One of the hottest rated girls in Korea right now is Lee Min Jung. She came out in Boys over Flowers, and i didn't get a very good impression of her. After watching Midas, i understand what all the hype is about. She currently has the girly, cutesy, type of image that many top stars have; such as Kim Tae Hee and Song Hye Gyo during their earlier careers. It doesn't hurt that she is also very attractive.
The plot of the drama is about "money". The drama focuses mostly on the bad side of money such as greed and corruption. The story of a brilliant man unfolds as he tries to reach his dream of becoming filthy rich by selling his soul (not literally) to a wealthy family.
I think the main character was poorly selected. I didn't like his acting, and i think a better fit would have been Lee Byung Hyun. The story unfolds in 21 episodes which was a bit long. I did enjoy all the betrayals and revenge plots.
Overall, it was a decent drama. Could have been written much better IMO. Worth the watch? Yes. Mostly if you enjoy revenge plots. Honestly, i fast forwarded through most of the dialogue, so keep your fingers on that FF button. Lee Min Jung doesn't come out that often, so don't expect to see much of her.
Rating: 6.5/10
