My Absolute Boyfriend had me absolute-ly hooked!

This drama never dragged, and I was always focused and excited for what would happen next. A drama about a “love robot” could’ve been downright goofy, but it strikes a good balance between laughs and hijinks versus tension and deeper emotion. If the ML doesn't charm you, you must be dead inside: he's sweet and earnest and sincere, but also intense and passionate where it counts. His deadpan humor was gold, and when he turned serious I deeply cared about his struggles and feelings. The FL is cute and relatable, and the 2ML can be difficult and flawed but with a good overall character arc. The supporting cast is great, they’re funny and feel like unique individuals rather than blurring together as mere padding for the leads’ story. Likewise, the villain is unique and creepy in a good way. I have my quibbles with the ending - would've been 9 stars if not for that - but I'm not going to let the last 10 minutes erase my enjoyment of the previous 20 hours!
