Modern Love is an American romantic comedy anthology television series developed by John Carney, based on the weekly column of the same name published by The New York Times, that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on October 18, 2019.[1] In October 2019, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on August 13, 2021.[2][3]
This episode alternates between the past, a love story between Margot (Jane Alexander) and Kenji (James Saito), and the present, during Kenji's funeral. Margot and Kenji are an older couple who connect over their love of running. The two decided to take their love slowly because of Kenji's difficulty in recovering from the death of his wife, who had died six years prior. Their relationship began to progress quickly after Kenji suggested they sleep together after a marathon they ran together. After the funeral, Margot decides to go for another run and passes by young couples in love, including characters from previous episodes. Margot compares herself to these young couples, considering her own age and experience with relationships.

I love these shows. Iwatch them every week they are on my pbs station. I make sure I get up early every Saturday to watch it.
Thank you so much for them. So much knowledge for this self taught quilter!!
There was a tip from a viewer in March or April on our local PBS station that was a binding roll/dispenser to keep our bindings straight while we were sewing it onto our top. Can you send me a note as to which episode it was in?
A lonely woman who is unable to recognize people's faces meets an AI who takes the form of his creator. As she and the AI become companions, her feelings grow complicated. She soon finds herself trying to protect the AI, not realizing that she has also met its creator.
The distinction (or indistinction) between Holo and Nan-do is one of the strongest elements the drama plays with. Several times, Nan-do is forced to role-play Holo. Not only is Yoon Hyun-min brilliant in switching between these two characters, but the drama has a ton of fun playing with this, and the audience is teased just as much as So-yeon is.
I enjoyed My Holo Love much more than I expected to, and there were so many things that the drama did well. The production was gorgeous, of course, and the expression of the AI intelligence and digital environment was well-conceived, though a bit abstract and conceptual in parts (but I might argue it was appropriately so).
Thanks for review and comments. I concur with most of what you've said.
I liked the show a lot, the production was fantastic and I also got the trekkie vibes at some point. As @pakalanapikake said in another post, the premise of an hologram who learns and evolves reminded me of The Doctor in Voyager. Holo also reminded me of Jane (the AI in the Ender saga by O.C. Card), as he takes decisions and wants to help people (like when hacking whatever should be hacked to help NanDo and SoYeon).
I have to say I had never watched anything by Yoon Hyun-Min and I liked him a lot. He makes Holo and NanDo different individuals who deeply care for each other and also for SoYeon. Also his chemistry with Ko SunHee no-matter-what-the-role is amazing.
And even if the drama has all the tropes a drama can have (face blindness, childhood trauma, childhood connection, an evil CEO, the orphan adopted and raised abroad, etc) it perfectly suits the story.
I recommend you to watch some of his drama like Heartless City and Falling in love with innocent with his bestfriend Jung Kyung ho. His drama with Choi Jin Hyuk which is a great fantasy crime drama TUNNEL.
Tunnel was one of the great fantasy crime drama after Signal. They both had the same case which is one of the unsolved case in South Korea but with different approached to solve it. Signal and Tunnel and even Life on Mars was the drama I will recommend for fantasy crime dramas
Personally I liked it, some people said it was too cheesy for their liking but I enjoyed how everything tied together, trope or otherwise. It was a pleasant ride, nothing that would cheese me off when I'm not usually a fan of romance (but tried it because the writer's works is something I've followed awhile) and it just...felt good?
Interesting... Maybe people felt the things that she did with HOLO were cheesy? For a woman able to experience romance for the first time, safe from her judgy peers, I would expect her to go full out, yet sweet; my cheese-o-meter flickered, but stayed in the safety zone.
The show also could have gone cheesy with the public release of HOLO, but instead they bothered to delve into what would be the downside... loss of human contact, abandonment of responsibility, and being at the beck and call of a corporate master (I love how HOLO-public kept suggesting things to do that cost money). Nope, no cheese there.
But if by cheese-tastic they were referring to Chansung's acting--- the cheese-o-meter was off the scale. I ended up having to fast-forward through his scenes. Watching him attempt to emote was just exhausting. The capper was the cane scene with big bad daddy, who was practically frothing at the mouth while Chansung sucked on his lower lip and looked perturbed, as if his milk was past the expiration date. And the wedding fake-out at the end? Like getting a Yugo instead of a Ferrari. It's still a car, right? Wrong.
