Outside of the above it's a cute little drama that doesn't have major annoyances. It's solid, fairly chill entertainment. The reason why it's only a 7 is that there is nothing outstanding either, nothing really stands out. It's just a standard kdrama with a scifi spin. (The love triangle is resolved in a fairly acceptable way and it never devolved to the swords and daggers drawn type. )

Ending is bittersweet
The drama is so annoying with the FL for me, I felt she was very selfish. She was in love with three men at the same time!!!! What kind of nonsense lonely human being is she? I am not jealous or anything, I just didn't find her emotions very realistic. I prefer the realtionship of Holo and it's owner. I was very sad for Holo and his departure, I seriously cried so much for atleast an hour. It touched my heart, I have never cried at a drama before, I miss Holo, I think I fell in love with his character just like the FL. The ML acted very nicely, so good, that I want a Holo for myself and I hope he remains a great memory for me as well.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx T-T HOLO SARANGHAEEEEEEE <3 Forever xxxxxxxx

unique tropes and dialogue
this is one of the most unique kdrama i’ve watched. honestly, i have never seen other kdramas that were similar to this one.let’s go in depth about the characters. the FL is way too clingy and annoying, which is why i dislike her. when the ML was pretending to be HOLO and the FL found out, was it that big of a deal that she got mad? another thing i hate, is that the FL acts like she made HOLO. true, she owned HOLO for quite some time, but that was only because of an inconvenience. when the ACTUAL owner wanted HOLO back, she refused to give it. i don’t know why, but i got pissed because of that. now, let’s talk about the ML. the ML is very likable. that’s all i have to say. his acting is really good, and i love how he portrayed the character go nan-do in this series.
what i like about this show is that there isn’t really a “love triangle.” HOLO and the ML are literally the same people, except for the fact that HOLO is an AI and acts more professional. HOLO felt uncomfortable while going on “dates” with the FL because he’s loyal to his actual owner, aka best friend (ML). it’s sad how something that’s not even a human being has more common sense than one.
overall, i could rewatch this show many times and still wouldn’t get bored. i definitely recommend watching this!

A gem for sci-fi romantic comedy kdrama lovers
I watched this unique drama when it first came out and I did not have any expectations for it. But wow this one is definitely a hidden gem. If you like sci-fi/romantic comedy kdramas then you NEED to watch this one. First of all I loved the storyline, I swooned over Nan Do, I think Yoon Hyun Min is a wonderful actor and his duality between the two different characters was very well done. I loved Nan Do and So Yeon's chemistry and their growth as individual characters, I loved their differences as characters. This drama made me laugh, cry, and feel warmth. Definitely a gem on netflix in their kdrama category!Was this review helpful to you?
I ended up loving this and it's definitely in a top spot for me, and I will probably rewatch this multiple times.
I loved all the characters and the acting was well done.
I felt this had a very fast paced story line (maybe because it was only 12 episodes it was forced) but I loved the pace, one of my biggest complaints with Dramas is they tend to sometimes drag/get drawn out too much, but this did not have that problem.
On top of all that I absolutely loved the music and ended up having to find the soundtrack to listen to in my free time.
Overall a fun, fast paced show, that I think is very rewatchable! :)

Engaging and fun, should be watched mindlessly
I'm not into A. I type of drama but this got me hooked before I even know. The production is great as expected because it is a Netflix original. The whole drama was roughly fast-paced. Some aspects and occurrences were not explained and were left hanging. The whole plot doesn't also make sense – even the characters' behavior. The female character wasn't likable though I'm not sure if it's because of the actress or the character itself. However, all in all it was entertaining and very very fun to watch.Was this review helpful to you?

