Before I continue, this review might contain spoilers so any anti spoiler you can just not read it.

This drama consist of 11 episode and is adapted from manga "Zettai Kareshi" or in english, Absolute Boyfriend. People reviewed that the manga version and drama version is way too different in their story line, but I watch the drama 1st before read the manga and I found out the drama is quite good even different from the original story line ^^

So here's some review. This drama is about a young woman, Rikko who always got rejected by boys since she was in school. She was always descri One day she met a scientist named Namikiri by co-incidence and he said he will change her love life. The scientist brought Rikko to a company named Kronos Heaven and gave her to answer a set of question about an ideal boyfriend. Rikko without thinking further just answered the questions thinking that it just some sort of normal survey. After that she just left the company.

By the next day, a huge parcel came to her house. And when she opened it her "ideal boyfriend" is inside!! Its a human look-alike robot >.< Since that, Rikko's life changed, living with robot who always said "I love you" all the time, cleaning the house, cook for her, doing house chores but sleep in toilet everyday. Rikko even named the robot as Tenjo Night, a knight who always protecting her.

Rikko treated Night more to "house appliance" since it just a robot. Meanwhile Night, being a first series of love robot encountered several error while on his way protecting Rikko and the error somehow caused Night to developed real human feelings instead of just a programmed robot. And its slowly has captured Rikko's heart. But at the same time, Rikko's boss, Soushi also has a feeling towards her, which put Rikko in dilemma position.

Rikko who really fond of man's love started to fall in love with her boss due to that they always spent time together working on new sweet (they work in sweet company). Night aware of that, but still try his best to accommodate Rikko and give all his love as an ideal boyfriend. One day, Night saved Rikko from being hit by a car and "injured" him self badly, which caused him for a major repair. Since that Rikko caught her eye on Night while at the same time hold her feeling towards his boss.

After Night was repaired, Rikko start to treat him better which make Night feel very happy. However day by day Night keep encounter function error since his major repairment. At the same time Soushi confessed his feeling to Rikko and Rikko said she have the same felling too.
And also at the same time, both of them were offered for sweet making training in Paris for 3 years, and planned to go together. But going to Paris with Soushi means she must left Night alone in Japan.

Night who knows about the plan willing to let Rikko go to Paris for the sake of her dream to become patstisizer. Rikko are pleased with Night willingness to let her go to Paris. At the same time Kronos Heaven plan to disposed Night since they considere it as a faulty product for having a human feelings. They came to collect Night on the day Rikko going to depart to Paris and said it just for a maintainnance. Rikko who never suspect of anything just let the company took Night for the "repair". However, Namikiri who was eventually being suspended for being protective to his robot night, managed to escape and called Rikko about the real situation. Rikko ran quickly to the Kronos Heaven and told Soushi she cant leave Night. She managed to save Night from being terminated.

Rikko finally realized how Night is important to her, and decided to live her life together with Night. However, Night chip system become weaker due to a lot of battle that he already going through and eventually he was going to die. Knowing of his fate, Night wrote a letter to Soushi to take care of his girlfriend when he gone. During his last period of life time, Night spent his time with Rikko by dating, and having party with their collegue. Rikko even gave Night a knitted mufler on the last day they were together. During the final night when Rikko was sleeping, Night kissed Rikko for a last time, leave the house and find his inventor, Namikiri. Night finally ceased functionning infront of Namikiri and the last word he said was "Rikko" while looking at the knitted mufler.
