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 to a point where she falls in love with him. The developer who has been tracking her use of the AI develops feelings for her and there is a love triangle that must play out as external players try to get hold of the glasses.
It's a good storyline. I'm quite invested. What made me pause and try to regroup is the unhealthy dependence Han So-yoen has for the AI. It makes her seem naive. She is behaving as if they are dating whereas in episode 8 they are both in Gio Lab and he is undergoing tests to get him back online. Shouldn't she at least be interested in meeting the employees around her. It's a bit strange how she is 100 percent tunnel vision.
What kind of lays the foundation in the program, by this I mean the foundation of the relationship between the developer and Han so yoen or, even Han so yoen and the AI, is that they met when they were children. That is the memory that I am waiting to see them discover. Guess I'll have to wait a little more as the blackout hacking case is brought forward and dealt with and the goons continue chasing after the main characters.
