Couldn't write anything for some time. Even though I have watched Gokusen , yeh all 3 seasons , couldn't gather enough motivation to write anything about it. Ahh... don't be mistaken. No doubt, it is the grand mother (well the main character is Kumiko ... a woman) of all high school students/teacher dramas. Really entertaining and heart capturing. But this post after all is about the J-Drama Zettai Kareshi ( Absolute Boyfriend / 絶対彼氏。)First impression was , what a silly theme ? Will it be a waste of time watching it ? But contrast to the expectations , it turned out to be a really good and entertaining drama after all. There were heaps of funny and embarrassing moments to make one laugh continuously and the final episode (11) was heart capturing.

Pretearg4 Says: Best Love Story EVER!!!
At first when I read the summary of this drama, I thought it was going to turn out to be really dumb, but to my surprise it ended up being one of the best dramas I have ever seen. In the beginning, you feel like Night is kinda over the top and annoying, but as you get into the story you start to really really like Night , to the point where you are super sad at the end. There were many cute and funny parts. I had many laughs :). I give this drama 10 thumbs up. I’m adding it to my favorites list (which is pretty hard to get in to)!.

This is really a great J-Drama! i must say one of the best that i’ve seen! It will really make you smile and cry at the same time.. Hayami Mokomichi as Tenjo Night really portrayed the role of a ideal robot lover!! All the characters were so great and i really love the story! I am now reading the manga version of this drama it is really different from this one but i think this drama will really capture your heart.. One of my favorite J-Drama!!
Molkisha Says : Funny Love Story!
This is not your average love story folks. But it is indeed one of the most beautiful ones to tell children before going to bed. It depicts the love between woman and machine, colored in a beautiful storyline, good visuals handsome and the most famous actors of the Japanese scene. It’s relaxing, funny, romantic and inspiring. It tells the famous story of a robot that yarns to be human and a girl that loves her robot very much, but knows their relationship is almost impossible.
