My Absolute Boyfriend

Choosing AI Love

I didn't think I would enjoy this drama as much as I did. Unlike a lot of people, I actually found the FL to be both relatable and a round character. I was rooting for her, as I was rooting for the ML, as well as the SML.

The SML took the FL for granted, and made his popularity and career the main focus of his life, Which then led to him neglecting her, and being a bad boyfriend. That wasn't something that made me hate him though. He had depth of character, and ended up seeing the error of his ways. The FL was coming to grips with falling for a non-human, who would have possibly ended up loving anyone who found themselves accidently kissing him awake, somehow. 😆 She had very understandable reason for not accepting the AI love of the most beautiful man.... robot, I mean, on the planet.

I didn't find the FL annoying as others have. I found her strong-minded and relatable, and although maybe clumsy at times, she was more interesting of a character than the stereotypical K-drama FL. I did find myself skipping parts in the story about the scientists who made the robot, and I did drop it once, but then picked it up again later, mostly on account of SML and FL interaction, which is what I enjoyed the most.

I was super excited for this drama, that I've literally devoured the first episodes till the point turn out to be sloppy. I like the idea of a robot-human interaction, but it is really nothing new and the main actress (Minah) was really bad. Everything is messy, unnatural and sometimes dumb on actions and stories, that all of the doen't amke a real sense.
I dropped it till i waited for the last episode to be aired just to read the enidng, that i know disappointedmany people due to is strange plot...

Frustrating AF

I found "My Absolute Boyfriend" to be one of the most frustrating shows I've ever watched. After eight episodes, I had to stop due to rising stress levels. I've never been a fan of Yeo Jin Goo and his Frankenstein’s monster like head. I don’t find his acting compelling at all and has lost the potential he showed in The Moon Knight Embracing The Sun. I decided to give the show a chance because I like Bang Min-Ah, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to keep me engaged.

In my opinion, Yeo Jin Goo's character was incredibly annoying. Additionally, the show fails to capture the essence of the manga it’s adapted from. Although it's been a while since I watched the Taiwanese version, I recall it being significantly better.

It's hard to pinpoint whether the blame lies with the actor, the writer, or the director, but it seems to be a combination of all three. It's a shame to see such a promising story concept poorly executed.

Si sa che gli adattamenti live-action migliori sono quelli giapponesi, quelli coreani di solito non eccellono per la loro fedeltà al cartaceo. Però questo drama era partito veramente benissimo e mi ha fatto sperare in una storia, non proprio fedele al manga, ma che ne manteneva comunque l'essenza. Quindi un inizio buonissimo...peccato che poi si è perso nelle varie puntate, cadendo nello scontato e allontanandosi sempre più alla storia del manga. le ultime puntate le ho trovate lente e non mi hanno preso per niente. Vale comunque la visione per le prime puntate veramente carine.
