Once a week seems too often?

HI, I am a enthusiastic student studying English and while I was watching an English education program, I found that sentence but as far as I know the verbs such as "seem, like, appear", etc should be followed by adjectives but "often" is not an adjective or has changed?

And can I consider "like " in the "it seems like N" sentence as a adverb pharse? Or it is also an adjective pharse?

Please help me out and thanks in advance.
