REVIEW:
Simply "daebak."  Original plotline, great cast, and very humorous.  This drama was addicting from start to finish, and it left me wanting more.  I loved the secondary couple.  They are so funny together.  I seriously wouldn't mind a spin off of just those two characters.  As you know, I'm a big fan of this sort of period drama.  So, when a fantasy drama like this comes along, I don't know why I wouldn't recommend it.  It's a must see!

The Wedding Scheme

Rating: ****


Genre: Romance, Comedy, Family
Episodes: 16
Cast: Kang Hye Jung, Lee Kyu Han, Lee Young Eun, Lee Min Woo


SYNOPSIS:
"A mother of four daughters and the president of a kimchi factory decides to embark on a grand marriage scheme for her children... by having them cohabitate with four eligible bachelors."


REVIEW:
After getting multiple people telling me how wonderful this show was, I decided to finally take a gander at this show.  Funny, cute, and addicting, this was well worth the watch.  When I first read the synopsis, I though that it was two people that were plotting a marriage scheme for their children, but I later realized that the president of the kimchi factory and the mother were the same person.  That kind of made it a little less fun, as I would have liked to see two scheming parents, but it was still fun.

Rich Man Poor Woman

Rating: *****


Genre: Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 11
Cast: Oguri Shun, Ishihara Satomi, Aibu Saki, Asari Yosuke


SYNOPSIS:
"Oguri 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 TV
"


REVIEW:
When I first heard about this drama, I wasn't impressed.  I thought, "What, another Cinderella story?  Isn't it kind of old?"  But then I watched and I couldn't stop.  This drama is extremely addicting.  I wouldn't recommend  watching this if you are about to go to bed.  There were some problems, like all dramas have, but it was very good.  A must see! :)
