Bong So : She was far from perfect at the beginning but I was happy to see her evolving.
She could have more empathy for Nam Shin. She will become old and him? The good point was cleary Seo Kang Joon. He was really great! The postproduction was very good too. But the story could have been better for me. Ro-ra died saving her kid, not a robot. I so agree with all your points. Now I don't have to post. She'll become old I thought of that too! Apparently we take things to their logical conclusion.
Ultimately this show disappointed because they took a clever premise with lots of possibilities and then made the last half been there, done that, same old same old. I do give kudos as you said to Seo Kang Joon. I think So Bong behaved very kindly toward Nam Shin: she participated in plans to save his life several times, and admitted to feeling bad for him until he epically wronged her again.
While he strangled her twice. I was glad he showed concern for her well-being in this episode, but I definitely think he owed her a ton, and she didn't owe him a thing. I've said my piece on my fan wall so all I'll say is that I agree completely and leave it at that. I agree with you. He is a robot-robot-robot and the lead character was just ugh.
She is so pathetic that she ended up with a mechanical device in the end. Emotional attachments do not change reality. So Bong can be with whoever she wants.
She can pick a robot or human. It is her life, she can do whatever she wants. You don't need to understand it, you just need to respect it. There was no competition between the human and the robot.
So Bong is in love with the robot. So the human was never in the picture to be with her. Whether she becomes old and he becomes immortal is not for you to decide. There is nothing wrong with that. It is only wrong in your mind. The mother died for nothing because she can always build the robot if it ever gets destroyed. The robot is a lot tougher and would have survived those items like what happened in the fire at the beginning.
The ending was not that good because the writers clearly wanted to be ambiguous or vague to whether So Bong ended up with the Robot or Human. However, she will clearly end up with the robot no matter what because she has feelings for the robot and not the human. Let me help you out as a mother of two teenage children that is still in her thirties. I don't have to respect nothing about a fictional show and it appears that you're having a problem with reality 2.
And at the end of the day, she is an emotional dysfunctional character that it's so dysfunctional that her emotional attachment made her fall in love with a mechanical robot. Emotional attachments does not all the time line up with reality like it doesn't this case. It is not always about feeling. He is a robot no matter how people try to slice it based on their emotional attachment to this freaking character, he is still a robot and he will always be a robot that can be reprogrammed at any time.
Having feelings for something does not make it right in this Society is so emotionally reactive and dysfunctional it does not make any sense. I wish my teenage children would tell me that they're in love with a dogon robot with fake tears and nice sensibilities. They'll be locked up in a mental ward before you can say achew. Seo Kang Jun acting is top notch.. I don't buy the story.. As opposed to Sobong being in a loving, trusting relationship with no deceit or history of violence involved?
The whole idea of the show is that in this universe, where AI has progressed to this point, he is NOT inferior. NSIII is clearly demonstrated to show emotions, whether he labels them that way or not. It a robot at the end of the day, he gets it; it seems that it is you that do not by trying to take a naturalistic biological approach to scrap metal with an nice AI artificial in every sense personality.
I am glad that the real Shin and Sobong did not get together, Shin did not deserve that life long sentence of crazy emotionally disturbed pants. You missed the whole point of the show. It's already in the title: "Are you human too? The show's point of view is are you human enough to act as a "human" in front others will it be superior or inferior? Based on what I saw in the reaction or the comments here, I found it disgusting how you watched the whole show without realizing its point or learning from its message.
You show how pitiful your thinking are. I am ashamed that the robot's thinking are better than you, he does know how to respect every individual. I can almost sense that even human, these people who commented thinking of themselves too high that their subordinates, or even staffs are getting their asses kicked if they made a mistake.
Are you really human? That's a beautiful message that the show is sending and one of the reasons I love the Tin Can couple so much. Pure love and full acceptance and support. That's how healthy relationships should be.
