I so want one of those robot is it's TOP.. *drools*

#LETSPRAYFORTOPLESSTOP

I rest my case.

Wait what?! Another remake? haha.
If it's Zettai Kareshi, then it HAS to be someone with a similar charisma as HayaMoko. For real, he was amazing as a robot. I wouldnt say that it was his best drama but it was one that he became famous for...

That said, I really cant see Haneul OR TOP being in that drama...
The "Riiko" character was different; her life was essentially changed by Tenjo Night. Kim Haneul comes off as a woman that doesnt really need a man to change her life haha. :D

I hope it works out that; it seems like an interesting storyline to adapt into Korean entertainment. Something different...

If anything, it'd be interesting if they remade something like Hana Kimi or Ikebukura West Gate Park...

Javabeans just described Chris Evans career. Fantastic Four to other comic book movie to a another comic book movie.

I might have a peak at this drama BUT i've never been fond of this managa/drama/movie concept of having a robot boyfriend... it just felt wrong on so many levels even though i think it tries to go for a sweet and sad sort of feel, it just irks me too much

Can't believe this is being remade in Korea too. Especially with a Taiwanese adaptation set to air in the near future with Gu Hye Sun.

kim haneul : luckiest woman ever

The show's premise is actually (*semi-spoiler*) that the heroine gets dragged into trying this robot (1st of its kind) as an experiment.. she doesn't order it. Not sure if that will help with the whole creepy premise..

You shld try to watch Zettai Kareshi aka absolute boyfriend. Although the premise is ridiculous, it's quite fun. Plus, Mokomichi is a sight to see!

I'm not seeing that charisma (and perfection) that Hayami Mokomichi had as Night in TOP. He was too beautiful to be real and hence perfect as the robot. Don't know TOP but googling his pic he's pretty but not in the too-beautiful-to-be-real/stop-you-on-the-street/jaw dropping way.

Although I didn't love the jdorama - some frustrating bits and too sad in the end.

errr. I don't know but I was totally imagining Our resident Man-Child Uhm Tae Woong playing sexb... oops I mean Robot.
He's so ridiculously dorky and awkward that I'm gunning for him to grace my (computer) screen with his prowess...
Victor, I mean Top as Terminator Robot? LOL he's got so much 'swag' that it just... yeah he's hot.
iiiiiinteresting...

I just find it sooooo wrong that TOP is casted as robot-lover. I mean, robot-lovers are scary and his face ain't helping. He is good looking, in a really intimidating, menacing way.

Why not the guy from SKKS, the one with the mane of glory?

Well anyway, as long as it isn't JGS, I'm happy.

I'm so agree with the 1 comment "not that I hate her" but she is OLD for that character.. I watched the drama and loved it.. Top as the Absolute BF Doll is perfect for the role but please change the lead also she already did You're my pet which she was perfect for the role "her age, look" I hope she doesn't agree with this!!! One remake is enough give other bright young actress the change please!!

Another remade for Zettai Kareshi??..I'm looking forward for Taiwanese version since Kyu Hye Sun(GeumJanDi BOF) is the lead role..^^

if i was to order a bot, it'd be Kang Dong Won !
he's got the androgyny yet handsome look pat.
...if only this waited till he got out of the army

after this Kim Haneul will play Hana Kimi adaptation, oh wait, she's too old to play high school girl, LOL...
TOP as a robot is fine, but in zettai kareshi, the robots were supposed to be the ultimate dream of women, handsome, chiseled, etc...

It worries me too. Tenjo Knight in the jdrama is all smiley 80% of the whole thing. And with the "Rika, let's have sex" dialogues while smiling..
I can't imagine TOP doing it. It will be kind of creepy and akward...
(No offense meant).
I think he is more suited to play the cool, unsmiling guy.
Maybe he could be the lead for the remake of Mei-chan no Shitsuji (if there is going to be one).

Oh my gosh this manga has sad ending with the robotss arghhh I hate it

Wish TOP will be the neighbour and other actor as tenjo maybe someone like jong ki or jang geun suk

i liked the dorama but I'm questioning this remake, even more so now that TOP and Haneul are contenders..I just can't see them doing such a great job...this is normally why i always hate remakes, because I compare and nothing really ever beats the original version.
FYI, in the dorama, she doesn't order Night (the boyfriend robot) she is sort of conned/forced to try it, lol, sounds weird but if you watch the dorama you'll understand

the plot sure sounds really similar to my own favourite daydream...except the TOP robot sits in a collection alongside a Lee Min Ho robot, a Lee Dong Wook robot & a Lee Seung Gi robot- hey a girl can dream!!!

I love zettai kareshi!
Where can I order my very own Robot?
GF I agree with you! There's only one reason why we order those perfect robot!

OMG!!! I'm in the middle of watching ep 7 of japanese drama version, and this news is coming out!!
Actually, if you watch the jap vers, absolute boyfriend is (much much) less creepy than you're my pet and I can't picture kim ha neul as Riiko. Riiko has innocent charms, while kim haneul's is more mature.

Anyway, I can't wait to see who will be playing Hiro's role. Basically, I'm watching Zettai Kareshi for Hiro :D

er, TOP has this certain "blank" look on his face so I guess that's why he got casted in the first place? LOL. I just can't see him playing Moko's Tenjo Night. OR is he gonna be Soshi instead?

I don't mind about the story, Japanese version was really good, and i was really have the same thoughts as you, when I read the synopsis, before actually watching.
But what bothers me is that the casting is really bad.]
The age difference is too much and also, TOP's face is not robot-ish. Creepy, yes. Fierce yes, emotionless, NO.

