a good starting episode

It was my first Jdrama again after in a long time I stopped watching Jdrama.

Hyuga Toru reminds me of the founder of Microsoft. Such a genius. The office of Next innovation was amazing, reminds me of google office.

The first episode plot was good enough and interesting.

I think I was really missing Jdramas.

Oguri Shun's new face

I can say it already : i'm gonna miss this drama ! Man it's only 10 episode, why ??

I like the 2 lead characters, it's enjoyable to see Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi in a completely different role as in HYD and H2.

Now let's watch episode 2 ! :D

Great!

I really enjoyed the first episode of RM,PW...I'd not seen a j-drama in 6 months that I've wanted to watch until recently, and this one might just become my favorite Oguri Shun drama ever. I'm interested as to why she uses Chihiro and what her ultimate motive is in doing so.

Original, Fun and Intelligent

At first I was thinking : "they are trying to give us a classic K-drama romance, J-style". So I basically was only watching because of Oguri Shun. Then I was pleasantly surprised by the relationship between them. We are not in the classic type or tension, and the Cinderella cliché is actually enjoyable and original.

Also the cliffhanger of this very first episode left me speechless. I surely wasn't expecting THAT.

In fact I think they gave us all the clichés we usually use in this type of romance drama in the 1st episode (you'll recognize them, trust me) on purpose. Like : "ok, now that THAT is behind us, let's move on and make an actual story out of this show !"

Well, I really can't wait to see the next episode!

Woah. Japan. Woah.

It's like such a great drama after such A LONG TIME. I've mostly dropped J-Dramas. But this one's plot is just too good. Dramas which hook me on on the first episode. I always tend to finish them.
This is probably the first time after Hana Kimi that I'm liking Oguri Shun. I hated his character in Hana Yori Dango. No special reason. I hate Kim Hyun Joon for probably the same reason. :P

But dude.. I can't really wait for this thing to air anymore. >_<
It's just too damn good.

My first JDrama- Blown away!

This episode peaked my interest! Wow! A very unique story which will definitely bring you back. Now, I am curious of Chihiro's motivation and how she knew about the Mother's name. Also your curiousity will wonder why Turo has this condition!

Great Start

I don't usually watch Japanese Dramas either. I have a hard time finding them with English subtitles. Also, I'm usually looking for a happy ending. This one is fun. Hate to wait for the next episode but I think it'll be worth it.

Fantastic!

Not only is the story-line interesting, but the actors are great and the music works well with the scenes. I don't watch many Japanese Dramas, nor do I watch dramas that haven't already been finished. Rich Man, Poor Woman has me hooked already and I can't wait to see what happens next! Definitely plan on watching it each time the episodes are subbed online!

Enjoyable!

This episode was really interesting. It sucked me in completely. It actually reminded me of an episode from My Girl (Korean Drama). The not being able to remember faces thing is oddly intriguing. The end of the episode excited me too. I think she just uses the name Chihiro Sawaki in order to reel in Tohru. Either way, she's smarter than she acts.