Nam Shin should have gotten more screen time so we could see him mourning Mom and taking steps to be a better person. We should have seen as well Nam Shin and Nam Shin 3 together again, I feel that what they had to say to each other was important too for the closure of the story.
There is also grandpa, Ye Na, the story of Nam Shin dad's But I will not complain because the ending was just perfect. I also agree that David was talking about Nam Shin and not the robot in the end.
In the end, the only problem here is that I'm not over Nam Shin 3 yet and I'm going to miss our Shinammon roll a lot. Thank you, LollyPip for recapping this show. It was a good show, it had its flaws but I still liked it a lot. What really kept me glued to the screen was Seo kang joon and his amazing interpretation of the two Shins.
Congratulations to him for his talent and hard work! The last few episodes felt messy and rushed to me, especially after such a solid start and middle to the show.
There are a lot of things in the final episodes that frustrated me and that could have been done better, you touched on a few of them the female characters for example , but even though the show faltered for me by the end, I'm glad it was a happy ending. And the rest of the show plus the performances were strong enough that I'm not too disappointed all in all. I loved SKJ and GSY, they were certainly what kept me watching even through the last episodes, after the plot didn't really do it for me anymore.
All in all I think it was a solid show, and I'd probably watch it again, even if just to stare into Seo Kang-Joon's beautiful brown eyes for as long as I want. I can always fast forward through the bits at the end that I didn't care for and just watch the robomance-bits, right? Final ep for me was not only rushed but also showed the most lazy writing. Annoyingly, Evil dude overstayed his welcome since ep14 if not earlier - seriously, had they dealt with him sooner, the final hour would have been more than sufficient to wrap things up smoothly.
Having said that, there were a lot of perks to the show, like the performances by the lead actors, as you mentioned, and the themes it chose to explore re artificial intelligence and human behaviour in general. Despite the weak writing in the latter half of the show, the premise was engaging enough to keep me watching right till the very end.
I haven't read this entire thread, so perhaps this has been discussed elsewhere, but Just me, then? I mean, obviously there won't be the pitter-patter of tiny human feet in their house, but will they be able to get beyond kissing and hugging, at least? And am I a perv that this is where my mind goes to every.
Don't tell me that sex doesn't matter. And, yes, I realize this is just a story! I actually envisioned quite a different ending because of this thorny problem, by the way. Overthinking things again, I know. But asexuality is a thing and since it's my thing I gotta say that sex doesn't always matter lol.
The sex question does come up a lot! I wasn't around for You Who Came From The Star recaps, was there a lot of discussion of the alien's downstairs situation and wanting her to get with a human whose downstairs situation was unquestioned?
Um… anyway, though I totally respect other people's differing views on this debatable topic, I personally assumed that they were going to have sex and it would be great! And if he didn't, oh well, we see David adding features, and also many couples don't need that appendage to have fabulous sex lives. Certainly, there's the question of desires, and we don't know what either character's were, but what with the kissing and So Bong's pounding heart and Nam Shin III's obvious delight in closeness and pleasing others… well.
From my PoV it looked like everything was going to go fabulously and er, I wish the happy couple every happiness. Plus when it comes to the pitter-patter of tiny human feet, again as many real life couples do… if they wanted to, Nam Shin III would be a great dad, and adoption or sperm donation Nam Shin's, if he was up for it, and they wanted the baby to resemble his dad are great options.
So… no problems. Aside from the vexed question of roomba custody. Where was that roomba at? I agree Also, yes, artificial insemination would be the way to go, he has a jealous streak and she would only do it that way I'm sure. I can't see his robot character denying her children if she wanted them. Lord knows how the government would record a robot as a father; that's for Season 2.
I wish they had made one more episode before the Finale showing them recovering him from the water, rebuilding him, deciding what changes to make and what to replicate. It would have been nice to see more of the transformation of ShinO fro A-hole to decent human being. Also, once the job was complete, the opening of Shin4's eyes and the expressions as he re-loads all the data from before, the look of recognition to the 3 who were responsible for re-building him, that would have been a cool scene.
