Ha-Nuel will be perfect for the role even if the age difference is hilarious. She's a great actress and I've seen her movie "You're my Pet" with Jang Geun Suk and so far the age gap didn't bother me at all and her acting seems perfect for the female character role. About TOP, well.. this guy has to prove something to the audience. He is an achieved singer and he performs well in his music video but acting full time is different.

T.O.P is great but kim ha neul doesnt fit the role and she is way tooo old for him

@kitty: haha! I've already made up my mind.. well.. perhaps they'll be making another set of characters that can play this story. But still, i'm a little off for the actors who'll play the roles. And there.. I'm just giving my opinion. :)

This! It's really happening! Kim Ha-Neul has already proven herself in this industry so I have no doubts on her. I know she can play the part given the age difference. And! I'm excited on what TOP has in store for all the viewers. There's gotta be amazing talent behind that handsome face and rockin' body. Besides, it's freakin' TOP. Just seeing him on the screen and watching him is more than enough. Ha!

I have nothing against KHN and TOP but I think I agree with Jeon Ji Hyun as Riiko. She can be bubbly and funny and at the same time sexy and elegant depending on the role. I think she can justify it. Or Lee Da Hae, she's just as cute. As for the male lead, I like Won Bin oppa to do it with his great abs, lol... and Jung Il Woo for the other guy.

i love BIGBANG but am not quite sure about TOP playing the role. Besides, will he really take his shirt off like the one in Japanese Version? hehe U-know Yunho would be a better cast for this role. Jeon Ji Hyun would be perfect for the female lead as well!

as much as i love T.O.P (i'm a VIP), i just don't see him as Night,,maybe the role of the other guy ( the human ones) would fit him better.
ha neul is soo pretty and no doubt she looks younger than her age, but i dont think she fit for the role, her face r more of a serious type,,

why do they ask kim ha neul to play all pet owners and robot consumers?? i let the age issue pass in "you're my pet." i guess casting her was the production teams effort of channeling koyuki from the japanese version. but i think even she was a miscast. everyone would like these manga-adapted dramas to cast actors that most resemble the characters, no? but againn in this? saki aibu's performance in the japanese version was decent--a youthful girl with a dull life until she made the thoughtless decision to buy a robot. but if kim ha neul plays this character, it would seem like an lonely ajumma (i know she's not, but..) who at least half-intended to buy a fake boyfriend to spice up her life. TOP is a perfect cast for the role of a robot. this drama could be greater if the female lead were a sexy actress in her 30's who can pull off a childish image. for a beautiful lady who has just turned 30, i think jun ji hyun would be a much better lead.

I love Kim Ha Neul but the guy.. Can't stand it.. He looks like a monster!! Please get another cast except him.. T.O.P.. what a monster.. There's so many actors.. Why did you choose him.. ? CHOOSE ANOTHER!!!

Why on earth are some people offended by the thought of an older woman playing the lead role? Not everyone that watches drama is a teenager! I'm in my mid-twenties and it's refreshing to see someone around my age getting a great part in a drama. I love teenage style dramas too of course but just because they are using someone a little older some people get all 'offended' by it.
kero-keroxD, although the original manga is about a school girl, perhaps the makers thought that only a woman who had lost out in love and was suffering an unfullied life would order a robot. Love doesn't equal cool, people fall in love with others that don't 'suit' them or make them look like a 'cool' couple. Love doesn't have rules, and that ia at the core and soul of this story. Look a little deeper and stop being hung up on ages. If it doesn't suit your tastes then there are plenty of dramas out there to watch.
While I personally would have liked Jeon Ji Hyun to take the lead as I think she's a wonderful actress, I am willing to give Kim Ha Neul a chance before I make up my mind.

why?? why them??? i mean they should use more younger casts ... and PLEASE DON'T GET MAD AT ME... i've already read the manga, watched Jap. LV and the trailer of taiwanese ver. but for me the two of them looks... uh, well they don't look cool together?? ooh!! please.. don't be mad.. it's just my opinion and TOP doesn't get any resemblance towards the original Night (well i knew he could act but i just don't get it).. Lewl.. -_- but really.. why the heck the Female lead is 30 yrs. old?? oh Gosh!! o.O don't tell me they'll stick to Jap. Ver. plot rather than the manga.

Looks like top would show skin in this drama if he's in it. The robot Does appear NAKED infront of the heroine on their first meeting

i think TOP suits the role but even though i love kim ha neul but i don't think she fits the role..i've watched her movie You're my pet with Jang Geun Suk and it sucks I don't know why ...I wouldn't complain if GIANNA Jun be the female character

"T.O.P. was rumored to be in discussion for ‘Love Rain‘ and ‘Absolute You‘ last year, but he’s decided to wait it out for ‘Celebrity’, a drama that handles the various scandals in the entertainment industry. A girl that becomes betrayed by her idol boyfriend debuts as a celebrity herself to get revenge but falls in love with another top star." (source: allkpop)
I think it means TOP won't be doing Absolute Boyfriend :(

i agree with the age difference but T.O.P seems suitable for a robot. he cant act that good and doesnt have to be in for this character. T.O.P doesnt even have mimics. he always looks the same. always with the same impresion on s face.but i dont understand why has Kim Ha Neul started casting together with much younger boys than herself. just like Kim Sun Ah...

T.O.P & Kim Ha Neul both sucks! They just don't suit the roles at all!b Especially T.O.P, he good looking, that true but not the way Night Tenjou look, Kim Ha Neul way too old for Riiko!

Ohh, So Jeon Ji Hyun was rumored to be taking the lead female role in Absoulte Boyfriend. And I am thinking that she and T.O.P could be a great couple. I just hope that the leading actress isn't final. . . I just can't... imagine.
