Oguri Shun in Costume Fitting for Rich Man, Poor Woman SP

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 1, 2013 by ockoalaMarch 1, 2013

He’s baaaack! After successfully carrying on a long distance relationship and wooing his poor woman, this rich man is finally returning to the small screen to delight us all again with more of his quirky antics. Rich Man, Poor Woman had a relatively successful run last Summer and enough of a fan base that the network announced in December that … 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 →

2012 Year End Drama Reviews: Something Fun for Everyone

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 20, 2012

Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If I wanted to add an additional intangible factor, then it would be how happy or frustrating it was for me … Continue reading →

Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi Win Drama Acting Award for Rich Man, Poor Woman

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 23, 2012

With the 2012 Summer J-dorama season wrapped up nicely for me, I had one great obsession in Rich Man, Poor Woman among the lot of offerings so its nice to see it getting some additional recognition. The ratings were just alright and it didn’t seem to generate a lot of buzz in Japan when it aired. For the 74th annual … Continue reading →

Final Batch of Pretty Pictures from Rich Man, Poor Woman

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2012 by ockoalaOctober 2, 2012

With the ending of Rich Man, Poor Woman, I feel like Summer of 2012 really is over. Forget the mugginess still lingering outside, the intoxicating scent of two quirky people falling in love has been replaced by stories more about bubbling anxiety and venturing into emotional dark places. I noticed how Summer dramas, no matter if its from Taiwan, Korea, or … Continue reading →

Ishihara Satomi and Oguri Shun Channel Quirky Man, Sexy Woman in September Magazine Spreads

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 24, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2012

When Rich Man, Poor Woman aired, I was totally cringing when I saw Oguri Shun‘s hairstyle. Mind you, this man hasn’t had a decent hairstyle in any of his previous dramas, even Tokyo Dogs because the crew cut doesn’t do him justice, so RMPW was actually continuing a long tradition of uglifying Shun. I have this theory that it might … Continue reading →

Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 11 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 22, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 21, 2012

Saying goodbye to a drama I hate is a feeling of relief. Saying farewell to a drama I felt indifferent towards is like scratching an itch. Putting away a drama that is near and dear to my heart is a process of baby steps, weaning myself off the euphoric high watching the drama brings. Because I know there isn’t going … Continue reading →

Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 11 Baby Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 17, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 17, 2012

I haven’t done a live airing baby recap since Lie to Me ended, because rarely does a drama ever beckon me to break from routine and have the urge to get a recap, ANY recap, out as soon as possible. Rich Man, Poor Woman episode 11 has done it, baby. This dorama has managed to end utterly perfectly, leaving me … 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 →

Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 10 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 14, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 14, 2012

When I get frustrated with the one step forward two steps back emotional tango between Hyuga and Makoto in Rich Man, Poor Woman, I try to remind myself that a person changing their fundamental behavioral tendencies takes time through baby steps. I’ve been so proud watching both leads do exactly that during the course of ten episodes of this dorama, … Continue reading →

Long Preview for Final Episode 11 of Rich Man, Poor Woman

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 13, 2012

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 … Continue reading →

Written Preview for Episode 11 of Rich Man, Poor Woman

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 11, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 11, 2012

Rich Man, Poor Woman is trying its best to drive me insane. When it’s good, it’s ridiculously good. When it wants to be frustrating, it can be so damn frustrating I want to pull my hair out. Which is not good, because I like my hair and a bald Koala would frighten young children. Episode 10 was interesting, and I … Continue reading →

Rich Man, Poor Woman Episode 9 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 7, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2012

After the intensity and roller coaster of revelations and betrayals, episode 9 of Rich Man, Poor Woman was like a soft warm sweater that wraps up poor battered Hyuga in some comfort and security. Old habits die hard, and Hyuga was already a prickly loner who didn’t have much interpersonal trust when he met Asahina, but after what he just … Continue reading →
