No Min Woo as the Most Interesting Character in Midas

I’ve been half-heartedly following Midas (damn you, SH-addiction!), which is good enough, I guess. I dunno, it’s not bad, but it’s not good to the point that I feel any desire to watch it, except out of my Jang Hyuk love and loyalty covenant. Currently, the only character who I find interesting and want to see more of is No Min Woo. He’s like the only person who feels alive and spontaneous in that drama, and everyone else is just going through the motions. With that, bringing you a No Min Woo piscpam update from Midas. He looks good, ladies.

Three episodes in, and my prediction is totally coming true. No Min Woo has sizzling chemistry with Lee Min Jung (well, the chemistry is 90% on his part, she’s kinda just there). I’m totally rooting for the uncanon (and doomed) OTP already.

I can’t say anything about Midas, plot- or character-wise, feels refreshing or unique. When it gives off the sense that its sampling so many elements, without blending it in a way (yet that I see) that adds it own flair, it makes me watch it with a detached eye and not feeling engaged at all.

The execution is quite solid, and it’s yet early to say that the drama won’t click for me anytime in the next few episodes and suddenly turn me into a rabid viewer. I hope the story kicks it up a notch soon, since I would hate to have to drop it.

  • I'm SO glad to hear about NMW's character. o/ Can't wait to see his acting again.

    So this is my linup for today/tomorrow/in the next couple of days: finish the last 2 eps of MP, watch a few more eps of SH and watch ep 1 of Midas. Maybe start the Duo? Hmm. *ponders*

    • if you just want to watch no min woo start from ep 2 and GOD!!!! you will love it when he comes in the screen
      i dont know if just die of watching him with ur mouth open or killing those girls who are around our oppa!!!!!!!!!

      love the sizzling chemistry between MM (min woo & min jung) cant wait for more
      lov ya min woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I know Min Woo as former drummer of TRAX, kind of indie rock band. He looks different now, with dark hair and short style :-) I find a good impression when I saw him taking a role in drama My Girlfriend is Gumiho. Can't deny that Jang Hyuk always into the character for every drama, that makes me fall to him. But we will turn our head when Min Woo passing by :-D

  • Honestly, my eyes are literally glued to my screen whenever NMW is in a scene, but as soon as he's off-screen I start multitasking. Boy is smokin'. But maybe the plot will tighten once the revenge stuff starts going.

  • i've been watching this drama primarily because of Hyukkie (precious #1) and Minew (precious #1.5)... but the sizzle, I found with Hyukkie and KHA. That first meeting was electrifying and I knew that instant that I'd be cheering for them... and so I ship them even without the romance thing. ^_^ They're the team to beat. =p

    I kinda agree with you that MJ fades beside Minew... actually, uhm she also fades beside Hyukkie (I didn't find any chemistry, sorry LOL or maybe not enough chemistry like the instant chemistry Hyuk has with KHA or even with former co-stars LDH and even Kim Ha Eun). Just me though... I don't know about the others. :)

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    who is he!!!? and why i don´t know him until now!!!?
    WOW!!1 such a goodie!!!!
    i´m in love ladies! i´m in lovE

    • :) friend you have got to start watching "My Girlfriend is a 9 tailed fox"! He leaks yumminess all over the screen! Well, next to Lee Seung Gi :p

  • Watched ep 1 and did not really feel any chemistry between LMJ and JH. So this is good news. Can't wait to see NMW with LMJ!

  • Yay! You finally mentioned No Min Woo! He IS the only life in that drama to me. The two lead ladies are pretty good but that lead actor keeps reminding me of the Joker in Batman. Is there something wrong with his mouth and where are his lips?

    NMW has chemistry with a chair, table or anything/anyone else in the room. I watch this drama without subs cause he is worth it. Thank goodness Softy is translating so now I know what is going on and I am feeling sorry for LMJ character although the actress doesn't leave much of an impression with me.

    I am predicting the ending to be: lead character gets all powerful rich but decides it is not worth it for the sake of LMJ and she welcomes him back with open arms. The drama is cliched to the max. I hope they prove me wrong.

    • "NMW has chemistry with a chair, table or anything/anyone else in the room."

      LOL...I 100% agree with that statement :)

  • He's smokin' just in the stills, I can't imagine him actually moving. My eyes might burn out of my head. Whew!
