Story - Very Unique! One of the best romantic-comedy ever! I have never seen a drama like this before. Unforgettable. Watch it again and again, you wouldn't get sick of it at all! At first, I thought I wouldn't like this drama but it was awesome. This drama proves that love conquers all, even reality. You will never regret watching this drama!

Acting -
Hayami Mokomichi(night) - I don't think another actor would fit this role. He's just awesome.

Mizushima Hiro - Who wouldn't love this ikimen~? His appearance in this drama really made it.

Aibu Saki(Riiko) - She fits the role well, acted her roll well.


Ueno Natsuhi(doctor) - His appearance was noticeable. He also did well!


Music - I love the OST! Specially the 'okaeri'. It suited the drama well considering the story behind that song. Ayaka, the singer, wrote that song after reading the manga.

Satisfaction: 10/10 ! AN ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE DRAMA~!!

RECOMMENDED? OF COURSE!

Story: Absolute Boyfriend is about a robot that is programed to be an "absolute boyfriend" (hense the name).
Riko (Aibu Saki) is chosen to be the first to try out 01 (later named Night (Hayami Mokomichi )).
Riko is annoyed with all of Night's public desplays of affection (which was hilarious) but eventually falls for him.
When I began this drama I never thought I would be able to root for a person and a robot but by the end I was. I also thought Riko and Soshi (Mizushima Hiro) were cute together too.

Acting: Hayami Mokomichi did a fantastic job as the robot. Overall it was good acting all around.

Music: I liked the music, especially Okaeri by: ayaka (the theme song).

Overall: Very enjoyable! I fell in love with it. I even cryed at the end.

The show was really entertaining, and had a sweet moral to it. It was all really predictable, but most dramas are.

I didn't think the acting was very good, though it wasn't bad. I think that if it had been a bit better, that the show would have been a lot more meaningful.

Annnnnd, I don't remember the music.

And I shant forget to say that it is funny, pretty much every scene with the robot in it is hilarious, esp when they are at home.

Story - Absolute Boyfriend is about a woman, Izawa Riko, who has an ideal robot "boyfriend" [Naito/Night].
Naito, originally called 01, is an experimental robot designed to give unconditional love to its owner. Naito's creator chooses Izawa Riko, a hopeless romantic, to be the first person to test their experimental robot and tricks her into signing a contract that would forever tie her up with Naito (or something like that).
Although the robot had the traits of her ideal boyfriend, she can never take Naito seriously because it's just a robot. How can a human fall in love with a robot anyway?!

The drama's story was quite original. Although the drama had a science fiction plot, the drama itself was not too unbelievable, probably because of close to zero loophole (none that I could actually pinpoint in my first viewing). Give it 50 years or so, I can see it happening.

All throughout the drama, Naito irritates Riko by his public display of affection, which was the comedic part. As much as I liked the Naito/Riko tandem, Riko and Soushi's (the "other" guy) romantic story was quite interesting too, at times even more so than her story with her robot. I could never see Naito and Riko ending up together because of the fact that he is a robot, so the romance part with the robot wasn't that romantic. But overtime, the robot and Riko grew on me, but not enough to see them as a couple in the end. It was nice everytime the robot (Naito) saves Riko.. it's nice.. but it's hard to imagine how anyone (knowing that the robot is a robot) can fall in love with a robot. I liked the fact that it took awhile until Riko realizes that she has feelings for the robot, but even so.. I couldn't buy it. In the end, I felt like the drama needed to add more to the conclusion.

As a love story, the drama fell short for me, but as a comedy and science fiction, the drama was really good. Someone who's more open-minded to robot-love might enjoy this drama more than me, although I did enjoy it. I'm giving the story an 8/10.

Acting - Hayami Mokomichi as the robot was spot on. The little details he did as Naito made me believe that he was a robot. Aibu Saki did a great job as well, her comedic timing were right on target. Mizushima Hiro was commendable too as the third wheel. I'd give the acting an 8/10 because the cast was good, but not amazing.

Music - The main theme was a ballad, which was a big question mark at first, but became understandable towards the end. It's overall not bad. I'd give it an 8/10.

Overall, I liked the drama. It has a nice pace that doesn't get too boring, but not too exciting. It's a fun, warm drama. Satisfaction: 8/10.
