Human or Inhuman



What makes a person human or inhuman…?
Emotional and unemotional?
Recently I have been watching two TV series, one is Scorpion and another is Playful Kiss. Scorpion is a series that follows highly intelligent prodigies and geniuses that work with homeland to solve impossible situations. Another is a drama called Playful Kiss, this show is about a below basic female student that falls in love with a genius with the IQ of 200, the female goes through many trials to get the genius boy to fall in love with her. But in both cases the highly intelligent people are looked at as inhuman, robotic and unemotional. Mostly these characters are really just looked at as unemotional, but the other parts (inhuman and robotic) are used to describe these characters. But why are they unemotional? Obviously they too have emotions they just don’t show it as other do or as often. Everyone is different so when watching these series and discussing them with someone that also up to date with them, I feel very different from them, they agree with a lot of others that “yes, they very inhuman”, but I just don’t see it. I just see a different way of expressing ones elves. Everyone has a different background and that is shown in both series and because of the background to each character they act the way they do and they don’t show the emotions on their faces but really through their words and actions. Does someone really have to be smiling all the time to be seen as happy? I just don’t understand why these characters are looked at the way are. But that is a question I’ll to know, does showing emotion on one’s face make them more human than someone that doesn’t?
