    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

    So far Oguri Shun is the best thing about this drama. Otherwise it's pretty typical. It's a lot like Tsuki no Koibito, but I liked the female leads in that drama way more. The lead girl in this drama is your typical no-confidence, jittery, clumsy "I'm a doormat but every so often I try to have a back bone" heroine. Blah.

    The first episode was okay. It didn't make much of an impression, but it seems promising. I like the cast and the idea for the story.

    The last (7th) episode turned out as a real surprise. It was really good. It lasted long (as for me---it´s a plus!!). It seemed like a whole movie (haha), so so so much has happened since this, I see every main character in different light. And i mean it. Anyways.. It´s truly interesting and I wait and see what will happen in the next 4 episodes.

  • dongholove Aug 19, 2012
    FOR REAL?!?!!! Asahina likes Sawaki Chihiro/Natsui Makoto?!?!? O___O And Hyuga likes Asahina's sister now?!! T__T That girl is annoying >____< who agrees with me?

    • GreenPaintedRose Aug 20, 2012
      I knew that Asahina liked Makoto since the time they drove together in his car... I don't like it but(sadly) it's not something i can change -.-;
      But that Hyuga would just do nothing when he gets kissed seriously annoys me *arrrg* (I kinda like Asahina's sister -- it's sad that such a good character is made the bad one now... She should get together with the other cook - their chemistry is good :-) )
    • dongholove Aug 20, 2012
      yeahh i also had that feeling when they drove together >_< Hyuga was kissed twice and the last time he kissed back, it means he likes her arggghh i hope not, i really like makoto for hyuga *-* but, i can predict that asahina's sister would end up with the cook ahaha yeah they look good together!
