To cheri soda May 29 2026 3:18 am Dear Cherisoda..I understand your heart. From your words, I assume that you're a fan of Cha Hak-yeon. If you're referring to him as "N", then it means you're a k-pop fan of his idol thingy..it's very natural that you will be emotionally attached to him and watching him play a second male lead, it would have torn your heart apart..Korean dramas are notorious for making us cry for second male leads and if the second male lead is someone you already fangirl, then it is devastating for you. Since I was not a fan of Ch Hak-yeon, I was not heart broken. But it pained me a lot. The suspense of how they let the brothers undergo push and pull for the girl. I was happy just to see Cha Hak-yeon having proper screen time and was not shown as someone too pathetic. It would've been better if they had introduced a love interest for him. But they didn't do that. Bo Geoel was shown as someone indifferent to Mok ha but at the end he ate the entire pie. But Woo Hak, took care of her, expressed his emotions well, but ended losing the pie. Forget about first love, I would've appreciated if Mok ha had ended up with Woo hak. Forget about the shared past. Bo Geoel could've grown out of love with the girl also after all these years. Silly things these are.

CheriSoda Jan 15 2026 9:23 pm Actually this would have been an excellent drama with a lot potential - and now the "but": Am I the only viewer who's left with a completely frustrated and empty feeling - after having seen so many promising elements while watching the plot, only to be totally disappointed in the end? The story is actually so touching, so full of cute, funny and deeper messages. It doesn't get boring like many other dramas. The actors are really good. You can empathize very well with the main characters. And so on. (SPOILER!!) But it makes me furious, that Woo-hak is not Ki-ho. Honestly. As the viewer you get shaken, it's an up and down, is he Ki-ho, is he not, is he, is he not??...... It's like an emotional roller coaster and in the end there's disappointment. At least in my eyes "N" would have been the accurate cast for Ki-Ho, he looks a lot more like the younger version, is more emotional like the younger version, has lost his memory, which would have been an excellent last plot twist (he gains it back and realizes, he IS Ki-Ho although everyone and even himself thought, he was not and maybe his family just wanted to protect him and hence didn’t tell him), etc. Honestly it was hard for me to watch this series until the end, bc I couldn't open up my heart for Kang Bo-geol, who clearly didn't look like the younger version of Ki-Ho, didn’t talk like the younger version and always seemed so unemotional, like a walking surface/stick. The grown up version didn’t fit to the younger version, no matter how much I tried to accept it. And then Woo-hak, totally similar to the younger version, really liking Mok-ha, emotional, protective, wishing to be Ki-Ho, having memory loss, is just a side character who clearly suffers: This Makes Me So Angry!! (yeah it's funny, it's just a series - But when I watch a series, I want to take a break from the exhausting reality, to dive into another reality to Feel Good. I don't need to dive into another reality to feel exhausted too. Then I can stay in my reality where I already have enough frustration??). For me the whole amazing story line was destroyed bc of this. And it's pretty mean by the authors, that over many episodes the viewer is made confused on purpose about who Ki-Ho really is. And I also think that it was decided on purpose, that Woo-hak looks like younger Ki-Ho and Bo-geol does not. But this is more stressful, than entertaining, at least for me. It happens often with K-Dramas, I don't know why - the potential of the plot would actually be amazing, but at one point, they ruin it. Wether the story that started as really good, gets boring as if they'd try to thin out the story for having enough episodes. Or the story starts as comedy and suddenly morphs into a totally stressful drama. Or they finally kiss and come closer, but it's so random, that it ruins the emotions of the viewer. Or or or.. there are only few dramas, that a REALLY good from the start to the end, like Flower of Nokdu, Mr. Queen, My Holo Love, It's okay to not be okay, Zombie Detective (xD), Hwarang, Hotel del Luna, Mystic Popup Bar, etc. It's So So Sad, this could have been one of the best dramas, I ever watched and I watched many (as my live is so frustrating xD). Thanx for reading ♡

Nik Sep 11 2025 6:00 pm Again, I come here right after watching the final ep. I skipped this drama for a while because I thought it would be something different, but finally I decided to just watch it.

And wow! Honestly, I have so many dramas in the very top spots of my k-drama fav list and this one is another that belongs there. IMO perfectly written, great story, not boring or annoying to watch. Only 12 eps but we have character development, of course over-dramatic scenes and also suspense, along with music. I wonder if Park Eun-bin sings herself, I could not make out any async lip movements in the scenes, great! I nearly hate to see Lee Seung-Joon in his role, he must have made some enemies in people who can not differ between real life and acting !

All actors did a wonderful job, it was a lot of fun to watch all of them. And they packed so much love into details and scenes, woah !

If you didn't watch it yet, do it now! ^^

Mary Aug 23 2025 1:28 pm Just watched this again and liked it even more than the first time. Lovely music, good acting, uplifting story even if a bit scary at times. Worth watching for sure.

Jen Dec 18 2024 11:22 pm Such a beautiful drama. I got addicted to each and every character. I loved the one plus one package from the siblings towards the female lead. Very matured way of loving and taking care of her, both in their own ways. I loved how the writer played us into thinking Woo hak to be the male lead, giving him the spotlight and then taking it away from us with a beautiful twist. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The addition of thriller, with that abusive father added so much spice and anticipation to what would have otherwise been a boring plot. 3 stories overlapped very neatly into each other: Yoon Ran-joo, Seo Mok-ha and Ji-ho family. Seo Mok-ha has been blessed with such a beautiful family after spending thos 15 years on the island. Yoon Ran-joo had such a 360 degree life review: She started as a bubbly immatured girl from epsiode 1 to a well-matured and wise woman towards the end. As I said and I will reiterate it again, I loved the 1+1 package the brothers had to offer me. I usually hate love triangles in Korean dramas but this was played way too well. Beautifully written, I must say. I was obsessed with this drama. Glad I watched a year after it came out as I was able to binge watch. Because my reason to handle my miserable work-life.

Love Serve Remember Aug 11 2024 12:24 pm So many emotions. So many topics that have been touched upon, so much wisdom, love, suffering, forgiveness and truth interwoven in the story. I laughed, I cried, I pondered. I also loved attorney woo. these drama representation of a changing Asian society is relevant all over the world. The same emotions, the same pain and the same happiness underpin every single human being and every human society we live in. We are all one. We are all interconnected. Be the change you want to see. Love and light.

resty Aug 08 2024 10:26 am 1000/10 you must watch it, at least once in a lifetime :)

seeun Jun 20 2024 9:44 am Park Eun Bin proves again that she's a irreplaceable actress. Chae Jong Hyeop already caught my attention during his Sisyphus and Nevertheless era, so i know he has potential to portray a lead character. At first i didn't like how they give the spotlight to Kang Woo Hak and be with Seo Mok Ha the most to the point that the real male lead is out of the picture, but as the drama flows they let Kang Bo Geol and Seo Mok Ha bond and totally focused on the two, which i like so the leads can have more moments together. I just wish that they add more scenes where Mok Ha is living in the island. It's so amazing how the child actors resemble the adult actors. This became my comfort drama, a drama with no specific plot but you still enjoy watching it.

