Kim Min Gyu is a man who has achieved significant wealth and success in his life. Despite his accomplishments, he chooses to live a solitary existence. His alone lifestyle is largely due to a personal allergy to people, which makes social interactions uncomfortable and sometimes impossible for him. This condition creates a barrier between him and the world around him, often leaving him feeling isolated despite his material achievements.
Living in seclusion, Kim Min Gyu finds solace in his own company and the comforts of his wealth. His lifestyle is characterized by a desire to avoid the complexities and emotional toll of human relationships. This choice has resulted in a life that is both affluent and lonely, emphasizing his preference to stay away from social bonds that he finds overwhelming or painful.
The story takes a turn when Kim Min Gyu encounters a young woman who is pretending to be a robot. This girl is not actually a robot but is acting as one to impress her ex-boyfriend. Her ex is a talented robots professor, and her act is motivated by a desire to appear emotionless and mechanical, mimicking the robots her ex works with. Her deception is part of a playful yet complex attempt to reconnect with her past love interest.
As their paths cross, Kim Min Gyu becomes intrigued by this woman’s unique situation and her mysterious persona. Their interactions gradually deepen, revealing her vulnerabilities behind her robotic façade. Despite her initial intent to impress her ex, she begins to develop genuine feelings for Kim Min Gyu, who also finds himself captivated by her genuine personality and the complexity of her masked emotions.
Their relationship explores themes of authenticity versus pretense, human connection, and understanding. Although both characters have reasons to keep emotional distance, their bond grows stronger as they learn from each other. Kim Min Gyu’s loneliness begins to diminish as he opens his heart to someone who accepts him for who he truly is. Meanwhile, the girl finds a new perspective on love and identity through her relationship with Kim Min Gyu, ultimately discovering that genuine connection can transcend artificial facades.
