But, for all of its sci-fi or futuristic elements, My Holo Love turned out to be a very human and healing sort of story. I don’t usually enjoy these kind of stories, but My Holo Love had a great cast, a cool hologram element that appealed to my inner Trekkie – and most importantly, the screenwriter of the fresh and fabulous Liar Game. Many dramas in recent years have looked at robot/AI love entanglements, and they’ve ranged from the good ( I’m Not a Robot) to the not-as-good ( My Absolute Boyfriend). (Dare we hope they’ve heard the outcry and are changing their ways?) Both the full release and the shorter episode count work in the drama’s favor. That being said, My Holo Love is a refreshing change - it’s 12 episodes in total, and has been released in its entirety. This lack of continuity has been the scourge of drama-watchers who are used to the bi-weekly 16-episode run that’s long been standard for South Korean broadcasters. Netflix’s previous original dramas have been released in “seasons” - where the common 16-episode format was split in two, and separated by months in between (and, in the case of Kingdom, over a year).