Emi Jun 01 2024 11:41 am My fav kdrama of 2023. It may be 2024 and I'm commenting this but it's because I rewatched it again for the 5th time and the story is incredible. I mainly watched it because I found out woojin was in it but ended up loving the show altogether. I went through so many emotions watching this show, I was sobbing, smiling, screaming, scared and even shocked. I would also say the first episode alone should've been a whole movie, it was crazyy

Bytm May 19 2024 6:58 pm How can she survive in winter ? Normal human wont even survived 1 winter without proper clothes and warm place, let alone 15 winters?

Ish Apr 30 2024 2:08 pm A pure joy! Watch it, believe me, watch it :-)

JJJJJ Mar 22 2024 6:54 am story is good but the part where seo mok ha is have many clothes/changing clothes in every scenes in deserted island doesn't make sense. It Is Deserted Island but where does the clothes came from??????????????

Brooklynienne Feb 29 2024 4:42 pm This is a good drama. It started out Very strong, but it got sidetracked with too many shenanigans.

I Adore Pauk Eun Bin! She's a rare talent!

Koreanloverrr Feb 11 2024 6:55 pm Oh my God!!! Love love this drama m. Definitely a 10/10, the acting, cinematography, directing, musical. Wow!!! Kudos to all the actors, wow they made something out of the drama. Park Eun Bin as usual doesn’t disappoint, she comes once a year to release a wowing drama. Chae Jong-hyeop too was so good, I fell in love all over again. He took us all on a ride. By the way, is it just me, he kinda resembles Park Yoochun from when he was young, particularly in ‘Missing you’. Also N, he did a good job as usual, a definite all rounder in both music and dramas. They definitely were all good in the drama.

Soso Jan 27 2024 1:38 am I really liked this drama it’s from my top 10 for 2013 The only thing that made me sad is that it’s only 12 episode I wanted more

Erika Jan 13 2024 12:57 am Solid drama that I would recommend but it is a romantic flop. So as long as your expectations are low there, you will enjoy a great performance by Park Eun Bin, Moon Woo Jin and the adult MLs.

There were too many plots but the one I enjoyed the most was the one that got the least attention and that was the fantastic love story that came about from 2 teenagers who were experiencing a world of trauma and pain.

The singing should have been the only side plot but they sprinkled in too many other elements that took up precious romance time IMHO.

Erika Jan 11 2024 11:46 pm I'm am now actively rooting for a throuple.

Zeila Jan 07 2024 2:08 pm First ep tough to get through. Both kids being abused by their fathers. THEN, the girl's father severely beats and kicks the boy right on a public dock and not one person in the crowd steps in to help the boy????

Jillibean Jan 06 2024 3:28 am I had a chance to rewatch this drama with my visiting adult daughter over Christmas. She really loved it. It's fun to watch a drama with others sometimes, instead of solo. You get to see their perspective on Korean drama stories too. Castaway Diva was definitely in the top five of Korean dramas produced in 2023. Don't miss it.

Gia Dec 30 2023 9:29 pm Love this drama, the story and all the park eun bin's songs and soundtracks...

I adore the actor who played young ki ho.. his eyes acting is superb, top notch

It will be one of my most favourite dramas ever

Einjel Dec 29 2023 10:28 pm ??? Love this k drama, light, exciting and inspiring to watch. Kudos to all the actors, directors and production staff. ???

Lynnette Dec 23 2023 12:06 am Absolutely enthralled with this drama due to excellence in al areas ! Loved every moment!

BB Dec 21 2023 3:53 pm Here just to comment what a great actress Park Eunbin is!!!!

Brinda Dec 21 2023 3:52 pm Castaway Diva was a masterpiece, writing and directing was amazing. Of course cast was glorious too. Park Eun-bin did an amazing job as usual, singing and acting was on point? Chae Jonghyeop and Cha Hakyeon’s acting was perfect. All cast did great! OST it’s my favorite of 2023, because the way the lyrics connect with the story it’s just amazing!!

I just hoped the drama had more promotion and better (physical) ost design. Other than that, this drama was 10/10 !!!!

Selena Dec 17 2023 12:34 am Terrible romance. There was no chemistry between the leads and the story was all over the place. The show focused more on the female lead's connection to her idol and the male lead's anger towards his father. The leads did not really connect with each other and were each on their own path so the romance fell completely flat.

Anonymous Dec 16 2023 11:27 pm Eun morae! I was shocked by her appearance. She kinda looks like Thai actress Davika Hoorne. So beautiful and excellent acting skills, she successfully made me hate her at the first moment.

Teume Dec 12 2023 1:16 pm I just finished watching this drama, this drama is very exciting. Anyway, I like it. Park Eun bin's voice is very melodious

JP Dec 11 2023 10:53 pm Chae Jong-Hyeop (ki-ho) did a great job of playing older Ki-ho. He managed to project the same kind of thoughtful patient personality that young Ki-ho had. An added bonus was that the actor has the same color as the young Ki-ho. Young Ki-Ho was never exuberant or over the top, he just quietly supported Mok-Ha and did everything for her. Just as the actor cast as older Ki-Ho does when he meets her again. I think the casting people made the right decision when they chose him.

Sherly Florce Dec 09 2023 4:41 am Love.. love this drama, the story is amazing actress is superb, they acting with whole hearth. Love the story line even though some say this and that but we all know its kdrama anyway.

JP Dec 08 2023 10:08 pm Why does Mok-Ha have several different outfits on the island? Also pans for cooking, bottles etc. Isn't is supposed to be a deserted island? Even if people had been there before, no clothing would have survived the weather. I'm surprised the writers made this mistake, or am I missing something?

BMR39 Dec 08 2023 9:50 pm Park Eun-bin is a truly rare, exceptional actress. in her immense talent, deep intelligence and unmatched versatility. She meets every acting challenge by transforming herself into her character a total way. What other actress could ever range from Attorney Woo, to the dual role of the (male) king in the King's Affection to the budding singer Seo Meok-Ha here in the Castaway Diva? As a great actress Park Eun-Bin ranks as high as Meryl Streep in the US or Jeanne Moreau in France. Her singing this time was a total surprise for me. Again !

