Story

Mamaru has never experienced money problems, until her best friend and coworker, Ryo, steals all her company's money and disappears. Now Mamaru has to find a way to save her beloved business, with the help of her employees and a young man, Yu, whom she had turned down for the position of intern.

Japanese Drama Super Rich is a business drama with a focus on romance and a forced love triangle.

The drama offers plenty of twists when it comes to the business field. Mamaru's company keeps going under and she has to find money every time. And she always gets betrayed by those close to her. And yes, it was intriguing at first, as Mamaru was navigating her way through her rich class, while she starts to understand that everyone around her put money over sentiment.

However, those twists kept happening in repetition that got tiring to watch. Thus, the office drama got stale and boring.

Unfortunately, the romance was not well handled, thus, it failed to save the business plotline. It was too sudden, failing to build strong dynamics from the start, and having few romantic moments to boot.

As for the love triangle, it did give some thrilling hype to the main love story, but that didn't last for long. In the end, it was just another predictable trop.

Cinematography

The drama had an interesting way of opening each episode, with the final scene of each one, however, that didn't work to its advantage completely. The pace was rather slow at times too, and hectic at others.

Overall

My overall rating for the Japanese Drama Super Rich is 3 out of 10. The drama had an interesting start, but had little to offer later on.
