The Cuteness of Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 9 in Screencaps

Rich Man, Poor Woman – like a balm for my soul that sometimes kicks me in the shin before delivering the goodies. I know what I threatened to do if I didn’t get any kissing in episode 9, but I’m not one to hold grudges or fixate on what wasn’t there over what was. Episode 9 was some kind of wonderful, finally focusing all its attention on Makoto and Hyuga’s developing partnership both professionally and personally. I can’t say this episode delivered a narrative breakthrough or an emotional catharsis, but I enjoyed every minute of what did happen. I continue to pour haterade on the Asahina siblings, thought honestly both ARATA and Aibu Saki are doing a bang up job in their roles. But RMPW rises and falls with Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi, and the two of them continue to push all my shippy buttons and make me wish I can just watch them do nothing all day long. I love how the normally confident Hyuga is tentative around Makoto, and the formerly insecure Makoto is growing more radiant and assertive around Hyuga. They are seriously so cute I wish I could bottle them up and keep them on my nightstand to gaze upon them to my heart’s content. Until episode 9’s recap can be up, have a screencap recap of the Hyuga-Makoto scenes from the episode. Their new company is called Wonder Wall (thank yee very much, Oasis) and Hyuga’s newest motto is “Money is important, accepting any and all jobs, but never sell your soul.” Eat your heart out, Asahina!

  • Awwwwww!!! Thank you so much for the caps!!! I have absolutely the same feelings about episode 9! Gosh, i don't want this drama to end :(

  • i gont mind if there was no kiss cause its was a great ep ,its was so much just with eyes and face and a few words i wonder how much time was past since the last time i has this felling that i dont want more its was just perfect .and the both of them make every feelling came to us without even so much words .

  • Awww, my heart! it melts! I'm sure Hyuga will regret not using the chance to kiss Makoto, but I find it funny that he keeps using her as his loyal, um, pillow.=)
    By the way, does anyone know what Hyuga says to Makoto almost at the very end of the episode, in the kitchen? He shows her one of the sheets with something written on it, asks her something, she confirms ('Hai!') and both of them smile - this scene was in last week's preview, I think. I'm curious because they just looked so happy...

  • My RMPW & Oguri Shun feels are absolutely sky-rocketing right about now!! I keep thinking abt this show (and him) like every damn waking moment!! When I came to know the kiss didn't happen I absolutely went, "andweeeee!!" but oh wells am over it already! If Oguri weren't married I'd absolutely be shipping these two....they are so effin adorable that I can't handle it!!

    Thank you, Ms. Koala, for covering this show!! Foreverrrrr appreciated! <3

  • OMG, the whole scene where he primped waiting for M to appear in front of the subway, hopped up and down impatiently, spotted her, and then, the peeked around the wall, I just about died of the adorableness, loveableness, sweetness, perfectness of it.

    And the YAMAOKA on the pirate guy! Awesome.

    • i konw its was sooooo cute like a kid he sooo adorable, its amazing how he so kid and she when she look at him she was like mom that proud and happy with her kid who came back to her , this two i can just love them and watch them again and again with the big smile ....go M you doing agreat jop with this child man .

    • JUST watched this scene. Was squeeing, flailing, and then died from the cute!! Also, LOVED that he put the photoframe on his work table beside the computers as if to extract strength from Makoto!! T_T