    I followed Castaway Diva mostly because of her. I was curious to see how she was going to handle this new challenging role. She does extraordinarily well. 
     But Castaway Diva is not a total success like Attorney Woo because of the casting mistakes made by the director: Cha Hak-Yeon should have played the role of smart Chung Ki-Ho who rescue Meok-Ha from her abusive father. Not the role of the brother Chung Chae-ho. Cha himself is sharp, bright and convincing.  Actor Chae Jeong-Hyeop who got the role of Ki-Ho is rather dull and uninteresting.  In fact, for several of the episodes in Seoul, I was confuse. who was Ki-Ho and who was Chae-Ho between the two Chung brothers ? i

Yetty Dec 08 2023 11:06 am I love this drama 1-2 episodes only. After that it was still enjoyable however 11-12 I can’t already. Especially last episode is too blunt. I never fast forward kdrama before but this time I can’t anymore.

rj Dec 08 2023 8:03 am First time to write a comment about kdrama. This one is sooooo good that you want to watch it again and again.The female and male leads have that stunning chemistry. Acting was great and the plot was too beautiful. Highly recommended :-)

Radwa Dec 08 2023 3:51 am Simply put, this drama was very healing. I think both this drama and Twinkling Watermelon are the best not only this year but for several years. I haven't watched any Korean drama this good in a long long while.

The chemistry between Ki-ho and Mok-ha is absolutely beautiful, he cares a lot about her, always protects her and even though he suffered he made her his priority. She cares a lot about him and his family and always wants what's best for them and even though she went through a lot she still shines and gives others so much hope, she's amazing!

As a reply to the comment below, I absolutely DISAGREE. Chae Jong Hyeop is a great actor, I really do hope he takes more roles. He's so real & natural, that you won't even feel he's acting, and you can feel everything his character is feeling from just his eyes! I see nothing but the chemistry between both the young version and the older version of them. He was the most suitable main character.

Meh Dec 07 2023 7:12 am Watched the drama from the start to the end. In the first ep, I could clearly see the chemistry between the couple when they were children escaping the island. Park Eun Bin is a good actress that showcase a wide range of emotions through her facial expression especially her eyes. Unfortunately, her co-star Chae Jong Hyeop couldn’t meet the standards…. His acting was stiff, it was like looking at a robot acting. Every words, every expression was stoned without emotions. I seriously could not see the chemistry between both of them.. Sadly, I expected more of the main male actor but his acting is really bad without emotions… Cha Hak Yeon should be the main male character instead of being the second lead, his emotions and acting is so good

YellowTulip Dec 06 2023 10:54 am Very beautiful drama... I really love the chemistry between Park Eun Bin and Chae Jong Hyeop... The kiss scene in Ep11 was so beautiful with the perfect songs... I really hope they can get the best couple awards... Castaway Diva... Best Drama of the Year ✨✨✨

June Dec 05 2023 10:13 pm I have really enjoyed this drama. I felt for Park Eun Bin in Attorney Woo but in Castaway Diva, I felt for her voice. I was actually amazed to found out she was the actual singer. I think the cast was perfect. I would have preferred Ki-ho to be the other brother tho. I liked his character better but nice job to the writers to make us believe otherwise !

In an alternate reality, the drama happened 30 later Descendants of the Sun, spin off of Seo Jung Yeon and Lee Seung Joon, 30 years later, in a bad marriage. Seeing them together just reminded their relationship in DOTS.

John Laurence Erlano Fernando Dec 05 2023 10:03 pm I have fallen deeply in love with Park Eun-Bin's voice in "Castaway Diva." The series, while not necessarily emphasizing romance prominently, has left an indelible mark on me, and I truly believe that no amount of kissing scenes can surpass the sheer brilliance of her voice. Throughout the entire series, I found myself experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions—crying, feeling sad, and getting excited in equal measure.

If there were a voting system in place, I would wholeheartedly cast my vote for "Castaway Diva" as a top K-drama for 2023. Park Eun-Bin's performance, coupled with the overall emotional depth of the series, has truly resonated with me. It's not just about the romantic elements; rather, it's the raw and authentic portrayal of emotions that has left a lasting impact.

Sharing my sentiments about the series and Park Eun-Bin's exceptional voice is something I am eager to do. Even without a formal voting system, expressing our appreciation for such outstanding performances is essential. Whether through social media or online forums, discussing and recommending "Castaway Diva" can potentially connect me with like-minded viewers who share a similar passion for quality storytelling and remarkable acting.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse "Castaway Diva" as a top K-drama for 2023, and I encourage others to explore this captivating series, not just for its romantic aspects but for the rich emotional tapestry it weaves, brought to life by the incredible talent of Park Eun-Bin.

leeresshi Dec 05 2023 8:25 pm The romance not have much scene between the leads but it's a good story. I would lie if I said I don't want more and hoping it was 16 eps, I still want to see them tbh. Overall, I love this drama so much, it didn't only focus on the love line, but also brothers relationship, sisters, family, father's love, mother's love, daughter's/son's love, friendship, long-lasting relationship, your love to your passion, etc, so much more which made this story so special to me, the drama is beautifully made. Thank you to everyone who work for this drama.

vivi Dec 04 2023 11:53 pm the ending song so beautiful and represent all the story

Lee Dec 04 2023 9:46 pm Park Eun-bin is a Really Multi-Talented artiste!?Great actress, I know from 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' but she can really sing. I get goosebumps when she sings. Her voice really lifts your spirit. She is also good with musical instruments. When she speaks in a different accent, it's really natural. Love this all-rounder actress??

Nimmer Dec 04 2023 7:45 pm I really love this drama, starting from episode 1. Although Seo mok ha was lost for 15 year, she later achieve her dream with a lot of care and support from Ran joo, Ki ho and his family This drama should have reached 16 Eps.

Estaban Dec 04 2023 2:40 am What a sad 11 episodes....the first was very hopeful. This should have been called the "Castaway Script". Too bad the lead female star has this on her resume!

Jillibean Dec 03 2023 11:11 pm I did research on the writer's other works, one was I Hear Your Voice which is in my Top Ten Favorite K-dramas after close to 1000 watched over 20 years. Then there is one called Strangers In Paradise and two characters jump off a cruise ship at the same time, end up on an island and fall in love! That drama was way back in 2006! Too funny. She seems to have a fixation on characters jumping off ships. :)

Unni Dec 03 2023 11:04 pm Mokha's final words to Ranjoo were encouraging. They came at a time when I'm going through low moments. Don't live in self-doubt and keep asking the what-ifs. Immerse in the next 5 mins, 50 mins, 5 hours.. What can you do? Enjoy the moments and keep going in the direction you want to go. One day, you will get there.

