7. Fantastic! [Rating: 9/10]
Beyond the eye candy, this drama really has the power to convey love. The drama really made me ponder about love and what I look for in my soulmate.
Aibu Saki was really convincing as the righteous Riiko. Hayami Mokomichi was absolutely incredible as Night. He was really convincing as a robot.
I felt the ending was a bit rushed. It would have been nice to have more of a reciprocal relationship between Night and Riko. Right when Riko accepts Night as her Zettai Kareshi, he leaves.
The romantic in me also hoped that they would have lived happily ever after together, but it makes sense.

8. One of the best doramas this year!! [Rating: 10/10]
I finished the series yesterday, this is one of those doramas that you start watching and you dont even notice that you're already watching the last episode, every episode makes u want to watch the next one, it's addictive xD
The story is something I've never seen in a dorama before, a robot love story, and the actors really put on a great effort, Night performance is excellent.
It has the perfect balance between romance, comedy, cuteness and suspense, it has even action! and I cried so much in the ending, it really reaches your heart. Totally recommended !!!! And the ending song is perfect! it has the feeling of the whole series
Reviewed by deedlitmurata on 3 July 2008
9. Almost perfect [Rating: 9/10]
Zettai Kareshi has a silly concept, but runs with it to make an engaging and frequently funny drama. When lonely Aibu Saki contracts for a "love robot," the complications include bonding issues, amorous competition, and the expected repairs. Saki is sweet and understated, and somehow believable as the girl with boy problems and android issues.

I wasn't that interested at first but after the first few episodes Tenjo Night really grew on me (I REEALLY loved Hayami Mokomichi's portrayal of a robot~!!) it was certainly laugh out loud funny in parts but Aibu Saki kinda annoyed me.. maybe it's her acting style but I couldn't take her srsly most of the time (even when it called for it) bcoz she always looked like she was on the verge of laughing?? But fortunately she pulled it together in the last episode.. All in all it was a good watch!

12. Night Kawaii! [Rating: 8/10]
This was a great drama. It was light, silly, fun, and an enjoyment to watch.

The storyline was hugely flawed and totally unbelievable, but because the characters were so much fun, and because I’m sure the writers never once wanted to convince us that this was supposed to be a serious, realistic drama, the flaws are totally forgivable.

Near the end of the drama you do start to unearth more philosophical issues, and question what love is and what it means to be “human”. The end was touching and sad, and if I hadn’t been watching it with my sis (who cried), I would have cried as well.

I was pleasantly surprised by Aibu Saki. I think I’ve only seen her in Attention Please, where she’s not the lead. She did a great job. Hayami also rocked. If I hadn’t seen him already in other dramas, I would have been less impressed. I mean, it’s not hard for teen heart-throbs to act robotic… but he really WAS acting and he did a great drop as the ideal boyfriend.

I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone looking for something light and fluffy to watch as a break from all the other hardcore dramas that are out there. :)

13. An overall decent show [Rating: 7/10]
This is the first time I've seen Saki Aibu in a lead role and I was generally charmed by her. Yes her performance was occasionally a bit over the top but someone who buys a love robot would have to be a little wacky. In fact her performance was about the only thing that kept me with the drama for the first five episodes. The problem I had was that the robot character was annoying me no end initially but by the end of the fifth episode a change occurred and he became much more tolerable.
I have to say that I could never believe the Riiko/Night relationship and so wasn't as touched by it as others here apparently have been. Is it really love if not loving her is impossible? I thought the ending was pretty much the way it should have been. In any case I still enjoyed the show and encourage anyone who finds the premise interesting to give it a view.

Mizushima Hiro is absolutely, as always, gorgeous in this drama. I enjoyed the plot, and the storyline -thinking it would be something unique and different, and well thought out.

However, the ending is what turned me off of this drama completely. I was absolutely ticked off and lost the majority of the respect I had for it.

17. Okaeri, Sweet Heart... Ai wo Arigato! [Rating: 9/10]
This was a cute and fun series. I wasn’t expecting anything from it so that’s why I really enjoyed watching it. The three leads really did a good job plus additional laughs from the supporting casts. I was really convince by Mokomichi’s performance as a robot and he really did prepare for his role. Aibu Saki went passed my expectation since she was always a supporting cast and this was really her very first lead in a full length drama series. While Hiro was the same old Nanba-senpai and I like him for that. As for the ending, I already know it would turn out that way but still, seeing it really makes me sad. And I must say that the BGM's here really fit the different moods in the series plus the ending theme, it was really nice to hear "Okaeri..." at the end of each episodes.

