The Japanese version had the same core plot. However, the J version had way better story lines. After watching the J version, I felt like I want to become like the robot character not just because of the typical strength and special capabilities it has but due to the attitude it portrays to selflessly love someone. Check my review to see more why you should watch the J version.. :)

The Taiwanese version of this show.

the only difference is the title and the cast. It's a Taiwanese version with Wang Jiro as Night and Koo Hye Sun as Guan Xiao Fei/Izawa Riiko...

Love story between human and robot, but different story. Both of dramas are beautiful, sad and funny in the same time.

Same drama theme. The main difference is that in Absolute Boyfriend, the robot is male. In this drama, its female.

A life-size sex doll lives in a modest apartment in Tokyo, she can't speak nor move and she's the only companion of her master, a middle-aged man. He speaks to her, bathes and then make love every day when he returns from work.

The daily routine is broken when fantasy becomes reality. All of a sudden she comes to life and realizes she has a heart. She's unable to comprehend what is around her, however she knows there is a world waiting to be explored beyond the walls of the small floor and her selfish master. Eventually she dares to go outside world and meets people of all kinds, but no one is able to explain her what it means "to be alive".

I do not think that the story is similar...just the robot theme is what makes them the "same".
I think another similarity would be that both female leads loved their robot boyfriends like a human male. The robot boyfriends are both caring, handsome and dreamy as well...Like, both actors who played the roles have a perfect body and face. And the attitudes towards the female lead is very superb as well. Makes you want to ask where you can buy such "robots"...

Remind me of Yokohama Ryusei drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama.

Guan Xiao Fei is a girl unlucky in love. One day, a strange-looking salesman gives her a business card for a website that sells "love figures" (androids designed for love-making). On the spur of the moment and without really understanding the implications, she orders her perfectly made man for a 3-day free trial, actually not realizing that after the trial she either has to pay an awfully big amount of money or return the robot. It so happens, that she actually starts liking the robot for real, naming him Wan Nai Te. She has a best friend, who is secretly in love with her. So here it starts the strange adventures of these 2 people.

Both include an artificial boyfriend for a human girl. So both have a robot guy in them and focus on romance.
