(Today, human beings and robots coexist.)
(Robots with artificial intelligence have human faces and emotions.)
(Human)
(Robot)
(And romance)
Come on, how about a kiss?
I won't give a dime to a crook.
- Gosh. - Get away from me.
That arrogant boy.
He'll have nightmares every night.
Is anyone there?
I said to erase human beings.
Do I look human?
She can read facial expressions.
She can also feel emotions.
(Welcome, is it your first romance with a robot?)
(I Am Not A Robot)
Hello, this is Um Ki Joon.
Today, robots from science fiction movies...
live in the same house as us.
Do you think it's far in the future?
In Korea in 2017,
we made Android robots.
Who did?
I did.
It's a fun yet surprising romantic comedy drama...
created by robots that I built.
A man who made robots.
A woman who pretends to be a robot. A man who loves a robot.
It's their nerve-racking romance.
Let's watch it together.
(I Am Not a Robot)
(Kim Min Kyu, a man who loves a robot)
(He looks beautiful like a comic book character.)
He looks beautiful like a comic book character.
He's a man who has it all.
(He's a man of wealth.)
(Min Kyu's fantastic life from "I Live Alone")
If the world comes to an end and only one person can survive,
that would be me.
Yes.
Come on.
I have millions of skills to live in solitude.
However, he has a secret that he wants to keep.
Don't you feel sorry for your friends?
When he touches people,
a rare disease is activated. He's allergic to humans.
Consequently, his lifestyle is unique.
When he leaves the house, he puts on gloves and takes a baton.
Get in the backseat.
(He keeps a safe distance.)
He keeps a safe distance even in the car.
His packages must be examined.
(His packages are examined.)
Your disease doesn't exist anywhere else.
The only solution is avoiding physical contact with people.
I can neither date nor get married.
You may find a woman who loves you despite your problem.
If she exists,
she wouldn't be normal either.
My goodness.
Here is an abnormal woman, an abnormal robot.
You little boy.
I'll show you how it feels to be hit in the head, you brat!
(Flustered)
Gosh, that feels good.
Will Min Kyu fall in love with Ji A...
who pretends to be a robot?
(Jo Ji A pretends to be a robot.)
I'm the boss.
You're the president.
I've done a lot of businesses.
I went bankrupt many times.
The only thing I have left are debt...
and a terribly short temper.
You have no brain or conscience.
I'll pull out hair from the nose and stuff your mouth with a toothbrush.
Her name is Jo Ji A. Her nickname is President Jo.
She went bankrupt four times.
It's her fifth time starting another business.
(She's competitive.)
Her competitiveness reminds us of someone hot-blooded.
Don't lower your head.
She drinks a lot.
Both lights turn on when there's internet connection.
This is key.
She's passionate about her work.
It's 1,000 dollars or nothing.
In reality, she has no money but a lot of debt.
One day,
her ex-boyfriend, Baek Gyoon,
offers her a part-time job that she can't refuse.
I thought about it, and I deserve it for letting you copy my face.
I hope you won't misunderstand...
and think I'm regretting what happened to us.
I hope you won't misunderstand that...
I have ulterior motives.
Is this all?
When you said it's a robot, I thought it was a big deal.
Gosh, that's amazing.
I feel like I became a genius.
Your IQ is 94.
The genius is the robot whose IQ can't be measured.
How do I read it? I don't know English.
It's a big event that happened to Ji A with an IQ of 94.
We wonder if she will keep herself discreet...
and finish her acting as a robot successfully.
(Will she finish her acting as a robot successfully?)
(Hong Baek Gyoon, a man who built a robot)
The transaction is canceled.
What?
Who are you? Were we friends?
That terrible...
I'll go back there.
With the intelligence of Einstein,
he's a doctor who makes an Android robot out of his ex-girlfriend.
You're a crook in the sciences?
You're a gangster in finance?
She can read facial expressions and feel emotions.
Soon, we'll live in a time where we train robots.
(Laughing)
However, what happened?
The robot breaks on the day...
when it was supposed to be sent to the investor.
You're not deceiving, but you must deceive.
You'll be contributing to the development of robots.
Right, Aji 3?
I love you, master.
Did you make her say that all the time?
Don't you think...
their relationship will get complicated?
Her IQ is 94.
We let her determine our fate.
Sometimes, it's preposterous.
No, no, no.
Sometimes, it's smart.
It'll not explode after three seconds.
Are you ready to fall in love with a genius scientist's charms?
(Are you ready to fall in love with a genius scientist's charms?)
(I Am Not a Robot)
Gosh.
(This is Doctor Hong Baek Gyoon's laboratory in Santa Maria.)
By the way, wait.
- That's him. - Is that him?
(Who are his team members?)
