I really didn't know what to expect from this. I don't generally enjoy anything AI related but I have a thing for tropes like prosopagnosia so I wanted to give My Holo Love a shot. I think AI stories can rarely make a 10/10 show; the debate around AI is too complicated, in my opinion. I went into it with a decent amount of suspension of disbelief as well, but even just the fact that we're not going to discuss how strange it is to entertain the idea of human/AI romantic relationships is where I was being lost. Not to say I didn't enjoy it because I really did! I thought it had a really satisfying ending, as well. 12 episodes was a great call; I think 16 would have felt too stretched out.

In terms of the acting, Yoon Hyun Min especially is really remarkable playing two very different characters and he just gets better and better as the series progresses. I also really enjoyed Hwang Chan Sung. However, Nam Myung Ryul was giving me cartoon villain energy at times, both in terms of acting and his character.

I really liked So Yeon and Nan Do but I somehow finished the series feeling like I wished there had been more of them. Perhaps because the conclusion is a bit short? I'm not sure.

The action in the last few episodes was top tier. I really enjoyed those moments, especially.

The one thing that actually bothered me in terms of the storyline is that one major flaw in Nan Do's backstory. I won't elaborate to keep this review spoiler-free but I hope I wasn't the only one confused.

Also, absolutely irrelevant but how gorgeous is Choi Yeo Jin? Wow...
