Adamas (2022) User Reviews

An avg kdrma

[mansichauhan-45448 · 6/10 · 15 September 2022]

Adamas is an average kdrama, it isn't that great. Im currently on the 10th ep and the story feels so dragged and boring and the scenes are quite long. The story itself isn't that appealing to the audience, and the acting of the mc is amazing but I can't say the same for other actors. U will surely get bored and would want to quit.

Some of the characters were dumb and it felt like only the twins have brain and can actually come up with good strategies. U would see the so called smart ppl (I don't wanna spoil it by saying their name) making dumb decisions which will surely get in ur nerves.

The start is pretty solid and will kinda hook u up but its starts falling after few episodes

But try watching it u might like ot.

Yet another Eastern gem......

South Korean series go from strength to strength, for the most part and Adamas is shaping up to be yet another success.

Intelligently written, with well rendered characters and a complex crime thriller plot, Adamas is instantly engaging. Its different enough too, to represent a departure from other series, in a similar vein.

Like a lot of Korean series, you really need to pay attention, as the plot and sub plots are complex and multi layered. Depending on how you approach this, that fact can be a blessing or a curse.

That said, given the poorly written, often simplistic, ideologue ridden nonsense, coming out of the West, I personally find this kind of intellectually engaging, thoughtful entertainment, a welcome respite.

An Eastern gem in the making.

8/10.

Looking good

Can only say wow as only saw ep1 but already story has me thinking which in a mystery is what you want. Good recognised actors two sadly never remember names easy as I'm British not as easy as say Tom etc.

Ji sung is amazing

I can't wait for next episode . A drama with maximum curiosity. Mr. Jisung 's acting is so excellent. I can't believe how actor jisung can play two personalities of the twins so well.

I love this tv show❤

It's very fun

[poommigraine-80605 · 10/10 · 28 July 2022]

The personality of the protagonist is very well conveyed. Because of his excellent performance. All in it's very good TV series that. Just the beginning of the story invites you to want to follow the next episode.

ADAaaam....

Although the twin had different styles with different clothing to make them distinguishable enough but I found it a little tiring to keep making a conscious effort to differentiate between the two. Maybe throwing on some glasses would help or I'm just too lazy. The first episode felt too tame and didn't show enough gripping elements. That scene in the forest at the beginning of episode 2 really sat the overall tone of the drama moving forward. At that point, it was obvious it's going to be the type of show that would waste time on nonsense, fail to deliver the information and dance around aimlessly. I though I would give them the benefit of the doubt; they might deliver on that with clever plays but they never did. Not even the twins element was utilized enough. After about 4 episodes, the drama lost most, if not all, of its engaging elements. The mystery turned into a snoozefest. This was beyond what's considered a slow burner. It took 11 long episodes for something noteworthy to happen. The ending was underwhelming after all that wait and they had the audacity to set up some teasers for possible continuation.

As he act Jiaung lagend

[reemn-03303 · 10/10 · 26 August 2022]

He plays the roles in a crazy way as if he was created to create concerts even when I see the scenes, he really has excellent manners, performance and behavior and this is my favorite artist.

Confusingly told mystery story - bad writer and director

[phd_travel · 5/10 · 19 January 2024]

I wanted to like this series because I am a huge Seo Ji Hye fan. She does look lovely, a real ice queen here with flowing curls and beautifully dressed. But the story of this show is not well told and unnecessarily confusing.

A mystery writer goes to stay with this Chairman he suspects framed his father for murder. All they seem to do is run round the fancy mansion and not much progress is made for the longest time. Concurrently the prosecutor twin brother investigates. The scenes are all similar. A lot of scenes and conversations lead nowhere and just make things complicated without advancing the plot. Then the twists happen too quickly and obscurely so ended up lost now and then. Illogical and improbable twists. Headache.

So many plot holes. How could the 2 SIH agents not know each other in the same operation? How could the writer staying at the house not have met the son earlier? Could the Team A be so bold as to go against the SIH? Too many characters as well. Couldn't keep track who was doing what. Something illogical happens and then they go back and explain it but by by then the viewer is already confused. Needless.

Instead of showing the back stories to get sympathy with the characters earlier they explain things later on but the viewer doesn't care about the characters then. 12 episodes would have been enough. The explain things partially each time so it's hard to keep track. They should have shown Seo Ji Hye and Ahn Bo Hyun together to establish a proper back story.

Ji Sung plays twins but they are not differentiated sufficiently so it's confusing which one is which.

The undercover cop Heo Sung Tae has a villain face. So he is badly cast. Can't stand that hysterical housekeeper woman. Screaming for everything. One dimensional. After all that the ending was inconclusive. So it felt like a waste of time.

Not really worth watching even if you like the leads. The writer is not good and the direction is confusing. He directed Kairos which was a mess.

So exciting and highly recommended

From episode 4 onward you can see how is getting exciting and mysterious. You can not guess what will be happen and suddenly you'll be surprised by the events. All of the charecters has their own story. Also you can not ignore the amazing acting of jisung as the roles of twins.

solid filmography + versatile actor = perfection

[AI_SAM · 9/10 · 16 September 2022]

Two characters in one drama, indeed a best actor JI SUNG!

Solid filmography + versatile actor = perfection.

Cinematography good, that bless your eyes with beautiful artists.

Slow but not making your head stop thinking about the plot.

There are twist in many place.

Character? Oh good, not rush, calm but on point.

I like how every character face their problem, so calm and not rushes. I really love Ha Cakkanim and Eun character and all their face expression on every important reaction.

Oh, my lovely psico Sun, Eun really give her best offers, something more worthy than death.

For the open ending? Oh, i like it but make me angry too, why you still make my brain working like this even tho your drama just end? Why?

Adamus is fantastic! Ha Woo-shin is just a wonderful Actor. I've seen everything he has done. Now!, Jin-Tae-yeon phenomenal actress!!!! She was so scary and one of her scenes where she had the hammer and when I thought she was gonna hit the gentleman in the head with the hammer I literally closed my eyes. She's a great actress and I mean great.!!!! Would love to see her in more thriller movies. And, the woman who took care of the the Mansion she was superb. I hated her bad and I thought she was evil but then I said she's a great Actress because I didn't like her. She played her part to perfection!
