That's what I love about not watching dramas for a long time...you come back to see all this good news!!! I'm really excited about this! I bought the last Japanese manga in the series and re-"read" the ending over and over again even though I don't know Japanese lol.
Not sure if this is a spoiler but just in cases...

Actually I think this is one of the manga that I wouldn't mind if they changed it up a bit. I like the manga story a lot, but I feel that can make the plot more interesting. If you think bout it, its just a hot boy and a childhood friend, plus a evil best friend and robot 1 2 3 4 then thats bout it for the characters.
I dunno I haven't watched it yet, but I look forward to watching this.

looking forward to the next :D
I read the first couple of books in the manga a while back and when I found out there was going to be a drama I was so excited, especially after seeing the male leads So far I really like it! Can't wait for episode 2 Anyone else?

I also watched the first episode! Hmm to be honest the first like 30-40 minutes bored me a bit but the ending scene made my heart toki toki
All i can say is that i love Mokomichi's acting as Naito !! And i can already feel sorry for Soshi Hiro acts super funny and sweet in the beginning before realizing he has feelings for Riiko.
This is hard because i want Riiko to end up with both of them I just can't choose.
As for Aibu Saki. I have only seen her in Attention Please till now. In my opinion her acting is the same. The cute, funny, baka-ish girl

Thanks for the links Nomanymore! (I was so excited I posted them on my blog...^^U)
Kyaaa!!! naito rabu rabu! I liked it a lot! (with subs it will be better... lol)
Soshi was so cute eating those pastries at the end.
Ooooo... the evil friend...
But naito melts my heart... even though he's a robot. I blame my attraction to sci-fi for that.
The ending song/credits vid...

Just finished downloading first episode, love it! =D
It'll be better with subs though.

Kind of agree with that. Not too big on her and I've always seen her play supporting roles, pretty weird to see her as main lead.haruna_hamasaki wrote:First episode looks great. Hopefully it will getting better. I love all casts but honestly I don't know why the actress must be Aibu Saki...
Finnally I watched first ep!!! I'm sooo happy
I didn't understand much but who cares
Must say that they didn't left much from the original plot... But still love it. And that guy who plays Night... Hayami Mokomichi-san... (thanx drama wiki ) He is so funny. He is really good as a robot. I can't wait for next episode.
But why do they had to change almost everything? Can't understand that.
Maa... Maybe it won't be that bad.. I will pretend that I didn't read manga

Actually Mokomichi is pretty tan himself, so it's not like they're making him look tan, he just is. I do agree he was too stiff, too robotic like. The manga made him look more natural.<3s-tei. wrote:Er.. Dunno if this is considered spoilers, but I'll put it in the tags anyway...
[/spoiler]
Soushi...hmmm....I kinda feel like his character seems a bit off compared to the manga.
Rika...eck sorry I just don't really like the actress playing her. It just doesn't seem to fit everytime I saw her it's like Rika? I don't know, that's just me though.
The story line so far...eh....I don't know, it's ok I guess. I'm a huge fan of Watase-san's work and this is the first one I've seen that's made into a live drama instead of an anime...I guess I'll have to wait and see, it's the first episode after all.

Aibu Saki is really an average actress, but I think she is doing find so far. She actually kinda fit Riko's image. Not extremely outstanding looking, kinda cute and innocent. She did a lot of supporting role, but recent she played girl lead in Utahime. She did REALLY well in the drama and great chemistry with Tomoya Nagase, everyone should totally should check it out.
So far I am happy with all the changes they made. The manga is a little bit lacking for a drama.

I just watch the first episode and well, I can't really say much but Soushi is not supposed to be a player!!! And Mokomichi playing as Night is probably planned because he's the only one who can play a robot (true his acting is really too stiff, no range of emotions whatsoever but heck his smile is still cute)
As for Riiko, I've seen Aibu Saki from Attention Please (hated her annoying character actually) and Karei Naru Ichizoku (sister to KimuTaku) and well she's an ok actress and since Riiko also annoyed me in the manga, I guess Saki-chan fits the mark.
Ahh, its just hard to compare the manga with the drama because of all the changes. I mean come on, they are supposed to be in high school, not an office environment. Guess I'll have to treat this drama as something totally new and not compare it with the manga. If it's like that, I'm liking Zettai Kareshi Live Action version so far.

I was finally able to watch episode 1 tonight. It was a bit different from what I expected...probably because of the changes from the manga. ^^;;
but all in all, I was quite surprised to see Hiro suited for his role as Soshi. In the beginning I had my doubts because I saw him more fit to take on the role of "Night" instead.
Either way, the eye candy here is pretty high. Both Hiro and Mokomichi are as hot as ever~