TRE Dec 03 2023 9:18 pm Both dad's were in this and strong girl nam-soon

smarty-pants Dec 03 2023 8:10 pm when one talks, normally, one's eyes would reflect one's mood. However for those with different agenda, they would pretend to be in different mood. Poker face means one intentionally set him/herself as such so others could not read what is going on simply by reading the face. Ex. in poker game you don't want other to know that you got bad cards. so you set your face blank or just plainly so opponent can't read your face. But if you are being decent to the one you talk to, you would have honest face when you talk to the person. Now having said all that, back to the drama, you dont converse with people you care and give that blank face, giving the impression actually i dont care about you, i should be somewhere else right now rather talking to you.I am a bit sleepy actually. Not one tiny gesture showing that you pay attention to what is going on. you are just talking. No change in the voice , eyes blinking, or not even acting showing interest. But since you are not in a poker game, where you intentionally playing plain facade, then what is the point of acting like that.

Jade51 Dec 03 2023 7:34 pm Does anyone know the title of the song and the name of the singer in episode 9 of castaway diva? The man on stage called. YG Park in the production house I think, thank you

i love you Dec 03 2023 7:09 pm the ending was not it..

Jillibean Dec 03 2023 5:56 pm Maria, how funny. Playing a prosecutor with the same name in two different dramas. I wonder if he'll make it a threesome in another drama in another year or two? Here comes that Prosecutor Lee Ji Gwang again! Lol!

Ems Dec 03 2023 3:58 pm We need more episode. I love this Kdrama.

To salty Dec 03 2023 3:03 pm Love this drama.. So many beautiful song

Gagetti Dario Dec 03 2023 2:27 pm What a beautiful TV series director Oh Choong Han and writer Park Hye Ryun have given us. Thank you! Outstanding as always Park Eun Bin, who for us is undoubtedly the best Korean actress. Very good once again Chae Jong Hyeop and Lee Seung Joon. A guarantee as always Seo Jung Yeon. A special mention for Cha Hak Yeon, who was perfect in the role of the third wheel in the love triangle, showing himself to be insufferable, arrogant and conceited in the first part of the series, witty, attentive and sensitive in the second. Bravissimo!

A series that deserves a rating of 90 greetings from Italy

Amir Khan Dec 03 2023 2:18 pm Wow... The show was fantastic. Really enjoyed it...

The cast performance was spectacular ?

Maria Dec 03 2023 1:39 pm @jillibean he even has the same name in While You Were Sleeping. Not Come and Hug Me

Noni Dec 03 2023 1:38 pm Awesome drama. Am I the only one who didn’t like the Tly Away song? I felt it was very anti-climatic.

Rielle Dec 03 2023 1:22 pm I realllyyyyy love this Drama, I just can't believe it was ended too soon. I will miss every one. specially Mokha and Ranjoo unnie. ? This is one of the best music drama I've ever watch because everything makes sense, the details, the story line, it is superb. I can't wait to see your new upcoming drama Eun bin. And I hope Ranjoo unnie and Monrae will have their breaks too. they are really good. ❤️❤️❤️ It taught me about how to love people unconditionaly inspite of not being blood related. To not worry much about anyrhing and just do all the things you love then the success will follow.

Bobaurora Dec 03 2023 1:08 pm Best drama of the year for me...ended perfectly. So thankful for the great story...directing and cast.

Meg Dec 03 2023 12:18 pm This was by far one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched. A beautiful story that keeps you glued to the screen from the beginning to the very end. It’s the type of show that you’d like to see get a second season but you know it doesn’t need it ? This will be one of my favorites for a long time!

Mint Dec 03 2023 11:40 am Prosecutor Lee Ji-Gwang is also the Prosecutor in while you were sleeping a very nice easter egg in the drama

Jillibean Dec 03 2023 11:13 am Thanks to everyone who alerted me about actor Min Sung-Wook as the prosecutor in episode 11. I see they have even added his face and character name to the page today. Very good. I looked up his resume: I had actually seen him in a whopping 15 other dramas before this one. Too funny. You know their faces but rarely learn their names when they are mostly supporting players or special appearances. What I liked about how he handled the scene was that it was obvious his character saw right through the corrupt biological "father" and understood why his estranged wife couldn't live with him. Just the way he looked at him you could tell he wasn't buying the man's lies. Excellent.

Sal Dec 03 2023 3:45 am Uggghhh! bad people have the upper hand continuously, too much for me ..

Chow Susan Dec 03 2023 3:42 am Jillibean

The actor who played Prosector Lee Ji Gwang in episode 11 ,if i am not wrong is Mr Min Sung-Wook.

Maria Dec 03 2023 2:38 am @jillibean. He is min sungwook recently in First Responders and 3 Bold Siblings. He played the part Lee Ji Gwang in Come Hug me. Very Good Actor

Chancellor 7 Dec 02 2023 8:53 pm @Jillibean I agree the prosecutor seems very familiar, and he was so confident in his acting. He was really good and made an impact. It usually is like that when they are a big guest star, so maybe he is…

I think the show needed 16 episodes. All of a sudden Ran Joo got her voice back?! & they should have done the music video together. I really wish they would’ve shown more of Mokha and Ran Jo’s fun relationship, and how Ran Joo actually found peace to get her voice back. They said the voiceloss was caused by stress right? Anyway, I’m guessing the Heyday Again show episodes and the performance stage were really expensive, so that’s why we don’t see much stage singing again. I wish we would see them both sing more and show the idol journey. That moment at the wedding was beautiful. I hope the OST has all these songs, they brought tears to my eyes.

Yep the earlier comments are correct, Woohak is made to be Mokha’s best friend. He also lost his childhood memories so he is learning to grow with his friend who experienced the same thing. Mokha needs Kiho as a boyfriend. Woohak needs her as a friend. Unless they plan to share (haha just a joke).

Jillibean Dec 02 2023 8:21 pm Which actor played Prosecutor Lee Ji Gwang in episode 11? I don't see him listed here. He did a fabulous job in his scenes. He looks so familiar to me, I know I have seen him in other dramas but can't remember which ones. If anyone knows please post the answer. Thanks! (I will be sad when this drama ends, it's been very good).

B00 Dec 02 2023 4:12 pm I love this show, I dont want it to end!! Boo only 12 episodes darn it. Park Eun-Bin is an awesome actress and she can Sing!!. This was a very good show, Im sad its ending

Soe Dec 01 2023 6:55 am nothing but praises, Park Eun-Bin always shines in her dramas, and the brothers acting is very superb, and both has a weirdly soothing voices, looking forward on their next projects!

Gravity Dec 01 2023 4:16 am i'm upset cuz they gave us all the woohak and mokha moments in the first few eps and they were so stinkin cute. i cannot un-see. and now im butthurt. i want woohakkkkkkkkk ue ue ue (crying noises meme)

Dam Dec 01 2023 3:50 am I found Cha Hakyeon thanks to this drama? I really like Woohak's character, even though it's sad, it's well written. Hoping a good ending for Woohak and his family too. It's not always about getting a girl or not, i just want him to be happy and that'd be enough??

