Korean Absolute Boyfriend?

[ruki_kya]

"according to forsake34@lj, the drama in question entitled "You are Handsome" is actually a remake of zettai kareshi aka absolute boyfriend where yunho and minho will each play the two male characters of the manga, naito the robot and ashimoto soshi. no words on who will be playing who though but let's just say that yunho will make one sexy-as-hell robot lover who loves no one else but you."


anyone know anything else about this?

When I looked up the title "You Are Handsome"
it didn't really seem like they were referring to the same story/people.

I think someone mixed up something, cuz there were no news about korean absolute boyfriend. (believe me if there were the amount of fangirls would've spammed it everywhere, especially if MinHo or UKnow are in it)
You Are Handsome is the new drama that is supposed to air next month, with Jang Geun Suk and Hong Ki (from FT Island), they story is about a girl taking her brother's place in a idol group that is supposed to debut but her brother can't show up or something.. (=in other words similar to Hana Kimi in cross dressing)
Plus u can tell that those so called "news" are from some internet user by the nickname, and usually if a new drama is supposed to be made the company does the announcements.
BTW, the only jdrama that is going to be made into kdrama that was reported lately is Itazura na Kiss or It Started With A Kiss

This is not finalized (so take with a grain of salt), but Jeon Ji-hyun’s potential drama comeback just may come in the Korean adaptation of Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend, aka Zettai Kareshi. The kdrama will be directed by PD Kim Min-shik of Queen of Housewives and Before and After: Plastic Surgery.

Jeon Ji-hyun is currently busy surveying projects to finalize her decision, and the Zettai remake is reportedly a strong contender. (It had considered casting U-Know Yunho at one point, who moved on to Heading to the Ground instead.) A source with the production said, “We understand that for a long while, Jeon Ji-hyun has been carefully preparing to take a role in a Korean drama. We are working out the details of her casting, and hope for a positive result.”

In the original fantasy-romance manga, a girl accidentally gets a made-to-order boyfriend android from a website, only to find out that she has to pay an exorbitant amount to keep him — unless she helps the company conduct research to improve future models. She must then hide his non-human status from others, and he starts to develop human emotions.

In the kdrama version, the lead is not a teenager but a 30-year-old woman who is a stylist at a beauty salon without any clients. She is betrayed by her first love who becomes an overnight success as a movie star. Feeling the sting, she orders up her ideal man in robot form, aka her “absolute boyfriend.”

Absolute Boyfriend will be a 16-episode drama to air on MBC either at the end of this year or in early 2010. If she decides on the drama, it will be Jeon Ji-hyun’s first in ten years, since 1999’s Happy Together. After seeing such a lot of the same old kdramas airing one after another, this plot sounds like a refreshing change.

(Of course, the big question — aside from whether Jeon will sign on — is: Who plays the perfect manbot?? My wishlist: Kim Kang-woo or Gong Yoo!)

yaay. That sounds great ! <33