LOL, I think that they will have no problem with that. I bet Namshin 3 was anatomically correct from the beginning they hinted at it with the scene with Reporter Jo.
But even if he wasn't, David already expressed his desire for Nam Shin 3 to have a girlfriend David wants the best for Nam Shin 3 XD As for So Bong, she is a lucky one to have a boyfriend that will likely be so generous in bed and cannot get tired, like, ever.
As marybee said, Nam Shin 3 would be an awesome father. I dunno but I assumed that sex or anything physical was possible from the very last scene. NS3 says he's closer to an average human.
I took it as he no longer have his cool abilities to track others GPS, access IoT, lie detector and so forth which was a little sad It also stuck out to me that when SB caressed his face, he actually responded. NS3 put his hand up to her hand and caressed it a bit. To me, this implied that David improved his tactile abilities. There are clues in the series that point to this, that his skin doesn't feel quite right, which meant his tactile input may have not been as advanced.
Plus I don't remember a scene where she touches his face and see him respond to her touching his face. Normally, he just stares back at her or grabs her hand afterwards. I'll have to rewatch the series again tho concerning these interactions. And then those tears I'm going to say that he'll probably produce sweat, as there are many reference to him being unable to sweat, so surely David will have fixed that problem to make him closer to humans, right? From these observations, I inferred that the physical part of their relationship was quite possible.
They can just adopt a child if that is your concern. Nam Shin III would most likely become a great father. No, that wasn't my concern.
In fact the physical part of the relationship didn't concern me at all. I was actually the ones that didn't care for sex in the SB-NS3 relationship. I know it did concern others tho and I was saying given what I saw of the ending, physical intimacy is possible. Plus marybee's idea of using NS's sperm as donation totally works if they want to have a kid! I am your father! Thanks for the recap LollyPip! Shinnamon was alright in the end so yay! And he was just so awesome as always.
That was his best part, as he was, regardless of being a robot. The ending scene was nice. And I could've done some more of human Shin's "coming back to his senses". I can't believe it took his mum's death to realize what he's done, I felt I fully agree with you LollyPip about So-Bong.
When they bursted into that warehouse, I expected her to fight alongside Nam-Shin III but then she just stood there which really seemed out of character for So-Bong. I mean, we saw her do a high-fly kick at reporter Jo in ep 1 or 2 so she certainly has the skills and she has spent the entire drama trying to protect him and saying she was his bodyguard.
What kind of bodyguard sits back? Granted, Nam-Shin has super-human or robot strength. Unfortunately, it happened often enough in dramas when the female lead goes from badass to damsel in distress. Which is why Secretary Kim surprised me in a very good way.
The ending did feel a little rushed, but it was a great ride and was even better for the live-watch with fellow Beanies with all the awww and Noooo and squeals.
I completely agree that So Bong was done wrong. They put her abilities on the mantelpiece, and the only person we saw her kick in the face was Reporter Jo? Come on now! This is it! She'll get to kick an evil minion in the face!
I just wanted her to have some guarding of a body to do! Any body! The chance was right there, and we definitely didn't need to see Nam Shin III trying to intimidate Seo, which didn't even work as Seo was back up and murdering two seconds later.
I was praying for some stuff for So Bong. But… disappointingly, no. There was a lot of plot stuff that needed extreme smoothing. And nobody thought about the fact NS III can reproduce his memories on TV for the world to see, even if only to dismiss that with 'people would say he could doctor them'? Why was Seo's minion not in jail too? I see the shape of what they were going for, and they could've made it all work, but as it was… not really. I see why Ro Ra going down showed Nam Shin how awfully wrong he'd been, as Nam Shin from the start was living his lie of a life in order to protect his mother.
