[Orion's Daily Ramblings] "I'm Not a Robot" Teases Quirky Man-Battles Between Yoo Seung-ho and Uhm Ki-joon

"I'm Not a Robot" has released news stills of its two leading men about to enter one of the oddest love triangles and bromances I have seen. I am expecting a lot of bickering, bonding and an unhealthy dose of deceit and subterfuge over the not-robotic reality that links them. As appealing as being fought over by Yoo Seung-ho and Uhm Ki-joon may sound, I have a feeling that our heroine will not be very appreciative to be caught between their characters.

Uhm Ki-joon plays Hong Baek-gyoon, a renowned robotics expert who is a complete romantic klutz with attachment issues, because it's the only way I can interpret the creepy decision to model his new beloved fembot after his ex-girlfriend. That would be the titular not-a-robot, Jo Ji-ah, played by Chae Soo-bin. I still don't know the circumstances which lead to her impersonating his robot, but I bet they are awkward.

So to recap here, we have a hero with some form of "human allergy" romancing a heroine who somehow ends up as a stand-in for the robot that her ex-boyfriend has been trying to build in her likeness. What could possibly go wrong here?
