Plot

Kim Do-Hyun (Jang Hyuk) graduated from the top university in South Korea and has now worked as a fund manager for 3 years. He is handsome and good at sports. Do-Hyun is particularly keen with analyzing the situation as it occurs, but his weakness comes from his poor family background. After working 3 years as a fund manager Do-Hyun is all too aware the power money has. Insecure with his situation, Do-Hyun decides to look for a more prestigious job, with better pay.
Yoo In-Hye's (Kim Hee-Ae) is a president for a hedge fund company. Her grandfather was a banker during the Japanese occupation of South Korea. This means her grandfather was on the side of the Japnese. During the Korea War he made lots of money. After the war her grandfather became a money lender and through this made a fortune. By the 1970's he became the most powerful man in the underground economy. Yoo In-Hye's family is now one of the richest families.
Lee Jung-Yeon (Lee Min-Jung) dated Do-Hyun for 6 years and they will get married soon. Whenever she thinks about Do-Hyun, she can't stop smiling. During her middle and high school years Jung-Yeon was a quiet student with ordinary scores, but Do-Hyun appeared in front of her and they began a relationship. She is certain that Do-Hyun loves her. Jung-Yeon also has one thing that Do-Hyun does not have. That is a family.

I've started to watch this because of Lee Min Jung. But later I've discovered Jang Hyuk - now he is my number one favorite actor. His playing is really daebak - you start to fall for him no matter what. And the series are interesting, have deep idea and plot rarely becomes boring. Highly recommend to watch it.

This drama was great from start to finish. All the actors and actresses were really good especially No Min- Woo. He was mesmerizing to watch. His acting and his captivating looks stole the show. He is also a very talented singer. I hope he sings in more dramas and has many lead parts. My favorite scene was when he sang the song he wrote. I love his voice...and his style. Kudos to Choi Wan-Kyu for not bailing out at the end like so many writers seem to do. This drama was exciting till the end.

Boy, oh, boy. As the lead's career takes off, his principles unravel. And hurray for the GF! She's not having it at all, stands her ground and breaks with him. What a gal! And how about that confrontation btwn the protestors and the new corporate mogul, in which HJ betrays his once beloved "father-in-law". How low can you go to rise to the top? Slow, at times, but I would recommend.

I have watch MIDAS until episode 3.....can feel JANG HYUK aura in this drama.....its not a mistake for the producer to choose JANG HYUK...he's always at his best..
No Min-woo need to sharpen more on his acting skill, he's good, hope he get better challenge character in the future, and also that guy who played Kim Don-chul, not bad also.
Jang Hyuk, I wish you'll get another award for MIDAS!!!! Jiayok! Jiayok!

I'm really looking forward to this! I love Jang Hyuk! He was supposed to be in Secret Garden but he dropped out :'(...Anyway, hopefully this will be just as good. He's a great actor and he's paired with a good actress, fingers crossed >.<
