PERSONALITY TRAITS — friendly, understanding, gentle, passive, stubborn, naive
ELABORATION —
• eunsaem is really nice. since she was created for kids she doesn't have one mean bone in her body. even when she tries to use her stern voice its still soft and kind. she never screams at the kids no matter how difficult they are being and treats them with the utmost care. she doesn't even have the self defense mode to protect herself but if her student is in danger she will throw herself in front of a bus for them. she understands other peoples flaws very easily and accepts them. just because the student might be a slow learner doesn’t mean she will discriminate against them, she will try to help him as much as she can. in the end all she wants is for her students to learn and do well, that is what she was created for.
she takes this mission very seriously, anything she can do to help a student better themselves she does. she is so stubborn because she won’t listen to others warnings if it goes against her goal. but then she is also naïve because if someone uses this as an excuse for her to do something then she will do it even if it has nothing to do with that. that’s how she can be easily manipulated. she doesn’t get upset easily even if she is betrayed. she doesn’t like confrontation so instead of participating in that she will do anything she can to end it. she won't cry over things, she always has a smile on her face and says she's okay.
BACKGROUND + CURRENT EVENTS —
• eunsaem was created in 2036 as a teacher. there were many before her but she was programemd for a specific school, seoul southern academy (ssa). located in gangnam that school is home to some of the wealthiest children in korea. going to that school shows prestige and has the highest rate of students that go into worldwide top ranked colleges in korea. parents are wary of having androids so close to their kids so having an android teacher never favored well with the parents there. but over the last few years the elementary level of ssa has been struggling to keep teachers long term, which is why they ordered eunsaem. eunsaem teaches math and history to 1st grades at ssa. she has been there for 2 years and has needed 31 repairs and resets from all the damage she recieved from students.
dealing with spoiled rich kids isn't easy. they don't listen to her at all and sometimes physically abuse her because she's 'just a robot'. her not being a human makes her seem like some kind of play toy to them and when they don't do well on exams she gets yelled at by parents and superiors for not doing her job well. the teachers don't make it easier because they don't respect her either, instead she does all the jobs they don't want to do and works overtime. but this is what she was made for, she loves her job and playing with the kids. after every repair her memories resets anyways so she doesn't remember all the abuse.
RELATIONSHIPS —
(park sung woong)
• friends but more - kim sunghoon (50) - assemblyman - selfish, condescending, charming, hot tempered - sunghoon is the father of one of eunsaem's students, kim younghoon. younghoon was doing bad in school so he took time out of his day to show up for a conference, it was more like the teachers kissing up to him and his son. sunghoon saw how pretty eunsaem was and recommended private lessons for younghoon at his house on sunday mornings. after class younghoon as a tennis lesson and his wife has pilates so after sunghoon has his way with eunsaem. sunghoon told herwith her help the school will get better donations but they have to keep it a secret. eunsaem doesn't see the problem with it bcause she's helping the school. she doesn't know what cheating is so she doesn't think she's doing wrong. she doesn't feel romantic feelings towards him either because he doesn't treat her romantically. he's just a serial cheater and eunsaem is another pretty girl under his belt.
(yeonwoo)
• onesided enemies - lee chaemin (29) - housewife and sometimes actress and actress - overzealous, insecure, fake - chaemin doesn't like eunsaem because she feels something is happening between her husband and eunsaem but she can't prove it. sunghoon is very controlling and if she dared say anything about it he'd lose it. she sees how he looks at her though, the same way he used to look at her before she had younghoon. she tries to look pretty for him and get his attention but no avail. to him she's just armcandy, the reason he keeps her around is because she had his child, not for love.
(jung hyeonjun)
• student - kim younghoon (7) - student - mischevious, quiet, smart - younghoon is a misunderstood kid. he rather play on his own than socialize. he's smart but doesn't try and causes trouble isntead. sometimes he gets bullied but when eunsaem tries to help he lashes out at her. she knows its problems at home that causes him to be like that so she tries to help however she can.
(go pyung pyo)
• coworker - lim jihong (32) - elementary school gym teacher - talkative, idiot, friendly - jihong is the gym teacher that has a big mouth and jokes a little too much. he knows all the gossip but can't keep a secret at all. his jokes always go too far. he thinks eunsaem is really pretty and tries to flirt with her and be a little touchy but it always fails. he doesn't hate her like some other teachers but just finds it funny and a bit ridiculous how clueless she is. he's one of the few that actually don't talk down to her and genuinely means well. if he never finds out whats happening between her and sunghoon it won't be a secret for much longer.
(kim sangho)
• boss - jung kitae (55) - elementary school principal - nonchalant, tired, bossy - all kitae wants for the elementary school is for the kids to pass so they can move on and keep the parents satisfied so they can get good donations. he doesn't care if he has to cheat because the parents have so much money that he'll never get caught anyways. he's unethical, especially towards eunsaem. he really doesn't care about her but its cheaper to have her around sicne they save on teachers. go to his office and the first thing he'll do is let out a big sigh unless you're jihong then he'll scream at you to get out. but to the parents he's really friendly and kisses their asses.