Even though it's quite far from it's original manga storyline, but
this drama still has the original sense and feeling of the actual plotline.
The sadness,happiness and also silliness can be seen and felt throughout the movie.
But, there are some parts that can be emphasized more and the potrayal by the actors are quite ordinary.
Overall, quite enjoyable, if you're just looking for a romentic comedy, this drama can be a choice for you =p

The storyline somehow does not seem to be convincing, but in literary its is more importent HOW something is told rather than WHAT is told....
Zettai Kereshi told the story very well, one starts to think about what love means and what being a human means and that makes this dorama very special.
A non-human figure can touch you as a human. Great!
I can really recomment it!
Ans it even reached my sense of humour!^^

22. Loved this series! [Rating: 9/10]
It has a good mix of humor and drama. You immediately fall in love with Soshi and Night. I have to say I had some issues with Riko. She was just so heartless to Night through the first half of the series. I understand she feels he's like a talking washing machine, but the lengths he goes for her (programming or not) still deserves some pleasantness. But I guess without this detachment in the early start of their 'relationship' you wouldn't see how she develops into the person she is at the end of the series. (Still it bothers me.)

But it's a really fantastic series, I cried A LOT at the end...I can't wait for the special.

That someone would, willingly, let someone they apparently loved kill themselves in a desperate act of absolute adoration is a terrible thought and a tear-spilling, heart-wrenching conclusion.

I'm not sure what's worse; the ending itself or the fact that someone thought anyone could be satisfied with such an abhorrent ending.

At first I was not sure about this drama. A robot? That is mainly what I couldn't get over. However, I decided to watch it, but I always kept in mind that I was in for a comedy.. I was expecting nothing but silly acting. But I have to admit that after watching the first episode, i was hooked! It was funny, and Night was very interesting to look at (the actor did a good job as a robot).

The strange thing is that, I actually found myself caring and feeling for the robot. What can I say, he won me over! He was always trying to be the perfect boyfriend, and he tried very hard.

The drama is very funny. The ending sad, but probably the best way to go. I recommend you watch it, but please, keep in mind that it is fictional, and it will contain corny, silly humor. It's a story about a robot boyfriend, you should now that!

26. Good show [Rating: 8/10]
To be honest, I wasn't hooked after watching the first episode because I felt that the pace was rather slow. But after watching 3-4 episodes, my interest in the drama increased and I was hooked! I cried during the last episode. I guess it appeals to the romantic in me. Riiko is really lucky to have met someone who can love her unconditionally. However, at the same time it's sad falling in love with someone like that because Night cannot build a family and grow old with her... The part where Night shed tears (during the SP) really broke my heart. On a side note, Hayami Mokomochi is SO hot! Woots.

I think the manga writer makes a mockery of human nature. The behaviour of that robot, Nighto, is a contrast to selfish nature of the human characters in this drama. I didn't know manga could turn out themes in literature. Wonderful to say the least.

Maybe it is becaus I luv the manga... but I was really especting much more from this dorama. Even so, Hayami is so hot, after ep.3 he improved a lot on being a robot, because he was not very convincing in the begining.

When I first started watching I was totally rooting for what's-his-name-Hiro's character. But as the series went on... I totally fell in love with the robot. I really wish they had ended up being together forever. Stupid robot death. LoL. Anyway, the acting is horrendous and the story is maybe a little better than so-so.

I enjoyed the manga, so I'm probably biased. I had fun watching this show. I liked how the setting was a bit different from the manga and the characters were older rather than high school students. Hayami Mokomichi did a great job being the sexy, robotic boyfriend and I liked the rest of the cast as well.

I loved the manga so I'm watching the live action series. Hiro Mizushima is keeping this series alive and kicking, he is awesome as my favorite Soushi Asamoto.omg I can't believe I'm crying over the ending of this robot love story. I loved the manga with its high school setting and was head over heels in love with Soshi Asamoto. Hiro Mizushima was perfect as Soshi, I love this man. Mokomichi was the ideal robot boyfriend, lucky Riiko. I loved the adaptation of the series and its more realistic corporate setting. The ending isn't too far from the manga's. I love how the story developed even if its not true to the original manga. Thanks to the sub group and the upload. I loved it. And it gets a 9 because of Hiro!!!!

Silly drama, but it had a lot of heart. With the exception of the cream puff storyline, I thought it was great. Ending was sad, but I loved this drama. This drama is more like an 8.5, but because some episodes dragged (*cough* cream puffs *cough*), I changed my rating to an 8 instead of a 9 like I originally gave it.

