Bin Jip is silent. The actions speak more than those few words the actors say. So the acting, the talent of the actors, their facial expressions are more important than ever. And I have to say: the actors did their job excellently.
To the other side opf the world this movie could seem to be very odd. But if you look into a bit of the ways of korean society you'll find the answers to your questions.

The Attack... is crazy. Funny. Absolutely entertaining. The point of the story is NOT that: Here's is Super Junior bow down unworthy trash and drool stupid fangirl.
Attack... has an actual plot and the boys are acting very well. Okay... they are practically making fun of themselves but they are still very good. Especially Ryeowook and Kangin.
Considering this is an idol movie and that it seen mostly by the fans and ohmygodeastasianhumor! it is very good. I've seen it at least 5 times already and I still find it funny.
It's worth a watch. And more. They are after all all "Wonderboys".

The constant comparisons won't help; on the contrary, they'll spoil the fun. All in all, I DID enjoy this second season of Meteor Garden. The acting of all has improved tremendously, and so are photography, direction and characterization.
Meizuo and Ximen's side stories are addressed and completed, something I thought was sadly lacking elsewhere. Shan Cai grows into a truly likable character and the second female lead is, for once, a delicious person, instead of the usual viper-like, scheming character. So refreshing! Honestly, I've had enough of girls portrayed as if they were incapable of true friendhip or generosity and who seem to live only to target the guy of their dreams. In this sense, this second season is way more romantic and realistic than many other adaptations.
It has some dragging parts, mostly when the whole plot is compared in length to the pretty rushed ending, but as a counterpart to this, some details are truly satisfying (I can't elaborate this unless I spoil the end).
Overall, I am convinced this drama is much better than what's usually expected and deserves a try.

I only have two complaints for this drama though; first was the romance side of it. I didn't really like the characters that were paired with her. I didn't hate them, I just found myself rooting for an alcheon x deokman pairing all throughout even though I very well knew that it wouldn't happen. Hehe... Anyway, I'm just in the minority so you might actually like the love story part of it since most people do. :)
My 2nd complaint was the ending. I just think that they could have ended it better. I know the number of episodes was actually extended from its original plan but somehow the ending felt a little rushed and it seemed like there were missing scenes that should have been shown.
However, all in all, I think this was a great historical drama that left a deep impression on me. Plus, the soundtrack is good! It added to the tension and excitement of the drama!

It is about two people who have been friends all their lives. They turn to each other for comfort, for friendship and fun. They have seen each other at their best and worst. They yell, they fight, they comfort and criticize. They are REAL with each other. And slowly they begin to realize that this is not just a friendship. And once they realize that...What do they do with that knowledge? Go for it? Risk their friendship? Admit how they feel to the other person and most importantly, to themselves?
There is no grouchy, in denial chaebol hero. There is no plucky misunderstood girl who is downtrodden but so cheerful in the midst of her unfortunate circumstances. There is no backstabbing b*tch or scheming inlaws. They are just two people slowly but surely waking up and realizing that just maybe, the person they truly are meant to be with might have been there under foot all their lives. The writers make it so fun for the audience to watch it happening. The actors have great chemistry!
Give it a try. The music is a bit lacking. (I have a tendancy to be hard on music scores in my reviews. After the excellent OST of Coffee Prince and Soulmate I tend to be picky!) But I adore this drama...ADORE IT. Warm and sweet and surprisingly passionate. When you watch and realize it is not as quiet as you thought it is such a treat.

I just finished watching this drama and I am not exactly sure where to start. Midas definitely had its moments of intrigue, action and fun. There were times when I watched that I could feel the tension and build up to the conclusion. But overall this drama ended up disappointing me. I hate to say it because I do love Jang Hyuk. His acting truly blew me away in Chuno and I really liked him in Robbers and Thank You as well. Plus...he is just so gorgeous. I will try and pinpoint the problems I had with Midas.1) If you are going to create a drama with the premise of greed and its consequences then give us some payoff for those actions. Why did the antagonist truly have no commuppance in the end? Why shift the burden of guilt? (I cant say more or I will spoil it!)
2) If you are going to create a love story in the middle of all this intrigue that makes the protagonist feel the burden of his greedy ways, give me something rich and make the love a little more palpable.
I did not feel the chemistry at all. I understand this show was not a romance but the writers are the ones who placed that romance there. They made the loss of that love and the possible redemption of the protagonist through that love a plot point. I expected a bit more drama, a lot more emotional weight from that.
3) If you are going to set up all these intrigues, money games and power plays...Go For It! Go Out with a BANG..not a wimper. I wish they would have had more build up with Do Hyun being immersed in the world of selling his soul for money and his immersion in the greed for more and waited until closer to the end for him to feel the consequences. Or if not...as he was plotting and scheming in the second half I wish they would have kept up the intrigue. When that part of the action started I was excited for where it might lead. It held me for a few episodes then fizzled. The set up at the end with several scenarios and character story lines could have been played out a lot better. I can not describe them or it would be adding spoilers to this review. I can't blame the whole "going out with a whimper" thing on the extended episode because I felt the real tension and drama waning long before episode 21.
I wish this would have been better. Again it had some fun moments but mere moments are not enough to give this better than an average score.
I look forward to others reviews on this to see their take on this drama. **also...This drama is 21 episodes, not 16.

its a drama about embalming, which is extremely interesting because there are no dramas that are similar in the least bit.
i guess, one could say its like mixing a drama about ghosts and the deceased with a medical drama, but its SO MUCH MORE.
its so dark and eerie, but also has a lot of funny scenes.
Wada's acting is killer, and you can feel the emotions wrap themselves around you, pressuring your heart, strangling you even sometimes.
its soooooo good!!!!!!!
the cast is rele good, the development is rele shocking.
its interesting because there's an individual story per episode, but they all overlap in terms of mamiya's character.
its emotional, its dark, its eerie, its funny, it has romance
its one of the best dramas i have ever watched.
i recommend it to anyone who likes dramas like tokyo ghost trip or rh plus.
bonus! the opening song is one of my all time favorite theme songs >.<
is chohikoushounen/super flying boy's slide <3
BUT BE WARNED: this drama is rated for 18+ because it contains nudity in certain scenes.

I have seen many many dramas and the most of them don't have very good and impressive plot. But here we ca see many situations, and the main characters have change also. The acctors are really great and they have many experience and the really look naturaly.
I hope you will watch it and like it too.
