[ Synopsis ]

Midas follows handsome, bright, and successful financial and legal genius Kim Do Hyun.
Kim Do Hyun has a poor background, abandoned by his father and raised by a poor but
devoted mother who worked in an open market and died early.
He invests the small money his mother left him and pays own way through the best university.
Successful as a fund manager for 3 years, Kim Do Hyun moves into law because of,as he puts it,
the spell of money and the temptation offered by the outstretched hands of those in power.
He is devoted to his fiancee, Lee Jung Yeon, a nurse from a common family,
and he has simple desires such as driving a nice car next to the woman he loves.
However, his childhood memories are permeated with the stench of open market fish and
his mother’s fuss over money, and throughout his years in the financial world,
Kim Do Hyun has learned that money is power and without it, everything else pales.
With everything he has going for him, he learns that those with money can still make him
feel insignificant. As he finds himself entering into the sphere of influence of the powerful
and wealthy Yu family, particularly Yu In Hye, CEO of Lone Asia hedge funds, we follow his internal
struggles and the metamorphosis of his character as well as the other characters in the story.
As the drama unfolds, Yu In Hye’s remark in the opening episode that “when law is
dominated by money, all that’s left is sordid greed” promises to be an echoing prophecy.