Cut. Good job, everyone.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm Park Se Wan who plays the role of Pai in I Am Not a Robot.
I'm Song Jae Ryong who plays a researcher named Hoktal.
I'm Kim Min Gyu who plays a researcher named Ssanip.
Don't you know that a drop of water will break it?
It's set.
It's unstable from the start.
We'll finally live comfortably.
(A charming and funny team of researchers)
You can't park here.
What happened?
(Kim Ha Kyun plays Butler Sung.)
Watch the performance of actors who are full of personality.
(Lee Byung Jun, Son Byung Ho)
(Um Hyo Seop, Seo Dong Won)
(Kang Ki Young, Lee Min Ji)
(I Am Not a Robot)
(Script reading on September 27, 2017)
On September 27,
there was the first script reading for I Am Not a Robot.
(Director Jung Dae Yoon who also produced "W")
I'll work hard...
to make it fun, lively, and enjoyable.
I don't want to do it.
(Writer Lee Seok Joon)
(Yoo Seung Ho plays Kim Min Kyu.)
Hello.
(Chae Soo Bin plays Jo Ji A and Aji 3.)
Hello.
(Um Ki Joon plays Hong Baek Gyoon)
The script reading starts.
The actors take the practice seriously.
You have no brain or conscience, you brat.
As they talked to each other from time to time,
they finished their script reading session in a happy atmosphere.
We still have some time left...
before we actually start shooting.
Until then, I'm going to analyze my character as much as I can...
so that I can shoot a really fun drama.
Things are still a bit awkward for me.
But I really had fun reading the script today.
I hope to greet the viewers who are waiting for...
I Am Not a Robot to air with a really fun storyline.
Please look forward to our drama.
- Please look over here. - Okay.
The two actors are doing a lovely photo shoot.
They're shooting posters for I Am Not a Robot.
She can go first.
(He yields his turn to Soo Bin.)
He's being a gentleman and telling Soo Bin that she can shoot first.
Chae Soo Bin starts by doing a solo photo shoot.
(Cute)
Then Yoo Seung Ho and Um Ki Joon go next.
The three main characters continue with their photo shoot.
You can only do it once.
- Like this? - Yes.
(They express their emotions with their eyes.)
They do their next photo shoot after finishing each of their own.
(They express their emotions with their eyes.)
I'm curious of how...
the storyline of their characters will unfold through the drama.
Let's go.
(The filming site is as nice as the weather.)
That's nice.
(The filming site is as nice as the weather.)
- No, that's not it. - Right.
- Thank you. - My gosh.
(Yoo Seung Ho sincerely monitors his own acting.)
Cut. Okay.
This way.
- Ready. - Good.
Action.
The actor and staff passionately carry on with the drama shoot.
My gosh!
I want you to portray Ji A's strong characteristics.
Try not to move.
(They continue shooting the drama day and night.)
Okay.
(They always rehearse their lines before the shoot.)
(Their chemistry is strong, and their teamwork is perfect.)
With a strong chemistry...
and a perfect sense of teamwork,
they carry on with their shoot very pleasantly.
(Every scene is filled with the staffs' efforts.)
Cut. Okay.
When you jump off the Grand Canyon, you have to...
They started their first shoot last fall,
and they continued to work hard.
Now, they just need to get ready to air the drama.
I can't wait to see what kind of romance...
the three main characters have yet to unfold.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Hello, everyone. I'm Kim Ki Doo,
and I star in I Am Not a Robot. It's nice to meet you.
Kim Ki Doo is a scene stealer who is known for his unique acting.
He'll be joining the filming site today...
as a one-day reporter.
(They're the best partners ever.)
He can't help, but run.
Just like typical geniuses, they have their guard up.
Let me tell you why I'm here today.
I'm here to show the viewers...
what they're curious about.
Follow me. Come on.
(Be quiet.)
(He carefully approaches the filming site.)
To be honest, that wasn't really necessary.
- What scene are you shooting? - Pardon?
I'm sorry.
They're shooting the drama near Hongdae.
Regardless of the cold weather,
we can feel how passionate...
and happy the actors and staff are.
(The two actors are sharing one bubble jacket.)
Seung... Seung Ho.
(Ki Doo says hello to Yoo Seung Ho.)
Please focus the camera on me. I was just kidding.
I just pretended to be close to him.
The relationship between the viewers and Seung Ho...
is exactly the same as my relationship...
- with him. - Excuse me. Please move over.
I'm sorry. I'm an actor myself.
Ready. Action.
(The shoot finally begins.)
(Just holding hands is enough to show their strong chemistry.)
Seung Ho is really one of a kind.
See? Did you see that? He just said hello to me.
I'm actually really close to him.
- Ready. Action. - Action.
(He hugs her passionately.)
Please don't go. I came because of you.
