Nam Shin III is the most precious cinnamon roll in the world. And people stay hating So Bong but I love that she's got some grit. Mods, I'm literally useless, thanks for your patience. ;A;

I've only caught the first two episodes so far, but I'm surprised by how good Seo Kang Joon portrays his two characters?!

I wish they were more clear about what So Bong’s motivation was, it doesn’t make any sense for her to be so money hungry that she’d risk a good job. I’m glad she is starting to feel a little guilty about her behavior.
I love Nam Shin III, he’s so pure. I hope Mom doesn’t abandon him, it would be too cruel after she programmed him to love her. I’m glad he’s learning and adopting quickly to his new environment.
Why is grandpa such abusive trash?
I love the actor that is playing Seo, he’s good in everything.
Seo Kang Joon’s acting is better than I expected. I like how clearly he differentiates the two characters.
Gong Seung Yeon deserves a hit drama.

Thanks for the post OP! I haven't seen 7-8 yet but I'm really enjoying it so far! Not liking the main girl character at all right now, but my love of adorable precious robot boy far surpasses that. I was also surprised at how well SKJ is doing in portraying two separate characters--you can tell at a glance which character he is and that's impressive to me. Nam Shin III befriending the Roomba was my favorite part of this drama so far.

I really like the mom so far, I love how smart she is and I'm ready for her to do some scheming. I laugh that she never modified his "hug when crying" feature to just be for her because now he's just out there hugging whoever. I like secretary guy, but I like him in everything. I'm waiting for him to get more of an individual storyline. I'm hoping So Bong gets some positive character development stat, otherwise I'll just ignore her. Human Nam Shin can just stay in his coma forever (don't kick out robot boy! I'm already sad for his future)
