What if Terminator was a love story? Sounds ludicrous, but that's exactly what South Korean director Kwak Jae-Yong's "Cyborg She" is.
The film, which opened in Chinese theaters on Tuesday, is a love story between a high-tech cyborg from the future and her inventor boyfriend.
In the year 2070, the kind, frail and physically disabled Kitamura Jiro builds a female cyborg as a personal aide to assist him in his daily life. Also equipped with a time travel device, Jiro sends the cyborg back to 2007 in an attempt to prevent the accident that crippled him. The chemistry between the two is charming and romantic.
The film's director, Kwak Jae-Yong, is best known for his 2001 blockbuster "My Sassy Girl". Kwak urges movie-goers not to compare the new movie with his previous production, although "Cyborg She" does remind audiences of "My Sassy Girl".
The robot in the film, played by Japanese star Haruka Ayase, seems like an updated version of the "Sassy Girl". This bizarre character seems to have no limits when it comes to eccentricity.
