I thought Rich Man, Poor Woman was a terrible title but I was interested in watching it as a fan of most of Oguri Shun's work and the audience feedback seemed very positive. For me, Rich Man is one of those rare Jdramas that I fall in love with and that can really make me addicted to them. Many show and Kdramas have plots about chaebols who tend to have the same characteristics of rich and snotty, or childish and selfish. Hyuga Toru does have some of these points but he has a more fresh personality. He built the company himself, is eccentric, and has the problem of remembering faces, which all combine to make a funny, interesting, and new character. His eccentric personality truly adds a lot to his character! Oguri acts the role amazingly and has great chemistry with the female lead. Each episode has me begging for more, which sucks cause only one ep comes out per week. The only thing I could ask more of is the plot because since the series is so short with ten eps, it lacks some "meatier" conflicts I guess. As i've seen so far, the show mainly focuses around the main leads and there's really just this one big conflict the driving the rest of the show, which is why i give a 9 for the story. But even then, the story itself is still a great one and interactions and romance between the leads are fantastic. You should definitely watch this show because it's sure to be a good one, and it's definitely going on my list of favorites. [edit] so the number of eps have increased from when I first reviewed this, so finger crossed for more story to the show!
