Finally, I saw the first episode of AD! GHS is so adorable as Xiao Fei, she is so right for the role! I just cannot understand the comments of other people saying that they find GHS’s acting so plain and bland, no variety. I see her differently from all of the roles she has portrayed so far, from Gukhwa, Jandi, Eun Bi, Han Da Jin to Xiao Fei. She delivers what the role requires! The only thing is if people do not like GHS they will always see her flaws and blow them out of proportion. No matter what GHS does, from acting, to writing, directing, singing or even just simply exhibiting her other talents, people will always find something to say about GHS because they do not like her, they are not her fans, they do not admire the talents of GHS. In the balance though, I trust that there are more people who recognize and admire her talents than those who find her to be ordinary.

Back to AD, I so love the chemistry between Penny Xie and GHS. As Xiao Fei and Zhong Shi, having established their closeness at childhood and now neighbors and co-workers, I am expecting a lot more and excited to see how their onscreen romance unfolds. I know that in the Japanese version, Riko ended up with Soshi (the character played by Penny Xie) and I do not mind if this is the same ending that the Taiwanese version will offer. However, why do I get this feeling that in this version, there is a human counterpart for Night? Remember, the opening scene where Xiao Fei was still a child and met this GEGE who taught her about the roles of the fingers, having the ring fingers representing couples/lovers and this is the reason why the wedding bands are worn on this finger? The grown-up guy was Jiro right? So, I am entertaining the thought that Xiao Fei might end up with Jiro but as the human character, not the robot Night. He he he, I am just thinking out loud although I will take a Xiao Fei-ZhongShi pairing in the end as well.

I have seen other romcom Taiwanese dramas e.g. the one with Rainie Yang and Show Lo as the lead characters and the one with Rainie Yang and Joseph Chang, Drunken To Love You. Absolute Darling is similar to the latter, if not better. I like the selection of the three actors playing the leads – GHS, Jiro and Penny Xie, kudos to the casting director, it was a decision based on sound judgment. To this end, I think it is a blessing to have Jiro playing Night instead of Wu Zun. Jiro’s chemistry with GHS is also undeniable and in case you are wondering, yes I cannot get over Jiro’s six-pack abs ha ha ha.

I also like how this version did not stray much from the original like Night’s desire to make love with XiaoFei and XiaoFei’s getting rejected all the time by the guys that she liked. GHS seems to be more relaxed in executing her near-intimate scenes with Jiro’s Night character. I noticed that Taiwanese dramas are more relaxed in executing scenes like that as compared to Kdramas where actors are somewhat restrained.

The drama, living to its genre ROMCOM, indeed has romance, comedy and as an added bonus, action (Jiro’s stunts) embedded. Not to be left out also is the excellent musical scoring of the drama. I am so in love with the main BGM, Mr. Perfect, sung by Fahrenheit and its acoustic version played during tender moments between XiaoFei and Night.

Overall, I enjoyed watching the first episode of AD! The script is good; the actors are delivering the expected emotions required from the characters so I am optimistic that it will rate high among viewers. It is relaxing and entertaining to see my favorite GHS in this drama and with two good looking guys with her, I am sure I will enjoy each night that it is on. Happy viewing everyone!

Just dropping by to show my love to the AB thread. Thanks sugarplum892 for creating this thread and to all others who continueously bring news and updates. Is there a site where we can download the SG version with english sub titles?

I'm loving all the casts in this series. They all fit their role to a T. GHS must be the only actress I've seen who doesn't need to act during eating scenes. She is always really eating the food in front of her heartily. Love all the skinship and Jiro stripping down very so often. Casting, directing, editing and effects are really executed perfectly to create a romcom with a lot of heart. Hope for very high rating for this drama.

Brief summary on the news about Absolute Boyfriend promotion in Danshui:

Source: http://www.wownews.t...d=c0001&sn=1012

Ku Hye Sun, Jiro Wang & Penny Xie went to Danshui today for Absolute Boyfriend promotion and charity event. They played some childhood games include billiard (shooting at water-filled balloon), catch the fish (use paper filter), slam dunk etc. There were fans from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea following them. Ku wears 15cm high heels and declines to change into flats even her feet are painful.

They traveled to Danshui by MRT and this is the first time for Ku Hye Sun to visit there. She said she always wants to ride on MRT and finally she has got the chance. She like the beautiful scene at Danshui and wants to try every snacks there. Ku said she would like to bring her parents to visit Danshui next time.

The casts play games with fans. The first one was billiard game, in which Ku hits 3 targets (breaking the water-filled balloon) while Jiro only hits 1 in 11 shots and Penny got none in 10 shots. Penny recommends preserved eggs & plum juice to Ku, and Jiro recommends the Blue Road, which is romantic and a good place for marriage proposal.

In slam dunk game Penny wins with 60 points in 1 minute. Jiro only scores 26points, even lower than Ku who gets 26. Jiro says it’s because his shirt is too tight. Last game is catch the fish, which Jiro says he’s very good at it. He talks to the fishes when he’s catching them and even asks fans not to make noise that annoy the fishes. Penny gives one fish to Ku as she has not caught one. Jiro is happy to have caught 6 fishes, he even says he would catch fish naked if rating exceed 6%.

 They spent 2 hours to finish the short Old Street in Danshui. Ku Hye Sun tries all the snacks (suger-coated plum, bbq sausage, bbq corn, plum juice, etc.) en route. The whole team even has to go back so as to buy sugar-coated plum for Ku. Since Ku wears high heels, staff has to escort her uphill to go to the restaurant.

excited coz AD has it's own forum and thanx to create for this thread.

