Rich Man, Poor Act is a 70-episode vertical short drama from HappyShort, built around CEO romance, billionaire and marriage drama.
Is it worth watching?
If you came for CEO romance, the payoff is the power gap between the leads and who ends up holding the cards. On top of that: the hidden-wealth reveals and the people who misjudged the lead.
Plan on roughly 1–3 hours from the first episode to the finale.
