I still remember how 10 plus years ago I came across this manga in a bookstore - 絶対彼氏. It seemed like nothing special and yet it got me curious . In 2008, the Japanese tv version was aired, and I loved how they portrayed the characters, only that it was a sad ending for Night Tenjou. It was followed by the Chinese version which had me sorely disappointed due to the bad casting.

The Korean version was aired this year and boy, was I excited. I am surprised with their choice of male lead for Zero Nine. Even more surprised that it is the adult version of the boy who acted in The Moon Embracing the Sun. Yeo Jin Goo did such a stellar job on this one, even though Jong Hyun made him look a bit on the short side. The cast was solid for this masterpiece and the Koreans had more development on the plot as compared to the Chinese. Being a fan of Zettai Kareshi, the Korean version just reminded me why a decade ago I loved this series. Yeo Jin Goo acted very well as a naive robot, whose only purpose is to love. There is amazing chemistry between him and Min-Ah.

The highly evil character in this show (Diana) portrayed by Hong Seo Young was just amazing. The resting btch face aside, her acting convinced you that she is a born psychopath who's lonely and delights in torturing robots. I like how this is such a romantic and light-hearted drama which slowly climbs onto a climax (Zero nine is melting down ...). The romance between Nam Bo Won and Yeo Woong is crazily funny as well. I think the best acting in this show apart from Jin Goo has to be that of Sung Won (Nam Bo Won). As the drama draws to an end, I do hope for once that Zero Nine gets to survive??? The Zettai Kareshi I know has a normal romance storyline, cliche even. But yet the interaction between a human and her love for a mere robot is no doubt touching. This version of ZK is the best I have watched yet. I would recommend those who love a lighthearted romance and who would like to find the meaning of love to watch this show. I like the casting because they showed that love has no boundaries and it does not merely look upon one's looks or nature to be loved.
