"AI in K-dramas" is a narrative theme, not a photo style — shows that build a plot around androids, virtual assistants, or AGI, distinct from generating an AI, K-drama-aesthetic photo of yourself. This covers the shows first, then how to make your own K-drama-style photo.
- An "AI K-drama" is a Korean drama built around an AI theme — an android character, a virtual-assistant relationship, or an AGI storyline — or one that used AI generation as an actual production technique for part of the show.
- Are You Human Too? (2018) — a foundational AI K-drama: an android built to look like a comatose heir, raising questions about consciousness and identity.
- My Holo Love (2020) — a woman relies on a hyper-realistic holographic AI assistant, who develops feelings of his own.
- Agent Kim Reactivated (2026) — used AI generation for a full three-minute action sequence, reportedly a first for a major Korean drama scene.
- My AI Partner: Strange Romance (2026) — an unscripted Mnet series testing whether people can develop genuine feelings for an AI partner.
- Love Phobia (2026) — a near-future romantic comedy where dating apps have been replaced by a popular AI-partner app.
What is an "AI K-drama"?
The term covers two different things. Some dramas use AI as a plot device — a character who is an AI, or a storyline about AI relationships. Others use AI generation as an actual production technique, creating footage rather than filming it conventionally. Agent Kim Reactivated is notable for doing the second for a specific sequence, not the whole series.
