[Orion's Daily Ramblings] Not-A-Robot Chae Soo-Bin Reporting for Duty

"I'm Not a Robot" certainly has a unique appeal and today we get to meet the titular not-a-robot in her synthetic-wannabe form. MBC has released stills of actress Chae Soo-bin in her gynoid form, colored contact lenses and all. Perhaps the scientist's concept is the eventual forming of a girl band.

The heroine is someone who ends up with a part time job pretending to be a robot and her beau is a man with a "human allergy" who falls in love with her. Don't ask me how his allergy magically disappears, but I'm pretty sure it will. Korean dramas are often chaste, but some skinship is to be expected. Perhaps the allergy refers to social anxiety or some sort of trauma or phobia.

I'm tempted to watch the drama if only for Uhm Ki-joon goodness and to see the titular lady fumble about as she hides her human self in order to make a living. The series looks man-centric, but perhaps we can get that rare equal treatment, since both leading characters face some pretty peculiar circumstances and form an odd bond. May it be one involving entertaining and awkward hijinks.
