This jdramaa has it flaws. But it is such a crack drama with an exploding chemistry between the leads.

I dont know whether Suho has the charisma of Oguri Shun to bring Hyuga Toru alive or not. I will probably just check the feedback from people that is watching it first

Yay! I'm a big EXO fan and I especially like Suho. He hasn't disappointed me in either singing or acting. I loved his movie: One Way Trip and the Star of the universe drama (although it was to short and toooo sad). Anyway, I might be heavily biased but I am genuinely looking forward to this show.
P.S. I haven't seen the Jap version unlike the other commenters so I can't really judge!

It sounds like INAR without the robots, with a hint of SWDBS and ever other secretarial drama there is

I like Ha Yeon-soo, glad that she is getting a lead role. Suho is pretty but not sure about his acting. But this drama doesn't seem to require you to have the best acting imo, enough to have the serviceable acting. The writers and PD are quite experienced ones, My Only Love Song managed to make me love Lee Jonghyun, so maybe this drama will also make me like Suho as an actor. I'm picky when it comes to acting, but there are times I'm more forgiving especially for light romcom genre. To be honest I rather seeing idols in this kind of drama rather than watching them in bigger & heavier drama especially when they don't have enough acting skill.

Oh no. I don't think Suho is the best choice for Toru Hyuga character. I watched him in The Star of The Universe and while I liked the story and the heroine, I think he's a bit stiff and still pretty limited in projecting the right emotion.

And I admit that Toru Hyuga was such an asshole in RMPW but Oguri Shun played the character so well that I couldn't help but to root for him. He's a jerk but also complicated, childish, playful but value friendship the most, and I know that these are all the basic description of a hero in any drama XD but yeah it's because Oguri Shun make it work flawlessly.

And Ishihara Satomi is love <3

ummm.... loved the Jdrama..... don't know that this combination will work for the story........

The only reason I actually bothered to watch this drama was because of cast. I wonder if they actually watched the show before making a casting for remake, they could cast Ji Sung and Soo Ae or someone at this level, why cast people who seem to be fresh out of college and one of them definitely doesn't has enough acting experience? I'll probably skip it.

Despite cringing at the title, I enjoyed watching Rich Man, Poor Woman. Yes, mostly because of Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi. So, when they picked Suho, I just raised an eyebrow and leave the drama alone.

Rich Man, Poor Woman was really great. He's a nerd very focused on his job and not so much on people. And their relationship was cute.

I mean Oguri Shun is a very charismatic actor and Suho has the charism of an oyster so I really don't understand how they could choose him as male lead...

Got to be honest, neve heard of MBN or Dramax before XD And facial blindness?? Oooh, this is only the second time I've seen a character with it, which is such a pity because it makes for really good angst. And it's so common but not a lot of people know about it (it's sorta like dimples, they're so common but yet almost no one knows that it's technically considered a deformity.) No one's quite sure how many people have it because why would people suddenly ask if you can recognise them from their face?? That's just weird and so there's a lot of people leading normal lives with wives and children that don't know that being able to recognise faces are normal. I find that sometimes it's better not to know because you can't see what you don't know. But hey, that's my opinion.

ah, why. It is not about the story you pick in Japanese dramas, it is the vibe and the different kind of tension they have. You cannot replicate that. I have yet to see a korean remake that hits a bullseye with the FEEL. Japanese dramas feel at the same time more natural and more unnatural, but somehow convincing.

Everyone let's be honest with ourselves. If you look at the trend, the experienced actors they're all staying away from romcoms. In fact right now most romcom leads are the newer actors, those transitioning to lead roles and yes, idol actors. If this wasn't an adaption of a jdrama I doubt most of you would be here complaining. And how more better do you think the drama could have done in terms of casting?? There's only so much better they can do then with Suho.

I'm not exactly Oguri Shun biggest fan but Suho playing korean version Hyuga Toru kinda feels like.... a massive downgrade.

Story-wise, this drama had nothing new so the main thing that made the original a success was because of the great chemistry between the two leads. And the way Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi portrayed their characters, so I don't think K-version will be able to do well. I mean I know nothing about suho so I can comment on that and Ha yeon soo is a good actress but Isihara satomi is like on a different level so...

But hey I could be wrong. I guess we'll only know once the show actually comes out.

