I was expecting this to be a futuristic ROMANCE flick, focused primarily on the excitement and challenges of falling in love. And while it did start down that path initially, before we could get into the "meat" of the trio's relationship, the plot changed gears, evolving instead into a suspenseful tech THRILLER. After that, the romance took a backseat to the corporate intrigue.

As may be expected of Netflix, this production is technically slick with plenty of low-key special effects, a nice soundtrack and some decent action scenes/car chase stunts. If you have seen "Memories of the Alhambra," I would say this has a similar flavor (minus the gaming). Lee Ki Chan also did a great job of portraying two polar opposite personalities and acting to green screen. The manga-like plot, though not especially original, was still interesting enough and started strong.

Unfortunately, about halfway through, some obvious plot holes began to appear, and the last 2-3 episodes had to rush to accommodate all the necessary twists and turns for a happy ending. On the other hand, the faster pacing also neatly tied up most of the loose ends, so at least there's that.

All in all, if you go for light, family-friendly fantasy/sci-fi romance stories that don't require much basis in reality, this will probably be right up your alley. Recommended.

ROMANCE RATING: 7/10 I can't speak for others, but considering that this is being marketed as a romance film, it would have been nice if the love stories with both Holo and Nan Do were a little more fleshed out. All the necessary scenes were there, but somehow, I just kept expecting...more. Like looking at the rough sketch of a picture, or only reading every other line in a book (though you may disagree).

Aside from that nitpick, as far as actual chemistry goes, I thought the main leads had good compatibility. It was a little disappointing that we didn't get to see much of the kisses (2+ scenes) when they actually happened, but by K-drama standards, I would consider them acceptable.

It's a good show. Clearly not a masterpiece, but it's still solid for what it is. Don't go into it thinking the AI concept is going to have you up all night pondering the future. This show isn't like that and didn't intend to be like that. Anyways.. Many people are giving this a 5 or 6 and saying they quit watching after 4 or 5 episodes. It's predictable in many ways, but if you watch it without obsessively searching for errors, then it's likely you'll enjoy it like a did.

This show is a bit on the slim side but overall is an enjoyable "tech" fantasy. Found the romances predictable as well as the villians and could see the plot twists way ahead of the characters. Regardless, it's an entertaining piece of fluff populated with some of my favorite Korean supporting actors and actresses.

One of the best Kdramas I've seen. I got hooked from the very episode and finished the series in less than days. Very well written plot, even with cliches, makes it worth while and the diverse modern touch to it. Nan-Do is one of the best layered characters I've seen, the painful past that was revealed in flashbacks, the way you grown into him, as well to Holo, and want to see both of them happy. And the plottwist you don't see coming, wrapping the end with the post way possible, making you cry tears or joy and sadness at the same time. I totally recommend watching. And I will totally be rewatching this series.

I watched this in a day. It's soooo good. It made me feel part of the story, the actors are amazing, the plot and storyline is innovative and great. Such a good drama. I hope Netflix will make a season 2

" My Holo Love " was an AI love story done right.

The plot had many leyers, with not only the romance, but the past mystery, the family dynamics and the business drama. The CGI were pretty great too, which helped the drama a lot, as bad CGI would have ruined the whole atmosphere the drama was trying to pull off. The male lead was amazing too, as he managed the two characters perfectly, creating romantic leads with both of them, even though they were perfect opposites. I would have liked if they had explored Holo's and the guy's relationship. The second couple was interesting too and they had nice chemistry. The female lead was cute, but she was annoying at some point, though she got better towards the ending. Finally, the ending was quite satisfying.

I finished this show in 2 days, and it didn't disappoint, its a beauty. I believe Korean doesn't stop creating and entertaining

Had enough after 6 episodes and honestly struggled after the 4th one, for me a 6 is being kind and i dint finish it so thats it.Never going to understand how people rate this a 10, plenty of KD that make this look amateur

ATM im at episode 8, its really hard to watch further. ep from 1-4 was nice, enjoyable. Then it went downhill, time after time the same bs. its like the author wants to play with your feet. No firm storyline whatsoever, it is a boring melodrama, they dragged things for way too long. Nothing makes sense on an irritating level. The personality of the lead actress is slappable, it makes me angry. Weirdly stupid likes she owns the glasses and the IA? Its not worth to watch unless you want to be annoyed and irritated. It is a melodrama for the younger audience.