You are...
(All the women in the country are currently jealous of Chae Soo Bin.)
I'll buy you a battery.
Cut. Okay. Let's try shooting again...
with the same emotion as before.
(The filming site is filled with passion.)
(Ki Doo has a hard time taking his eyes off the scene.)
- Just a second. - Wait!
15 minutes.
(Um Ki Joon, who plays Hong Baek Gyoon, appears on set.)
Action.
(The three main characters do their best to act out the scene.)
- Let's shoot that one more time. - One more time.
(He's practically here as a viewer instead of a reporter.)
The shooting carries on until late at night.
This time, Seung Ho shoots a scene with Hwang Seung Un...
who plays the role of his first love in the drama.
Instead of showing any signs of tiredness,
they bring out a warm atmosphere by caring for each other...
and smiling brightly.
(Ki Doo finally goes back to being a reporter.)
My goodness. Wait. Take a look at this.
Look at her from the back.
(A young lady is having her long hair combed.)
Look at her from the back.
(She already looks beautiful from the back.)
She's so beautiful. She's gorgeous.
- Is it obvious? - Isn't it obvious?
My goodness, she's so pretty.
I need to get ready.
Oh, she says she needs to get ready now.
But then again, everyone's busy. I'm the only one who's not.
But let's still show everyone how pretty you are.
(She shows off her cuteness just by waving her hand.)
I'm wearing pajamas right now.
What's wrong with your outfit?
I'm serious.
Wait. My goodness.
My gosh. Here he is.
It's Um Ki Joon.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Just a short introduction.
(Ki Doo shows off his interview skills.)
Tell them the good points about I Am Not a Robot.
Nowadays, dramas tend to be really serious.
But our drama is really fun.
You're a lot older than Yoo Seung Ho.
Aren't I right?
- How... - I don't know how old he is.
Oh, really?
He's about 15.
He looks really young.
Do you have good chemistry with him?
- We're working on it. - I see.
Isn't Seung Ho handsome?
- Yes, he's really handsome. - What about me?
- I'm sorry. - I'm here.
Her outfit is a lot better than what she was wearing earlier.
I'm so nervous.
(Ki Doo keeps speaking from his heart.)
It feels different from how it felt when I was interviewing Ki Joon.
You look like Metal.
- Do you mean Maetel? - Oh, is it Maetel?
You should air this scene. It's supposed to be Maetel.
(Ki Doo starts acting silly.)
I had fun shooting in the afternoon.
But I'm worried about shooting at night because it's going to be cold.
I'm wearing three layers of long johns.
- Three long johns. - "Three"?
And I think I have like 10 heat packs stuck on me.
Maybe 8 or 9.
- But it doesn't seem like that. - Does it not show?
- My gosh. - They're all thin layers.
You didn't need to lower the camera like that.
But I actually saw her shivering when she was shooting earlier.
Your outfit was too thin.
My dress was too thin.
That was the only thing I was wearing.
- Soo Bin gets cold... - I get cold easily.
Yes. She gets cold easily, and she also cracks up easily.
He's right. He's completely right.
She made so many mistakes due to laughing.
I felt sorry because I thought it was because of me.
Ki Doo played a really funny role...
in the previous drama that we worked on together.
He would always make everyone laugh on set.
He was so funny.
And every time we acted together, I couldn't stop laughing.
But it felt like she was laughing because of my face.
- What are you talking about? - Was it because of how I acted?
I would've gotten disappointed if it was because of my face.
With these 2 great actors including myself, which makes it 3. Right?
I'm glad that I was able to show...
the happy atmosphere of our set to the viewers.
What day does our drama air?
- On Wednesdays and Thursdays. - On Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Look at her. I love these kinds of stuff.
- I Am Not a Robot. Good luck. - Good luck.
(I Am Not a Robot)
It's the most anticipated drama of the second half of 2017.
It's an MBC miniseries.
I got a call from I Am Not a Robot.
I'm Park Seul Gi, and I just rushed over here.
I'm really good at smelling out a hit.
I talked for too long.
Meet the stars of I Am Not a Robot.
- Hello! - Hello.
It's great to meet you all.
Our viewers just can't wait to see you.
You should introduce who you are...
and what your characters do.
I play a man who is allergic to human beings and...
hasn't had much physical contact with them for 15 years.
His name is Kim Min Kyu, and I'm actor Yoo Seung Ho.
It's great to see you.
Seung Ho's back.
Yes.
Next, Soo Bin?
Hello, everyone.
I'm Chae Soo Bin, and I play Ji A and Aji 3.
Ji A's really cheerful...
and full of love.
She's an oddball too.
Aji 3 is...
Ki Joon here plays my ex-boyfriend.
- He never forgot me... - Oh no.