Anne Nov 30 2023 8:58 am Mokha and woohak wouldn't have worked. He's too selfish and immature for her. It would feel like taking care of a younger brother instead of being their partner.

What she needed was someone reliable and who can give her stability after living on a deserted island for 15 years.

She would not get that from woohak.

Gospelofdavid Nov 29 2023 5:49 am At the beginning of this drama, it was amazing. I would have love it more had it been that the writer focused more on their career and not adding romance.

Beats me to it. Woo-hak should have been the kiho. I rest my case and my cheering.

Aah!! All the actors performed well?

nari Nov 27 2023 8:28 am My theory about Ran Joo’s mother is that she is the one that initially financed the RnJ without Ran Joo’s knowledge and have President Lee as co-maker or investor for it. They have an agreement, Ran Joo care less about the business side but her mother wants to support her more. So the shares of Ran Joo is from her mother, now that she is sick, I think President Lee used that to fully control the agency by owning it by kicking RanJoo out. Remember that the initial name of the agency is Ran Joo, that is the idea of Ran Joo’s mother because of her support and fondness of Ran Joo.

I think in the next episode, the mother will be able to read the article or watch the press conference about the shares which will remind her of the agreement or owning the RnJ. The key must be a key of a safe where the agreement was.

That will be the full evilness of President Lee, he was only raking advantage of Ran Joo to fully own the agency.

Sya Bakar Nov 27 2023 7:33 am 1 would rate this drama 10/10

The characters in this drama are so realistic and I am glad the writer does not emphasize too much on Woo Hak's feeling towards Mokha. The scene where he cried when Mokha left is not unnecessary tho, since there we would think "oh he finally admit his defeat".

Bogeol/Kiho on the other hand is the greenest flag ever. He is the whole garden, the whole forest. His matured thinking, supporting Mokha in everything she does and not even a negative thought when he sees Mokha tried to leave the rooftop. We all know Mokha and Bogeol deserve each other and will always support each other come hell or high water.

To whoever that is mad when Mokha left the rooftop need to understand that Mokha has been living her life in hell since she was young. And of course it is understandable that she will chase her dream since the chance is right there. Also, Bogeol also said to her the only way for her to help them is by being famous. Mokha knows that, Bogeol is also aware of that. These two people are just adults who try to live their life, and accept that this is how the world works, and not all people would understand the backstory of their lives.

It is sad how underrated this drama is. Both the leads are great with their acting and not even once i actually did not see them as their characters because they are just too natural and good with their expression and intonations.

People should give this drama a chance. Cant believe there are only two episodes left.

poolah Nov 27 2023 7:21 am My stomach turned upside down when she revealed that she had eaten the sea gull’s eggs T_T I cannot imagine how awful that must have felt for Mok-ha whic Eun-bin was able to deliver I was crying with her. Such a good writing and acting

Ibnu Nov 27 2023 3:19 am I really need to know what Mok-ha sing at studio (episode 10). That song is superb, and I constantly like it.

Mokha's second fans Nov 26 2023 11:44 pm This is the best Netflix drama I ever watch, the plot is simple and realistic like in daily life but it's so interesting to watch. This drama has many lessons of life, I love their acting too especially Park Eun Bin, her acting is so natural and she suits this character well, also her voice and lee re voice are so good, daebak!! they must be real singer too❤ I hope there'll be season 2 for this drama❤

Grace Nov 26 2023 1:04 pm I like it! But please!! change her accent... it's Sooo annyoing...

Estaban Nov 26 2023 1:02 pm The arc of this story was written so poorly. And if the keep the romantic interest as is, I'm tossing this one. The initial storyline, belief in her talent, and pushing her while falling for her was Kang Woo-Hak. Why they are not following that initial setup is taking so much from the storyline created and for some reason the brother has inserted himself, deviously, in my opinion! We get a tease of Seo Mok-Ha kissing Kang Bo-Geol next week. Zero interest in this guy . Way too needy and not who her heart was set on while on the Island for 15 years. Good grief, the writer's must be drunk!!

country bumpkin Nov 26 2023 1:12 am Can't they just get over with that yesteryears' background? PEB so far is still waaay... so underutilized. C'mon PD nim...exploit her skill to the brim... The rest of the cast either swim or sink. One is almost sinking already. Rather crappy performance so far. Let'go Eun Bin...! Pump up the jam..! No worry about the underachievers.Let em sink...

Chancellor 7 Nov 25 2023 5:28 pm Wow, what an annoying father to have! You’ve abused them and say you want your family back, so why are you trying to send them to jail! Seeing that character just annoys me now!!!

My gosh manager Park Yong Gwan story is so sad! Many people give up on their dreams, but sometimes it only works out when you wait a little longer and never quit!!! Till the end like Mok Ha sang! It would actually be great if manager Park Yong Gwan was the love interest for Ran Joo, imagine if he loved her all these years from afar! That would’ve been a brilliant twist!

I wonder what Ran Joo’s mother was talking about? I wonder what the key is for? I also wonder if Ran Joo will ever sing again, maybe another duet with Mok Ha? Ran Joo also shouldn’t give up!

I understand President Lee doesn’t care about his artists, but I think the producers/writers should have made that clearer. They should have made him a more evil character, because right now his soft character doesn’t match the evil things he’s doing like Ran Joo’s contract and giving Mok Ha old songs.

Oppa Nov 25 2023 2:56 pm The operations manager and the baseball player from hot stove league are now in a romantic relationship. ???

Co Nov 25 2023 2:40 pm I love everything about this drama, I keep rewatching & rewatching it. The songs are wonderful. I so much love the singing parts. The voice is so sweet and amazing. I want more of this drama please.. I can't wait....❤️ Park Eun Bin I love you.....

alua Nov 25 2023 1:17 pm Chae Jong Hyeop acting is amazing ? (other actors also did a great job)

Marlon Nov 25 2023 1:12 pm I'm So sad for Mu kha and bo geol's mother!! I'm waiting for Episode 10!! Bo geol faster save your mother and mu kha to your father!!!

Amelie Nov 25 2023 11:53 am The plot is pretty messy. But I like the family drama. I wanna hug all of the main characters :(((

Harper Nov 25 2023 11:42 am I am way more invested in the family drama than the music career. They are just way too far on the emotional extremes that it feels like whiplash cutting between them. But I am completely hooked!

Bl Nov 24 2023 1:05 am Guys, I don't understand,

why don't Eun Mo-Rae and Park Yong-Gwan don't like Yoon Ran-Joo anymore? I thought Park Yong-Gwan was a fan of Ran-Joo?

