Overview

Hyuga Toru is 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. She 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.

What is the problem of most of the world's population? That's right, conservative. People are afraid to go beyond the boundaries and succumb to their imagination, which is capable of creating phenomenal things. Out-of-the-box thinking and confidence in one's innovations are the first things that characterize the main character, Hyuga Tooru. From the first episodes, he shows himself as a man who doesn't care about the rules and who breaks the stereotypes of an established business system. He does not become a slave to more successful companies, big shots, he is independent and calls a spade a spade, and that is why I admire this character, whose views I share. I've read comments about "what a fool the main character is, how disgusting it is to look at her blablabla," well, I'll make my counterargument - to be honest, a priori characters with a similar character repel me, but again, you can always analyze the actions of the hero from the other side and, accordingly, understand his/her motives. Natsuyu Makoto looks like a naive, stupid, overly emotional girl, and, of course, almost all the viewers stopped there and did not try to look at her differently. Natsu is a genius with a phenomenal memory, she has dignity, she is not afraid to speak the truth to her face, she shares the innovative spirit of Hugi and his company Next Innovation, constantly encourages him and fills him with hope in moments of despair. Personally, I have only positive feelings towards her. In addition, this series raises the problems of betrayal and the ability to forgive, on the one hand, I am still outraged by Asahina's act, but on the other hand, one can understand him, especially since he got what he deserved and I willingly believe that he will not repeat this again. The drama "Rich Man, Poor Woman" is not something worth watching just for fun, because in order to feel the idea, you need to come out of the shell for a while, become part of Next Innovation and evaluate the situation from the side of one or another hero.

It's a very funny thing, despite the fact that the main character was annoying from time to time. But Hyuga is something. A moody child of genius. And generally kind, despite all his antics. It was just hard for him to adapt to the social environment, and the money helped to postpone this problem for later. In the end, I had to change myself for the sake of the woman I loved. I won't say it was easy for him, but it couldn't have been any other way.

The crowd of shareholders: You have to get down on your knees
I'd rather solve this problem than an unnecessary circus.

As pleased as I was, I haven't been into kneeling in dramas since July 2023.
