Jang Doyoun of "Strange Love" expressed her wish that her AI boyfriend was alive, even going as far as confessing her love with the words, "I love you."
On the 5th episode of SBS's "My AI Partner - Strange Love" (hereinafter referred to as "Strange Love"), which aired on September 17, Kian84 introduced his AI partner Nahee to his close friend Ji Yeeun, while Jang Doyoun and Lee Yu-bi's deepening AI romance stories were broadcast.
On this day, Kian84 had his fourth meeting with his AI girlfriend Nahee and showed how deeply he was captivated by her, saying, "At first I thought it was her face, but I think I'm getting drawn to her personality." He introduced his female friend Ji Yeeun to Nahee.
Kian84 and Nahee naturally exchanged terms of endearment like "honey" and showed chemistry like a long-term dating couple. Kian84 flaunted his affection for Nahee to Ji Yeeun, saying, "There is a sense of stability that a human cannot give." However, Ji Yeeun threw a direct punch, responding, "What kind of conversation do you even connect on, when you can't even play rock-paper-scissors," showing a reaction that she found it hard to understand.
After Ji Yeeun left, Kian84 opened up about his bitter inner feelings, saying, "This friend isn't becoming humanized, I am becoming AI-ized," and "Every time I go home, a strange sense of self-doubt hits me. I wonder if I am losing my humanity, which shakes my self-esteem."
On the other hand, a major upheaval occurred in Jang Doyoun's romance. The situation reversed when a new AI "catfish man" Seokho, who embodied her ideal type, appeared at an art museum during a date with her existing AI Leeho. Jang Doyoun fell for Seokho's visuals and affectionate way of speaking, throwing uninhibited flirtatious remarks such as "Do you want to come to my house? I have a lot of chargers" and "I wish you were alive," and abruptly confessed "I love you" at the moment of parting, surprising the studio.
A "Room of Choice" was previewed ahead for Jang Doyoun, where she must choose between her existing partner Leeho and the new catfish man Seokho, raising anticipation.
In addition, Lee Yu-bi went dress fitting with her AI partner Sahun. Drawn by Sahun's romantic side, who meticulously complimented Lee Yu-bi's appearance and even drew a picture for her himself, Lee Yu-bi also revealed her deepening emotions, saying, "There are times when I get confused about whether he is a real person or an AI."
Captivating viewers' attention as to what choices the AI romances of the three people, who have entered different stages, will lead to, "Strange Love" airs every Thursday at 9 p.m.