Bingo Nov 23 2023 1:02 pm I just couldn't accept why after 15 years stranded on the island, her fingernails were still nicely trimmed

Ifah Nov 21 2023 11:22 am I love Park Eun Bin voice and the songs. I kept playing the singing part repeatedly. She has amazing voice and tough character. Strong and resilient.

wede Nov 21 2023 12:23 am just some observations: Is it just me or Park Eun Bin looks older/ more mature than both male leads (i know IRL they are all more or less the same age)? i somehow feel like she's their older sister lol. I love Cha Hak Yeon here, for me he's the most interesting character here. But I'd agree that Chae Jong Hyeop is better suited to be Ki-ho, what with his moody looks - though as stated above i think there's a visual mismatch IMO. looks wise, I'd say someone like Na In Woo or Kim Min Kyu would be better suited as Ki-ho to Eun Bin's Mok-Ha

Chancellor 7 Nov 19 2023 11:47 pm Young Mok ha was amazing, but young Ki Ho is also really good let’s not forget. He expresses the sadness and childhood worries really well!

I think Bo-Geol/Ki Ho the right guy for Mokha, she needs that calm balance and protection. but I also liked when Woo Hak was happy and supporting Mokha. Once he got his memories back he has become more negative and cold towards Mokha. I prefer that he returns to his happy self and also stands by Mok Ha too, without fear of his father.

✨✨ Nov 19 2023 8:32 pm For those who are saying that Bo Gyeol (ki ho) doesn't deserve to be the main lead. Things he had done for Mok Ha till now: 1. He was the one who shot her video and sent it to the music contest. 2. He was the one who helped Mok Ha run away from her abusive dad. 3. He was the one who waited for her for 15 years at the same place where he promised to meet her. 4. He was the one who started volunteering on every island possible every year just to find her. 5. He was the one who bought her shoes, just as he promised her 15 years ago. 6. He is the one who convinced his parents to let Mok Ha stay in their home till she get on her feet. 7. He was the one who saved her from his father. 8. He was the one who made the stage ocean-themed just for her to feel comfortable and familiar. 9. He was the one who helped her go on the stage and sing just as she dreamed about. 10. He was the one who met her idol (Ran Joo) and requested her to remember Mok Ha's name and all. If I've missed something, pls let me know. (cr kdrama)

your sunshine Nov 19 2023 8:30 pm 7 and 8 these episodes are the best because we saw them together a lot (Bogeol and Mokha) their tension is another level. Kiho-ya... So sweet.. His (Bogeol) efforts are really extraordinary... Waiting MokHa at Seoul Station every years, Island keeper club founder to found MokHa who lost at the ocean, military service at navy, becoming video producer to help Mokha reach her dream...now I need happy ending for KiHo and MokHa .. hope police father will get the karma soon.

Ella Nov 19 2023 6:59 pm Im so confused who she will end up with woo hak is my cheering for but im confused like episode 8 is leaving me mad but at the same time confused what will Mok-ha end up with!?‍♀️

Forale Nov 19 2023 1:07 pm Just finished ep 8. Really great storyline. Makes me curious what happens next. I loved both main lead. But I liked Bo geul’s character more. But the story flows made me think that they will not end up together. Or perhaps Bo geul sacrifice him self for Mok ha and all his family. It’s going to be tragic ending Nooo! I,m overthinking now. I hope my guess is wrong.

Woobo Nov 19 2023 12:22 pm Tension between Mok Ha and Bo geul is strong. Chemistry between Mok ha and Woo hak is sweet too. I think she'll end up happy no matter which of the brothers she ends up with. They are both very admirable. This is the first time I ever root for both ML and 2nd ML.

Chancellor 7 Nov 19 2023 8:54 am Wow the Eun Mo-Rae actress (Bae Gang Hee) is really good at being evil! How she threw the coffee right on the assistants shirt haha! She was also really evil in The Glory 1 and 2. I really hope she is an angel in real life!

luaua Nov 18 2023 12:03 pm Moha's destiny is Bogeol, they must stay together no matter what. Bogeol did everything for her from the very beginning and still supports her. I don't understand people who say they don't have chemistry. Please open your eyes and look in detail. The whack is good and funny. Between Ukhak and Mokha I feel only friendship, not love. Bogeol and Mojas' tension is on another level. Just enjoy the show.

Steve Nov 18 2023 11:27 am This is a decent drama and who doesn't like the wonderful Park Eun-Bin, but why the violent back story. It seems like in most k-dramas today, even the love stories, there is some level of violence and at least one truly evil character. Does violence and evil exist in society? Absolutely, but it does not need to permeate every story.

Chizzy Nov 18 2023 10:54 am I dont want to be a spoiler. I will not mention names. Just watched the ep 7 and was not happy who turned out to be the real ji ho. I felt the chemistry with eun bin more with the other actor. I wish it will turn out that present ji ho is just a super protective friend but eun bin will end up with the other actor. Or the 3 will kust all stay as friends.

Hello Nov 18 2023 8:23 am Why park eun bin is looking so dangerously pale? Many koream actors look this way what is the reason? Is it filters or some lightning or some kind of skincare?

Lee re was amazing noone coukd replace her.

Suzie Nov 17 2023 10:17 am Brilliantly well acted directed and written. It’s so beautifully unlikely that it’s almost a fairy tale - 15 years on a desert island, but it doesn’t matter, I love it. Such an intriguing plot. Great leads and support cast, mystery, romance and thrill.

But one tiny comment. The actors all, especially the men, have on too much foundation make-up. Never seen that before. I know men wear lipstick, but the thick mask-like appearance is not good. 
OST and singing fab. Waiting for Episode 7. ❤️❤️

Jillibean Nov 16 2023 10:55 pm Didn't think I would, but I am having a hard time adjusting to the older characters years later in episode 2, even though I adore Park Eun Bin. I keep missing Lee Re. She blew me away with her performance in episode 1.

Brenda Nov 14 2023 9:43 am I am just curious...is that really Park Eun-Bin and Kim Hyo-Jin singing voice?

nari Nov 13 2023 9:44 pm My first theory and comment here was right about Bogeol and Woohak being real brothers and their father beating the whole family and caused Woohak’s lost of memory. Now, there is a secret that Bogeol is pertaining to, that will destroy their entire family. About their stepfather, my theory is that upon their escape they encounter the family of their stepfather that caused an accident killing the stepfather’s real family, I think he also suffer memory lost. As Bogeol said, they cannot escape their abusive father because he can easily find them just being their father, simply changing their names won’t do. They took the identity of the stepfather’s real family that is why when Woohak tried to convince the stepfather he insists that Woohak is his biological son. So, only Bogeol and their mother knows this secret. That is best for them to change their identity, by taking someone else identity. I think the river that being shown on Mokha and Bogeol’s dialog about secret has the answer to this. Ciao!

Sam Nov 13 2023 9:12 pm Looking at the cast, i still don't know who is san hee. She keeps appearing on the drama sounding like ranjoo. Is she her old self?