- and made a robot like me. - Gosh.
That's how things get started.
It all comes about because of a clingy ex-boyfriend.
Are you wearing a wig?
Yes, actually,
even when I just breathe,
- it puffs up. - It floats and drifts.
It's moving again.
It's static electricity.
- It gets bigger and bigger. - Yes, my hair...
It must be so tough for you.
Ki Joon?
Hello, everyone, I'm...
- the man who made Aji 3. - Aji 3.
I play Hong Baek Gyoon, a doctor of engineering.
(Um Ki Joon plays Hong Baek Gyoon)
A doctor of engineering means...
- you must be smart. - I'm sure my character will be.
- Okay. - Yes.
Isn't this the first romantic comedy for all three of you?
- It's my first. - Right?
I don't really know...
- what qualifies as a romcom. - It's confusing.
I'm the standard.
You're the what?
- Sorry. - Gosh.
This must be how sweet you are on set, then.
How did you feel when you were offered your roles?
The fact that it's about a robot...
and that it's a genre about romance...
that I'm not entirely familiar with made me...
struggle with the idea, but the script was so entertaining.
Compared to your previous role,
this one is more friendly.
- It's much more lighthearted. - Isn't it?
"The Emperor" was too serious.
- It was. - Yes.
They're two extremes.
That was really serious, and this is really lighthearted.
That's what actors do. You need to make huge changes.
What about you, Soo Bin?
I got the script while I was shooting the drama...
- "Strongest Deliveryman". - I see.
When I heard the filming of both dramas would be back-to-back,
I first thought that...
- It would be exhausting. - I wouldn't have a break,
and I thought that wouldn't be ideal from the viewers perspective too,
so I was hesitant.
But when I read the script I thought I'd regret it if I turned it down.
I enjoyed reading it and...
the topic's very unusual.
I got greedy and said I'd do it.
You're Chae Soo Bin, but we should call you Soo Bin the ox instead.
You're working so hard on back-to-back dramas.
- Soo Bin the ox. - Soo Bin the ox.
What was it like for you, Ki Joon?
We're so used to you being a villain.
It was huge.
We loved to hate you in that evil role.
I'm sure you transformed for this drama.
I wanted to do it so badly.
To be honest, until now,
I killed too many people for my previous roles.
I killed too many.
I couldn't say that myself.
- You said it for me. - So...
I wanted to be in a cheerful and funny drama,
and this script fell into my lap.
I said yes right away.
Your hairdo is really mad cheerful.
"Mad cheerful"?
- You're working that perm. - You say, "mad cheerful"?
- It's something we say nowadays. - You know it?
I know it.
You're too old.
That's age gap for you.
It must be your character Ji A because it can't be the robot.
I heard you swear a lot.
- It's Ji A. - Ji A?
Isn't that not at all like you?
It must be hard to get into character.
- She did so well. - Did she?
Now that we have a witness...
She spews it out.
She spews it out?
- Gosh... - Come on.
What happened?
You look like you never swore in your life.
That's how I think you look.
So when people see me, the image they get is that...
I'm innocent, naive, and well-behaved.
- That's what people think. - Right.
I think my real personality...
- is like Ji A's. I'm cheerful. - Really?
It's hard to say you're naive and well-behaved.
- That's just my image. - It's what people think.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Could you give us a few of Ji A's lines that you remember?
"Hey, you psycho jerk."
"You look handsome enough to eat a fox's liver,"
"and you're Andromeda's..."
- No, "psychotic rising star". - "A pervy, psychotic rising star".
- Gosh. - That's an actual line.
The dialog's really refreshing.
- It's very... - A new way to curse.
That's right. Ji A, my character,
is very unusual and different.
- Is she? - The way she thinks...
She curses like that but is still cute.
- She's adorable. - Yes.
- Gosh. - I think the viewers will like it.
- Will they? - It adds to the fun.
It's not easy to be adorable while you chew someone out.
Let's see what happens.
Ki Joon, you played a few of the worst villains in drama history.
We have high expectations of how...
you'll change for this drama.
I'm very childish.
- Childish? - Yes.
- Incredibly childish. - Really?
But you have to play a doctor...
- who's a genius. - Yes.
How do you manage to be childish?
- I can't imagine... - It's tough.
This is just...
- We just have to see for ourselves. - Yes.
We must all watch the first episode.
- December 6, right? - Yes.
(I Am Not a Robot)
- About Soo Bin. - Yes.
Don't you wear the same outfit when you're playing the robot?
- Yes. - It's very thin.
Should I say it's dark pink?
- It's a one-piece dress. - Yes.
That's the only thing I can wear,
and it's so cold without a jacket.
My goodness.
In the latter half of the drama,
Min Kyu buys her some clothes.
So it gets better.
