Preview for Rich Man, Poor Woman SP Released as Rumors Swirl of a Season 2

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 23, 2013 by ockoalaMarch 22, 2013

So, raise your hand if you almost had a heart attack when you read the heading for the post. Yeah, that was my reaction when I first heard the rumor. I wouldn’t share it unless there was a chance it’s legit, and this rumor came from the source that first revealed Rich Man, Poor Woman would be having an SP … Continue reading →

Rich Man, Poor Woman with Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi to Air SP in Spring 2013

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 26, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 26, 2012

Finally! Perhaps the higher ups at Fuji TV wanted to save this for a belated Christmas day announcement but I’ve been waiting for months now since Rich Man, Poor Woman wrapped up for confirmation that it would get an SP. With its solid ratings and great peppy vibe, not to mention a happy but open ending, this J-dorama fairly screamed … Continue reading →

Aibu Saki Pairs with Oguri Shun and Mukai Osamu for J-movie Version of Gossip Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 22, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2012

I’m truly baffled by Aibu Saki‘s career in J-ent. She’s an okay actress and pretty enough, but definitely not the usual sweet faced ingenue nor is she the hot and bitchy type that gets all the guys excited. Yet she keeps getting cast in projects with the hottest guys around, not to mention she’s been dating wild thing Nagase Tomoya … Continue reading →

The Cast of Rich Man, Poor Woman Bid Farewell to their Characters

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 16, 2012

Fuji TV has generously released pictures of the cast and crew of Rich Man, Poor Woman gathering for pictures and posing with their completion of filming flower bouquets. I don’t normally watch my J-doramas live, since many of my faves are from years ago before it was readily available to watch online or follow along with the filming. That’s why … Continue reading →

First Impressions on Rich Man, Poor Woman with Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 22, 2012 by ockoalaAugust 2, 2012

I keep writing and rewriting this post because I can’t decide if it’s going to be a first impressions or a recap. Who’s watching Rich Man, Poor Woman, the latest Getsuku (月9 or Monday@9) to hit our radar. Twelve minutes in, I was squarely on the fence. And then the “it” happened. The magic moment in any drama where a wavering … Continue reading →
