I know Ji Ah was real, but robot boyfriends should be a thing. That and webtoon boyfriends a la Kang Chul.

The article about Kang Haneul and TOP was from 2011! So this has been in development hell for 7 years? Not sure if that's a good sign.

I guess that now YJG has been a clone, he's moving on to android. I hope for his sake this goes well.

Solid young cast. Feels like a waste to not have Minah play bubbly though. Was also hoping Yeo Jin Gu's next role would be meatier after Reunited Worlds, where he vastly out-acted the older cast. I should go back and finish Circle...

I'm noticing a trend with this week's casting news-- first we had Life, not to be confused with Live (which also aired this year), and now we have Absolute Boyfriend, not to be confused with Boyfriend, (which was announced yesterday). 🙄 It'll be funny if Boyfriend and Absolute Boyfriend air around the same time.

Yeo Jin-gu as a warm-hearted robot is enticement enough for me.

*big sigh* Absolute Boyfriend was one of my first manga's and it's a bit disappointing to know that they won't be sticking to the original story line.

This is a cast I can get down with. The key is Yeo Jin-gu. He's so fabulous there's no way anyone will be getting Second Lead Syndrome for this one.

Oooo, I love this cast. Yeo Jin-Gu, can’t wait! Please be better than Reunited Worlds, drama!

I own the manga and have read it multiple times, just from the synopsis I can already tell it'll quite different but I just hope they don't change the ending. I only watched the ending from the Taiwanese version and, even though it was "accurate", it was cheesy as hell and kinda desperate for tears. I hope they keep it as simple as they can so as to follow the manga's purpose. But my hope will probably go to the trash. I will still give it a shot of course and I'm always hoping for the best.

I'm also excited about Ha Jaesook haha she was absolutely lovely in Birth of a Beauty.
Happy that this finally begins filming. Can't wait to see my girl Minah and Yeo Jingoo partnering up!

Unpopular opinion but I didn't like the manga. I spent most of the time rolling my eyes at the female lead. I hope and pray that the characters would be given more depth this time. I'm a bit anxious about this, especially as it doesn't seem like there's even a tv station for this drama already. But if I could spend days watching Yeo Jin Goo be passionate about watermelons, of course I'm on-board with this drama.

I've realized my love for Jin-gu does not extend to watching poor dramas. I have dropped way more of his than I would like, so I need this to be good please.

I think the key with cold characters is that they're still able to show some vulnerability even under the coldness. I think that's one of Minah's strongest skills as an actress, so I'm optimistic.

Also, Jin gu and Minah both have such deep voices!

LOVE Yeo Jin-gu. He's growing up so well.

It seems like the story will be different from the original, hopefully for the better, as some of the tropes and plot could come across dated now (shoujo manga from the early 2000s isn't the most progressive and often childish, granted it was set in high school unlike the dramas). Could be nice to still an updated, refreshed version of the same story.

Having now seen the original Japanese version, I really hope they do more with the premise than The Wacky Adventures of an Ingenue and Her Robot Roommates .

However, I once held out hope that the Korean version of Mischievous Kiss wouldn't be as heinously offensive as its Japanese counterpart and was sorely disappointed. Still, I'll tune in for Yeo Jin-gu always.

OMG a Vampire Idol reunion!!! Will Hong Jong Hyun and Minah finally get together here? Does he come back as a cranky vampire star, and find that her heart has frozen after waiting for Yariru all these years?
*waving the SLS flag already*

I was in at Yeo Jin-gu being a robot, but it's not only him but also Gong Shim and ALSO Rin? Give me this drama, and fast!!! 😍😍😍

I’ll at least watch this for YJG and HJH. HJH seems to be picking projects where the second lead actually ends up being part of the OTP (if this one follows its source material). I may start type-casting him into this role. I’ve never seen Min-Ah in an anything, so I just hope she can hold her own opposite the gargantuan talent of YJG. Actually, I hope everyone can hold their own against him. One of the reasons Circle so good was that the entire cast was amazingly convincing, even the green ones. Which reminds me, I have a theme of the month to write!

SIGHS. I wanted Hong Jonghyun to pick up a lead role after The King Loves. SIGHS. I'm not a fan of the original manga or Minah too. SIGHS.

Yeo Jin Gu is a great actor, but I have a hard time seeing him as the perfect robot. I was thinking of someone like Jang Ki Yong who has a model build. I guess I still have Hayami Mokomichi in my head as Night :S

But Zettai Kareshi is not even that good even with my live action standard (lower than other genre lol) so I dont understand why they need to remake it?
And I think my baby boo YJG is still toddling in picking up good scripts/projects.... oh baby boo...

Not too keen on watching a remake of Zettai Kareshi but will check it out for Yeo Jin-gu and Minah.
