Absolute Boyfriend kdrama starts casting

[dangermousie]

As per drama beans.

I sincerely hope it is based on the manga I adore and not the jdrama which I hate. Seeing that they want to cast Kim Ha Neul, it's probably the latter though. Add in the fact that kdrama adaptations of manga usually suck (BOF, *shudder*) and there is no way they will be able to deal with "heroine orders a sexbot" thing on MBC (I was cracking up at jb and gf, neither of whom is familiar with the manga, wondering if It could be a sexbot and deciding not).

I think I will just wait for the twdrama.

Kim Ha Neul is beautiful and talented. But, I think she would be a wrong choice for the role. She would be 35 when this drama airs - that's a bit old to be ordering a robot for a boyfriend. It would just make me sad for her. Even a beautiful woman whose mature and successful has to have a robot boyfriend!? I hope they stick more to the manga; they can just age the heroine up to a university student.

Also, I do think TOP would be a good robot, but as I understand he's not very fond of showing skin. . .and could he really emote?

TOp would make me wonder if he plans to sex her or murder her :)

I think a 17yr old ordering a sexbot I can deal with but a 35yr-old should know better.
