My Holo Love: 2020's Pleasant Surprise

My Holo Love
a.k.a 나 홀로 그대

“My Holo Love” centers on a woman named So Yeon, and by a chance encounter, she meets an A.I. named “Holo.”

Meanwhile, Nan Do is the owner of the company who created Holo (... AND HE IS THE FACE OF HOLO!) Because of the genius inventor that he is, Nan Do became recluse. He preferred to be with his inventions more than actual people. He only has his stepsister taking care of him.

Things complicate when Nan Do discovers So Yeon suffers from prosopagnosia or face blindness. When their two worlds collide, will So Yeon prefer the real Nan Do or the holo Nan Do?




Let me begin by saying this: My Holo Love is now on my favorites list of Korean dramas. Why? The storytelling, the pacing, the characters, everything is perfectly combined in a mini series. I swear, I was able to binge all 12 episode in less than 24 hours. That's how compelling it was! 😍


(So Yeon the fascinating main lead)

Meet the Characters:
So Yeon is such a relatable character. Personally, I can relate to her character and her life choices. You see, she lives an isolated life because she doesn't want people to know that she has face blindness. Despite having this rare condition, she strives to live a normal life especially at work. Her office mates don't even know she has prosopagnosia. So Yeon tries her best to memorize every little detail about her workmates.   

Nan Do is one arrogant dude, but you can empathize with him. Due to his dark past, he ended up alone. His only family is his adoptive sister, Yoo Jin. Together, they run Gio Lab and plans to mass produce Holo in the future.

More Than the Romance:
For me, what sets My Holo Love from the other Kdramas out there is that it does not just focus on romance. All the characters have a story to tell and they offer something to the overall plot of the series. I love how the show's creators were able to show the unlikely friendship between So Yeon and Holo.

Holo was there when So Yeon badly needs a friend, and he even helped So Yeon to be closer to her office mates. Because of Holo, So Yeon now enjoys a brighter life with her friends, and she has gotten closer to one guy friend at work. So Yeon has some sense of normalcy thanks to Holo!

Nan Do Enters the Picture:
Of course, there's the romance. So Yeon and Nan Do had a rough start due to the fact that Nan Do is the total opposite of Holo. If Holo is the definition of a perfect friend, who is perceptive, understanding, and polite, Nan Do is just plain obnoxious. A tough cookie, but definitely lovable on the inside! ❤️



FINAL VERDICT: DAEBAK! 대박! 
I don't wanna spoil it. Just go watch My Holo Love on Netflix right now! Binge the whole season, and enjoy the rollercoaster ride. Laugh, cry, and swoon with me! 

My Holo Love is filled with scenes that are SWOON-WORTHY, and would surely melt your heart. I PROMISE YOU THAT MY HOLO LOVE IS WORTH EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND! As a bonus, I'm linking the Netflix video of Sung Hee (actress who plays So Yeon) and Hyun Min (actor who plays Nan Do) playing Mission Pong. Enjoy!!!
