I Am Not a Robot (2017) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is limited to romantic tension, discussions of kissing, and a few innocent kisses. Min Gyu contemplates kissing Ri El, and later shares a first kiss with Ji A, depicted chastely. One scene shows a tarot card with a cartoon image of a nude couple, stylized and not graphic, which is briefly seen by a character. No nudity or explicit sexual acts are shown.

Violence is mild and infrequent. Most instances involve physical altercations that are brief and non-graphic, such as Baek Gyeon punching Min Gyu in a fit of jealousy. Min Gyu's allergic reactions to human contact are a prominent plot point; while not traditional violence, they involve visible hives, difficulty breathing, and intense pain, which can be distressing. There are no weapons, gore, or graphic injuries.

Language is generally mild. Common exclamations like "damn" or "hell" are used occasionally in moments of frustration or surprise. There are a few instances of the Korean equivalent of the 's-word' used by characters when angered or greatly upset, but it is not pervasive.

Alcohol consumption is depicted frequently, with characters often seen drinking at bars or during social gatherings. While usually mild and not leading to intoxication, there are instances of characters having multiple drinks. One scene shows Min Gyu drinking heavily to cope with emotional distress, though he does not appear intoxicated. No drug use or smoking is depicted.

The central theme is Min Gyu's severe 'human allergy,' which isolates him and leads to profound loneliness. The show explores themes of deception, as Ji A maintains her disguise, and the emotional toll this takes on her. There are also themes of corporate espionage and betrayal within the company, impacting Min Gyu's business and personal life. Emotional distress, abandonment, and the search for genuine human connection are prominent throughout the season.