Unwittingly, he caused her death. I can see why his worst nightmare would be a huge wake-up call for him about how he was going down entirely the wrong path, and it did good character work for both her sons--we saw the different way they both mourned, in which Nam Shin could cry but couldn't do it with someone else, and Nam Shin III couldn't cry but had So Bong's supportive love.
And we see Nam Shin III wishing he could cry, when he started off the show wishing he could smile: rounding off the show's depiction of his longing for a human experience. Speaking for her character alone, though, I was still sad she went.
I was also sad for Ye Na never leaving her mom's house! There's filial stuff involved there that I'm clearly not fully understanding, but anyone can see she did a hard thing--and she also did a smart thing, slyly leaving her phone there, at a time when the characters much though I loved them were not doing a lot of smart things. And I was glad she went to her mom's, which seemed the best place for her--a fresh start with a definitely-better-parent.
Another grace note I was really thankful for was that Ro Ra got the final voiceover: it eased the sting of her death a little that she wasn't entirely silenced, that the creator of both Nam Shins got the last word. Indeed, though I've complained at length, the grace of Are You Human Too endeared it to me thoroughly. The show wasn't afraid for people to be really flawed and care for them anyway.
But no--we were asked to accept they were all human. We were, I think, often shown the essence of who people truly were, and who they really wanted to be, and how they might have strayed away from that, and betrayed their true essence--but ultimately didn't. Often Nam Shin III was the one who saw someone's true essence and helped them embrace it--which is the best way to have a true and deep connection.
So Bong at her core was someone who shepherded people out of a fire very early on, but by the end she didn't think that was a stupid thing to do, or that the world was cruel and nobody in it would help her: she learned to be who she really was, was in for saving even someone who'd been awful to her and to be happy being herself. Young Hoon from the start was someone faithful and true, but he doubted whether he really was loyal, whether he really did care. Nam Shin III was there to tell him he did.
So Bong and Young Hoon proved their loving hearts through a barrage of tests: unlike Seo and Grandpa, they didn't trade in their souls to get what they wanted, and so they deserved to get what they wanted. There's symmetry in that, even while he stayed a jerk pretending to be NS III one last time, oh Sinnamon, why are you so uncool. And once again, connections between people saved those people. One small note I liked was that Seo called Nam Shin with his false accusation, obviously trying to stir up trouble and turn Shin against Shinnamon, which might have worked--except Young Hoon came to Shin to tell him, and Shin didn't wait to hear Seo answer the question he'd asked him.
Shin turned to Young Hoon instead, even before he knew Ro Ra was dead, and even though he figured Young Hoon had turned against him. Seo and Grandpa were the only ones who didn't know a company was less important than people's lives: that hearts were worth more than a chair.
I thought most of the actors brought their A game, but he brought it like four times. I was so impressed, not only by the different portrayals of mourning this episode, but by the beginning, in Ro Ra's vision: so often the Shins displayed diametrically different emotions, but in that scene they were both showing the same emotion--smiling with happiness. But despite the same emotion on the same face, they were such different people they still looked entirely different.
I felt I knew, in my soul, from the smiles alone that Nam Shin was cheating at that game they were playing, and Nam Shin III was still going to win, and felt enormous affection for them both.
SKJ hit the kill switch with his performance every episode. I spent most of the show in a state of extreme anxiety about the characters' fates and the last episode was no exception. Shinnamon Tres Leches Cake being backlit to haunting music, with A Cross behind him subtle this show was not put the fear of narrative in me. Had Shinnamon Rim Pumpkin Beer been finally disposed of, I would have felt that was the show saying--he was a good machine, but that's all he was: he was there to facilitate human growth, and not a person in his own right.
That would have been a narrative betrayal, after we saw him longing for his mother and So Bong, learning and changing, wishing to smile and cry, after we were encouraged to smile and cry with him. It would have felt like a betrayal of the other characters too--So Bong and how deeply she came to love him, Young Hoon and the independent friendship between them, and Nam Shin--who came later to the game, and had understandably the most drastic response of 'this isn't human and doesn't count as real' of all.