You took some time out of the filming schedule...
- to speak with us. - Yes.
I heard that the scene you were...
just shooting involved you getting rained on.
This is the coldest day of the year.
And you got wet?
I got rained on more than she did.
It's a scene where Seung Ho's in the rain,
and I come up with an umbrella.
- He got a bit... - Very wet?
Soo Bin was wearing that dress we just talked about.
- The pink one-piece dress? - Yes.
- The thin one? - Yes.
I said something to her a while ago.
It was a cold day, and Soo Bin had to wear that pink dress.
She said she wore a few layers of thermal underwear,
so I jokingly said she looked bigger.
Because I'd said that, she didn't wear much today.
You can't say that to an actress.
- No, I meant... - How could you?
- I wanted to befriend her. - Of course.
I was just trying to joke around and be silly.
She wore much less today.
- On purpose? - No, it was a joke.
I jokingly said to him that...
I wore less today because he'd said I was fat last time.
It really bothered me.
- I felt terrible. - Don't. I was just joking.
- That's a relief. - No hard feelings, then.
- No. - Good, good.
- What a nice ending. - Long-lasting grudges are bad.
- You might fight. - It'll last a while.
When we're shooting,
- Seung Ho's really considerate. - He's famous for it.
He was wearing velvet when we were shooting during the day,
and that was really thin too.
I wore thermal underwear today. Did you?
- Today, yes. - Yes? Okay.
- Anyway, last time... - You're both even now.
Yes.
The hardest part for me...
is having to play Ji A and then Aji 3.
- Two roles. - Long hair then short hair.
- Even my makeup's different. - Oh dear.
Having to change...
is a challenge for me.
If you play two roles,
aren't you paid double?
No.
"No."
Ki Joon knows too well. That's not the case.
He's an expert at playing two roles.
Ki Joon knows you aren't paid double for playing two characters.
You're just one person, so you're paid for one person.
- What's the worst for you, Ki Joon? - The cold.
(So direct)
- I don't feel as cold as her. - Right.
- Watching her gives me strength. - Okay.
It's really cold.
The chemistry, the attraction with your costar is very important.
Soo Bin, compare your current flame and past flame.
Whom do you get along better with?
They're both charming in very different ways.
- That's true. - There's that,
and they're both so nice on set.
And they're both really good and experienced actors.
The common denominator is childishness.
That's actually true.
- We're childish. - Really?
I can't believe you all agree.
We know it's very difficult to choose...
1 person out of you 2.
To assist you, I brought along a special quiz.
It's the At The Same Time quiz.
(At The Same Time)
(I Am Not a Robot)
Let's see how you get along with Seung Ho.
- Let's do well. - Okay.
Ready?
JJajang, jjamppong, 1, 2, 3.
- Jjamppong. - Jjajang.
One wrong already.
Chicken, pizza, 1, 2, 3.
- Pizza. - Chicken.
It's hard to be consistently wrong.
Soccer, baseball, 1, 2, 3.
(How will it go this time?)
Soccer, baseball, 1, 2, 3.
- Base... - Soccer.
(Baseball, soccer)
One last question. This is the last one.
Apple, pear, 1, 2, 3.
- Apple. - Apple.
You got that one.
Did you try to get it right?
I heard her make the S sound for the Korean word "apple".
- They got one same answer. - How could it be?
That's funny.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Beer, soju, 1, 2, 3.
- Soju. - Beer.
- Awesome. - Are you doing it on purpose,
- Soo Bin? - I think so.
Cat, dog, 1, 2, 3.
- Dog. - Cat dog.
- What? - "Cat dog"?
- What did you say? - What did I say?
- "Cat dog"? Was that a cat? - Dog.
- Did you mean dog? - Yes.
You can mispronounce...
- when you rush. - Let's do another one.
Let's try it.
Summer, winter, 1, 2, 3.
- Summer. - Summer.
Gosh. Black, white, 1, 2, 3.
- White. - Black.
You answered differently.
Let's try one more.
Subway, bus, 1, 2, 3.
- Subway. - Bus.
You only got one same answer.
Let's just say that each individual works well with each other.
It's a little sad.
- Okay. - The scores are tied.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Let's take a look at "I Am Not a Robot"...
in depth based on related keywords.
We have to take a look at "robot" first...
because of the title.
Soo Bin, you play a robot.
You play a robot named Aji 3.
You have an operating mode and a friend mode.
It's not a function...
that Aji 3 has.
Ji A pretends to be a robot named Aji 3.
As she imitates a robot,
she makes mistakes.
That's where operating and friend mode came from.
Both are done by Ji A.
They were created in order to avoid risks.
- It's acting in another acting. - Right.
Can you explain the difference between the two?
In operating mode,
she says, "Yes, master. Would you like to do this?"
