Night is still acting so robotic. I am not even noticing as progressing to try and be human cuz he likes Riko. He's just programmed. He forgot about her when he got reset. In the manga at least he called her ex-gf. He didn't even seem to recognize her as that. In the end at least he remembered her name. Seems her name was retained in his database somewhere. Riko still doesn't seem to have any real feelings for Night either. She treats him like her possession. She gets possessive cuz he's giving her the cold shoulder. Seems not cuz she likes him but cuz she owns him and he's not doing his job as her ideal bf. At least she ran out on Soshi to save Night in the fire. Not sure if the reason is cuz she doesn't want Night to die or doesn't want her expensive purchase to be burned cuz she still has to pay for it.
Yeah, there's no chemistry at all. T_T
She seems to see him as a freak, someone she gets 'yerks' over. Really, how can he be her ideal boyfriend, she doesn't seem to be very impressed by him or even attracted to him.
But really, the chemistry between Riko and Soushi is a bit more (than in the manga). In the end I will be split about who to cheer for. ^^;

Hmmm, am I weird for liking the drama more than the manga so far? Not just 'cause of the hot actors, but how Riiko's a bit more realistic. Although she's annoying, she's smarter than the other office ladies, not falling for him immediately because of his cute words and gorgeous looks. We'll see how the rest of the shows go!

It's not that she's not falling for him cuz of his sweet words and good looks. It's cuz she knows he's a robot. If she didn't know, she would probably be like the other girls too.
On another note. I don't know if she's being annoying or not. I think she's acts rather rude and childish actually. Maybe she's suppose to be young and not know any better. I dunno...

I like the series but I have to agree that i do not feel chemistry with any of the characters at all.
And even though I find Mokomichi to be a very attractive man he doesn't "turn me on" personally. I just don't see him as the "ultimate boyfriend". (Just IMO) I think that he is doing his best with the role but there is something "missing" for me.
Again... I am enjoying the show, and I will stick with it, but I would have cast the main 3 differently.

I haven't read the manga, but I agree with you about Riko being realistic. Night is a robot, what can you expect? Just because hes the "perfect" boyfriend, you can't expect her to just fall madly in love with him. The drama shows hints of an opening towards him, but she acts realistically by being turned off by the fact that he isn't human.
Hidden:
I think the end of ep 4 where Night retains the memory of her name is the turning point for him. From here on he will slowly start to become more human like and form a personality of his own. Riko will soon notice this and then she will be conflicted between who to choose.

me too! I'm not a big fan of the manga, it's so..predictable. I really like how the lead has a talent of her own.. the boss is pretty cool.

Don't you guys think it would have more tension, however, if Knight acted more human - maybe from learning how to be more human. And also stopping the stupid sounds when he turns his head or blinks sometimes. If Knight acted more human, there would be more excitement - Rika perhaps maybe falling in love with him and thus the conflict of loving a robot. And the conflict of "who will she choose".
However, at the moment, it is clear that Knight is never more than a robot, and that clearly Soushi is the one that she likes. I'm a little bit (or a lot) disappointed that this hasn't turned into more of a love triangle. Instead, it is Rika getting annoyed at Knight and falling in love with Soushi. I think it could have been more.

Actually after some thoughts, Night has no redeeming qualities of trying to become more human at all. Even at the end of ep4 when he remember Riko's name. It's not a system glitch and he over came it. It seems more like, when Mika kissed him, Riko's profile got logged off and Mika logged on. Hence he forgot who was Riko. When Riko kissed him, Mika got logged off and Riko got logged on. So her system profile must be somewhere in his memory. Now...if he still remembers Mika, does that mean Night actually loves Mika rather than Riko?

I agree with your analogy. However, I think he will remember Mika, because in Riko's profile he knows her. That's just the way that I thought it worked, so when he said her name, I was like "Ok, he's just gone back to the way things were before", it never occurred to me to think "awww, he remembers her".

