ADAMAS

Adamas moves slowly at the begiinning of the series but delivers all that we learned  to expect from a Kdrama.

The is about twins who work together to solve an incident from 22 years ago. They are trying to clear the murder charges of their biological father, who was accused of killing their stepfather. They are trying to find the evidence — called Adamas, whatever that means. I guess that’s related to the fantasy genre described for the show as I don’t understand yet from the synopsis how fantasy comes into place. One brother is a best selling mystery writer and the other is a  special forces prosecutor.

Seo Ji Hye (Crash Landing On You) plays daughter-in-law of a large group’s CEO who ends up in an unhappy marriage. She starts working with one of the twins to take revenge against the group. Lee Soo Kyung (Ho Goo’s Love) plays a passionate and righteous reporter.
 


Adamas premiered on July 27 in the slot of Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can watch on KissAsian
===========
The following 2016 KDrama left such a lasting impression on my mind about heartbreak, betrayal preserverance and love that I had to add it among today's most current entries. I first watched it on Drama Fever, but you can watch it on KissAsian now that Drama Fever is gone.
