The drama 'Are You Human?' featuring actors Gong Seung Yeon and Seo Kang Joon, which aired in the past, is currently receiving renewed attention due to the advent of the artificial intelligence (AI) era. This drama explores the story of an AI robot that is more human than humans themselves, and a passionate bodyguard, raising questions about human values and the convenience of robots.
'Are You Human?' was a KBS2 Monday-Tuesday drama that aired in 2018. Seo Kang Joon played a dual role as the AI robot Namshin and the human Namshin, while Gong Seung Yeon portrayed his bodyguard, Kang So Bong. The two actors displayed excellent chemistry in the series, even receiving a Best Couple Award. The drama conveyed profound messages by contrasting the relationship between robots and humans, and human greed versus robotic purity.
Bloggers note that despite being an 8-year-old production, 'Are You Human?' feels even more compelling now, aligning with current AI technological advancements. The narrative of a robot more human than humans and its protector is particularly relevant in today's AI era. The drama is available for re-watching on OTT platforms such as WAVVE.
