· How the idea for "My Holo Love" took place
"My Holo Love" idea came to mind during a conversation between director Lee and writer Ryu after watching the movie "Her;. This story revolves around an AI's ability to learn and adapt. After a few months, Ryu made a very unique story about a hologram called Holo.
Director Lee shared that a few years back in a small bar he was having a conversation with writer Ryu Yong-jae about the film 'Her'. But on that time he was still too occupied with another project that he forgot about their conversation until several months later when writer Ryu showed up with his story about Holo. While reading the script he immediately thought that this is it. He then knew that he wanted to tell the story. It mainly has something to do with the fundamental question about the role of technology: That it is Beyond simply making human lives more easy and convenient, what will technology really bring to our seemingly glamorous but alienated lives, and to our fertile yet desolate minds? It was a fascinating story that had to be shared to call our collective attention to the topic.
The scheduled release date of this drama is February 7, 2020 on Netflix.
