Guest shinhaku Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 SynopsisOguri Shun plays Hyuga Toru, an affluent man whose personality is on the contrary, speckled with flaws. A CEO of an IT firm who is published on Forbes as a billionaire, Toru attained his fortune through chance and pure luck. A woman who meets Toru and eventually becomes attracted to him is Sawaki Chihiro, played by Ishihara Satomi. Chihiro is a hardworking college student at Tokyo University who has prepared for her future as much as she possibly could through studies and obtaining licenses. Despite her efforts, she has yet to land a job. Upon meeting Toru, she begins to unravel a genuine pureness inside him and solitude resulting from such pureness, which eventually draws her closer to him. The two repeatedly conflict each other, but little by little learn about one another to grow and develop together.Despite the worldwide recession and financial difficulties, there are people like Mark Zuckerberg who began work from merely an apartment room or a garage that end up growing to be companies generating over ten billion dollars revenues after merely 10 years or so, embracing their new found wealth by living the dream life. Whether it's a game or application software, Ecommerce, or other IT related firm, there are more than a few who rose in fame to such status in recent years. On the other hand, Japan's unemployment rate for new grads dropped to a record low and those who want to work are unable to, or their wishes to work at their company of choice is not granted.A Cinderella story of the real world. Will the two be able to compromise their values and lifestyles to become a happy couple? -- Fuji TVSrc: dramawikiI can't believe there's no thread for this dorama! It's such a good drama. I haven't seen any good jdrama in a while. Does anyone know how many episodes it has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mystisith Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 One of the very good dramas from Japan which landed on my screen recently (also Legal High and Hungry!). Good script, good actors. Great OST. Not a single boring scene. A clever, feel good drama full of emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shinhaku Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Written Preview for Rich Man Poor Woman Ep 6Hyuga calls a press conference to discuss the leak of all the personal files. He explains that the leak of the personal files is currently being investigated, and there are no signs that any outside sources have breached their security network. But the Board of Directors continues to pressure Hyuga, and the stock price of the company plummets. This situation causes employees of Next Innovation to be walking on eggshells. Because the company still holds considerable amount of personal files, the company undertakes an investigation of all employees. Despite the surveillance camera footage, no one suspicious is spotted. Yamagami decides that they still need to hold on to the personal files until the new dies down. Makoto is asked to get an update about the investigation into the leak. At that time, Asahina brings up the fact that in two weeks, Makoto’s internship will be up and her contract over, so she shouldn’t be tasked with this matter. Makato wants to take on this project and asks to be allowed to do it, but Hyuga decides not to. On the other hand, to increase patronage at the restaurant, Yoko decides to use the extra ingredients to run a cooking workshop. She asks her rival the sous chef to help create the menu. Makoto is busying preparing for the upcoming Board meeting and runs into Yoko. Makoto is very affected by what she thinks is Yoko and Hyuga’s relationship, and she wonders what will happen if Yoko becomes Hyuga’s wife. Hyuga is home depressed from the Board pressuring him to take responsibility for the leak. He calls Makoto, but she is with Asahina at the restaurant and doesn’t hear his call. At that time, Hyuga’s doorbell rings…. Source: http://koalasplayground.com/ via http://www.vingle.net/Rich-Man-Poor-Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jade_frost Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It's one of the better monday dramas to come along in a long time. I like the tone of the drama but I find the acting average and the character arcs rather predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Yunmi Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Translated the lyrics to Hikari E by Miwa, Japanese version (which is not the English remix version), but the translation probably isn't perfect... It should give you an idea. I tended towards more of the non-literal translation (i.e. word for word) I also had to shuffle the order of the lines in order for the translation make sense. (Since some verbs are on the second line... but connected to the first line, etc.)Feel free to correct, but please DO NOT COPY from soompi without written permission.