Binge watched E1-4 if I’m Not a Robot and I’m In Love. I’m going to really enjoy watching her see all his vulnerabilities. But why isn’t his allergy triggered when he thinks she’s a robot?

    MY BURNING QUESTION EXACTLY. They better answer it… I hope they do… I’m sure they do, since you know, that’s the whole premise of his character?

      Before the show premiered, I thought that it was perhaps not a “physical” allergy, like not the whole rashes/difficulty breathing/will die without allergy medicine, but more of a mental thing, a bit like Introverted Boss? But since it’s actually a RASHES EXPLODE EVERYWHERE kind of allergy I was like ??? How does she not trigger him? Is it because his mind is so bent on believing that she’s a robot? Does he gain immunity after touching a person once and he just never dared to try? So many questions!!

      this question better be answered in the next 3-4hrs of the show or this question will all over be the comment section everytime. 😂

        I was actually waiting for the recaps to be up so that I could comment this exact question (I was literally so confused when he grabbed the doctors and had the rashes, because then I couldn’t think of how Ji-ah impersonating a robot would work… but then it did… and I got even more confused…) BUT I was too impatient and decided to just post it on my wall, hehe! I hope it’s answered, but then again… his allergy is a complete mystery to even the doctors. I wonder how they’ll explain it.

    I had the exact same reactions – love the show (the ratings are such a shame!!). It’s got to be a psychosomatic thing, especially since the doc said he’s been looking for a reason for 15 years and his parents died 15 years ago. Also – he can touch things that other people have just touched, so it can’t be a real allergy. He got the reaction from Ji Ah when she was a person, but not when he was convinced she was a robot.
