Ready for another manga remake?
After the unbelievable popularity of 2008’s “Boys Over Flowers” remake, rumor has it that South Korea will take on another classic Japanese manga with a cult following: “Absolute Boyfriend.“
Here the plot: Riiko, a lonely high school student (again?), ignorantly designs an “absolute boyfriend” on a website and orders him, thinking that everything is a silly game. When her order surprisingly arrives the next morning, she follows the instructions manual and kisses him in order to, well, turn him on. And to avoid paying a fortune for her absolute boyfriend, whom she names “Night,” she agrees to help the company conduct research on women’s attitudes towards men (to perfect future absolute boyfriend models). As the story progresses, Night begins to feel human emotion and care for Riiko. Unfortunately, a love triangle come into play with Riiko’s childhood friend Soshi. On top of all this, Night is a robot and Riiko is still in high school.
