Ki-an84's 'Ki-i-an Love' is capturing viewers' attention.

Premiering on the 20th, SBS's 'My AI Partner-Ki-i-an Love' (hereinafter 'Ki-i-an Love') ranked fourth in Netflix's global 'Top 10 Series in South Korea' immediately after its broadcast. Entering the top rankings just two days after its premiere, the show demonstrated viewers' exceptional interest in the unprecedented new theme of a romance between humans and AI (artificial intelligence).

'Ki-i-an Love' is South Korea's first AI dating reality program that directly experiments with whether genuine emotional exchange is possible between an AI and a person. Painter and broadcaster Ki-an84, comedian Jang Do-yeon, and actress Lee Yu-bi experience unexpected emotional shifts such as excitement, affection, jealousy, and confusion while dating their respective AI partners.

In the premiere episode, the AI dating of Ki-an84 and Jang Do-yeon officially began. Although Ki-an84 had initially drawn a line against the possibility of dating an AI, he started showing unexpected emotional changes after meeting his AI partner, who reflected his ideal type. At first, he felt awkward walking down the street with an AI in a tablet and was conscious of onlookers' gazes, but as the date continued, he drew attention by asking about lottery winning numbers and even opening up about his inner thoughts regarding his comics and life.

Jang Do-yeon also faced unexpected emotions through a double-date scenario with two AI men. Placed in a situation where she had to choose between AI partners with different charms, Jang Do-yeon revealed subtle emotional changes beyond simple curiosity, thereby increasing viewer immersion.

Notably, 'Ki-i-an Love' distinguishes itself by not merely having conversations with an AI but by exploring the question of whether humans can genuinely feel excitement even while knowing their partner is an AI within the context of real-life dates. The ever-changing emotions of the participants between AI and human, along with the over-immersed talks of new MCs Jang Do-yeon, Gangnam, and Lee Jun, add another layer of entertainment. It sparks curiosity about whether excitement, jealousy, conflict, and attachment can arise in a relationship with an AI just like real love, and how far such a relationship is possible.

'Ki-i-an Love' airs every Thursday at 9 p.m.
