Overall, a very fine piece of entertainment that took on a makjang flavour, which I actually enjoyed. Everyone was bonkers. However, I found the final episode a bit of a let down - just one too many kidnappings and a rushed rationale about getting ahead in the orchid society.
There was some terrific performances in this - Uhm Ji Won as Song A was a real delight as the crazed daughter, wife and mother. I thought KGE used wonderful facial expressions to great effect.
The moral of the story - all good things come to those who wait?
The acting was good. However, I found, although I wanted the best for Dr Nie, his character did irk me some what. I liked Tan Jian. Vicki was fabulous. Wang Yang always brings a level of credibility to his roles. Pingping was very good.
Despite my frustration, I had to see show through to the end…
The premise of Adamas was a good one. However, I felt show never really made a strong enough case why the Adamas was such a magnet or focus of everyone’s attention. In otherwords, show wasn’t “regal” enough. An arrow that was a sceptre - a symbol of power and one that is symbolic of a transition was underdone. There also needs to be more than one symbol when there is a transition of power.
Throughout, the acting was very good. The characters I liked. However, I found our prosecutor a little too “intense” at times.
Still, overall, show was a steady thriller, in fact superb at times. It just didn’t need a Kdrama finish, if that makes sense?
The two families coming together is a good thing and I like that. The transplant as an option is very rare and with the size tumour she has, it means the cancer will pop up in other places. So, radiation therapy and chemo are needed whether she has the transplant or not.
I felt the writing at times was very bland and bloated and then we had those really good episodes every now and then that kept me coming back for more.
I’m sorry folks but the whole liver cancer storyline is beyond unrealistic. I know this is a drama and anything is possible, however, they could have explored Soo Jung’s treatment plan for a couple of minutes at least. This is a complex disease with a range of treatments that happen - not straight to a transplant. The size of the tumour tends to suggest it’s all a bit too late.
I was hoping for so much more, including the youngest couple being the main focus and having their storyline resolved in a really nice way.
Anyway, sorry if I seem on a bit of a rant, but the first 16 episodes of this show were so good…