A really good short 12-episode drama. Both leads have a traumatic backstory that is relevant to the plot. So-yeon and Nan-do are so cute together. They have great chemistry and created sweet and funny moments. It's so sweet how he looks at her and comforts her. So-yeon thinks she is not worthy of loving or being loved because of her condition. Nando tells her... "You hate your flaws but those things are what I find special about you. The fact that we are imperfect is what let us meet in the first place." Awwwww!So-yeon falling in love with holo is believable. Holo is so dependable! I didn't like that manager that she had a crush on, he was too short for her... lol
I love Nan-do and Holo's relationship! They interact just like real friends. It's fun to watch, like he is arguing with himself. Even Nan-do loves Holo, he sacrificed himself so that Holo can live and be with So-yeon. I love that in the end, Holo did not betray Nan-do. Holo was truly designed to be Nan-do's friend.
The love tri-angle was awkward. I didn't believe Holo can love, but we all can love Holo. I have to say, I liked this so much better than the drama I’m Not a Robot. There are only 12 episodes, no dragging and no replays or flashbacks. The story flowed very well. It was so sad to see little Nan-do crying waiting for his mom. The romance was such a slow burn... the leads always gave me the doki doki feels when they're together!
I watched this 3x already. I love the OST Love again, it's so soothing!

Oh you must watch
AI love, teaching humans the true value. Knowing how to teach life skills, to fall deep and not knowing how to turn away. This show showed much sacrifice, enduring and love. The cast played their parts very well and believable. I have been watching both Korean and Chinese shows. I have very little command of both languages, any great show can grab the viewer and keep them watching. This show will pull you in and keep you asking for more. You feel heartbroken when the show ends. Wanting another 3 or 4 seasons.Was this review helpful to you?
I want more! I want holo!
At first I was just, Wow, something new and intriguing. Then I was like, Woah, I love Holo! And then it ended, I want more. Netflix? Please?Not a perfect drama. I was kind of tired with dramas where the lead have face blindness or someone with PTSD. Like? Again? But I still tried because the plot piques my curiosity.
3 things t to love:
1. Holo! Would have been nice if Holo is real. But yeah, there are a lot of issues which was also tackled in the drama. And still not so ideal. But with growing technologies and with advancement in Korea maybe this will be the future.
2. Plot, witty writer. They made it so realistic that you wouldn't question some scenes that doesn't makes sense. Got to used some of my brain cells. Haha
3. Nando! I fell in love with Yoon Hyun Min. Well, who wouldn't?
There are some Kdrama cliches like the FL and ML knew each other when they were children. Like, yeah. As always. I'm also quite confused how, why and when did the ML fell in love with the FL as it is quite unclear and kind of rush. Maybe they should have created/ added a more realistic scene to explain how and when but, okay, since the Chemistry is there I'll just let it slip.
Anyway, I don't know why it's not as popular as other dramas but this one is still better compared to other overrated dramas in 2020.
I know it is a mini series and they planned it to have 12 episodes only but I feel like I need more of it.

But I'm getting drained in watching these dramas when the screenwriter makes the female character so unbearably self-unsure about herself to become so demeaning and rude in half of the episodes. I just want to put my hand through my screen to grab the female character and just shake her... screaming cut the crap out! uggh... I guess for me that would make the female main lead very believable and so she did a great job of being a demeaning and rude female. That's all I have to say about this drama.

Masterpiece at its finest
WOW. Can you hear it? I'm clapping. As long as I can remember this is the first kdrama that had me crying by episode 3. My Holo Love is no joke, it has this special 'something' which had me hooked since episode one till the very end - I couldn't stop watching, it's so damn addictive.I'm bowing down to the writer, actors/actresses and everyone who took a part in creating this marvelous piece of work. Everything blends together smoothly. One thing is connected to another and the story makes a perfect sense - no plot holes you'd wonder about.
Would I recommend this kdrama? Yes, yes, yes! Leave everything and get into watching My Holo Love right now. It's a love at first episode ;)

Somewhat in the episode, I began to make my own theory, and I was amazed that it was true. I'm amazed by Hyun-Min's acting. Since he is acting two characters, I can see the difference and it was nice. Since Nan-Do does not smile like HOLO, I'm always amused by his smile. It's so cute, and he looks younger whenever he acts as HOLO. At first, when I keep seeing 'My Holo Love' trailer on NETFLIX, they look different. They don't look like the same person. And still, whenever I see his face at a different angle, he looks like a different person. Some look like Rain, Hyun Bin, etc.
I am still honoured to watch this drama, it may not be as good as the previous drama that I watched but the creativity and plot were amusing. I just wish there was more romance, I'm really into Cliche, Clingy romance but I still love the interaction between the two main casts. Their chemistry and acts.
I would like to see more of Hyun-Min's acting in the future. Plus, Sung-Hee is also waw <3 I've watched her as a supporting character and this drama really shows that she can be the main character now. <3