If they wanted a robot boyfriend then the ''Mischievious Kiss'' lead would be the perfect cast. He plays as such anyway.

....0.o;; personally i think this should just stick to the manga. NOT a korean drama adaptation

Im no SuJu fan but im a fan of the japanese version, and im thinking that Siwon is the perfect Tenjo Night...
I'm imagining the japanese version scene where Night was spraying water on his topless body after push-ups (coz you know, robots don't sweat... lol), poses and asks...
"Am I sexy?"

If its Siwon... im gonna swoon... lol

Now I love me some TOP, but I am dubious about this casting. It would be better suited to a manly and yet still boyish cutey patootey like Lee Minho or maybe Yoo Geon.

Top rumored for many dramas in this year but it didnt happen.YG is smart, i do not think they choose this project while so many people want to see TOP in a drama (especially me,love him,melting eyes and smile),they wouldnt re-re-re-make this script again,but if it is true,i think,its just YG tactics to draw attention from Japanese people,after the GD's marijuana scandal in Japan.But anyway,even if Top would stand in front of the camera for hours,i can accept it without hesitation.and yeah prayfortoplesstop

knowing the manga world, i feel that the whole thing was premised on the robot being a.... erherm, sexbot. but the manga just went down the path of purer romance. didn't like the jdrama. it was just too weird. hahhaha

I saw the Japanese version of the show and I just find it hard to wrap my mind around the concept of her falling in love with a robot... but I always say you can fall in love with a duck if you wanted to.
Besides that are we sure that T.O.P. is ready for a leading role? I mean I love to see that kid clip his nails but still....
I guess it depends on who will be the second lead guy. Who knows; perhaps Korea will pull this off better than Japan, though the concept itself is ludicrous....

lol

I do love me some Top, but somehow i dont quite see him in this role. With his looks AND his voice, errr i'm having doubts. Then again wasnt much of a fan of the jdorama, i find it a tad too wacky for my taste. But If they were making a kdrama adaptation, i'm thinking Lee Dong Wok would fit the role. He's pretty, quite ripped from what i've seen in Scent of a Woman and mature looking. Oh well, if they do go on with Top, i'd definitely watch it. Yes, lets pray for toplesstop!

I really love the Japanese version & I hope they dont ruin it cuz sometimes the original is just way better than the remake.
On a side note, Kim Haneul is really lucky to act along side gorgeous guys >____<

I love TOP......but the boy can't act.

And you're gf is right...he look a bit too scary for the role.

I enjoyed the manga more than the drama, but I did enjoy them both (watched the drama mainly for Hiro though <3). On one hand, I'm liking the idea of a Korean remake and on another hand I'm not sure. TOP is definitely robotic but....hmmm...well, if you've watched the Secret Big Bang paradoy, you'd know he's not afraid to do wacky. So maybe he can pull off asking her for sex while wearing a smile and there's no way he can not go topless because that's the essence of Zettai Kareshi. Kim Ha Neul is older yeah, but just like how they rewrote the storyline for the drama, they can just do the same here. She's a capable actress, so I have no doubt she'd do well.

Hmmm....Zettai Kareshi. I might look forward to it after all.

Isn't this the same as Bicentennial Man, which is kinda creepy in a way. But it was understandable because the robot grew up with her so he's a very warm figure to her.

But this just sounds too different. I don't think i can invest emotions in a robot loving the girl and vice versa.

By the way, KHN might be getting old but she sure gets prettier with age. She's so gorgeous now.

Japanese dramas have this candy-coated reality in which funky, bording on downright kinky, things can happen and no one bats an eye because it feels so natural. the live action zettai kareshi is a prime example of this. but i don't know how well that'll translate over into Korean drams. they're not realistic per se, but they're a lot more so than japanese manga adaptations.

i hope they cast someone good as the second male lead. asamoto soshi was an endearing, scene-stealing (although that might have been because of mizushima hiro) character.

I loved the manga version, but hated the jdrama version, Riiko in the drama acted like such a b****that it made my blood boil. Hope the k version has a different approach.

That was ridiculously hilarious and pretty much followed the exact conversation that took place in my head when I first read this. haha!

So is this a rom-com with a...sad ending? Meh. I would like to see TOP again in, well, anything - but actually he's pretty good at comedy, based on Big Bang's parodies. The Secret Garden parody is HILARIOUS.

And speaking of hilarious - OMG this post, LMAO. Seriously.

this is just wayy to convenient for kim haneul to jump into another japanese drama remake..

i'm surprised that korea hasn't done Hana kimi yet, since taiwan and japan (2 times) have done a remake/drama... but zettai kareshi is already going to be airing in taiwan soon with Fahrenheits Jiro which i'm skeptical about since the jdrama adaptation was fine.. but we'll see how this passes.

I agree with a lot of people.. TOP will be a bit scary but maybe they'll give him sunglasses to cover up his eyes and then he wont look as scary.. haha. :D

Thanks for posting girls and love the dialog JB and GF! Definitely hilarious and too funny you two!

Dear Javabeans and Girlfriday,

You're amazing for my abs. They are one step closer to becoming Ha Ji-won's abs. However, if I continue to work my abs out in this way, I won't be able to breathe. Please refrain from too much hilarity in the future.

Thank you,

Raine

I actually like the manga more than the Japanese live action. I didn't even make pass the last couple of episodes of the jdrama. It not like it was bad but it was I don't know. . just a 'i watch this later, later, if I have time. . if" kind of drama. Isn't there going to be a Taiwanese version too? Anyway yeah speaking as a fangirl, I will watch it for my hubby Top. :DDDD Does this mean we can see Top . . Toplesss HAHAHAH *okay being a freak now.
