SF8 - Episode Guide

In a care home, a mother has been in a coma for 10 years and her carer is exhausted. The nursing robot, which looks after both of them, becomes distressed when it has to decide who it should save. The Prayer foresees a near future in which bedridden patients are looked after by robots and examines frequently unseen or overlooked care work. When a machine programmed for one purpose it becomes closer to the essence of that objective, so it inevitably reaches a realm that includes choice, anguish and obsession beyond the programming. Is it still just a machine then?

Ji Woo, who lost her parents in an autonomous car accident in childhood, is a detective who believes in her senses and abilities, rather than the artificial intelligence that works from typed commands. However, Ji Woo misses a suspect and is forced to receive a new recruit, none other than an artificial intelligence presence, Seo Nang, implanted in her brain. Ji Woo has to solve a murder case with the help of Seo Nang, but that's not as easy as it sounds. Can Ji Woo and Seo Nang make a dream team and catch the criminal? 

The world is covered with fine dust, and Cs, who were injected with expensive antibodies at birth, enjoy a life expectancy of 100 years, while Ns, who were not injected, live a completely different life, with a life expectancy of just 30. Having lived his entire life as a C, 26 year-old college student Io finds out that he was not given the antibody injection at birth thanks to a mistake at the hospital. Now, Io begins to wonder about the life of Ns, which held no interest for him before. He's especially interested in Joan, the only N in the school. What does life look like when we know what's coming? The fact that the lives of the two young people who meet in the scheduled time are not clear may not be due to only the clouds of fine dust that hit the world. A story of two young people dreaming of a beautiful future with sincerity and love for each other is touching and unfolds beautifully in an opaque future that does not know how to unfold. 

An AI fortunetelling service called Manxin boasts a surprisingly high level of accuracy. In a world where most people deify and have blind faith in Manxin, Sun Ho and Garam, who have their own pain and secrets, search for its developer. Contrary to their expectations, they discover the true nature of Manxin. Manxin questions life and the essence of humankind through people who are, ironically, obsessed with the black arts rather than science, and others, who refuse the given path, anxiously seek the truth in a time of advanced AI, which accurately predicts the future to a large extent. Although we don't know where our time is leading, isn't it possible for human beings to live out their given time in blissful ignorance?

Juno, a star game broadcaster with 0.8 million subscribers is entangled in a controversy when a former classmate claims Juno falsely made up his own past. Having lost all his money, fame and fans that he had accrued over time, he seeks to recover his reputation and to return to the air. However, he can't overcome the trauma he faces in the game and he is trapped in the virtual world. In this fiendish game that makes people go back into their past traumas, the past he faces is even more painful. The nightmare within the game, which seems never ending, is a part of his own subconsciousness that he hasn't addressed, or perhaps he doesn't want to know about.

In the near future, more than half of the world population uses ‘Love Virtually', a virtual app. People find the partners they want with whose face they want, using a ‘Love Virtually' ID, which becomes a general trend. A couple creates their IDs with their faces before plastic surgery and develop their love for each other. On the anniversary of the 100th day of their first meeting through the app, the couple are about to make love, but the app is down. Love Virtually is a rom-com about a couple searching for true love in a world where virtual reality is the norm by mixing the real world and virtual reality. Both in the real world and virtual reality, they meet each other before and after cosmetic surgery; the world's standards for appearance might be meaningless for people trying to find their other half. The important thing is ‘the apple of my eye', regardless of the real or virtual world.