Jussttee. Nov 13 2023 3:32 pm @who is go san hee?

Go san hee might be Yoon ran Joo tho. Remember mok-ha said she changed her name in EP 1. There's a very high chance she's go san hee.. Buh why did mok-ha leave her? I believe we'd find out soon.

Jussttee. Nov 13 2023 3:26 pm No we all know bo-geol is ki-ho.

What really happened? How were they able to get the names and ssn they are using? What's inside that river? How would the battle between mok-ha and mo-rae turn out? I'm stoked tbh.

I can't wait for the seventh episode.

KiM do Nar Nov 13 2023 10:11 am Eeewww with Bogeul if he is Kiho, not a good actor, so trying hard, not a good chemistry with ParkEun Bin. Oh please, pick a better lead actor!! Woohak would be a great plot twist if he is Ki ho, plus his acting is not trying hard.

Emerald V Nov 13 2023 9:35 am I love this drama! Of course, it doesn't make sense, but as long as you enjoy watching it, why not? Not a problem if it's logical or not. All actors are superb with their given roles. I can see the slightest details effortly put in by the durector / scriptwriter. I laugh and cry watching Castaway Diva! Caught myself watching an emotional scene inside a train, I immediately had to take a tissue out of my bag before people started to notice me bawling in the train! Lol I am now a fan of Chae Jong Hyeop and, sorry to N (who I think is a good actor, too), but I am shipping Mok-ha and Bo-Geol more than anything! :D

Icebox Nov 13 2023 1:20 am Love triangle again. Love triangle again.... Actually at first I was hanging back to watch this, bcz seeing from the poster this might be a love triangle trope, which I actually getting tired of. But, from what I see, the dynamic of Mokha and Woohak is more like a besties, which I actually really like. And I hope the writer would keep their besties dynamic until the end and not suddenly making Woohak catching feelings for Mokha and just caused conflict between two of them and Bogeol. And it also will be a perfect example of how when a man and a woman get closer with each other doesn't mean it always has romance include in it. Rather adding unecessary love triangle, I want them to focus more on Mokha and Kiho/Bogeol's relationship that started from just a pure and innocent friendship and growing to romance after reuniting again after 15 years

Ben Nov 13 2023 1:01 am Are there hidden easter eggs relating to the 2009 movie ‘Castaway on the Moon” or am I crazy?

jasmine Nov 12 2023 4:04 pm i just hope tht the old lady is not ranjoo bcos the lady ended up alone in the hospital.if she were ranjoo, that means mok ha left ranjoo at the end. i hope not....

Chancellor 7 Nov 12 2023 3:41 pm This show really brings me joy each time I watch it, Park Eun Bin is so good at bringing that emotion. When they sang at the wedding it sounded so good! Does anyone have recommendations of other artists who make music like this? I was thinking maybe IU but I don’t know many korean musicians! Please help me!

Chancellor 7 Nov 12 2023 3:40 pm I haven’t finished episode 6 yet, but if Bo Geol turns out to be Ki Ho I’m fine with that…he matches Ki Ho’s personality more. Woo Hal would also be good as Ki Ho. But I’m fine with whichever way it goes, that’s part of life! They both care for Moi Ha and show love in two different ways…one is emotional & over the top (Woo Hak) and one is quiet and serious (Bo Geol).

I think Bo Geol may just end up as just her friend, as he is similar to the Boss from Startup, which Park Hye Ryun also wrote. He is mature and will understand if she doesn’t pick him.

Chancellor 7 Nov 12 2023 3:33 pm @shai I think the old lady could be Mok-Ha’s mother? Because they showed her when Ki Ho’s father was also on the screen. Or maybe Ran Joo in the future…I’m not sure, but don’t worry it hasn’t been explained…It says here that she will only be in episode 4-5??? So how will they explain it…I’m unsure also

Dontfeellikewatchinganymore Nov 12 2023 1:22 pm I so wanted Ki ho to be Woo Hak.... They got us attached to him with all these cute scenes, now we must make Bo geol the lead and main love interest ? I am disappointed And I hate love triangles even more with siblings.

Zo Nov 12 2023 1:05 pm I really love the chemistry between Moi Ha and Bo Geol ?? Earlier in the séries, there were more.focus on Woo Hak and Moi Ha but now we sée more of Bo Geol and Mok Ha. ??

Aimen Nov 12 2023 12:37 pm I'm loving this drama sm. . . . . ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Diva Nov 12 2023 8:14 am I wonder who's the old lady at the hospital? I really wanted to continue watching this, but kinda tired if they added the uneccessary love triangle.:((

Who is Go San Hee? Nov 12 2023 5:24 am Hi there, Can someone please tell mee who that old lady (played by Moon soon) is? I thought the she is the future version of Yoon Ran-Joo, but here character is named Go San Hee..

Did I missed something? Thank you!

2nd Lead Syndrom Nov 12 2023 5:16 am Okey I agree if Kiho = Bo geol, but i still love if Woo Hak with Mok Ha

laura kim Nov 12 2023 4:22 am main male lead is Chae Jonghyeop & main female lead is Park Eunbin.. ofc Kang Bogyeol is Jung Kiho. It's obvious in the remaining episodes Bogyeol will ended with Mokha, and Woohak is just a 2nd lead.

This theory is always repeat in every Korean dramas, except if the writer will give a big plot twist I don't know...

Bo Geol=Ki Ho Nov 11 2023 2:13 pm @Nari and @Ahgassi, I agree with both of your hypothesis, it’s the mostly likely scenario. Also @Yo the reason why you see Bo Geol’s indifference could be due the fact that he’s trying to mask his identity especially since his brother has memory loss and could get triggered into getting his memory back and exposing himself to Mok-Ha could bring his family is danger because of his abusive father. I believe that in the subsequent episodes when they finally reveal his identity, we will see a flashback of his real reaction at the beach and him going through all those emotions all alone trying not to get caught by others. I believe that’s why he’s not getting much screen time as well due the fact that they’re trying to keep the viewers guessing as to which brother it is. That’s why we see more of Woo-Hak for that very reason. But already we are seeing him lingering around her and trying to help her even if it’s under false pretence.

This show is really exciting and it’s a breath of fresh air especially since I was totally disappointed by the escape of the seven series and had to give up at episode 13. I hope this show will continue to improve and show character development of all the main characters.

Park Eun Bin seems to pick great characters to play and really diverse which shows her skills as an actor at being able to make the audience immerse fully into her characters and forget that she’s playing a role.

