Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 9 Reactions
lol in the first 20 something minutes of this ep, Toru was practically goofing around, which was quite funny... He wasn't even interested in taking revenge or even doing anything at all.
Makoto was a source of encouragement to Toru.... which fostered their relationship.
Anyway, this ep was gooood!!!

While the previous episodes were filled with a lot of emotional outbursts, drama and conflicts, this episode feels like a turning point. The chemisty between Toru and Makoto is getting more and more fun to watch with each new scene. Toru has finally realised who his true friends are and there's finally a person in his life he finds the courage to trust and open up to. And every other character is playing their parts really well too! At first I was really mad at Yoko for hurting Toru by taking him to that café out of pure jealousy (her motives are understandable but she should have realized how much it would hurt the person she supposedly loves) but at least in the end she realized her mistake and felt bad for it.
The end was really shocking when Asahina got arrested, I'm really curious as to who is behind it all. Stilll, I do think that he deserved it! I did feel a twinge of pity for him when his work on the Personal File project was so obviously a failure (although I was really happy when they offered the job to Toru) but he did bring everything upon himself really. I guess what goes around comes around after all.^^
What I also really enjoyed was seeing how Toru is finally ready to "grow up" in a sense and take responsibility. Don't get me wrong! I really loved him at the beginning with is carefree, go-getting attitude but it's really fascinating to see how he's now confronted with this harsh reality and he has to learn how to deal and compromise with it in order to realize his goals and also care for himself and the people who are important to him. I think that motto he wrote down on the wall at the end was really brilliant and head-on! He realized that now that they have to start all over from scratch, compromises have to made and earning money to get them back on track has to be their priority but still that doesn't mean that he's gonna give up on his ideals or dreams - on the contrary because I think that it really shows how he is willing to make sacrifices in order to fulfil them! Toru was forced to think a lot about himself in this episode and he took a big step forward, if you ask me!

...but not a great one. I do enjoy the romance between Toru and Natsui, but I felt this episode dragged a bit compared to the others.
The ending of the episode was it's strength, for sure. I'm glad Toru now trusts Natsui, and that the trio is back with him. I even like the new name of the company, WonderWall.
Asahina's arrest startled me; I expected something to happen to him, but I am unsure if he's the culprit here. I do think he should get some bad karma coming his way--he deserves it enough for ruining his friendship and the company.
Overall, it was a decent episode. It could have been better, but let's face it, the writers are probably setting us up for a great ending two episodes.

I actually really disliked this episode till the end. What I love most about Toru is his gungho attitude, but int his episode he was about to give up. And that was PATHETIC. I also disliked how he dismissed the chef chick who was trying to make him feel better. But i did love the end, where he becomes his old self, and where Asahina gets arrested. My guess is that the guy Asahina partnered up with was the reason why he got arrested. I think that guy will pose more of a threat than Asahina in the next few episodes.

I smiled many times when watched this episode. So happy to see Hyuga and Makoto are getting closer.
And It looks Yoko is still trying to get Hyuga's love.
I feel sorry for Asahina was arrested. But He reaped what he sowed.
Can't wait for the next episode, I think It will be more exciting and romantic for Hyuga and Makoto.

I love how things are developing between our little lovers! Toru may be pretty aggressive, but his failed kiss was so cute. Even the most handsome guys can get pretty nervous when it comes to first kisses! Asahina has fallen pretty hard and we find out that he still thinks he can use Makoto as his pawn! The nerve. Glad to see the developer team restoring their loyalty to Toru and that Toru's trust in Makoto is restored. I CANNOT WAIT for the next episode. (It's hard for me to watch another drama right now because I'm enjoying this one so much.)

This episode was absolutely brilliant!! The part of the messages on the wall was so effective and I so like both the male leaders in this drama. I am sure the friendship between the two will be quickly restored. Also Makoto is finally becoming stronger and is starting to be valued for what she really is. Great, great drama, it is a pity that it will soon end.