This show is interesting and somewhat awkward.. I like Night, but he is a robot. I can't find it how can you fall in love with such thing, robot are machine and somehow this drama shows that robots can actually fall in love and do things on it own. Like a soul of it own.
I like it, somewhat bittersweet and mixed reviewed. The ending was sad and it tears me up. Be sure to have pack of tissue nearby.

i think the cast is a little weak. aibu saki (riiko) seems like a weak, wannabe nodame (ueno juri in nodame cantible), and the guy who plays Night just seems awkward. Mizushima Hiro is just AMAZING though (as expected after his outstanding performance in hama kimi)!!

The worst manga to drama adaptation I've ever seen. The main heroine Riko keeps changing her mind from Soushi to Night every other episode and it pisses me off. She's also bratty and immature for someone in her mid 20s. If they were going to have such an immature character they might as well have left the original high school setting. Just read the manga, this drama is awful.

I was suprised at how much I ended up actually liking this show, the relationship between Night and Riiko was well done and their scenes were what I looked forward to every ep. To me Aibu Saki was the real star of this show, she reminded me a little of Yuko Takeuchi with the 'smile that lights up a room' and brought genuine emotion into moments that could have been a lot cheesier. Good drama overall if your looking for some light entertainment.

Nothing that special, but nevertheless a well elaborated story, which makes you smile and feel sad. I liked all the characters after I became more aquainted with them and wasn't able to figure out my favourite male character, but the end dealed with it in a good way, I think.

I guess there's no such thing as a zettai kareshi/absoulute boyfriend. Night is sweet but it is just too much to handle sometimes. Riiko's character is confusing and frustrating to watch - she doesn't know what she really wants or how she really feels. For once Mocomichi's acting is pretty good, I guess because his robotic acting skills are perfect for this role XD Overall this is a above average sweet romcom if you don't expect too much.

I've read the manga, and the drama is set in different setting although the main storyline about a girl purchasing a lover robot is the same. I must say that whilst reading the manga, Night's movement and speech did not come across as mechanically as it does in the drama. The series starts out a bit annoyingly, as Night tries to win over Riiko's love. But the series gets better as it goes, and it's worthwhile waiting for the last few episodes.

However, as the drama progressed and Night's new found emotions emerged..Mokomichi's acting did become less robotic and more man-like. Of course, Mizushima Hiro's acting as Asamoto Soshi is so-so but I guess his looks makes up for it.

Got much better towards the end so don't be turned off initially~ With its underlying story touching on morals and ethics, and the portrayal of the relationship between Night and Riiko it makes for a sweet drama with a few laugh out loud moments too^^

OMG!! I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!!!! It's so interesting and touching XD. It's so difficult to let my sight out of this drama because none of the parts were boring. Everything was interesting so i had to watch it continuously. It's really really really touching as well and i cried at the 10th and 11th episode. GREAT CAST and all are good looking/pretty! The main actress did a good job. There aren't many talented actresses like her so i hope there will be more dramas of her. Mokomichi and Hiro were excellent as well! I REALLY REALLY love this drama ^^. Everyone,you HAVE to watch it!!

Manga was much better. The drama didn't entice me enough to want to keep watching after the first ten minutes of the first episode. Just wasn't appealing for some reason.

Not so good as I hoped, bad ending...
When i read it was about a robot I imagined this whole thing when you want the human to be with the robot, but it doesnt work if mizushima hiro is another human falling in love! It's just to sad!

Although if you want comedy i laughed a lot during this!

Omg, I (like) KNEW after the first episode that this would be a top-drama! So so excellent! Actually, I don't remember the last time watching a series and wishing that if only it would have been like 10 episodes more. The episodes flew by and then I realized this was the last episode... "SO SOON?!"

Everything is gold in this series! I'm SO surprised by Hayami's acting as the robot, it was toally convincing and I was 100% satisfied. It should be really difficult to act as a robot but he totally blew me away. He was extremely good, it was realistic and nothing was awkward at all. His moves were perfect, ... can't find fitting words to describe!

I'm writing this just seconds after finishing watching the series and I'm happy because it's amazingly beautiful. It's sweet and sad. Geez, just WATCH it. :D

The OST was a great choice too, it was fitting. Ah, I haven't read the manga but after watching this wonderful series, I have to read the manga!

One of my top-rated j-series ever so far! Surprised to the max by the excellentness...

You probably won't find a more RECOMMENDED series than this. XD

Interesting plot and story, and Mizushima Hiro is, as always, so utterly gorgeous. But it was the ending that completely turned me off and ruined this drama for me. I liked it in the beginning, but later on, it was a complete let down.

