What is I’m Not a Robot about?

A reclusive investor whose allergy to human contact leaves him covered in hives agrees to host a humanoid robot for field testing. When the prototype short-circuits days before delivery, its creator persuades his ex-girlfriend — the woman the machine was modelled on — to stand in until repairs are finished. Playing a robot means never flinching, never sleeping on camera and never, under any circumstances, being touched.

Critics consensus: A featherlight premise handled with unexpected tenderness — Yoo Seung-ho’s touch-starved recluse and Chae Soo-bin’s exhausted impostor turn a sitcom setup into a sweetly melancholy romance about being seen. The cast is led by Yoo Seung-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Um Ki-joon, Kang Ki-young, Hwang Seung-eon, among others.
