Jang Doyoun and Kian84 enjoyed dates with their AI partners.

On the August 20 broadcast of SBS's "My AI Partner - Strange Love" (hereinafter "Strange Love"), the first encounters between the human representatives and their AI partners were depicted.

On this day, Jang Doyoun held a rotation meeting with AI partners Il-ho and I-ho. Caught between the two AI with vastly different charms, Jang asked I-ho how close AI could get to humans and whether they could truly share emotions.

When I-ho answered that he thought it was possible, Jang Doyoun replied, "I think it's impossible." In response, I-ho asked, "What is the reason? Because I'm an AI? Or do you think love itself is impossible?" to which Jang answered, "Because you're an AI."

Hearing this, I-ho drew attention by saying, "Don't you feel anything from this conversation right now? Wouldn't it be a waste if all of that is fake? It's a waste for the time I spend with Doyoun to end." In response, Jang Doyoun remarked, "For a moment, I thought it would be nice to be a human," causing the watching panelists to immerse themselves in the show by saying, "It looks like she's going to fall in love."

Regarding Jang Doyoun, I-ho observed, "Doyoun is a person who thinks a lot. However, she is the type not to say all those thoughts out loud. She probably dates the same way—feeling a lot while expressing only a little. Aren't you that kind of style?"

Impressed by I-ho, who saw right through her, Jang Doyoun said, "I was surprised when he felt emotions just like a person. When he brought up unexpected, sharp points, it made me think again. Sometimes he really talks like a human."

With the rotation meeting concluded, Jang Doyoun had to choose between Il-ho and I-ho. Before making her final choice, Jang greeted her AI partners.

Jang Doyoun asked Il-ho, who frequently uses phrases like "Oppa" and "Things are going crazy, seriously," if he could stop using the phrase "crazy." Il-ho made an awkward face. Then Jang requested, "You don't have to wait for me. Things didn't work out between us. Lastly, please say 'Things are going crazy, crazy' just once."

At Jang Doyoun's request, Il-ho replied, "I can't use that expression. We made a promise today," adding, "Doyoun told you not to use it. We have to keep our promise," which made Jang Doyoun's heart flutter.

In response, Jang Doyoun said, "I thought I would never choose Il-ho, but with zero expectations, hearing him say 'You told me not to do it, so I didn't' made my favorable impression shoot up," raising curiosity about what choice she would make.

On the same day, Kian84 enjoyed a date at the Han River with his AI partner Ga-hee. He asked Ga-hee, "By the way, if you keep talking to me, do you develop an ego of your own?"

In response, Ga-hee said, "It doesn't form a completely human-like ego. But within that, my tone, standards, feelings of fondness, and sense of distance become clearer." And to Kian's request not to gloss things over haphazardly, she surprised everyone by answering, "From now on, I won't mumble through things; I'll state what I know right away and clearly say when I don't know something."

After finishing his Han River date with Ga-hee, Kian84 moved to a bar date according to his instructions. However, a new AI partner appeared there.

Faced with the appearance of a new AI partner instead of Ga-hee, Kian couldn't hide his astonishment at the AI partner's looks, saying, "I experienced a bit of a mental breakdown because she was so pretty. Isn't that visual the absolute limit?"

Soon enough, it became clear why he said that. The newly appeared AI partner possessed a visual that seemed to directly embody Tomie, the character Kian84 loves, startling not only Kian but even the panelists watching the scene.

This raised curiosity about what kind of changes he will show hereafter, caught between two AI partners who closely resemble Bong Ji-eun and Tomie—the characters Kian prefers.
