photo credits: dramawiki

Title: Absolute Boyfriend (a.k.a. Zettai Kareshi)
Genre: Romance-Comedy
Episodes: 11
Aired: April - June 2008
Casts:

Hayami Mokomichi - 01 or Night Tenjo is a robot made to be the ideal boyfriend of it's owner. Who would've thought that a robot will develop real human feelings towards it's human girlfriend?!

I'd say Mokomichi really did a great job in this drama. He acted so much like a robot that I can't imagine him to be the partner of the lead girl. His tall frame and nice built definitely makes him physically perfect to be an ideal boyfriend!

Aibu Saki - Izawa Riiko is a girl from the province that came to Tokyo to fulfill her dream of becoming a pastry chef. I remember her from the drama "Attention Please" on a supporting role. I'm happy for her that she finally made it to a lead role this time.

Mizushima Hiro - Asamoto Soshi is the grandson of the founder of Asamoto Confectioneries, the leading pastry company in Tokyo. He's not your ideal successor and found to be a bit of a rebel because he always has his own way and is very stubborn.

Hiro is such a good looking man! I found him very attractive the first time I saw him in Hana Kimi, and this time is no different. I had been rooting for him from the very start of the drama.^^ He's bad boy rugged looks just adds more to his manly appeal!

Summary:

01 is the robot created by Kronos Heaven to fulfill every girl's dream of an ideal boyfriend. It's supposed to be whatever you wanted him to be. Izawa Riiko was chosen by the company to test the robot before it's mass production for market selling. Riiko called her robot, Night Tenjo and treated him like a household appliance at first. But unexpectedly, the robot started to have real human feelings towards Riiko that even the maker can't explain.

I like the first part of drama because it brings out the giggly little girl in me. But as the story progresses, it just became more and more ridiculous. Specially near the end when Riiko decided to choose Night over Soshi! Who in their right mind would choose a robot over a real human being who is equally in love with you right? Well, I must have forgotten that the title of the drama is Absolute Boyfriend and the lead is the robot, so understandably, they will have to build more conflict over him to make him shine better. Good thing the ending is not so bad, it's short of what I would've wanted but I'll take it over the other possible ending.

I specially like the theme song, it's so nice!
