I loved the show, the actors and the plot. The idea of one's consciousness trapped in a piece of technology, Avatar-style, was a new one. The scenes where In-seong tells himself that he's an actor doing his job were always good ones, specially when he one ups the vice chairman. But I needed closure for Kim Seon-ju: did his daughter see him in a coma like that? Where is he now? Didn't anybody get second opinion about his condition? Oh, well, it's the end anyway.

At the end of the day, this drama was really sweet. It had one of the best male leads I’ve seen in a while - no trace of toxicity, a genuinely caring person who knows when to apologize and can’t help making jokes that no one laughs at. One of my favorite things about this drama was watching him just be himself, and the people around him slowly growing to understand him and his worth. Not to mention his absolutely brilliant smile.

I thought it did a great job of balancing funny scenes and situations with the heavier plot elements, and it has a found family that I thought was so adorable. The romance is just the right amount, and all the other relationships are just as satisfying.

I will say that the ending was left quite open - big plot points are resolved, but lots of smaller things are left to your own imagination, so if that is something that bothers you, be forewarned. The questions that I had at the end did not detract from my enjoyment of the show, but it would have been nice to have a little more time left in the last episode to see how things worked out for all the other characters/businesses. Overall, despite its truly wild premise, this drama was cute and fun and there are scenes I will really enjoy coming back to again and again.

I really enjoyed the comedy, character development, the found family and the great team work. It was a drama that was quite light for 70% of the time which meant it felt darker when the chaebol shenanigans showed up. It raised some interesting questions about AI and reminded me of the similar themes in My Holo Love.

I am happily surprised to see a 8.4 rating. I thought this slipped by many. This is an uncomplicated drama with a high concept that actually makes sense in the end. The MLs were sweet and understated and I really enjoyed that they were not too 'glamourous'. It was funny, touching and exciting at times. This is not the best drama in the world, but I was looking forward to each episode and they went down so smooth. If it was longer than 12 episodes it would have been wrecked, but it ties up nicely.

I serendipitously discovered K Dramas a few months ago and am totally addicted. That said, I initially wasn't interested in watching this series because it sounded like a ridiculous concept. I finally decided to give it a go...and was instantly hooked. I love it when I come across what I believe, and as others have noted, a hidden gem.

The acting is top-notch and relationships developed at an even pace. I loved the portrayal and emphasis on family bonds. It was endearing rather than trite. There were moments of sadness and joy, edge-of-the-seat drama and a delightful twist. The series left me feeling with a bit of joy in my heart. Kudos to everyone in this production. Well done.
