I totally lost interest in Midas during the second half, and really its for no other reason than ultimately the story didn’t interest me. The acting was good, directing was excellent, a great OST – all in all a solid K-drama. I will probably watch it all in one sitting after this currrent drama glut ends. Another reason I had a hard time watching Midas was because it really upset me to see No Min Woo go method for this role (even though Jang Hyuk always goes method for all his roles) because it required him to starve himself for months to waste away on screen in sync with his character succumbing to his illness.
That was too hard for me to watch, and now I just want someone to feed this beautiful and talented boy. His character Myung Joon, was a talented musician, and played the piano and sang a song for his beloved Jung Yeon. The song is called “Message of Love”, and Midas released a MV to accompany the single off the OST. Have a listen and a watch. The song is utterly breathtaking, all the more so because No Min Woo the singer is perhaps my favorite No Min Woo incarnation (so far). As an actor, he continues to improve.

It must be a crime for someone to be this beautiful and talented!
PLEASE FEED NO MIN WOO! :( he's literally wasting into the wind
i just saw Pasta & My gf is a gumiho recently.Was a random picking but it led me to, double showing of this very coolly beautiful face of No. i saw that he was icy at times ,cool most often , barely freindly at best ,in the 2 shows. But that face! Thought that he was way wee bit far off the K-Idol radar screen ...But am so glad that he's airing in Midas but sad to know that he has receded to anorexic skinny which is no respector of handsomeness!
He badly needs to put on quite some kilos to get back his glam cool handsomeness!
It seems only JKS can get away wt being reek shinny & still look good!
thanks ockoala
Oh! No Min Woo..the master piece, incredible...
same here I have to end watching Midas it is sad that NMW charactor isn't that important! this guy can do more than just 10 seconds appears in some episode
NMW Fighting
Thank you so very much Ms. Koala for this treat. I couldn't sleep and one thing I was thinking about was how under rated or under appreciated No Min Woo is. I actually have been thinking about him because Midas ended and yes it was a great drama that I enjoyed except for NMW character dying and ......I better not ruin it..
What a beautiful and talented man. I hope he gets his own drama where he is the hero and gets the girl. He seems to have a kindness in his smile and eyes. I love NMW.
Just to be clear cause everything comes back to bite me.
!. No Min Woo

In a way your top 5 looks a bit shallow (acting wise) on the other hand if you are younger than 20 - oh my u have pretty good taste about Klala Land actors
You are sooooooo right about "I couldn’t sleep and one thing I was thinking about was how under rated or under appreciated No Min Woo is"
acting wise he has better chops than the other 4 except JGS - sry he is more experienced and has more meaty roles under his belt than NMW
if the first NMW's OST release from Midas was very technical and bit soulless - this one is heartbreaking
except RRR and MGIAG NMW was so underappreciated that I had just a lil to go to Korea to kill some PD+writers -
1.How could u put a synopsis with a playboy and the char to be a saint? Duh! 2.Kdrama 1.o.1 use the most pitiful char to bring on the drama - no matter if the rest of the cast are gag ppl or business or whatever ....use the char - not just the poster of the char (even the poster is as pretty as No Min Woo)
3. 10 seconds per episode! PD are u kidding me? are u high?
4 in Pasta he had a love line with his noona OTP - What the hell happened with the couple?whatever....
5.In Pasta he was the coolest guy among Italian team - yet the fewest lines - however he was on screen more than in Midas - even it was in background - in Midas it was foreground but less screen time
6. less friendly - frankly this is an image I like and it is more close to the truth - not all the guys are friendly ( specially the ones with special talents - or geniuses - if we would see only friendly chars in kdramas THAT would be a bore) - he personally ain't the most socially skilled guy in the world - so for now chars in his range of acting and behavior it is fine for me
7.CFs - Yet those 10 seconds /episodes got him 2 CFs - the one for chewing gum and the one filmed these days http://yfrog.com/h0z1xhpj ( I bet this is new for u) - so all my rage against Midas calmed down after this
8. NMW needs 2 things - better roles and better English pronunciation (albeit he knows better English Grammar than I'll ever know
9, I want sooooo badly to see him in Best love - cameo of course - more his self sexy wacky idol image (bwahaha if it would be blonde) or a cool Park Dong Ju against bitchy secondary girl: Yoo InNa and NMW in the same scene - prettiness overload-
10. he has to prepare for his fan meeting and I'd like to hear him playing piano a bit more ( I love to bits the piano intro of the song above)
I miss his Pasta full cheeks T_T - he was cuter than a basket full of kittens - on the other hand his actual alien look makes him look more masculine (at least his Adam apple is visible now and his face is sharper)
You are right, that is a shallow list. It was meant about looks and not acting cause as far as acting from my top five for looks JKS comes first then NMW. But they are not great actors and a list of great K actors would look totally different than my looks list. I am way way older than 20 but a fan girl at heart.
I wish he could've end up with lee min jung in midas.
He looks pitiful in his current state. Somebody please feed him and nurse him back to health.
Goals:
1. Feed NMW.
2. Get him and Scheduler together in a kdrama called Bromance Town/Twin Ramen-Biebers.
3. Die happy.
how could I die after this? who would watch it twice at least? it must be me :P
but who will do with Kim Jae Wook - Conquering Japan through rock?... don't let him doing it all alone...
You can opt to return with the 49 days thing.
Better befriend 3 pure, nice people starting now...
No Min Woo is actually quite talented, I know his primary instrument is the drums (he's so good) but he also plays the guitar and the piano. I am glad he is acting but its nice to see him bust out his musician chops once in awhile since he is no longer promoting as a singer.
I didn't see Midas because of all the cancer business. I didn't know NMW looks like this now.. I feel so sorry for him!!!! I hope he is back to how he was soon
Mmmm, yummy. ^_^ I've always been irresistibly attracted to men who play instruments and sing, and NMW does all of that fantastically AND he's gorgeous. But he needs to eat more. Not only is it not healthy, it's downright dangerous.
