Midas gets a 1-episode extension
Not that we’re surprised (are we?), but SBS’s Midas is getting one extra episode and will now end with episode 21 rather than the initially announced 20. I say it’s no surprise because the drama’s been “off-schedule” since practically the beginning, meaning that its last episode would have come on a Monday instead of a... More »

The perils of the live-shoot drama system
Midas “I filmed all through the night until 6 o’clock this morning, and went home only to shower. We’ll have to pull all-night shoots tonight and tomorrow, too, to make the broadcast tomorrow.” That’s direct from the lips of a drama lead: Yeom Jung-ah, playing the chaebol heroine of MBC’s Royal Family, which is now...

Noh Min-woo gets in bed for Midas
Funny what a difference one project makes: After Pasta and My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, all I could muster for Pretty Emo Boy Noh Min-woo was indifference. Then you put him in four episodes of ’80s-music-themed Rock Rock Rock, and suddenly he’s adorable, energetic, and emotive. I’m hoping it’s the latter Noh Min-woo we get... More »

First (vague and inexplicable) look at SBS’s Midas
These two teasers are just about the most uninformative previews EVER, but hey, for those of you looking forward to the upcoming drama Midas, at least it’s something?

Yay! I love Lee Min-jung, so it’s exciting to hear that she’s lined up her next drama already, one year after shooting to fame in her last one, Smile, You. The new series is an SBS Monday-Tuesday drama titled Midas, and with Lee Min-jung seemingly building something of a Midas touch herself, will she be... More »
