Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)


This is a live-action drama series based on manga under the same title "Zettai Kareshi".
The story is about an invention of love robot..A perfect male robot, named 01 is run by some high-tech programming, which is meant to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. A gal, Riiko Izawa, who has no fate with love all year-round, is selected to test on functionality of 01. In addition, 01 is programmed in such a way that it's customized completely based on the idealization of customer's desire. Without Riiko's intention, an ideal boyfriend (Riiko named it as Night Tenjo) is sent to her and causes a tremendous change in her life. It's actually a trap once after she signed the contract with the company. There is no way that she can return the robot after finding her inconvenience life with the existence of the robot. There's no free meal in this world. A 5-day trial has turned into 100,000,000 yen debts. Now, Riiko's role is to keep Night with her and help the scientist collecting data on how a gal would feel abt love robot AND returning 100,000,000 yen debts by installment. Riiko must keep Night's true nature (not a human being) a secret from everyone around her, if not a heavy fine will be charged on her.

Initially, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But as time goes on, after having it in her life for couple of weeks, she realises how deep Night's devotion to herself is and gradually falling in love with him/it. A love triangle is formed between a robot, Night and a young executive, Soshi. Night who supposedly is a perfect robot boyfriend, is beginning to develop real emotion, and go against the programme for his love towards Riiko is overwhelmed. This make Night a potential dangerous robot and planned to be scrapped away by the company. When Riiko almost loses Night due to system malfunctions.......

If u wanna know the rest of the story, watch it urself. =P
It's really an interesting one with a whole new theme for a romantic drama.

Additional info:
The robot is sent to the customer in a deadly condition with an attachment of instruction manual. In order to activate the robot, a kiss on the robot is required to wake it up and by doing so the robot will be configured to be in love with only tat person.



Drama is only for entertainment purpose.
However, it's really beyond my acceptance for a human to take a robot as his/ her lifetime partner. No matter what, it's an IT, and not a HE. It runs on the programmed that based on ur customization, even the words that come from it, the actions tat it takes aint from the HEART, but simply a emotionless program. Though it could be perfect in every way, but this is not called life, the feelings aint real.
Furthermore, love cannot be exchanged with money. 100,000,000 yen for a love robot??? This is ridiculous.


Quote from the drama, " Love, is the beginning of every miracle".