Nam Shin III reached out for connections, and people reached back. They all had to learn to come close to each other. I was so glad that Nam Shin III and So Bong got their romantic happy ending, that he was a robot and remained a robot and yet he got to have wishes and have those wishes be granted. I loved that we didn't lose sight He clearly wanted to be with So Bong, as he clearly wanted to join the warmth of last episode's birthday celebrations--as he once looked at and longed for the warmth of Ro Ra embracing Original Sin in the pool.
Except the party was warmth meant for him, the individual Nam Shin III--he'd earned love for himself, and yet he still made the sacrifice, falling in the water with the light in his eyes, as he fell into the pool and had So Bong try to save him, forming their initial mutual connection.
Nam Shin III took off his battery watch to save Nam Shin, and in turn saved himself--because he turned off himself off, he wasn't irretrievably destroyed by the kill switch, and thus was able to be brought back from the water into the warmth. I never really had any quibbles about the romance, as I've been in for vampires and aliens before: I think David could certainly cosmetically change Nam Shin III to age if he wanted, that a guy literally made in a human guy's image is much less likely to have untraditional junk than an alien, and that anyway there are a million couples in the real world who can't have biological children or have untraditional sex lives and whose love is amazing and to be celebrated anyway.
The show asked us to love characters with many flaws and strangenesses, including a kind, happy robot. The show asked you to believe a person could create a machine able to be a person, too, and then showed us a story of many people, learning how to be the people they wanted to be--Nam Shin III among them.
Yes, it was an untraditional love story, but I loved how it embraced that, and asked viewers to embrace it too, with the empathy the story prized in its characters. It was a show that didn't get everything right, but it had a lot of heart. The hearts symbol of the necklaces was really justified. We saw Young Hoon get to be chairman, and knew he truly deserved it both because he wanted it and he'd rejected it twice for Shin's sake, and we saw Shin be free of his painful legacy.
We saw So Bong, someone who struggled with faith in others, able to hold someone and cry for them and believe in them. The show believed she wanted what she said she wanted, and had the other characters believe that too: they recognised her love as valid, and they brought her love back to her.
After all the struggles of the show, we saw David perform a great scientific feat saving Nam Shin III and giving him the ability to cry , Young Hoon as chairman, Shin able to enjoy the once-poisoned chalice of his grandfather's privilege, and So Bong and Shinnamon kissing by the water's edge outlined against the light. Ro Ra's dream came true: her sons were together and smiling.
They were all safe and on a beach in the sunshine! It was a happier and kinder ending than I thought we were getting, as Shinnamon Dream was kinder than people expected, and I'm grateful for it. I joined the community because I cared about this show and wanted to talk about it, and everyone has been most sweet in putting up with my long comments for it. In the end, it's all about caring. Are You Human Too kept asking for, and giving, empathy and understanding and kindness.
I love this flawed show for that grace. I agree with everything, marybee. SKJ really carried this drama for me. I fell in love with him as RoboShin and detested him as HumanShin. While the drama was well-acted all through out, the real beating heart was SKJ, who delivered one heck of a performance. It's my first time watching him in a drama and I'm very much impressed. There are actors who are technically great but can't get into your feelings.
Sorry for the Drake reference! Then there are those like SKJ who can make you care and relate so much for their characters, that you cry, laugh, and get your hearts broken along with them. I will miss reading your comments! I love how you point out each characters in a non biased way! I was so impressed I agree!
I am probably going to get roasted for this, but SKJ was an excellent choice for this role not only because he knocked it out of the park as an actor playing this dual role, but because here I duck and cover I have always found his looks - specifically his face - disturbing in an Uncanny Valley way. I realize I may be the only person on earth who thinks that. Please provide link for the same … If possible. Are all the episodes here?
