Though the two plots are fairly different, the Aibu Saki and Hayami Momokichi duo/couple take center stage in both dramas.

A robot and a human fall in... love?
These dramas challenge our idea of what makes a human a human, and what true love is.

Both stories function of the idea of a "Risou no Kareshi" or an ideal boyfriend, though both stories have different takes on the idea (one being a contract boyfriend, the other being a robot). It's really very Japanese in execution as well, with tried and true troupes and misunderstandings to tug at your heart strings.
