«adamas» the tVN drama starring Ji Sung has reached the middle of its 16 episodes, the ratings have not been very good, what’s more, given the size of the actor that is its main character, I would say that they are quite poor. I don’t know if it will recover now that the success of «Extraordinary Attorney Woo» has come to an end, this week it got 2,866% and 3.2% in episodes 7 and 8. But its highest rating was 3.5% from the first episode. I have found several elements against it and that is why I have decided to stop following it, but here I will tell you something about what has happened so far. The story of suspense, mystery and drama genres even sometimes takes makjang elements and the acting of Seo Ji Hye It’s too flat for my liking. Come on, if I compare it with Lee Soo-kyung who plays the reporter Kim Seo Hee, loses and then if I put her in front of the lady Hwang Jungmin who plays the faithful housekeeper of the Haesung mansion, because it is completely erased!! On the other hand, the plot goes from the dark of the criminals to the drama of the death of the parents and/or loved ones of the characters that they are looking for justice, but there is no balance, I feel like another story where the bad guys get everything they want in most of the episodes and only at the end do the “good guys” do justice or put them in their place, but generally that place is not prison.
This Entry May Contain SPOILERS!!
The story is dark with villains and assassins popping up everywhere and threatening the twin brothers who are searching for the truth. The writer Ha Woo Shin, stuck in the Haesung mansion right next to the criminal he wants to catch, lives under the knife of the housekeeper’s murderous gaze and even his Machiavellian tricks of the mind of a successful writer did not work. you’re welcome with her!! On the other hand, CEO Kwon, actually seems to not act or give instructions, but he is supposed to be behind everything, I don’t understand when or how, because his eldest son will soon take power and the house with all its systems so advanced in security, he doesn’t have what Ha Woo Shin is so desperately looking for. I also don’t understand how the weapon Ha Woo Shin is looking for, he can keep the proof in the truth of the crime about his adoptive father until now. Ha Woo Shin makes agreements and alliances, but one cannot be sure that these ties are permanent or secure, one depends on the money he can deliver and another on how useful he is to the member of a police investigation team that remains in custody. clandestine, and the head of this team does not care about losing members of his team or external helpers, but about catching the criminal he is looking for, which has been CEO Kwon himself and his team of criminals who disappears and removes everyone who gets in his way… Meanwhile, prosecutor Song Soo Hyung ended up relating to precisely this group of special and underground detectives thanks to reporter Kim Seo Hee and the events that happen as soon as he meets with the girl’s parents. Prosecutor Song Soo Hyun is being persecuted by “Team A,” a group of criminals accustomed to cleaning up disorders, disappearing people, and giving “lessons” to people who don’t bow down to the Haesong group and the power it represents, ranging from putting politicians in the necessary places, to building weapons and to amplify their power, even making them available to people who can afford them. For them they instill fear and use the media to trigger stories that convince people that they need to own weapons. Anyway, for me the story is fine, but it could be much better, especially if the characters around the writer Ha Woo Shin were better outlined and had more weight or let us as an audience see their true intentions, but this feels as if they were going to leave everything for last and meanwhile, they will continue to show us the power of criminals and as those on the side of the “good guys”, they are defenseless. By the way, remember the young actress Park Hae Eunwho was said to have rejected «Alchemy of Souls» because he did not trust his abilities to play the protagonist? Well, she appears here, as a murderous psychopath who is the star member of “Team A” and her character “Sun”, gives rise to the suspense in which they left us at the end of episode 8 with one of the main characters. Yes, already in this part there have been some unexpected turns with “Sun” and the father of the twins himself, but they are not attractive enough for me. In short, history has not conquered me, the work of Ji Sung It’s very good, but the story is either not up to par, or the dark dramas I’ve seen, have a better narrative and don’t put as much family drama as it tries to do «adamas«, without being able to show a solid and captivating structure. But the thing is, I don’t feel like going any further, so here I stop and spend my time on other stories that I find more appealing for now. The address is from the PD Park Seung Woo («Spring Turns to Spring», 2019; «Rumor«, 2019; «kairos«, 2020) and the script is from the writer Choi Taekangfor whom this is his first solo project.
