Are You Human? (Season 1)

Are You Human? (너도 인간이니, 2018) is a South Korean sci-fi romance series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Seo Kang-joon and Gong Seung-yeon.

Nam Shin, heir to a powerful Korean conglomerate, falls into a coma after an accident. His mother — a leading AI researcher — responds by activating her life's work: an android named Nam Shin III, built to look and move exactly like her son. The robot steps into the boardroom, the penthouse, and the family drama while the real man lies unconscious. Bodyguard Kang So-bong, a former MMA fighter hired to keep the secret, quickly realises the android is more straightforward than any human she has ever protected.

The show gets a lot of mileage from flipping the usual premise: the robot here has no agenda, no greed, no manipulation — which makes him oddly more human than the executives scheming around him. Seo Kang-joon handles both versions of the character with enough distinction that you forget they share a face. Stream all episodes of Are You Human? (2018) on iFILM.
