Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend) Episode 11-Final (2008)

I'm just a bawling mess. It's over! Say it ain't so. I so loved this drama even though I sort of knew the ending but wasn't sure if they would follow the manga (comic) or not. They sort of did. *weeps*

I will say this. I fell in love with Night but not just for his hunky glory. Moko-kun played the naive, sincere, sweet robot so well. You couldn't help but fall in love with him. But I did NOT route for him, at all. I'm sorry but a robot with a human (even if said robot is God's gift to all women) just isn't "right". It sort of repulsed me a bit. I'm sorry but it was like Kronos made the ultimate "dildo". He would never grow old, she would never have her own children, and to me it wasn't natural love. It's not like I would ever love my toaster even if it made the best tasting toast ever...ya know? I know, I know...bad comparison. But do you get my drift?

I routed for Soushi. To me theirs was a natural love that blossomed from friendship. The ending was great but I was hoping for some kind of romantic feeling between Soushi and Riiko. I just felt that they weren't going to let Night go. Ugh!

But in general, this was an awesome show. Great characters, great actors, great script!

Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend) Episode 9

This is just an update on the show....I think the last episode is episode 10. Nope, it's episode 11 (Thanks to SARS fansubs!)

Why am I, the insane Asian-watching movie queen, talking about this episode? Reason is.....it tore my heart up. I sat there sobbing buckets. Don't get me wrong, I want Souchi to hook up with Riiko. I can't see a happy ending with a human and a robot. Just you can't help but love Nighto-kin and his naivete and endearing ways. *melts* To hear Riiko confess her love, and vice versa, to Souchi was heartbreaking at its best. To watch his robot self, clench his chest....knowing his heart was breaking. Could it get any worse? I don't know but I do know that if anyone read the manga...you know how this will end.

Somebody pass me the large family size Kleenex..................................

Oh and so as you know, once SARS finishes all the episodes, they will be immediately downloaded to my personal collection. God, I really love this show!!

Okay, I feel better getting that off my chest.

Zettai Kareshi "Absolute Boyfriend"

*based off the manga of the same name*




Starring:
Hayami Mokomichi as Tenjo Night
Mizushima Hiro as Asamoto Soshi
Aibu Saki as Izawa Riiko
Sasai Eisuke as Shirasagi Yuki

First my opinion. I've read the manga. This drama relates somewhat to the manga in the sense that it's about a hot-looking robot that was made to make the owner "very, very, very happy". They kept the main characters names the same. Riiko still owes 100,000,000 yen. From that point on, it's different. The manga is based on Riiko being in high school. Soshi is a childhood friend. The live-action has Riiko as a young adult temp worker for a confectionary company. Soshi is her boss. And well, Night is still Night. LOL!

I guess to keep with television convention they changed the plot of the story so as not to destabilize family television. Now don't get me wrong, even with the plot change, the story is still wonderful. There isn't anything really wrong with the story so far. I'm on episode 3 since the new live action version just started airing. Again, having to wait for our lovely fansubbers to do their jobs. God bless them!

Robot maker, Kronos Heaven, finally develops "Night Tenjo", the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. The company chooses temp worker Izawa Riko to take part in a 5-day free trial. At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But when she finds out how deep Night's devotion to herself is, Riko finds herself falling in love with him. Joining the love triangle is Asamoto Soshi, a distinguished young executive at her company who has feelings for her~thanks to Dramawiki.

Here's the hot pics of Hayami Mokomichi and Mizushima Hiro. I'm telling you this as a warning....keep the fire extinguisher nearby. Moko-kun is HOT!
