Snow, steam, and back-hugs in Seo Kang-joon’s robot drama Are You Human Too

It’s been a while since there have been any updates on the other robot rom-com in the pipeline, Are You Human Too (as opposed to MBC’s I’m Not a Robot), so I’m glad to see that it’s still chugging along. This drama comes from KBS, starring Seo Kang-joon (Entourage) in a dual role as a human and his robot look-alike. Directed by Cha Young-hoon (Baek-hee Has Returned, Shark) and written by Jo Jung-joo (Princess’s Man), Are You Human Too has an interesting setup that sounds really intriguing.

 

Kim Sung-ryung (Legend of the Blue Sea) plays a world-renowned robotics expert whose son, played by Seo Kang-joon, ends up in a comatose state. In order to protect her son and his chaebol inheritance from their greedy relatives, she creates an android that looks exactly like him to impersonate him while he gets well. Gong Seung-yeon (Circle) plays a former boxer and current bodyguard who becomes the closest companion to the newly created humanoid bot.

 

Filming began in June of this year and ended this past November, but the project has been in the works for nearly two years. Are You Human Too was filmed partially overseas in the Czech Republic, and some of the more intensive scenes were overseen by a special effects movie team. It’s no wonder the production cost was over 10 billion won (over $9 million).

A teaser trailer of Are You Human Too was released earlier this year at MIPCOM, a global entertainment trade fair and forum where over 14,000 broadcasting and production teams representing nearly a hundred countries introduce their latest creations. According to reports, there was a lot of interest from international content buyers in Are You Human Too’s potential, especially because of Seo Kang-joon’s popularity.

 

Currently, KBS has wrapped up filming for the fully pre-produced Are You Human Too and is getting ready to air it in the beginning half of next year.

Beating hearts and fiery infernos in Are You Human Too teaser

Given that the next trope trend on the horizon is android dramas, I’m excited at this glimpse of the our next entry in the genre, Are You Human Too, and especially at how different it is from our currently airing one, I’m Not a Robot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the adorable romance and heart-pangs that I’m Not a Robot is giving me, but given that comparison between the dramas is inevitable, I’m glad to have them be more different than not.

 

Are You Human Too takes a much more serious, dramatic approach to the android premise, and seems tension-packed and action-driven based on this initial teaser. So far I’m liking the look of the show; it certainly looks to have made full use of its 10 million won budget and its fully pre-produced schedule (the drama has wrapped filming).

 

The show also puts the android front and center, which is the opposite of I’m Not a Robot; I’m intrigued to see how it’s the robot getting the bulk of the character and plot development, not the human. That’s because the premise centers around the android, Nam Shin-III, being brought in to serve as secret placeholder for its human counterpart, Nam Shin, a third-generation chaebol who lies in a coma. Seo Kang-joon plays both versions, and it’s Shin’s mother Kim Sung-ryung, a renowned AI expert, who is responsible for the switch; she creates the robot in her son’s image, and asks him to “protect Shin’s place.â€

 

 

 

The teaser starts out with both versions of Shin coming face to face in surprise, and one asking, “What does it mean when our faces and names are the same?†Mom tearfully asks Shin-III (“a robot more human-like than a humanâ€) to call her Mom, and the two embrace.

 

Yoo Oh-sung can always be counted on to play an ambitious villain, so I expect him to be our resident baddie here. He growls menacingly for someone to “do it in one job,†and we see a dangerous car chase unfold on the road, and Shin-III behind the wheel of a car.

 

As the android emerges from a car and is greeted by a staff of bowing employees, he says, “I’m not the Shin of the past.†Someone tells him in a low voice, “For god’s sake, act like Shin,†and he replies, “I’m Shin, too.†We see Shin embrace Gong Seung-yeon, who plays a bodyguard, and then an explosion rocks the interior of a restaurant. An angry voice yells, “I told you not to do anything conspicuous! Why don’t you listen?â€

 

Then as Shin covers Gong Seung-yeon’s eyes, she says she can hear his heart beating. As he carries her out of a burning building, he tells her matter-of-factly, “I don’t have things like hearts.â€

 

Are You Human Too will premiere in early 2018.
