REVIEW
Oguri
Shun's handsome face & physique plus charming personality is [reason] enough to watch this drama. Besides my bias, Hyuga and Natsui
are really adorable prince charming and his damsel in distress
princess love team will make you want for more. The feel-good
original soundtrack is a bonus (track – Hikari E by Miwa). I love
watching dramas that makes me tap into my emotions and feel good. Rich Man Poor Woman hit all the right notes.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ~ 4.5 stars/5 stars
