Celeb to Binbo Taro aka Celeb and Poor Taro

Wealthy daughter of a hotel chain mogul meets poor widowed father of three. Despite their vastly different values and beliefs, will their chanced encounter blossom into something more?

This is one of the J-drama that I'm currently watching with much gee. Aya Ueto plays Mitazono Alice who is the Japanese version of Paris Hilton and owns her own Fashion Clothing Line "Love Alice". She chanced upon  Sato Taro  co-incidentally, who is a widowed father of three and hired him as her personal chauffeur.  In an attempt to avoid getting engaged to Gotoda, her ex-boyfriend who is trying to pursue her back with her step-mom's backing, she got Taro to act her as current boyfriend. Her stepmom was upset and challenged her to live with Taro who was one of the working poor. It's very interesting to see Aya Ueto dolling up and parading in beautiful clothes like a barbie doll and even more interesting to see a rich glamour girl living in poor taro's shabby, zinc-galvanised sheltered at-ta house and experiencing poverty. 

I enjoyed this drama a lot! I highly recommend it to you guys.

I just fell in love with the new ongoing drama titled "Zettai Kareshi" - "Absolute Boyfriend". I love it!! This is the season of love and romance, i'm loving it!! The drama was based on the popular shoujo manga "Zettai Kareshi". I was grinning from ear to ear watching the first three episodes of the drama and totally loved it so much that I have finished reading the manga online. The plot is slightly different from the drama's and man, it's super sweet. Talk about the freedom after exams, and finishing up FYP presentation slides.

It is about Izawa Riiko, a girl who has been boyfriendless, rejected by all her objects of affections since high school. Tenjo Night is the (oh mo..super dark and handsome) robot that has been programmed to be Riiko's ideal boyfriend, the type 01 robot manufactured by Kronos Heavens that vows to solve the woes of all the lonely ladies out there.


Riiko was sort of persuaded to participate in a free of charge (one week) trial for 01 robot, who goes around professing to everybody that he is RIIKO's boyfriend, causing many funny incidents happen whenever Night appears.

Jealousy arose among her female colleagues and to avoid any unpleasant situations, she told them all that he was her cousin (itotou). Her best friend, Mika seeks to snatch Night away from Riiko, just like how she has been snatching away all of Riiko's crushes since high school. Her objective: I'm only interested in what isn't mine.


Riiko initally saw Night as a electric appliance, always saying no to his request for ecchi, and gets really bothered by Night whenever he says stuff like "Riiko is the best girlfriend in the world, I love you, good morning Riiko, here's a good morning kiss for you." But when Night began to give his all to help Riiko out whenever she encountered huge problems at work and financially, Riiko began to fall in love with him, slowly but surely, even though she knew that he was a robot which is still rather inapt in understanding the feminine mystique.


The whole show then ensues into a love triangle between Riiko and Night and her boss, Asamoto Soushi. I wonder how the ending will turn out, will Riiko choose to be with Night (just like in the manga) or will she choose Soushi and Night will have to be rejected and have his memory (HDD) reformatted or will the three of them live in harmony together? hahaha..I'm really looking forward to the next episode!!! Please watch it!!! You know what, Japan's version of My Sassy Girl is also out...I dunno what is the title, but I'm darn interested!

Happiness?
