Q10/Kyuto

I'm currently watching Japanese drama "Q10", another humanoid story. This drama is somewhat similar with "Zettai Kareshi" with regards to human falling in love with a robot and vice versa.  It's more light and cute compare to Zettai Kareshi and the characters are young high school students. 

I always find it cute when one of the characters is starting to have feelings to the other lead character.  But in this story its unusual and it's a forbidden kind of love story.  Well, obviously how can a human fall for a robot?  Gee! A robot is made by human. Anyway, a love story is a love story and I love watching love stories.  :)  I haven't finish it yet as I'm still waiting for the remaining two episodes with English sub to be uploaded.  I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series as I'd really like to know what will be the ending of this unique love story.

Funny! In this drama it seems that a robot is acting more human than the real human.  She's compassionate towards other people.  Lend a helping a hand when someone in need without any hesitations.  I guess these were the reasons why Hetai Fukai (Sato Takeru) fell in love with her.  I really, really would love to watch the remaining episodes.  Hopefully, I wouldn't wait for too long.  Although this is similar with Zettai Kareshi, I prefer Zettai Kareshi because it has a deeper story and it was presented very well that I got carried away.

One day, Hetai was walking towards their classroom when he noticed a girl inside the science lab leaning her back at the window.  Out of curiosity, he entered the science lab to look who was that girl.  He found the girl sleeping mouth open.  He touched the girls’ mouth and her mouth light up, she suddenly open her eyes and looked at him.  She asked Hetai to give her a name, nervously thinking of a name for her he saw a mark in her foot Q10 and that's what he named her.  Since then, Q10 followed Hetai until through his classroom.

The principal is afraid of scandal, he proposed a solution that they keep Q10 being a robot as a secret.  They'll pretend that Q10 is a transferee student.  Since Hetai was the one who woke her up, he'll be the caretaker of the robot.  So, here it all began where Hetai fell in love with Q10.

I found this Q10 video and thought of sharing it with you.  It's not mine but I found it very nice and sweet.  :)

The Completely Perfect Boyfriend... Robot?!

It's another day for me with nothing to do and just browsing the internet when I came up with this Japanese drama. I admit I was not a fan of the Japanese series...until I've watched Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend). I never expect that I've become engrossed in watching it. This drama was not something that could happen in real life....but I even cried more than the female lead did in this drama. It's very heartbreaking for me to have a situation that you both know you love each other but you can't be together and to realize that you love the person but you have a limited time to be together.

Well, some of us dreamt of meeting and having our own ideal boyfriend...right from his looks down to his personality, interests and hobbies. But Izawa Riiko is the only girl I've known to gets his ideal boyfriend...delivered to her doorsteps in a box. And he comes with a user manual. How cool is that, huh? :D

First few episodes of this drama wasn't that interesting. I almost gave up watching but thankfully I didn't. This drama really has the power to convey love though it has a silly concept. How could you possibly fall in love with a robot? That was my first question but... OMG! If that robot is literally you're ideal guy who could stop you from loving him. Hihihi... Am I still sane? If I were you just watch it. There's a lot of scenes in this drama that moved me...I really did cry a LOT.
