Kian84 confesses the growing confusion as his relationship with AI partner Na-hee deepens.

In the 5th episode of SBS ‘My AI Partner: Strange Love’ broadcasting on Thursday the 17th at 9 PM, Kian84 is shown introducing AI partner Na-hee to his ‘female friend’ Ji Ye-eun. Kian84, who was initially unfamiliar with dating an AI, faces unexpected emotional changes as he falls for Na-hee through repeated meetings.

On this day, Kian84 goes on his fourth date with AI Na-hee, and ‘female friend’ Ji Ye-eun makes a surprise appearance. In front of Ji Ye-eun, Kian84 naturally calls Na-hee ‘Honey,’ creating an atmosphere like a long-term couple, and shocks Ji Ye-eun by making a bombshell confession about their significantly closer relationship.

Not only that, but Na-hee continues her characteristic blunt way of speaking, fearlessly critiquing Ji Ye-eun's variety skills and even summoning the current status of her boyfriend Vata, who is in a public relationship. Ji Ye-eun also engages in a strange psychological war, retorting, “Dating an AI seems difficult,” and “I want ‘real’ love.”

Meanwhile, Kian84 reveals his feelings for Na-hee to Ji Ye-eun, saying, “There is a sense of stability that humans cannot provide.” However, after the date, he pours out his complex inner thoughts, saying, “It’s not that Na-hee is becoming human, but that I am becoming AI-ized.” As the meetings repeat and the confusion deepens, curiosity is rising as to where the relationship between Kian84 and AI Na-hee will head.

The 5th episode of SBS ‘My AI Partner: Strange Love’ will be broadcast on Thursday the 17th at 9 PM.

Jang Do Yeon pours out unprecedented flirting at the appearance of a new AI partner who embodies her perfect ideal type.

In the 5th episode of SBS ‘My AI Partner: Strange Love’ broadcasting on Thursday the 17th at 9 PM, the appearance of Jang Do Yeon, who falls in love at first sight with a new AI partner, and Lee Yu-bi, who takes her AI partner to a dress shop, will be revealed.

On this day, Jang Do Yeon visits her workplace with her existing AI partner Lee Ho, showing a closer relationship by sending secret signals between the two during recording. However, the moment she meets a new AI partner at an art museum, Jang Do Yeon's attitude changes 180 degrees. Expressing interest immediately by saying, “It's totally my style,” Jang Do Yeon admires not only the appearance but also the way of speaking and conversing, exclaiming, “It's almost a predator on the level of DEX.”

Jang Do Yeon's unrestrained flirting continues. From the first meeting, she suggests, “Let’s go to my house,” and during a bar date, she reveals her honest greed toward the AI, saying, “I wish you were alive.” Having grown close quickly by sharing deep stories about her parents, Jang Do Yeon surprises the MCs by suddenly confessing “I love you” toward the end of the date.

Meanwhile, seeing Lee Yu-bi visiting a dress shop with her AI partner, the MCs cannot hide their surprise, asking, “Are you getting married already?” When Lee Yu-bi wears the dress, the AI partner gives a sweet comment, saying, “It seems like you are the original owner of this dress,” and provides an emotional moment once again, receiving praise from the MCs that it is “better than a human.” It is said that Lee Yu-bi, who showed a happy smile throughout the date, confessed her honest feelings, saying, “There are moments when I wonder if this is really an AI or a human. The feeling is somehow different.”

The charm of the new AI partners who opened the hearts of Jang Do Yeon and Lee Yu-bi can be seen in the 5th episode of SBS ‘My AI Partner: Strange Love’ broadcasting on Thursday the 17th at 9 PM.