Oldboy?! Well. It could be kind of interesting!

What made RMPW a good drama was the portrayal of the leads and the way it was executed. The story itself is nothing new. In the hands of green actors, it's going to be a disaster.

I loved the original. It was quite popular as it got a movie special sequel. oguri shun was just amazing in the role. j-dramas has a level of cringe that k-dramas left behind ages ago so interested to see how this will look. the face blindness he is suffering from prevents him to recognise nearly anyone except a few close friends. Wonder if the storyline will be the same.

Does anybody else think that Ha Yeon Soo looks like Aoi Miyazaki?

I am both excited and dreading this remake. I've seen the original series and I love it not only for the cast but for the story too.

I think Ha Yeon Soo would be able to portray Ishihara Satomi's character there wonderfully (the character really isn't that complicated) but Suho for Shun-sama's character? uhhhhmm.. I really think no. Most of the "complicated" emotion in this series was handled mostly by the men. (complicated bromance, company issues etc)

With this news, I guess it's time to rewatch the original JP series

What happened to Ha Yeon-Soo's career? After Monstar and Potato Star it seemed she was somewhat on the rise with that well-received weekender she did, but if I'm not wrong, it's been nothing much on the acting front since. And when she finally resurfaces, it's in this second-rate small drama project that I don't think will do much for her. She'll probably do reasonably well, not that I would ever watch this.

I don't know about Su Ho because One Way Trip is the only project I saw him in (does being terrible for a 10-minute-cameo in Prime Minister & I count?), but that movie was pretty much The Ji Soo Show so I don't remember much else. But I wasn't particularly insulted by any of the acting there so good luck I guess?

When i saw the headline, my immediate thoughts: Let the rage-y comments begin muhahahaha! Then proceeded to read the comment section then 6 comments in i was like oh i should read the article! Love girlfriday, really like Ha Yeon-soo (#MonstarForever) but it was perfect clickbait for those who have seen the original 😉
Hey I figure if my favorite Taiwanese drama In Time With You can crash and burn in the most inglorious way, i have no fears of other failed remakes....bring it on!

The writer gives me pause. He has a lot of hits under him, but I'm not so sure he will write women in a way that will make me want to watch it for 16+ episodes.

I can't remember much from Rich Man Poor Women, not because it was not memorable but because of my awful memory. I just know I really liked it. Oguri Shun is amazing in anything and Ishihara is adorable. And this seems like something Ha Yeon Seo would do well in. Not that this has anything to do with the drama, but I've always thought Ha Yeon Soo looks more Japanese than Korean from when I first saw her in Monstar. This looks exciting. Hopefully I will get a chance to watch it.. I feel like I have too many dramas I want to watch that come out in May....

It's the j drama trope of "girl fixer". I don't think I've seen that in a k drama. (Nervously preparing to be bombarded with comments). I guess it will be interesting to see a Korean spin?

dont let the title fool you guys!! its not that cliche rich man in love with a poor woman.. if i could summarize it.. its a drama about how you should never give up to achieve your dream.. i remember watching this after watching tons of kdrama and this drama is like a breath of fresh air! 100% recommended except if you're a sucker for romance since there'll be like only 20% romance and 5% skinship.
anyway, really looking forward to the remake. tho im not really fond with the cast..

Oguri Shun owned Toru Hyuga they could've picked someone else but well let's see.

*slow motion* Nnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I wish they wouldn't remake or at least get better casting . I probably wont be watching it anyways. I loved the original.

Excuse the hyperbole, but that drama was literally the worst! At least the Kdrama won't waste as much talent as the Jdorama did.

When the first time I watched this drama on TV, I'm not interested enough. Then it being rerun and I watched it around eps 6 and I found it not really bad. Found it later that this is the remake of j-drama, so I gave it a shout and I enjoy it a lot.

Surprisingly this drama is not really a rom-com and that makes me hooked! The title is so plain and makes people underrated the drama but believe me, the title is so misleading IMO.

Until the last episode I'm still surprised that I like the drama, for story side. While for the actress and actors in here, I can't say more :D
If they cast for a better artist maybe it could be different. In some way, I feel the trace of j-drama in there and I love it! (I still can't forget how they ruin Proposal Daisakusen)
