Love Virtually

Plot Overview

Computer genius Cheng Qing creates an AI virtual lover, Adam, during her university years. However, due to a programming glitch, Adam breaks free from the virtual world and manifests physically in reality. Adam’s passionate pursuit of pure love—refusing transactional relationships and questioning human emotional algorithms—stands in stark contrast to Cheng Qing’s utilitarian relationship with her current boyfriend, Jing Jun-er, gradually unveiling the ethical debate on whether emotions can be programmed.

Production Innovations

Sci-Fi Meets Reality: This is TVB's first attempt at the "AI Ethics" theme, incorporating concepts like data clouds and deep learning into everyday situations (e.g., Adam analyzing human micro-expressions through surveillance).
Visual Metaphors: The virtual world is presented in cool tones and linear scenes, contrasting with the warm light and shadows of the real world, suggesting differences in emotional temperature.

Market Positioning
