    This isn't a boring remake of a cinderella type story. The plot was very refreshing but some area of the characters became predictable. I thought the music was wonderful in the drama. I would buy the soundtrack if it were for sale. The male lead was great and so was the female. The actors had great chemistry and really made this drama one of my favorites. If you are thinking about watching this, don't just watch it. You won't be disappointed. The drama is a short refreshing watch.

    Went in not expecting a whole lot but came out feeling refreshed & happy!

    Totally enjoyed this one despite having reservations about the female lead. Both Oguri Shun & Ishihara Satomi did an amazing job in this Drama.

    Rich Man Poor Woman was cute, funny, sweet & extremely endearing with a great score & OST. It's one of those Dramas that re-uses the same songs throughout & I know some may not like that but personally I feel it binds everything together thus helping maintain the mood. I think for me; that's what really made this Drama stick in my mind.

    Plenty of problems. Typical Japanese style non-romantic kisses; random jumps in the story, not really anything earth-shatteringly new either as far as story goes &

  • OGURI SHUN a great Japanese actor is in both dramas. The thrilling part is the gap differences between the characters, plot, story line, and more. Please try it out and enjoy

  • Both dramas are about ambitious, talented entrepreneurial men in Tokyo and the issues surrounding their personal struggles and love lives.

    I was reluctant to try this at first because it was a J drama and in comparison to K dramas the romance, comedy, and more of the heightened emotions tend to be more subdued. However, although it's still not as obviously dramatic as K dramas, I don't seem to mind it while I watch this drama. They've got a decent dosage of the comedy, romance, and drama without being too over the top (which happens more often in K dramas). So give it a go if you've been hesitating for the same reason I did!

    I'm so silly that, by reflex, anytime I hear "Hyuga", I go:
    "Hyuga. . . .the Hyuga Clan. . . . . Neji<3" smh@myself lol.

    Anyway, at the end of ep 4:
    Me: "Oh snap"
    *Makoto sees them*
    Me: "Oh snap, crackle, and pop"

    And it also seems a certain someone is about to be an enemy. Can't wait to watch the next ep^_^.
