Yeah, that’s the very look on my face when I think about/watch Rich Man, Poor Woman. All good things must come to an end, and with the release of the final long preview for RMPW (complete with the words “LAST EPISODE” flashing before my eyes) I know it’s time to gather up my scattered thoughts and affection for this drama so I can steel myself for its ending. Will it be happiness for our OTP, brilliant genius emotional idiot Hyuga and whip smart full of doubt Makoto? Or will it be some sort of ending that will result in my throwing things at the computer screen and shouting expletives not fit for the ears of most human beings? I know RMPW aggravates me and I complain loudly when it stumbles on plot and character development, but really that’s because I love it so. For a drama that I merely like, I would accept its limitations and not ask for more. But I freaking love this dorama, and with that comes a genuine fond hope that it could deliver more.
I wished we did have more episodes, not necessarily anything like a Season 2 or even an SP, but that this current story arc could be fleshed out more. I needed to see more why Asahina turned to the dark side, I wanted to see Hyuga go through more obstacles before learning some difficult lessons, and I desperately want more open affection between the OTP before the final few minutes of episode 11 rolls around. Watching the latest long preview gives me hope that the ending will at least be satisfying, since Hyuga does appear to catch Makoto at the airport. Btw, an airport scene? My god this dorama seriously thinks it’s a K-drama! I’m going to try my best to keep myself occupied for the next few days so I don’t wear a hole in the carpet from pacing around aimlessly waiting for time to pass and Monday to roll around. Of course, a marathon of the first 10 episodes does sound mighty tempting right about now.
Long preview for final episode of RMPW – watch on Youku.
Press conference: I am the newly returned to Next Innovation Acting President, Hyuga Toru.
Hyuga: Please complete the personal file project………give me 50 billion yen.
Old dude: If it doesn’t have value, we won’t provide the money.
Hyuga: When we started working, we were thinking of people important to us. For those people, let’s work again here!
Asahina: What are you doing? (as he stares at a newspaper article about Hyuga returning to NI and its facing bankruptcy)
Makoto’s friend: If you want to see him, you can see him tomorrow.
Makoto: If I see him, I won’t want to work hard anymore.
Hyuga: The next new innovation will come from you.
(Makoto’s next job assignment has been moved to Brazil)
Makoto: I like Hyuga Toru so much its so painful, so I’m saying goodbye.
Yoko: Are you an idiot? Why don’t you tell her how you feel about her?
Makoto: Doesn’t matter if its Brazil or anywhere else, I’m going.
Hyuga: Fine, you can go by yourself.
Hyuga: Didn’t you promise to always answer my calls? Stand there and don’t you dare move!
OMgoodness! I’m going to miss this dorama too. 🙂 Great acting, great characters, and overall, an awsome show. What can you ask for more eh?
Almost forgot, I’m expecting a kiss at least….I mean come on, it’s the last episode! :p I want to see skinship. LOL

RE: my previous comment: Apologies! I should’ve added a “Spoiler Alert” disclaimer! I don’t think it is but for those who don’t want to get spoiled even a bit!
Thank you! waiting in anticipation for the perfect ending! I will miss RMPW and Shun-chan!
“Didn’t you promise to always answer my calls!?” Stand there and don’t you dare move!… Awwww I can feel my heart melt with hers!!! 🙂

“Hyuga: Didn’t you promise to always answer my calls? Stand there and don’t you dare move!”

PLEASE give us sunshine and rainbows at the end. With skinship!

OMG!!!! Thank you, Ms. Koala!!! I can’t wait…I want Monday to come now but at the same time I will be sad to see this show end. Hoping for an awesome final episode.
@saima. Thanks for the pic. Is that finally a lean for a kiss? Or is the writer tesing us again??!!!! Oh the mere thought!!
This is the very first j-dorama that I got addicted with. Capt. K really knows how to pimp… and deal crack. Keep it up, Cap, we rely on you!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Ms. Koala! You’re a jewel!
Makoto is a very wise young woman! I was the one having problems with her leaving Hyuga, yet I now understand why it was needed for her to distance herself from him (Thank you writer) after ep. 10 when he told her he missed Asahina and not her. That’s when I wanted to slap him into reality (and that’s not what I practice. I thought I was going to have to stage a virtual protest against the writer-RLOL). Now Hyuga is forced to come to terms with his feelings for her and do something about it (Yeaaaa)! Hyuga knows that Makoto is a genius (yet not nerdy), beautiful, funny, adorable, enthusiastic, an encourager, innovative, hard working team player, and knows how to persuade him to be humble/respectful to people. In other words, she’s an excellent choice for him. He even admitted that she taught him how to accept and work with people without being arrogant (calling people idiots; I commend her on how she did it…LOL)! He even trustingly followed her lead during client meetings when needed. Now its time for him to show her how much he values her (which I believe he does) and keep her by his side, not as an employee either!
MONDAAAAAAY…COMETH! LOL!
Links updated for RMPW MVs http://www.youtube.com/user/akosieunice002/videos
Jdoramas! When they finally get down to romance, they sure show em how its done. . .
(i worry about the airport scene to. Usually when JDorama ends up there its all “Ja-Ne” craziness!)
*holds breath*
I just cannot wait to see the last episode!!! This drama was so perfect for me! I have been watching it from the beggining, when it was first aired! Its been almost 3 months!!! I am gonna miss this amazing drama so much!:'(
Hello hello hello!
The final episode 11 is here!!!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xto0jm_rich-man-poor-woman-ep-11-raw_shortfilms?start=531 that I also watched via dramacrazy
enjoy!!! 🙂
Ms Koala, can you do a great favour to the RMPW addicte – if you can do the recap quickly, is it possible?
Now, to wait for the subtitle, ooohhh… I know Eric Paroissien always did a marvellous job but to wait till Thursday now feel even longer.
Just wanna know what Hyuga said at the airport when he put on his jacket and all I can decipher:
Hyuga: Natsui Makoto !
Makoto: Hait (and smile, oh so sweet…)
then I heard about Rio de Janeiro and Brazil etc etc etc and at 40.27 (out of 46:00 minutes) watch!!! oh my….
then at 42:12 again …. ooooohhhh…. sweet…
I am swooned again as much as I was swayed watching Yoon Hye in LTM and with Ms Koala latest update about the latest release on LTM, could the same happen to RMPW but please be loads faster and not make us wait for a year?
okay RMPW addicts. Hope your expectation and hopes satisfied ?
akosieunice dearest, can I ask a BIG favour from you too? for another clip with all the great moments of the OTP (oh the flash back that Hyuga had is so mesmeric) out soon? thankssss!
ok everyone, enjoy the last episode 🙂 cherio
I’ll gladly switch places with Makoto and go to Rio de Janeiro! I’ll send an e-post card during carnival to you Ms. K! hehehe
I know you have posted the baby recap to the final episode.
here, just to say thanks again! it’s a much appreciated and enjoyed baby recap 🙂 thanks!!!
