Leave it up to K-ent to once again drama cast to my consternation, well maybe that’s too pessimistic but it’s to my concern for sure. The casting is set for the upcoming K-drama remake of hit J-dorama Rich Man, Poor Woman, not a recent work but still has a fond spot in my heart and relatively high name recognition among fans. The original was in 2012 and starred Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi, a pairing that was rather out-of-the-blue for me back then and ended up a winning from the first episode on.
It’s a modern Cinderella story set in the fast-moving IT world and posits that even a super smart and well-educated female lead needs a lucky break with an eccentric rich guy, but done in way that isn’t icky or old-fashioned. The K-drama Rich Man, Poor Woman will headline Suho of EXO and Ha Yeon Soo as the leads, with Oh Chang Suk and Kim Ye Jin confirmed to play the brother-sister set of second leads. The drama doesn’t have a network or production team announced yet but on the casting alone I’m really iffy, this one needs electric leads who spark off each other like no other and Suho and Ha Yeon Soo are both rather lukewarm in the onscreen chemistry department.
So I suggest keeping expectations low for this drama, despite the fan love for the…

Oh my, I smell a failure in the making. The Japanese version has set a bar so high yet they couldn’t even get the cast right, especially the otp.
hmmm... no thank you... I prefer to rewatch the J-dorama with those two powerful leads who can truly act... lol...
God Oguri Shun's acting in this was just incredible Suho seriously cannot come close.
This is going to be a mess.
The white-washing in Suho's top photo is incredible. He's even whiter than Ha Yeon Soo.
I am excited to see Suho in lenghty drama. He is my kind of handsome but i am not really feeling the actress, she gives off too childish vibes.
at least she can act
This calls for the re-watch of the original!!
I don't want to be negative before the drama even starts so will be giving this a shot. I like both actors individually so don't mind the casting.
Any form of remake is set to fail. Period!
Not a bit of interested in these actors. Will be a pass from me for sure.
not surprise at all,but when i saw the list of actors and actresses,and the episode.
sorry i don't think they can compare with the original.
with more episode, the story will be more complicated, hyuga in suho version can't beat hyuga in oguri version. why they don't choose Ryu Jun-yeol,park seo joon or at least Go Kyung-pyo,they good actor. and the chemistry?
i just want the next season from the original version (Japanese version) with same actor and actresses and same writer.