One of the best doramas I've seen up to date. Light, funny, romantic. And this idea of robot-goes-human just reminded me of my old fav book from childhood (Russian) about same thing (without romance)). One more time: I like the idea. Cast is also good).

Light and funny drama around the concept "what if your perfect boyfriend was a robot" - the good news is that it´s not badly made - something for us girlies with two goodlooking (non-JE) male leads. I only felt that 7, 8 episodes would have been more than enough.

i thought that this drama was really one of the most touchin ones i have ever seen. knight really was the type of boyfriend that all of us guiys should be. mokomichi did a great job in this role. saki was also relli good and the rest of the cast as well. this drama can make you laugh, cry, and sad at times but it is definitely worth watchin =]

112. Comments by 菜奈子 [Rating: 7/10]
Although slightly unrealistic and a bit annoying at the beginning, this drama ENDED fantastically. At the beginning the female (aibu saki) was teeth grindingly annoying. And the robot (having a mind blank here on his name...) was too unhuman to have sympathy for, but i cried in the end, I can't believe I did but I was that touched. Really cute drama I really enjoyed it!

114. Comments by snow_san [Rating: 1/10]
Both writing and acting are weak. None of the characters are fun to watch. Actually the whole cast is forgettable! Aibu Saki plays a some what flaky character (as she's done in her last 2 roles also. Utahime and Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm). She's had no interest in Hayami Mokomichi from the start. Instead of the ideal boyfriend, he's more the stalker. Mizushima Hiro is a slacker workin for his father's company. After tasting one of Aibu Saki's homemade creme puffs, it reminds him of his grandfathers delicious puffs and now he's determined to get them on the market (and do a little work for a change). However the simple look doesn't cut it (no one will even TRY IT!) nor does his older brother approve (who's got like so much hatred in him. I'm not sure what that's all about). And last but not least, Hayami Mokomichi our robot. Well he's a robot. You can imagine how exciting his character is. Or sometimes I wonder if Mizushima Hiro is the robot. Stopped watching after 5 episodes. Watch out for falling billboards...

Such a sweet drama. Aibu Saki did well as Riiko althought many felt that she over-acted. Hayami Mokomichi did really well! The pace of the drama is pretty good too althought somewhere along ep08-10 seems kinda draggy. Overall a romantic-comedy worth watching.

really exceeded my expectations. i wasnt fan of any of the actors but now i think i am. hiro's acting can be improved but i thought hayami and saki had good chemistry. some parts were funny, but there's something this show has that others lack - its story and presentation is genuine and touching. really makes you wish naito was real. spoiler bit** and i can't believe i cried over a robot.

Well i really enjoed this dorama, but i don´t rate it higher because even with all the drama around the robot i really couldn´t make myself care about him, i was allways rooting that Mizushima Hiro´s character would end up with Riko(Aibu Saki).
Anyway it´s a very funny dorama with good drama parts, if the main character weren´t a robot maybe i would had enjoyed more of this dorama.

It has a good mix of humor and drama. You immediately fall in love with Soshi and Night. I have to say I had some issues with Riko. She was just so heartless to Night through the first half of the series. I understand she feels he's like a talking washing machine, but the lengths he goes for her (programming or not) still deserves some pleasantness. But I guess without this detachment in the early start of their 'relationship' you wouldn't see how she develops into the person she is at the end of the series. (Still it bothers me.)

But it's a really fantastic series, I cried A LOT at the end...I can't wait for the special.

Mhh, it took me a long time to get into this.. From episode 6 and up I enjoyed it, but I wasn't so fond of the first half of the dorama.

And I didn't like the actor who played Night. He became anoying at times, but for some reason I kept cheering for him and Riiko to be together.

Aibu Saki was great in this dorama!
The same goes for Mizushima Hiro and Sasaki Kuranosuke.

Ugh, this is the worst drama adaptation ever!! I've never wanted to kick my monitor so much in my life. Riko, is such an indecisive brat, even though she is like 25. Each episode she went from Night to Souchi. Unless you're a masochist just stick with the manga. Believe me, I wish I had.

The changes they made from the manga was for the better. Riiko disappointed me throughout the 80% of the series for not treating Night well, but everything wrapped up towards the end. A very heart-warming, romantic drama.

Love this drama...it's so touching and rikko Night pair is so cute...I feel sorry for night in the first few episode cos it looks like he wasn't appreciated but I think I understand rikko why she's cold to night cos I think she was just avoiding to have an emotional attachment to night.. I also thinks that she really likes night in those first episodes but still confuse...

anyways...love this drama...

this reminded me of an anime called boku no marie that i watched a very long time ago.

a sweet drama slightly geared towards otaku..

aibu saki has a very cute smile
