Omg. Yeo Jin Goo is one of the male lead I’m looking forward to watch for. This must be lit. I hope it will be good like the original one.

first the fruits basket anime reboot and now this. awesome.

I had watch the drama in Japanese, I cannot say it is 100% good but it is not bad overall unless you do not mind to have a boyfriend made of machine

I hope it will be good like the original one.

If this have same plot with Japanese one, bang min ah Will end up with Hong Jung Hyun?? As long as i remember, the robot turned off by the lead female character

Hong Jong Hyun’s playing a significant role in “Mother of Mine.” Quite the busy dude and good on him, he’s a really good actor.
I can’t say the same for Yeo Jin Goo whom I liked as a child actor in “The Moon That Embraces The Sun”. Then he grew up and they’ve either cast him in roles not suited to him or he’s now a bad actor.

There are 2 type of actors: 1st-actors who are completely immersing into the character and 2nd-actors who can’t do it so they’re trying to imitate. Often, the 2nd type actors are very successful because all what many drama’s viewers are looking for is a pretty face and muscular body. That’s enough for them to call a 2nd type actor a good/great one. 2nd type actors can easily be recognized not only because they can’t express feelings but also by the great number of dramas per year(not investing their own emotions they don’t need time to leave the role so they’ll quickly jump to other one)

Yeo Jin Goo is an amazingly talented actor beyond his years. I can’t wait to see him in a rom-com like Absolute Boyfriend! I also really like Hong Jong Hyun and MInah, so hopefully, everything comes together 🙂
