Plot
Kronos Heaven, the Robot maker, finally develops the perfect male humanoid "Night Tenjo" programmed to be completely loyal and devoted to his lover. Izawa Riiko, a temp worker who has been rejected by every boy she ever had a crush on and therefore never had a boyfriend, was chosen to take part in a five-day trial. Being a robot and all, Riiko only sees Night as a household appliance but seeing how devoted "it" was to her, she gradually started falling in love with him. Of course, to complicate matters with a love triangle, enter Asamoto Soshi, the young distinguished executive in her company who had feelings for her.

Am I Gonna Watch This?
Maybe. It involves a robot and Mizushima Hiro who is just divine, so there's probably a 60% chance that I'll be watching this. I won't be deluding myself that it's going to be a unique drama whatsoever because it has the same formula. Girl is lonely, self-confidence shut down to zero but meets good looking boy who suddenly made her special (albeit a friggin' robot) and everything is right in the world again. Because there's a guy already in the picture, there's suddenly this guy who loved her eversince but was afraid to confess his feelings. Since he's about to lose the girl the dude panics into doing something. Whatever.
Actually, the probability of me watching this drama all depends on the cut of Hiro's suit.