光えHikari eTo the Light理想現実ワンクリックヒカリの速度に変わっても地球の裏より遠い距離アダムとイブにはなれない悲しみの生まれた場所たどってその傷優しくふれて癒せたならRisou genjitsu ONE CLICKHikari no sokudo ni kawatte moChikyuu no ura yori tooi kyoriADAM to EVE ni hanarenaiKanashimi no umareta basho tadotteSono kizu yasashiku furete iyasetanaraOne click can change an ideal realityat the speed of light.At the furthest distance of the earth,Adam and Eve can't separateFollow the birthplace of sorrowThere the wound can be healed with a gentle touchあふれる思い愛は君を照らすヒカリになれる切ないほどにたとえ描く未来そこに私がいないとしても今はそっと抱きしめてあげるAfureru omoiAi wa kimi o terasu hikari ni nareruSetsunai hodo niTatoe kaku miraiSoko ni atashi ga inai to shite moIma wa sotto dakishimete ageruOverflowing emotionsYour love can become a shining lightEven if the drawn future is painfulEven if you do not have me thereI'll gently embrace you now.運命だって引き寄せて輝き続けたいよ奇跡だって起こせるって信じたい信じたいUnmei datte hikiyoseteKagayaki tsuzuketai yoKiseki datte okoserutte shinjitaiShinjitaiEven as fate draws nearI want to continue to shineI want to believe even a miracle can happenI want to believe遠慮配慮言葉の最後感情希望重ねても心の奥まで伝わらない(ホントの声を聞かせて)すべてのことに終わりがあるなら苦しみさえいつか消えるはずだからEnryo hairyo kotoba no saigoKanjou kibou kasanete moKokoro no okumade tsutawaranai(Honto no koe wo kikasete)Subete no koto ni owari ga arunaraKurushimi saeItsuka kieru hazudakaraReserved considerations for last wordsThe feeling of hope buildstransmitted to inside the heart(I want to hear your real voice)All of this can come to an endEven if it is painfulit will vanish somedayあふれる思い愛は胸を焦がす痛みに変わる愛しいほどにたとえ世界中の声なき声に責められたとしても私が全部受け止めてあげるAfureru omoiAi wa mune wo kogasu itami ni kawaruItoshii hodo niTatoe sekaijuu no koe nakigoe niSemerareta to shite moWatashi ga zenbu uketomete ageruOverflowing EmotionsThe love burning in your chest changes into painbecause it's so belovedEven if the world's voice is cryingEven if you are blamedI'll stop all the blows for you人は悲しみを知るために生まれて来たの?そんなことないもっと愛を知りたいHito wa kanashimi wo shiru tame niUmarete kita no?Sonna koto naiMotto ai wo shiritaiPeople know sorrowWhy was I born?They don't know whyThey want to know love more孤独がぬくもりを知るためにあるのなら幸せはいつだってそこにあるのにKodoku ga nukumori wo shiru tame ni aru no naraShiawase wa itsu datte soko ni aru no niThere is loneliness so you can know the warmthHappiness after all is always near youあふれる思い愛は君を照らすヒカリになれる切ないほどに(人は悲しみを知るために…)たとえ描く未来そこに私がいないとしても今はそっと抱きしめてあげるAfureru omoiAi wa kimi wo terasu hikari ni nareruSetsunai hodo ni(Hito wa kanashimi o shiru tame ni...)Tatoe kaku miraiSoko ni atashi ga inai to shite moIma wa sotto dakishimete ageruOverflowing emotionsYour love can become a shining lightEven if the drawn future(People know sorrow)is painfulEven if you do not have me thereI'll gently embrace you now.運命だって引き寄せて輝き続けたいよ奇跡だって起こせるって信じたい信じたいUnmei datte hikiyoseteKagayaki tsuzuketai yoKiseki datte okoserutte shinjitaiShinjitaiEven as fate draws nearI want to continue to shineI want to believe even a miracle can happenI want to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilmariah35 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A very fun romantic dorama. The story is moving quite fast, there's no filler.Oguri Shun is incredible in this role. I can't get enough of the chemistry between him and Ishihara Satomi.I think I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jadedbeauty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oguri Shun is one of my favorite japanese actors so I knew I had to try out this drama. I've only just started and I've already watched the first 3 episodes in one night! It's pretty good so far, Oguri plays his character sooooo welll. I'm not familiar with the actress who plays the main girl but I am impressed with her acting so far. I love an actress who can cry well, lol. A lot of jdrama's I've watched always either drags or ends terribly so I hope this one doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kayana20 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS J-DORAMA. IS IT MONDAY YET? What a beautifully slow lovestory but I hope they keep the OTP I want together but it's moving too slow now. Please listen and put Natsui and Hyuga together they can have the brains, power, and romance. Hoping for a miracle in Ep 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shinhaku Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 haha is it monday yet is the #1 asked question for this drama. saddest scene ever . Makoto to Hyuga: I'm glad I got to work with you (with tears in her eyes and her usual bright smile on her face (( ) cr: http://www.vingle.net/posts/45700-Rich-Man-Poor-Woman-Ep-7-Preview-Discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topazeyedgirl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Can't wait for Monday!!!! Hyuga needs to step up his game and...well Mokoto needs to have a better looking man after her...Asahina is nowhere near Hyuga's league when it comes to the looks...just saying hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihjj Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Episode 1-4 was great, 5 and 6 dragged a little in my opinion. I guess I look forward to interactions between Hyuga and Makoto too much. Grr. I didn't like episode 6 at all, especially the very last part! Hyuga angers me! Oh well...hopefully he kissed her because he imagined her to be Makoto since he had a little alcohol in him haha.One thing I don't like about this drama is the fact that every episode introduces a new character and a new problem. I don't know, I like dramas to concentrate on one concrete story line and work around it, building up to the climax. This is one of the reasons why I don't really like to watch Jdramas, because every episode has a subplot. Whatever though, I still like this drama because I absolutely love the cast!
