The long wait is over for all Jiro Wang fans! Well, at least for those in Taiwan and Singapore because Absolute Boyfriend premiered last April 1, 2012 (FTV Taiwan), April 7, 2012 (GTV Taiwan), and April 8, 2012 (MediaCorp Channel U Singapore). The rest of us are in the mercy of our smart, talented and gracious netizen friends who will provide us with links to English subbed copies online. Fortunately, I have many of them who don't need to be asked twice and that's why I'm able to watch the latest episodes.
Although it has been announced that Absolute Boyfriend will be aired in the Philippines through ABS-CBN, I couldn't stand the long wait and be behind the hardcore Jiro Wang fans. To date, episode 3 has been shown last weekend and I can't get enough of Nai Te (Night). He's so sweet and innocent but with a body to die for! One can't help but drool all over the screen (literally) when Jiro starts to remove his clothes as the perfect darling robot.

(referring to his well-toned and muscled body). Nai Te answered, "I was like this when I was born." |
Absolute Boyfriend is funny and very much entertaining. It also doesn't fall short of the drama and action that you might look for in a television series. You can notice that each episode has something new to offer, which is why fans, and would-be fans, of this Taiwanese drama can't wait for the next episode. You'll just be pleasantly surprised and it will leave a smile on your face even way after you're done watching. You'll definitely have a favorite scene from each episode and you'll keep falling in love with Nai Te.
Absolute Boyfriend also stars Ku Hye Sun as Guan Xiao Fei and Kun Da as Yan Zong Shi. Watch out for the next episode this weekend!
In connection with the Absolute Boyfriend promo, Jiro Wang held an autograph signing event in Taipei last April 22, 2012. Fans were given a chance to watch Jiro sing live, had their Absolute Boyfriend OST cds signed, had pictures taken with him, and even had a chance to be hugged by him.

I'm still green with envy right now (*sigh*). I know I'll get my chance soon! For now, I'm happy watching the first three episodes over and over again and listen to his songs from the series: Pretend We Have Never Loved and Perfect Heartbeat.