i have watched it!!! and i highly recommend this Jdrama for everyone!!!! its so funny to see the main cast act like that and to think that some of the hana kimi actors are in it gives me a sense of nostalgia...
i haven't really read the manga. so i have no clue. but i would REALLY want to know whom she ends up with so i could have a mind set to whom i should like. lolz...
this is the first time i've heard of this manga and drama. so far as i looked into the manga concept it has a very different plot from this LiveAction.
mokomichi's eyes and profile reminds me of a student i had this year. not a good sign, coz i hated that student!!! but still... mokomichi looks good, and i love hiro's character here rather than the one in the manga. (sorry for those who had loved it) this is just my opinion.
i would agree with Rori that i'm voting for Hiro. if this was a fairy tale and they're going to make mokomichi a real man in the end i might have voted for him instead since for sure they're going to make the perfect chemistry for the Knight and Riko.
aibu saki's hairstyle here reminds me of nodame's hair cut. lolz... it's pretty weird looking at her since i get to think she's nodame sometimes even though they don't have any profile similarities at all. just the hair. and shouldn't she have a longer hair than that? i looked into the manga and her hair is shoulder length and not short like that. (was she wearing a wig?)
anyways im also happy to see her get a chance to have a lead role this time. hopefully she does good and with Hiro in it??? Im so going to get hooked!
kyaaaa...!!! so that's what really happens as for the ending?Alecsa-chan wrote:I read the manga 2 years ago and i wanted it to be turned into an anime so bad! But they're now making a drama instead
To be honest i think that *don't read this if you haven't read the manga ! *But what do you think about Aibu Saki as Riiko?

So, I found out about this dorama adaption a little later than everyone else (perhaps on the fifteenth or so), and I remember thinking 'wow! A dorama!'. But I was also very worried about it, since Absolute Boyfriend has such a difficult storyline to pull off.
I can say now that I am a very big fan of the manga, and I've read the entire thing at least more than twice. I'm not one of those hard-core manga fans who insists on having the drama fit perfectly to the manga, but I was willing to let that all slide if the show was good enough.
Of course, by the fifteenth, the casting had been revealed.
I must say, I've only ever seen Mizushima Hiro in action, as opposed to the other two, never having heard of Aibu Saki, and only seeing a few scanned pictures of Hayami Mokomichi. I, unlike the majority of this thread, cannot possibly see Hiro as Night--he's simply too... how do I say, peppy? At least, that was my impression from Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. I also don't like him as Soshi, although I do think he fits the general character he has been turned into. However, I get ahead of myself.
Hayami Mokomichi, though not my first choice, does turn out for a great Night. However, having read the first manga book at least five or six, I would have assumed this drama character would have been more, how do you say, interesting? Night was entirely too robotic, his facial expressions ranging from a blank stare to a slight smile to a frown to a look of feigned confusion. I understand he's supposed to be a robot, but couldn't he range his emotions a bit more?? I hate that he's so lacking. Also, he was so enthusiastic in the manga, smiling at each mention of sex and actually making attempts at it--not suggesting it in a monotone voice, with the blandest facial expression. Emotion, please?
Also, Gaku Namikiri's character disappointed me to no end. He's not a giant part of the story, but I was expecting a younger, hotter, cosplay-wearing guy with a funky, pushy personality, and I got a strange old man in boring clothes. Also, isn't Gaku's boss supposed to be a young, young child? He looks to me to be an old man. T_T
There are a few other problems I had, mostly with the storyline, and a few other character things. However, I don't have the time to delve into it all and anyway, most of it would be spoilers. I end my rant with a wish for the original ending, for such a thing is where I hold my faith.
I want Riiko to end up with Night. I don't like Soshi. T_T

I haven't read the manga but I thought the actor for Knight was okay? Since he's a robot he's stoic. But I guess if the manga had him more lively, maybe the actor could have done a better job. I laughed every time he suggested having sex LOL I think it would be funnier though if like you said he did make attempts at it ^^; Crazy robot ^^Tsuyunoinochi Koukyo wrote: Hayami Mokomichi, though not my first choice, does turn out for a great Night.

I have to admit, I like the change in Soshi to a player. I think it adds more tension. No way would Riko go for a guy like that! But he's going to change and she's going to change - the differences and the misunderstandings will make for good tv. Better than the "the perfect guy who was there all the time" kind of guy he was in the manga.

speaking as someone who never read the manga, i think the first episode was awesome! moko and hiro together in a dorama is LURVE! bring back the memory of Gokusen 2 a little bit while watching Hiro and the other guy Riiko liked remind me of Hana Kimi definitely my favorite dorama of the season!
saki aibu was not bad too. i think i started to like her better
saki aibu was not bad too. i think i started to like her better
Huh? What do you mean, when you say 2 Kamen Riders? Hayami is not a KR...nor he ever acted in Hana Kimi Correct me, if I'm wrong, but ...fleng wrote:lol 2 Kamen riders playing the male interest, 2 Hana Kimi Ikemen in it with the awesomely adorable Suzu aibu.
Dorama is pure win.
"Do you want to have sex together?"
lol!
Anyway, the catchfrase of Night is really really funny ...too bad, they changed Soushi's character that much, but yeah ..whatever... Hiro is always the best ...

I absolutely agree with You!!! You shared my thoughts, so I haven't got anything else to say...
Aaah so, you mean Nobuo Kyo...yes, I remembered..but he isn't really a Kamen Rider, imho He was in a first or a second episodes of Kamen Rider Kiva, but as a guest, not a real Kamen Rider...anyway...thx for reminded me ^-^mrsmilevskyi2001 wrote: i think he meant Ishikezu (is that his name?) the mean guy who Riiko liked at first. he played the dorm 3 leader in HK and also used to be a kamen rider

By mentioning 2 kamen rider did fleng mean, Mizushima Hiro and Hayami Mocomichi?? Hiro, of course like everybody know, he was the KR Kabuto. And I saw Mocomichi's filmography, he was in Kamen Rider Faiz (555): Paradise Lost (2003). Well I'm not quite sure bout this, since I'm not fan of toku.fleng wrote:lol 2 Kamen riders playing the male interest, 2 Hana Kimi Ikemen in it with the awesomely adorable Suzu aibu.
