satalasers Super enjoyable!
- Never seen face blindness before? IDK how accurate it is, but like? If the cause was always psychological, then it does make sense that with the origin of it being resolved that So-Yeon no longer has it.
- I actually really liked the romance in this one? I know it might come across as shallow, but Han So-Yeon initially falling for her friend, only to fall for the AI, Holo, because she's lonely and desperate, and then to realize that actually, she's in love with Go Nan-Do because *he's* the one she has an actual connection with and understands him, it just. It worked for me.
- Which is weird, because sometimes I am like, hey, I want the main character to fall for the robot/AI (hence why I liked Are You Human Too?; although I'm the opposite with Absolute Boyfriend)..(I know it's implied Riiko ends up with Soshi, but I wish it wasn't because she chose Night first, and he was dead because they actually slept together.
- This one made sense to me though because So-Yeon was lonely so she wanted affection from anyone, anything. So her falling for Holo was sad, but I understood how she just longed for a connection, and Holo was so nice and sweet to her.
- What a fantastic dual acting btw! The actor for Nan-Do and Holo were so different, it really felt like they were being played by two separate actors.
- Also, apparently people disliked the title when it's like? It's so obviously about Nan-Do and So-Yeon loving Holo, and him loving them right back. Holo was built to be Nan-Do's friend, and Nan-Do tries hard to look out for him. Holo is loved by So-Yeon, and Holo loves her right back! You might make an argument that actually Holo only loves So-Yeon because he's learned off her behaviour, but I do honestly believes that he cared an awful amount for both these two people, and wanted them to be happy.
- The beta couple were cute! I thought it was a bit suspicious, but actually? Baek Chan-Sung gradually gaining a conscious and falling for Go Yoo-Jin was honestly really sweet, by the end! I'm definitely a sucker for that trope to be fair, and I liked tat Yoo-Jin got mad at him for taking advantage of her, and using her, before he worked hard at being forgiven. (Also his dad was awful.)
- TBH, the corporate stuff didn't work for me? Didn't particularly care for the villain, although oh man, I didn't think Nan-Do's mother got murdered at all until they told me that was the case, and that it featured the reason why So-Yeon began to develop face blindness.
- I liked So-Yeon and Nan-Do's romance! I enjoyed them being childhood friends reunited once again. and sure, maybe it could have been a little more developed, but I also thought it went at a nice pace. (It was at least, leaps ahead than the corporate stuff.)
9/10. It was charming, and I enjoyed it a lot.