- This is how she talks. - It sounds mechanical.
In friend mode,
she acts casually like this.
- You act like a friend. - Yes.
She's quite intelligent as a robot.
It's obvious that she's acting,
but his character didn't have human relationships for 15 years.
- So he has no idea. - But he's serious.
- I see. - He's very serious.
Is that why it's childish?
Now, I can connect the dots.
What kind of robot would you like, Seung Ho?
I want a robot that washes me.
(My goodness)
- It's... - Why do you react this way?
What's going on?
- Soo Bin. - Did she choke...
- at the wrong time? - Here's why.
Actors usually come home late from work.
I see. I imagined other things.
- I see. - It was easy to misunderstand.
It's my mistake.
(Seung Ho needs a robot who will wash him every night.)
- I'm tired when I come home late. - Of course.
I'd like a robot who washes me at night,
- so I can fall sleep immediately. - It can remove makeup.
- Of course. - Remove makeup thoroughly.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Next related keyword is "golden spoon".
It's related to Seung Ho.
It could be related to Ki Joon.
You played a king in "The Emperor".
You play a man from a wealthy family.
Is there a reason why you play roles with power?
It can't be helped because you're a good actor.
He even agrees with me.
He accepts it.
We should accept since it's a fact.
Good job. He knows how to be funny.
You're so smart.
What do you think? If you play those roles,
won't it be challenging to play a character with difficulties?
The way I live now is the opposite of Min Kyu's.
- Is that so? - It's not luxurious.
It must be challenging because your real life is different...
from your character's.
Yes, it's the opposite. I can't live like Min Kyu.
- You can't? - His life is too difficult.

(He bursts out laughing.)
On the internet, many people worry about you, Ki Joon.
Seung Ho and Soo Bin are in their 20s.
Compared to them, Ki Joon is considered an elderly.
However, you don't seem...
- old at all. - I completely agree.
Don't you act like friends? How do you call him?
I used to address him as my senior.
He told me to be more casual.
Did he say the same to you? He told me that too.
He must say that all the time.
He messaged me to remind me.
(He confirmed it again via text.)
- "Okay, Ki Joon." - Do you call him by his name?
Seriously, I don't feel like...
- he's much older. - Right.
Not at all.
- He takes good care of himself. - Right.
He takes good care of us too.
Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal today.
That sounds great.
Do you feel any generational gap while talking?
- I felt it once. - What happened?
We were talking about carp bread.
What else was there in the past?
They didn't know what red bean bread was.
(He brings up red bean bread.)
- Red bean bread? - Red bean bread?
- That's funny. - I only heard about it.
They didn't know who Phoebe Cates was.
- Right? - Phoebe Cates?
- They didn't know. - How about Sophie Marceau?
I know her.
- They didn't know Phoebe Cates. - Really?
(I Am Not a Robot)
Next related keyword is "impossible to predict".
I know to whom it relates.
- Is it you? - Yes.
How did this phrase become related to you?
What's the reason?
My character is unique.
Her thinking is unique...
because she's an inventor.
One of her inventions is...
a cleaning outfit with fur.
It looks like an outfit for an alien.
She invents an outfit that allows you to clean while lying down.
She attaches a fan...
- to a cup of noodles. - What?
You don't need to blow on the noodles. She's an inventor.
- That's funny. - Her thinking is quite unique.
She's a character that's impossible to predict.
I also mentioned that she can be vulgar.
She's also described as an unpredictable gamecock.
Yes.
Is she good at fighting? Does she start fights?
She doesn't get into physical fights.
She verbally attacks sometimes.
Her first meeting with Min Kyu takes place in a fighting scene.
Really?
She's a troublemaker. Her behavior is beyond imagination.
She's impossible to predict. I can't wait to see her.
Next related keyword is "love triangle".
By looking at these three,
it's easy to predict a love triangle, right?
- She's Ki Joon's ex-girlfriend. - Right.
Isn't it correct?
Does your character...
make an effort to get back with her?
- Yes, he does. - Is that so?
Aren't you also a great singer, Ki Joon?
- Does he sing for you? - I saw his musical.
- Wasn't it amazing? - He was really great.
You fall in love with him immediately.
- Are you getting ready to sing? - I caught a cold.
Is there something you can do better than Seung Ho?
I give up.
He's so clear. I knew it.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
He's also impossible to predict.
According to what I heard,
someone claims that...
it's love among four people instead.
I heard she's here with us.
- Where is she? - Where are you?
- Goodness. - Hello.
- It's Hwang Seung Eon. Welcome. - Hello.
Could you introduce yourself?
Hello, I play Ye Ri El...
in I Am Not a Robot. I'm Hwang Seung Eon.
It's nice to meet you.
