Do you like robot romance K-dramas? If so, then check out our list of the top Korean series about cyborgs, robots, holograms, or artificial intelligence (whatever you want to call it). They’ve got everything you could ask for: romance, comedy, fantasy, drama, and action!

This web series centers on the story of a robot from the future who starts living with a philosophy student. The college student tries his best to find her calling, purpose of life, and employment. Will the robot help the girl on her path and will she appreciate his efforts?

If you are looking for a robot romance K-drama but don’t want to dedicate yourself to a great number of episodes, “109 Strange Things” is a perfect choice for you. It’s a short miniseries with 6 episodes, 13 minutes each. Certainly, it’s too short to fully explore deep themes or show character growth. However, it’s cute, entertaining, and charming in its own way. Although the TV show reveals the themes of robot philosophy and finding the right career path, it is sweet and humorous. Obviously, you can’t expect such a short watch to be without any plot holes. However, you probably won’t mind them in this series. 

Here’s another short drama on our list of the top robot romance K-dramas! Similar to the previous series on the list, “Bong Soon – a Cyborg In Love” is fluffy, entertaining, and is great for those who don’t have time to delve into lengthy masterpieces. 

The K-drama focuses on a beautiful cyborg girl programmed to shut down when love is identified in her heart. Because of this unheard peculiar programming, she can’t allow herself to feel love. One day, the cyborg meets a genius programmer. Despite the strange built-in function of the robot, he doesn’t want to give up on his love and starts writing the code for romance.

Filled with heartbreaking love and loneliness, this Korean series revolves around an artificially intelligent hologram and a lonely woman. They are destined to meet one day. He is the actual owner of a research company but only a few special people are aware of his existence. She is a meticulous manager at a glasses company but she is unable to recognize faces and has no personal life. How these two will meet and what it will lead to?

“My Holo Love” (also called “Me Alone and You”) is not an average Korean series. If you are not looking for a story about the usual lives that we live (well, you probably aren’t if you are looking for a robot romance K-drama), then this is an ideal show for you. It will be great for anyone seeking a sci-fi romance fix and unpredictable plot twists.

Not only it’s about artificial intelligence, but it also has the same actor playing two roles! One a human and the second one a hologram. It will be extremely difficult for you to decide which one of these two lead characters to support. 

Moreover, you will hardly find another Korean drama where someone with facial blindness interacts with artificial intelligence. This show helps us to see how A.I. can be used for good or evil. Unlike all the previous robot romance K-dramas in the article, this one is neither short nor long. Because it has 12 episodes, you won’t feel that it is boring or rushed. 

Based on the manga “Absolute Boyfriend” written by Zettai Kareshi, the K-drama tells the story of a robot programmed to be an ideal boyfriend. One day, the humanoid robot meets a woman who has broken up with her boyfriend. She has been dating him for seven years, so it’s extremely difficult for her, and she is not fully healed yet. However, the robot she meets suddenly starts to experience human emotions and have a crush on her! Thus, he finds himself in a love triangle with his crush and her ex-boyfriend. 

If you like the idea of a charming robot designed to be a dating companion enthusiastically clinging to a girl, then you should check out this sci-fi romantic comedy! You will be glued to the screen rooting for the lonely robot and a human girl he falls in love with. However, this is one of the longest robot romance K-dramas on the list. Thus, it has some slower-paced episodes.

The story of this Asian robot rom-com centers on a cyborg tasked to parent a child. The man who creates the machine designs it in the image of his dead wife. To learn what the cyborg woman is capable of, he asks her to become a parent to his son and deal with all school affairs. However, the school where his son is studying isn’t a regular one. It’s a highly competitive institution for children from wealthy Korean families. There, she must find a common language with other moms. The cyborg mom even enrolls in a closed club for high-status members of the school. 

Make sure you don’t miss “Borg Mom” if you think you would like to watch the rom-com about a perfect robot mom who solves any problem and always does the right thing. 

Here’s a series with an unbelievable plot. Well, all the dramas on this list are about artificial intelligence, and somewhat crazy, but this one seems to be even more than that. The thing is that one of the male leads is allergic to humans. Quite crazy, isn’t it? However, it adds an interesting twist to the story. 

Because of childhood trauma, the rich guy is trapped within the walls of his big house. Since he hasn’t had normal interactions with people for more than fifteen years, he is glad to test a new robot, the latest invention. One of the interesting things in this series is that the robot is designed after the professor’s ex-girlfriend! Hence, it can easily be mistaken for a human girl and vice versa. Due to a sudden accident, the robot’s battery gets broken. As a result, a human girl takes place of a robot and is sent to the house of the allergic guy. 

One of the best Korean rom-coms, “I’m Not a Robot” is about a simple romantic story that is easy to watch (but not without some unbelievable twists). Check it out if you like when characters slowly, gradually develop feelings for each other. 

This robot/human romance reveals around Nam Shin 3, an android robot, the exact copy of the real Nam Shin. The human Nam Shin is the son of an extremely wealthy family. Unfortunately, the son is taken away from her. Out of grief and loneliness, his mother, a brilliant technologist, models his android copy. He lives with his creator (let’s say his mother) and knows nothing about his human “brother”. However, everything changes when the human Nam Shin falls into a coma. That’s the moment when his android brother has to take his place.

«Are You Human Too?” introduces us to flawed human beings, not perfect three-dimensional characters, each with their motives and backstories. If that’s something you appreciate in TV series, then you shouldn’t miss this gem. The characters in this drama will make you despise and pity them at the same time. The robot, on the contrary, is pure, kind, and selfless. It seems like he has outgrown its owners. Thus, the series sends us the message to always try to become better.

Watch it if you like robot romance K-dramas and you won’t regret it. Besides, there are enough crazy plot twists to keep you on your toes!