I agree. There is not gonna be love triangle at all if this goes on. Actually from the very start I never liked Night being a robot. I read the manga back then but in it Riiko fell for Night just too deep too soon. I don't mind her not falling for Night at all but then this drama won't have any point.... Why does he have to be a robot?!!!
****some light spoilers********'
Right now I feel like ranting a bit. I just finished watching ep 3 and meh, it actually bored me a bit. It's a pity to see how this drama is turning into just another Jdrama. Main girl is an unlucky office lady. Every time she lies it's so awkward. I don't know how it's pssible to beleive her. And a woman whom she considers a good friend is actually a vicious fox! Riiko's landlady is actually a pervert who just wants to peek at Night all the time. There is a bartender woman who's a good freind and always has something philosphical to say. Soshi and his bro have big problems in understanding each other due to some past unhappy happening. (I suppose) and now there was this creampuff deal...
Well. Night seemed more robot than ever in episode 3. I know Riiko is actually treating him just as machine (as she should)but I pity him so much. It almost feels like he has feelings, poor Night. His charm has affected me xD I wonder if it will ever be possible for Night to make some "evli deeds" since he is feeling jelousy, sadness and happiness. Anyways, I want to see his braclet turn pink

Lacks exitement n chemistry. Still good to watch but it's let down my high hopes as my fav manga. Mokomichi is super cute but sad to say his acting here is too robotic . He may b a robot but there's jus no charm from him performing it. Riko is totally un-kawaii from trying to act kawaii. On the other hand, Hiro's more charming than expected considering i didn't think his looks n height wld measure up to Mokomichi b4.

I think this is one manga that is difficult to make into live action drama.
in manga, you know knight is a robot but in the process of reading, you tend to forget this fact and keep rooting for knight and riko to end up together
i am one of those peple who also think mokomichi's knight is to robotic for me and this what makes it people hard to sympethise with his role. yes, he is a robot, but does he need to be that robotic in his action?
i thought the whole idea of making him like this in the first place was fro people to feel like having a natural boyfriend and with him acting like a total robot, how can riko feel anything but machine towards him.
we only needed to know (or be reminded) of the fact that he is not human in 1st ep.and i sensed so much lack of chemistry in the air too. (but was that intentionally ?)

exactly my thoughts too.
the only delight i found in this drama that makes me keep on watching is Hiro. before watching, i was not so happy about him being in 2nd place but now i totally love and adore his role. he is just perfect in that. all i want to see is more and more hiro scenes.

well it is a funny drama. i haven't read the manga so i'm sure what to expect or even compare the show with, but i'm just sitting back and relaxing waiting to see all the twists and turns the writers have come up with. Riiko obviously has some kind of feelings for Night cause she did buy him. And maybe for her she likes to start out as friends. idk. but thats just my opinion....well im excited to see ep 4 ~~ bye fellow addicts

I bet, they would make the ending Night+Mika and Soshi+Riiko ...
They could make such a great love romance drama, but it's too funny and childish, no emotions, no chemistry. Riika don't even like Night a bit. And that Soshi is so childish.

How annoying, Riko wa...
I hope it will get better, but right now (ep 4), the girl is soooo annoying. It's like she doesn't realize Knight is a robot, responding to him like he is a human with his own thinking. She doesn't treasure him at all, say even as a possession.
Things have to change soon, or as the main character, Riko could kill the drama.... T_T
ep4 does not get any better either. I feel so depressed...the manga ending was sad. episode 4 made me even more sad. Seems like there's no chemistry going on at all.
I have to agree with this. I had high hopes for the drama because the manga was so involving emotionally. When I watch the drama, all I get a sense of from Saki's acting is that Night is a hindrance, she wants to get rid of him, ENDLESS pouting and temper tantrums with only a dash of the exactly the same flashbacks when she actually considers to "save" him from being scrap.
It's kind of sad that the manga characters (who were in high school) seem to be much more mature than the drama characters - especially Riiko.
Unfortunately I find myself fast forwarding the episodes now, the character development in the manga was much better imho. =/