[VIU Ver] E01 I'm Not a Robot Preview Episode -= Ruo Xi =-
Long time no see, Min Kyu.
Long time no see.
Ye Ri El.
Am I more mature than before?
Who are you to claim that it's love among four people?
I play a character...
- who is Min Kyu's first love. - Really?
It was in the past, but our relationship...
could start again. That's why I'm here.
This is getting more interesting.
Since this is a romcom,
there must be kissing scenes, right?
Yes, there's one toward the end.
The end? You haven't shot it yet?
- No, not yet. - I see.
There are many kissing scenes during the first shoot.
- Really? - Yes.
- Is that not the case? - No.
It's better than slapping.
Slapping during the first shoot?
- A slap during the first shoot. - Right.
There can be slapping during the first shoot.
- I had one before. - Right?
- Yes. - See?
- Was it during your last drama? - No.
- Was it before that? - Yes.
Do you have kissing scenes, Seung Eon?
I heard that there's one during today's shoot.
Is it true, Seung Ho?
Goodness.
He has no idea.
I heard that he's preparing a lot for the kissing scene.
- Really? - I did prepare for it.
Goodness.
- I... - How shall he put it?
That's...
Find out by watching if it happens or not.
- That was a great comment. - Goodness.
- She knows what to say. - She sounds...
like the host.
She's the talk of the town after being on variety shows.
Her comments are shocking.
- I'll be quiet. - It's okay.
- I didn't mean to say it. - Please continue.
Does your partner...
often make your heart flutter while acting together?
Has this happened while shooting I Am Not a Robot?
He's so handsome.
Sometimes,
I stare at him because he's so handsome.
We all agree.
That's totally true.
Seung Ho, you must feel the same.
- Soo Bin's so pretty. - She is.
She's usually very...
cute and sweet.
- Is she? - Yes.
And for me,
working with someone younger than me...
- as a partner... - That's true.
- It was a rare occurrence. - It's odd to have her call me.
(Being an older guy)
It's nice in a way.
- It's nice, isn't it? - Look at him.
- I'll call you "big bro" too. - Don't.
Big bro.
Don't do that.
That's just wrong.
When a senior tells me to stop, I listen.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Can you describe this drama in five words?
(Describe the drama)
Right up your alley. Way.
Drama to change my life.
Very great.
I Am Not a Robot.
Watch before you judge.
(Watch before you judge)
Watch before you judge. That's a good one.
Please watch.
This is the very last question.
Say something to the viewers who are waiting at home.
When it's cold outside, you need a fun...
and sweet drama you can watch in your warm homes.
This will be it.
It starts soon, so please watch.
I'm working hard to be the cheerful oddball...
that adds to the fun of things.
The drama starts soon, so I hope you'll watch.
We're working hard in the freezing weather.
It's fun. Please watch.
It'll excite you and make your heart pound...
like the first snow, so don't miss it.
That was our interview with the stars of I Am Not a Robot.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(I Am Not a Robot)
What to remember when watching I Am Not a Robot.
The unique subject material about a robot.
(Unique subject material)
Is anyone there?
Are you Mr. Kim Min Kyu?
This drama is...
a combination of a unique subject and the romcom genre.
What stands out the most is, of course, the robot.
- I said get rid of her! - I am not a human.
The birth of the AI robot that looks like a human...
and has human emotions was special.
(Chroma key compositing)
Aji 3 is a character never before seen on Korean television...
and was a joint creation with American...
engineers and computer graphics.
Because there's an extra...
post-production stage to add graphics to the video footage,
it requires more practice...
and very detailed, delicate shooting.
Ready. Cue.
At first, I wondered if...
my robot character should sound stiff and electronic.
I thought about it.
Then the director said that if I sounded too electronic,
that could actually be off-putting.
At first glance, I should look like a human,
but as a robot, I don't have emotions.
So when Ji A talks,
anger, sadness, irritation...
All that comes through.
Aji 3 is just a machine minus all the emotions,
but she still speaks like a human.
Once we decided to take that approach,
acting Aji 3 wasn't too difficult.
The reason I Am Not a Robot sounds exciting.
- Over here. - This way?
It's because the director is Jung Dae Yoon whose...
previous works are "She Was Pretty" and "W".
Action. Action.
(Director Jung Dae Yoon)
The computer graphics...
that made it possible for "W" to go from webtoon to real life...
will improve the visual effects...
when it comes to bringing a robot to life.
Okay, let's do it.
A romantic comedy about a robot...
with Jung Dae Yoon's sensational directing...
and some actors who are known for their great acting.
It's one fantastic collaboration.
That's why we look forward to watching I Am Not a Robot.
Cut, okay.
(I Am Not a Robot)
Welcome.
This is my first romcom.
Onion tears.