This is my second korean drama in lockdown. It is dubbed in English. I am so glad that I have found it. It would be one of my favourite movie for all time. The drama is cute , sweet and romantic....

What a fintastic show this is. Speacialy emotions of the actors. Very nice direction. You are going to fall in love with the show. Everyone should watch it one time.

Enjoyed it enough the first time that a year later I watched it again. Didn't quite hold up as well the 2d time. Usually my rating of TV goes up with the second watching, probably only 30-40% get a second watching; and then there are the gems that can be watched over and again-

I enjoy Korean romance dramas, their sensibility around family and love are so different than Americans, at least portrayed on TV, though I did have confirmation of this when I had the chance of working in S Korea for 3 months around 2001. My impression was they were somewhat like American culture in the 40's and 50's, not as worldish as we all are now, and with a very strong family system where you were expected by one and all to be married early, ideally by your mid-20s.

Anyway- the over-dramatization of feelings, much as we'd characterize in this country as being childish, is more the norm in these S Korean dramas, esp for the women, so no problem there, I'm used to it and like seeing this different cultural take of vulnerability. But it did get on my nerves a bit watching it the second time, the main female lead was even more childish than ever, lost interest a bit there, but I suppose with the story being what it was, that wasn't inconsistent with the traumas both of the leads under went.

It was 12 episodes, it could have easily and more dramatically been done in 6-8 episodes. I often bemoan how movies will overly condense a story and appreciate the long form of TV episodes. But in this case the story and unfolding didn't have enough depth to warrant 12 full episodes, I began losing interest as it went on and on.

Chairman Baek was right out of mythology, he played the villain well, his face an almost cartoonish mask of greed and raw power. Most S Korean dramas I've seen have portrayed the corruption of the top firms, which makes for a good anchor point, though it's become a worn out trope using the seemingly endless squads of goons that show up every time.

Also enjoyed the advanced tech, esp one designed to look out and care for the end user. We're not terribly far from what was shown, perhaps 5 years? I look forward to an always with me digital assistant and companion! Someone to talk to, share problems with, learn from, etc. Etc. I found the movie HER very moving. Hopefully these shows will give the tech industry some bright ideas!

It was definitely a good watch. After watching Memories of Alhambra and now this. I really understand explaining the limits of technology and the power of imagination in paper and pen is so much more difficult than what it looks like. But the cast did an amazing job. Even with smaller roles to play each of the supporting roles were so strong in character. It was funny, romantic and a bit of thriller make the mix so much good. And one of the best ending as well. And definitely doesn't leave you feeling miserable.

A brilliant story to watch, loved this series would definitely recomend this

I enjoyed it very much. May people think it is the same old drama but, it really isn't. It was light and ended bittersweetly. At first I would admit it was a bit hard to watch, because it was a bit slow for my taste, but later you get to appreciate all the characters and understand that each and everyone of them has a story and you learn to love all of them. Many people weren't interested in the whole sci-fi and AI concept, but I think they play it very well. Also people were talking about how they didn't contact the police after the incident in the first episode, but Yoo-jin did say that the police just thought it was hackers, and you can see it discussed in the first episode. Personally people should learn to love this drama more and look at it as a whole. I loved the characters, the chemistry, and the cinematography (it was fresh and nice to look at). I want to personally give a shout out to Yoon Hyun-min (the actor who plays both Holo and Ko Nan-do) for making both characters personalities different. You could really tell who was who. If you sit down and you watch the whole thing without looking at individual mistakes, you too can love it as much as I did.

It looks this serie is written for children, the characters act like they are 10 instead of 30. The storyline is oké but I have the feeling I am watching a Walt Disney film, maybe it is typical Korean. So it is nice but it could have been a lot better, no way this is almost a 8, I would say max 6,5.

This was the best. Ignore people saying about plot holes etc. Go watch a documentary if you want everything to be plausible. Just enjoy the story! The cast were all good actors, especially being able to play two different people so well. 100% recommend.

Best drama ever! Especially when yoon hyun min was the main cast. So cute!!!!
