K-Drama My Heart

 okaaay...so... the whole story arc about the mom being murdered and the two kids knowing each other...everything I thought this series would play out and stretch till episode 16 actually all came to a tumultuous head in the same episode... episode 7. My gosh I was quite surprised and incredibly pleased.  The link between the two main characters was established and made known. And, the obvious murderer of his mom's murderer was also revealed. I was so so pleased and yet here I am on episode 11 feeling quite bored with the whole thing. I started watching Twenty one and Twenty Five and I've also started Business Proposal. So, what happened to make me lose interest. Let's break it down: 1. The main guy went rogue and tried to flee the country - a seriously dumb move for a smart guy who understands how facial recognition software works.  2. Lady love got kidnapped and instead of calling for help she haplessly announces in front of the CCTV camera in the library that she knows...

This k-drama was aired in 2020. I'm watching it now in 2022. Episode 8 to be exact. First off the bat, I am so amazed at the first rate performance by Yoon Hyun min. He is playing two roles - a friendly AI and an abrupt AI developer - and he is nailing it. Seriously. I believe he is two people. This is a far cry from when I saw him act in To all the boys I loved before. He was literally a blank stone in that series. I really dislike that whole persona of the aloof boss.  Back to My Holo Love, I love that Lee Jeong un is in this series. She's got such a bright presence whether she is a woman who abandons her child (when the camelia blooms) or a psychic trying to chase down a ghost (Oh my ghost) or just a mom who cares for her daughter (My Holo Love), she's just great. I believe whenever there's a mom stereotype in a k-drama that just centres the whole series.  So, in Holo, a painfully shy woman finds a pair of glasses that connects her to an AI. She begins to rely on him...
