3. "Full House": A top star actor who finds himself in a sticky situation upon trying to purchase a house, which was falsely put on the market by the female lead's "best friends." A story of scamming, betrayal, and love, this is surely one of the classic rags to riches to dramas to watch!

All of these are not rags to riches, it's all a Cinderella stories, rags to riches is where a poor person becomes rich BY THEMSELVES not by getting lust over by a rich guy.