It's my first too.
This time, it's a romcom.
You don't believe me? It's true.
(The actors' transformation)
The second thing to keep in mind...
is how the actors transformed.
(Yoo Seung Ho appeared in "The Emperor")
A department that is torturing the people...
was established because of me?
I will come with you.
Sheathe your sword.
In "The Emperor", Yoo Seung Ho excelled as a young man...
who becomes a strong crown prince.
(He became a strong, seasoned actor with this role.)
Isn't this his first romantic comedy?
That's right, it's my first romcom.
But rather than exaggerate and force...
the viewers to laugh,
I want to play a guy who's serious but has a lot of weaknesses.
That's the kind of character that I think...
will make the viewers snort and smirk.
I'm the only one who's really serious on set.
I'm not thinking that I'm shooting a romantic comedy.
I'm just...
playing Min Kyu who's very afraid.
He may seem fearless and cold,
but he's soft-hearted...
and easily scared. Acting that character...
makes me and the others...
giggle unwittingly.
(Getting along well with his costar)
He gets along well with his costar,
and that makes everyone watching from the sidelines smile.
He's also very pretty to look at.
It's done.
(He's pretty to look at.)
We got it.
Gosh.
That feels good.
You're so handsome.
He looked at me with clear eyes...
that I'd never seen before.
I found myself wondering, "What's this?"
My heart skipped a beat.
His glances get sweeter with each episode,
and you'll also get to see the bright and funny Seung Ho.
(Don't miss it!)
It's my first too.
That is so stupid.
I know, but what could I do? I like you so much.
(In "The Rebel", Soo Bin played...)
(Hong Gil Dong's love interest, Ga Ryung.)
I actually...
wanted to...
introduce him to you.
In "The Rebel", Soo Bin played a sweet girl...
who became strong, vengeful, and emotional.
Her multi-faceted acting showed she's a force to be reckoned with.
(Multi-faceted, strong acting)
I will not sit by.
Okay.
What a temper.
Let's move backwards.
For this drama, Soo Bin has to master two roles,
so she's always practicing.
Even off camera, she's always full of energy.
I get here really early in the morning,
and we shoot until late, and I should be exhausted.
Because all of the scenes are so fun,
I get excited and upbeat when I shoot.
It's a lot of fun.
Give me back my money!
You lunatic.
You have no conscience. You scumbag!
(Cursing comes to her so naturally.)
From the rude Ji A to a robot.
She's expanding her spectrum of roles with a great charm.
(Talking like a robot)
Please use me well.
Ready... Action.
I got it all at once.
(Different characters, unexpected charms)
Cut.
With her two roles in this upcoming drama,
we're sure Soo Bin will become the next queen of romantic comedies.
You'll get to see it soon.
Lastly, it's the trustworthy actor, Um Ki Joon.
Where are you?
(He played a very scary role in "Innocent Defendant".)
The prosecution even came to the office.
I don't know.
He's no longer a villain.
He's now playing a role of a genius robot scientist.
(He shows off his charms with his sweet charisma.)
You can't do that.
I'm finally...
starring in a romantic comedy drama after 8 or 9 years.
I'm not killing anyone this time.
I hope you enjoy the drama.
And please show a lot of interest and love.
(Sometimes, he's nonchalant.)
Cut.
(And sometimes, he's lovely.)
How... How is it hard for you to understand?
He used to be the cruelest villain ever.
But this time, he's acting...
in a romantic comedy that will make you burst in laughter.
You can check his acting by watching the drama.
(I Am Not a Robot)
(They have to retake the scene because the box stood still.)
- That was too subtle. - How cute.
(She makes a mistake again by only being loud.)
(This time, she used all her might and succeeded.)
- Okay. - Good job.
(Is she doing squats?)
Okay, okay.
Was that okay?
Cut. Okay, that was nice.
One more time?
Wait.
What? This isn't cold?
(Seung Ho puts in his all to act out this scene.)
(He's keeping his body warm.)
Cut.
Good job, everyone.
Okay.
- That was great. - Are you okay?
- Yes. - You can take the wig off.
- Thank you, everyone. - Great work.
- Thank you. - See you.
We're having an ice cream party.
That's right. We're going to clean up today.
This wig is killing me.
Can you see this?
Ki Joon told you that the wig helps your face look small.
She already has a small face.
The weather's getting really cold.
I hope this drama will help you feel warm.
I hope you love our drama, I Am Not a Robot.
Bye.
How did you enjoy seeing the preview of I Am Not a Robot?
Are you looking forward to watching it? Me too.
The actors and staff...
are all working really hard in this cold weather...
in order to present a fun and cheerful drama to you all.
MBC's miniseries, I Am Not a Robot, airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
I hope a lot of you watch the first episode that airs next week.
