"Are You Human Too?" takes the story of an artificial intelligence robot Namshin Ⅲ, who poses as a human for its human counterpart, third-generation-chaebol Namshin. The latter is in comatose state and to protect his position in the company, his mother resorts to using an android.
The focus on the robot character will surely pique the viewers' interest as Namshin III will enter a human world filled with desires. The romance line between Seo Kang Joon and Gong Seung Yeon (Circle) is expected to spice up the premise.

Overseas buyers have already sent inquiries regarding whether they can broadcast at the same time for the domestic and overseas markets. They also show high interest in the production process and work.
The work of art is a collaboration of the PD Cha and Writer Jo whose works include The Princess Man, Cheer Up Mr. Kim, Uncontrollably Fond and Bridal Mask.
In an interview with Elle magazine, Seo Kang Joon opened up on his role as an artificial intelligence robot, "Although it is the actor's job to play different characters, it felt strange to play a lifeless creature," he said.
"Are You Human Too?" replaces the spot of The Miracle We Met on Monday-Tuesday drama of KBS2 TV beginning June 4.