1st episode of ABSOLUTE DARLING is GREAT, ENTERTAINING, FUNNY and too much laughing ( for me) , all the cast did a great job to potrayed the caracter

Xiao Fei is so adorable and funny, and i think she's not that pity in her life. xiao fei is LUCKY to have Nai Te ( Night) in her life.

love all xiao fei attire, so girlie and full colour. and xiao fei is so cute wearing her pajamas ^^

i think Night is too perfect to become a boyfriend but as long he can make Xiao Fei happy than it's okay. i hope Night as a human ( on the first introduction) will ended up with xiao fei but her childhood friend is also match with her coz he know xiao fei so well.

and i'm glad that AD have a good rating in Taiwan , i hope in the next episode tha rating will rise up ^^

and thanx for all of your contribution in this thread.

I beg the differ. I thought she delivered her character well. i mean, she has to executed well enough for you to annoyed by her.

she did mention that she's not sure why Jandi was acting certain way because she knows that's not how she is in reality, but she's only followd the script.

i personally think the way GHS delivers her character as XiaoFei (i'm sorry if i spelled incorrectly) is very different from her previous characters.

Cant wait for the next episode!!!! i hope its here already....hehehe.

HELLO BOYFRIEND LOVERS :wub:

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with you annypooh... GHS as XIAO FEI is a lot different from GHS as jan di,eun bi,or da jin..as XIAO FEI she acted as a woman her age who never had a boyfriend yet and her facial expressions were just normal expressions that you may see on a normal woman who is a failure in her LOVE DEPARTMENT..

I had watched ABSOLUTE DARLING/BOYFRIEND episode 1 3x already and till now i still love watching it and never get tired of watching it.. it is a drama that is worth the wait every sunday..it is funny, hilarious because the characters acted the way they had too..

THANKS TO GTV BECAUSE WE HAVE A SUNDAY TO LOOK FORWARD TO .. ABSOLUTE DARLING/BOYFRIEND FIGHTING :wub:

A Big Hello to Everyone and thank you for creating this thread for AB!! :D I've watched the first episode, and in a word, I LOVE IT!! (well ok... 3 words) :P I was a bit apprehensive being that it's a Taiwanese drama and their style is a little different and there is the issue of language barrier. But after watching Ep.1, all my fears have disappeared. Ku Hyesun is just wonderful, and really this role fits her like a glove. She is absolutely the queen of a thousand facial expressions and is so adorable!! As for the male leads, I was already a fan of Jiro and have seen many of his dramas, so I knew he would be a good match for HS. He is a great comedic actor, and their chemistry was perfect in Ep.1. Of course I also love Penny Xie's character, and the actor is so manly yet has that dorky side to him too, and he and HS also had great chemistry together :P Taiwain also did a wonderful job in promoting the drama, I'm so glad that they went all out to do this, and the 3 leads look just great together. I wanted that giant ice cream cone!

Thank you all for bringing all news, pics, links, and for translating it all. My heartfelt thank you and appreciation to all of you. Absolute Darling - FIGHTING!!!! :D

Hello boyfriend lovers,

GHS is a very unique actress, infact she's the best. I totally agreed with annypooh, prettywiz, krgl143 & myonenonly that we just can't simply compare each and every characters that have been acted by GHS for they are of diiferent senarios. :)

In AB she's a working girl who don't have in any love relationship with man, for sure she's felt extremely shy, awkward, uncomfortable what more to be/spend 2 days in relationship with a man :sweatingbullets: How would you expect for a girl in this position to react? :mellow:

12/4/2012 - ABSOLUTE BOYFRIEND CASTS INTERVIEW

AB Cast Interview

0.jpg

The video begins with the scene at high school meet & greet, in which the student confessed to Hyesun “I have a crush on you.” In response, Hye Sun said “I love you”

Then it’s the interview conducted earlier in the morning. Kiro said they were not used to it when they first started filming, since he speaks Mandarin while Hye Sun speaks Korean. They have to remember each others’ scripts. then PD asked if they can communicate now. Jiro said to HyeSun, “Pe Gu Pa” (means hungry).

Ku Hye Sun has peformed a skill in Korean variety show that she can associate a food with someone’s face. PD asked Hye Sun to describe Jiro & Penny. Hye Sun thought for awhile and described both of them as 臭豆腐 (stinky tofu). Jiro explained that it’s her favorite food.

Ku Hye Sun really loves food, she even named all her dogs with food names. Hye Sun said all her dogs name after food and started count everyone of them. She explained that she really loves food, and heard that using food as dog’s name could help the dogs live longer.

Ku Hye Sun is good at painting, and had held painting exhibition in Seoul. She was asked to draw a sketch of Jiro & Penny. Penny asked her not to draw stinky tofu. Penny was asked his role Zhong shi is claimed to be the sad version of Lee Da Ren (In Time With You). He said in reality he would have say out his love instead of hiding. then PD teased him about his scandal with Ivy Chen (heroin of Skip Beat). He clarifys that they are just good friend.

Hye Sun completed her sketch. She explains that it’s the expression of Jiro when he’s joking. there is a tear, and a drop of saliva at his mouth. PD asked why there’s saliva, Hye Sun said it’s because he’s too hungry. lol Then Hye Sun talked about Penny’s sketch, saying that he has a mole on his face with standing hair. He gained some weight, but still has muscles and a tummy. lol

I am glad that you found Jandi annoying because GHS had said that Jandi was not a lovable character . That meant she played her role well for you to feel that way. I thought she brought Jandi character to life and Jandi coming of age well.  It is okay because drama watching is very subjective. Hope you give this drama, Absolute Boyfriend, a chance. Just don't compare to the the Japanese version as some had done, as the Taiwan style is different. It is more comic-like and the robot is more human-like just as in the manga except for the age. I thoroughly enjoyed episode1. Hope they continue with the tone of the drama.
