Zettai Kareshi - 04
Woooooww
they changed so many things around I have to rant. All the great things about the love of the “robot boyfriend” that were in the manga were basically thrown out in the drama. I mean really what’s the point of calling it “absolute boyfriend” when they coulda just called it “absolute robot lover” or something. He’s not Riko’s boyfriend in her eyes and never was since day one. Even when her “best friend” (which was demoted to “friend” this week) takes him, she goes off flirting with her boss. Wtf 
So basically the whole episode Night ends up chasing Mika. At first Riko tries to get him back by kissing him but only because she still has to pay for him even if he belongs to someone else!! In the manga she wanted him back because she truly loved him and thought of him as her boyfriend. But no, here its just some “responsibility” or “debt”. In the meantime she’s all like “yay I get to go on a date with the shacho and we get to make cream puffs together ^__^” Wtf. 
To make things worse, I thought that Night would return by remember about Riko while trying to save her. False hope. Riko ended up saving HIM because he was sitting in a burning restaurant waiting for Mika to show her whore ass up. So Riko got a call from Gaku who begged her to come help and she ran into the smoke filled place, and kissed him while he closed his eyes for a short moment. Immediately he was “reset” but what made it similar to the manga is he had restored all his memories with Riko. No seriously, wtf.
What is the point of this? I mean the entire thing was supposed to be about the love/relationship between Riko and Night…but it’s turning out to be the love between Riko and Soushi and Night is some kind of cockblocking side character. And the worst part is how Riko is totally forgiving to Mika for all of this even though Mika is a freaking man stealing whore…oh yes because Night’s a robot so stealing him is ok. Wtf. Also, where the hell were the firemen the whole time? It’s like they waited for Riko to come save Night while he sat there in a burning building and no one called or did anything?
Upcoming Attractions: Soushi confesses to Riko. Where the hell is this drama going?

I didn’t read the manga, but I love the drama (probably because I can’t compare it). I actually like the idea of Riko and Soshi, he’s human at least, plus Hiro is hot!
Ugh, this Riko is really pissing me off, really, who the heck remains friends with some man-stealing whore.
The main appeal of the manga was the relationship that both Riko and Night developed even when knowing that he was a robot, and by throwing that out the charm the manga had is lost…
What the HELL?! This was one of my favorite chapters, and they RUINED it!
I loved it cuz Riko did do it because she felt lonely and really loved him. And when Riko was about to fall off the building, she’s like “Help me, Night!” and Night comes to her rescue. And Riko says “Night! I wanted to kiss you…” and so NIGHT is the one that kissed her purposely and he forgets all about the random whore.
WTF with the changes? This drama is starting to suck ass.
yeah, i’m so totally hating this episode! i like the manga better~ sad to say~ i cried reading the manga because Night and Riiko is the main characters and i liked that idea but since you’ve mentioned that this episode now focus on Soshi and Riiko~ i hate it!!! i want Riiko and Night the center of the story~ they should at least follow some on the manga~ at least not making it all new and confusing~ and the fact that Riiko is not Soshi’s childhood friend/neighbor , the mood now~ its totally different from the manga! they should follow the manga! i am fine with Riiko not as a HS student here~ i hope taiwan will make there own version based on the manga now~ i hate Mika~ she’s a cunning bitch here~~~pretending to be Riiko’s bestfriend /friend even in day one!!! ~she should cut off those friendship connections with Mika~ can somebody tell that to the scriptwriter~ this is totally wrong! i can’t forgive any of my friends if they’ll steal my man even if this one is just a robot or something!!!
lol awww….i guess in a way i’m “saved” because i didn’t actually read the manga. therefore, i’m not super keen on a love between a human and a robot either. i mean…looking at night (as a human) of course they make a hot couple but not so sure about that when i look at him as a pure robot..with fake skin and…heart and.. all.
anyhow, i totally get though that that’s the whole point of the manga! and for people who read it, this must be terribly disappointing for them. but for someone like me, i’m not so irked. i think soushi is a lovable character in the drama and should spice things up a bit between the two mains.
Geez, and here I thought they were going to fix all these things I didn’t like from the manga.
I still think there should’ve been an anime adaptation instead.
OMG they killed the whole essence of the goddamn manga. I downloaded the first ep of this series (yet to watch), but not gonna bother following it.
It seems that everyone wants it to go back to “Loli and her robot boyfriend”. Other than that, I’m enjoying watching nothing. It’s kinda disturbing to have free time to do everything else.
To hell obviously. And not coming back.
The men in the office are like so oblivious to (K)night. I mean he goes riding down the hall on a chair holding a bouquet of roses and Soushi is like ‘whatevs’. Hee
I’m getting so annoyed with this drama!
Most of all, I really dislike the main character Riko. Maybe I dislike both the character and the actress. So far I haven’t seen any chemistry between Night and Riko, and she’s a freakin idiot running around and ignoring Night. Probably the only character I even remotely like is Night… every other character I either dislike or don’t give a crap about. 
Yep as everyone says, the “essense” of the manga story has pretty much been thrown out
I like the drama, but I have problems with the changes. I know that turning a manga into a drama is not easy, but I think they’re changing too many things that didn’t have to be changed. And Soshi is so messed up. He’s nothing like in the manga. And I hate the fact that they’re making Night just some robot. Nothing else. In the manga he fell in love with Riko. That’s what made him special, not the “I was made to love you and be this way”. He was a different robot. He had feelings. Where are those feelings??
I really don’t see this drama ending nicely in any way.
I’m finding this Riiko unbearably annoying. I went into this series feeling there was definite room for improvement over the manga, but they seem to be deteremined to change the drama in ways that cause the story and characters to make no sense. What the hell is the point of Night even being in the drama at this rate?
Oh wow I seem to be in a minority with this drama, I really enjoy it ^^ and I have read the manga. Wasn’t a huge fan to be fair cos of the whole human x robot thing. I am/was rooting for Soshi all the way.
True there have been a lot of changes but none have them have irked me too much to be fair. It did bug me a lil bit that Riiko was so nasty to Night and like in the manga I don’t enjoy Mika.
But apart from that… Fingers Crossed for Riiko and Sosho all the way ^-^
