'Adamas' Episode 1: Ha Woo Shin Accepts to be Chairman's Ghost Writer
Famous novel writer Ha Woo Shin was offered to be the ghostwriter of Haesong Group chairman for his memoir with a pretty great salary. However, there are a lot of restrictions, but he officially accepts it because of the lucrative offer.
While his twin brother received a stunning offer, Song Soo Hyun experienced a total opposite at work.
After he was bound to handle a case that involved a presidential candidate, he strongly opposed the higher-up's decision and told them he is not interested.
Moreover, he also pointed out that he will not be used for the benefit of someone, especially how the candidate will highlight his past - a son of a murder victim who became a prosecutor.

In "Adamas" Episode 1, Song Soo Hyun was told by his twin that he would be leaving for a month and would not be able to contact him but didn't tell him where and why he will be under the radar.
On his first day at work, Ha Woo Shin was welcomed by a ton of staff at Haesong Estate. He was told by several privacy measures, which somehow seems odd and terrifying. However, the writer seems unfazed by all the restrictions.
At his new work, Ha Woo Shin meets the chief of security, Choi Tae Sung, who doesn't seem thrilled about the new guy.
Besides the chief of security, Ms. Kwon, the person who manages the estate, bosses him around and tells him not to expect anything, especially giving him VIP treatments just because he is the guest.
The next day, he bumped into the chairman's daughter-in-law, Eun Hye Soo, and warned him about the chairman. She tells the writer to get out of the premises as soon as possible.
Moreover, she also pointed out that the more he knows, the worse it will be for him.
Right after their conversation, the chairman returned to his estate and was warmly welcomed by Ms. Kwon.
Ha Woo Shin was able to meet the chairman and kept on asking about his daughter-in-law. The chairman thought that he could pursue the writer to be his mole and report him whatever Eun Hye Soo does but Ha Woo Shin refuses to be that guy.
Fortunately, Chairman Kwon has agreed to his demands and continues to be his ghostwriter.
Ha Woo Shin's Mission
In the finale, a surprising twist between Ha Woo Shin and Choi Tae Sung happened. The writer figured out that he was an undercover police officer whose mission is to keep an eye on the Chairman.
Ha Woo Shin makes a deal and tells him that he will keep his mouth shut if he becomes an exception by not reporting his every action to the chairman.
He then revealed his ulterior motive for entering the estate and that is stealing the Adamas treasure.
