" by Damsonegongbang
