As much as I feel that nothing really grabs me in my favourite genre (Korean drama), I felt compelled to check "Royal family" (because Kim In Sook is pretty and I like older women/younger men romances and romances where friends become lovers) and Midas (because I love and adore Jang Hyuk ever since Chuno).
I don't have too many good things to report back:
Royal family:
1. Has a weeping-willow, wet blanket of a lady for heroine. I usually love stories about herouines in hard circumstances and suffering with dignity. But this can't be said about the lady from "Royal family". I want to give her a cheer-up talk. It seems that she is bound to get better later on, but I have already developed a knee-jerk reaction to her always sad face.
2.It looks like a drama where things will either end happily or will end in absolute misery.
3. But on the way to either of the two, there will be too much of over the top angst.
Midas:
1.I like the secondary girl. I checked the episodes 5 and 6 and I still like her. She loves the hero, plus she is sane, kind and everything else. But we all know that the secondary girls never get the guys. And even more, we know that the secondary girls tend to turn evil and nagging.
2. This definitely looks like a drama where the rocks will fall and everyone will die.
3. I might watch it for the secondary girl's sake.
**sigh **.
