Generally, a better drama than 90% of the dramas produced by TVB last year. It would have been better if there were lesser episodes and they removed some of the filler plots. It feels like they had a general plot and a conclusion they want to get to but didn't really know the best way to get there, which was why the drama felt draggy by episode 20.
This was not Ali's best performance but certainly the one that proves she is TVB's best actress right now. Even though there were some scenes she could have done better, it is still a joy to watch her as A-Bo. There is a gradual increase in the flexibility of her body and the vibrancy in her facial expressions as the episodes go by, this is something not many actresses can pull it off.
The producer of this drama also produced ViuTV's anthology drama "The Republic", that focuses on technology in more or less nightmarish / dystopian setting. Although AI Romantic was more comedic and light-hearted, I do see some similarities it shares with The Republic: in the dialogue and the framing of the shots. I'm glad this can be seen as a continuation of The Republic or an in-depth discussions as more episodes also meant the producer has more time and space to play around the themes of technology and artificial intelligence that were already raised in the previous drama.
