Just a little too much going on...

In my opinion, Adamas is a great drama, it's just has too much going on. It's not necessarily too complex to understand, it's just a lot of things happening at once so the viewer needs to always be actively engaged at every moment to really grasp everything. In a way, it makes it a great watch. It's been a long time since I've had that feeling. On the other hand, when there are lots of characters and rivalries in a drama such as this one, it makes me identify plot holes or instances of 'well that doesn't make any sense - why would they do that?'.

I was unsure of the 'twins' ML as it kind of brakes the fourth wall for me, but thankfully in this drama, it didn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, even though there were too many. Because there were too many, it unfortunately meant that some were showcased more often at some points, then another episode they might not appear much at all (inconsistent screen time). But all characters were indeed amazing as I previously stated, and the acting was supremely amazing by pretty much everyone.

The rewatch value is high. This is because of the awesome pacing of episodes, the mystery, the structure of the story, the suspense and cinematography. Usually I don't score too high for a drama in this category, but Adamas definitely deserves a high score when it comes to this. The OST is also sublime and I will probably listen to it for a while after today.

Would I recommend Adamas? Yes, absolutely!
