    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 kept reminding myself that Oguri is married because he and Ishihara just make the cutest couple. I honestly still see this as HanaDan 2.0 with Domyouji and Makino a bit older and with that thought, it amuses me that Rui became the Domyouji. Hihi.

    Loved it. I don't get the bad part of the reviews since I found it perfect. It's kinda hard to find a romantic japanese drama that truly cares about the romance part in a way we can understand. I did have problems with the music....they used as much as 3 songs. >.<

    This drama will be very hard to top for me... It was interesting (no fastforwarding scenes), and the romance was believable and the chemistry was amazing between the leads... It definitely leaves you with a good feeling! Perfect Drama: 10/10 <3

    An almost perfect rich guy that has emotional/attitude problem transformed into a perfect gentleman & lover by a poor, plain and clumsy girl? I say this has been done before! Nothing new!
    But the chemistry between the leads? I say it's chemistry overload!!!! I so love this drama, I love Oguri Shun! Though the plot is not new, you'll find yourself watching one episode after another.

    Loved it sooo much... i'm dissapointed that it's finished already but at the same time i'm glad they finished it before something happened that would ruined it. =(
  • Aya-san Nov 14, 2012
    It's been a while since I saw some good Jdrama. It was so refreshing. To me it's one of those dramas that you can't stop watching.
    Although a bit predictable and has typical Japanese ending it's really enjoyable. Oguri Shun is as great as ever. Loved it
