Kyaaaaa, it’s finally a wrap! From the set of Rich Man, Poor Woman came this latest picture showing leads Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi posing with their two directors as the final scene for the last episode was completed. No, the dorama isn’t magically getting extended, though an SP is possible but I wouldn’t hold my breath for it. What … Continue reading →
Much as I loathe to be the etiquette police, I’ll probably end up doing it every few months anyways despite always hoping I didn’t have to. I’ve seen my preview translations and other Rich Man, Poor Woman stuff being lifted wholesale and reposted elsewhere without ever asking me. That’s a big no-no in bloggyland, and I would hate to lock … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
What a marvelous wondrous episode of Rich Man, Poor Woman (though after this episode the title might need to be changed to Poor Man, Pretty Woman). I complained that the plot barely moved forward in episode 6, and honestly the same could be said for this episode 8. This episode was a scant two days in RMPW time, and involved … Continue reading →
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I’m sorta okay with Asahina pushing Hyuga out of Next Innovation. Hyuga is not measured by what he has achieved or accumulated in terms of success or wealth, but by his desire to innovate and create. This is a man who would have no problem doing it all over again, … Continue reading →
Oh man, episode 8 of Rich Man, Poor Woman was about as awesome as episode 6 was shitty. Which means this episode was insanely ridiculously awesome. This dorama is turning out to be slightly bipolar, but it does keep me on my toes. Remember “the walk” scene from episode 7, try upping that in the final 5 minutes of episode 8 … Continue reading →
Despite being exceedingly annoyed with the pointless and meandering episode 6 of Rich Man, Poor Woman, the lack of recapping isn’t because I’ve dropped this drama. I’m traveling so I really have no time, but I was hoping episode 7 would turn this train back on track. To my everlasting joy, it did! Oh hurray hallelujah, I love episode 7 … Continue reading →
I’m having too much fun on my vacation that episode 6’s general crapitude doesn’t bother me anymore, other than a sense of what-could-have-been with Rich Man, Poor Woman‘s story development. I don’t need the OTP to get together or even the story to be romance-focused as opposed to toggling office-driven plot twists, what I do need is for whatever is … Continue reading →
I almost wanted to rage/quit Rich Man, Poor Woman this week. That is how much episode 6 pissed me off royally. But then I calmed myself back down and took out my frustrations on the screenwriter rather than the drama itself which I still love. Episode 6 felt like a super long filler episode with enough story for 10 minutes … Continue reading →
I’m sorry, did anyone order a serving of cute? With a side order of adorable? That’s easy to whip up. A hard-to-find-but-I-found-it pictures of the two leads of Rich Man, Poor Woman in behind-the-scenes shots is coming right up! It’s a testament to Oguri Shun’s hotness that he manages to rock that weird haircut, but that’s probably because 99% of … Continue reading →
Episode 5 of Rich Man, Poor Woman was like a brief respite from all the action that was episode 4, and a much needed breather before the coming maelstrom that is episode 6 (based on the previews). I like this episode because it took Hyuga and Makoto out of Tokyo and interacting outside of Next Innovation. They are still working … Continue reading →
Is anyone’s head spinning with how fast Asahina appears to have gone to the dark side? It’s like one moment he was all “lalala, I’m the bestest #2 ever in this world!” and then suddenly he’s all shifty and plotting Next Innovation domination. Simply because Sakaguchi called him a cowardly douchebag? I thought he would have known that already. Look, … Continue reading →
This dorama might be the death of me. What can I say about episode 4 of Rich Man, Poor Woman that doesn’t resort to just throwing superlatives at it. It was magnificent from start to finish, an episode that took off from the jaw-dropping cliffhanger of episode 3 and never looked back. I felt like so much happened in a … Continue reading →