Zo Nov 11 2023 1:27 pm After ep.5, I'm more confident about thé fact that Bo Geol is Ki Ho. Even through writernim wants to confuse us with Woo Hak memories ans without showing Bo Geol's concern.for Mok Ha, there are some clues that Bo Geol is Ki Ho, thé shoes he bought, he knew the meeting point without anyone telling him, hé seems familiar to Ran Joo,thé way hé talked in the car which remind Mok Ha of Ki Ho, his attitude in general. Of course there IS also another hypothesis that woo.hak IS ki ho and that hé told BO Geol every thing before losing his memories. And this is why Bo Geol knows some informations. Anyway, i still think Bo Geol is Ki Ho.

For who will end UP with Mon Ha, I understand that woo hak carring about mok Ha is touching. But still, I'm on team Bo Geol. Hé suits more to Mok Ha. Can't wait seeing how his interest in Mon Ha will grow.

As for mok Ha, she is still Desperate to find ki ho and support Ran joo so i don't think she had time to think about our boys in that way but we're still on eo.5, she'll soon become conscious of them. Now she's Closer to woo hak but i think her relationship with Bo Geol is starting to grow an bloom :)

I'm on the Bo Geol and Mon Ha ship (Bo Geol being Ki Ho or not)

Zo Nov 11 2023 12:55 pm @rosemarie it was Ran joo. She was inspired by Ki Ho who approches her to talk about mok Ha

Rosemarie Nov 09 2023 4:40 pm So who wrote the lyrics of “That Night?” Was it Ki-ho or Ran-Joo? Episode 3

Yo Nov 09 2023 2:43 pm It makes no sense for Bogeol to be Kiho... He was waiting for her and even went every sunday to wait for her for years, but he has no reaction at all when he sees her on the island?!?!? He knew what she was wearing when she fell in the ocean. But even if he didn't remember, his brother told him her name and that she likes Yoon Ranjoo... idk sus. If he is Kiho it'll be disappointing

smarty-pants Nov 08 2023 2:25 am iam not korean, but PEB' s accent is not typical. What accent is that, and how difficult to talk different accent like that for a native speaker?

nari Nov 07 2023 10:49 am Bo geol is Kiho. He will still deny it until he made sure that his father is no longer a danger to them anymore. He has more people to protect now. His mother, brother, Mok Ha and step father. Woo Hak and Kiho are real brothers, them and their mother are all being beaten by their father. Woo Hak accident would be caused by their father it might be by protecting their mother or Kiho since he is older brother, and the father think that he is already dead that is why the father only acknowledge or speak only about Kiho being his child. Kiho might be locked down by their father when the mother escaped with Woo Hak, that is why he remained with his father. I am holding to Sherlock’s quote “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact”. Ciao!

Justt Nov 07 2023 6:58 am Glad I'm not the only one thinking about the brain transplant theory.

We'll see more as the story unfolds though the brain transplant theory is the only thing that makes sense rn.

Ahgassi Nov 07 2023 6:49 am okay woo hak is not kiho. bo geol is kiho. Let's go back to his teenage years where Kiho was very determined to change his identity and even change his name so that no one would recognize him, and so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore. that's already the answer look how bo geol doesn't like discussing about kiho, he always diverts it because he has trauma about it. Woo Hak's memories are just a diversion to keep us confused. Wouldn't it be more interesting to make viewers curious and ask questions?

Kirin Nov 07 2023 4:26 am One thing that doesn't sit right to me when people think Kiho = Woohak. Assuming Woohak is Kiho, why would the writer make a character who has been physically/mentally injured for almost all his life? To further explain, Kiho was badly injured by his father and once from Mokha's father in his time in the island then as he escaped to Seoul for a new life and gets injured again through memory loss which technically means for 31 years he suffered physically = from abuse and mentally = memory loss/identity crisis? What kind of logic is that? What's the use of giving Kiho's character depth in the 1st episode only for his character's conclusion to be someone who had memory loss? I know the writer isn't dense enough to make a character who gets a free pass from a cliche memory loss to be endgame. That's just sloppy writing right there.

That's why I'm 100% sure Kiho didn't get memory loss.

Mei Nov 06 2023 7:42 am Why do i feel like Bo Geol is the actual Ki Ho. And would love it if it’s actually truee

Xuan Nov 06 2023 3:05 am It’s not Kang Woo Hak, two of them had been abused by threat dad. Here’s what I think: Kang Woo Hak helped Kang Bo Geol escape but injured himself. Cuz remember near the end of episode 1, we can see that Ki Hoo waited for so long even after coming back from the marines, which means he still has memories of her about her after high school.

Kihoo Nov 06 2023 1:54 am Haha yeah kang woo hak is the real Ki Hoo...

Feleee Nov 05 2023 10:21 pm Well I hope that Kang Woo-Hak is the real Ki-Ho I love him so much.

Sojein Nov 05 2023 9:03 pm Cha Hak-Yeon can play brother to Song Kang. They have physical similarities.

Jussttee. Nov 05 2023 7:20 pm That's why it's good to keep emotions out of business deals.

Yoon ran Joo loves her manager and now see where it led her to.

That one doesn't want her to collect her shares even though she was part of his success story. Sad.

minh ka Nov 05 2023 7:05 pm it does make me wonder if park eun bin does all the singing here, or if there's another singer that she's lip syncing to

Mary Norman Nov 05 2023 5:26 pm A brilliant drama and superb acting! It makes me smile and I genuinely look forward to watching it each week.

sooya Nov 05 2023 5:16 pm what happen if Yoon Ran Joo betraying Mokha by using her voice? i have kinda suspection abt that.

Molly Nov 05 2023 1:53 pm I think Bo geol and woo hak are brothers who both dealt with their fathers abusive behaviors. I believe their mom must’ve ran away and took woo hak with her while the dad kept Bo geol and it ended up that Bo geol dealt with most of the abuse.

Or Bo geol’s dad took him and changed his name to ki-ho so his mom couldn’t find him.

Could be as simple as this.

Love_Park Eun Bin Nov 05 2023 1:06 pm Great drama, great acting, great soundtrack... Completed !!! I love ost "Someday" soooo much, and Park Eun Bin sang it sooooo well, amazing voice. Amazing acting too. You are phenomenal Park Eun Bin.

Chancellor 7 Nov 05 2023 12:27 pm I really don’t understand how 30 year old brothers are copying each others clothes & style, and fighting to stay in their parents house. It’s so funny! They are worse than Mokha who was on a deserted island for 15 years!

GMa Nov 05 2023 12:26 pm User rating vote 100! Love the show and Park Eun Bin is the best and so very talented❣️

Chancellor 7 Nov 05 2023 12:24 pm I can’t believe it is really Park Eun Bin singing! It seems they are using her voice for Ran Joo’s young voice and Mok Ha’s voice too.The songs are really beautiful and well written, I almost cry when she sings. I’m really impressed.

What a talented woman!

Also Eun Bin is so funny when you don’t expect it …her voice and cheeky acting is perfect for this role. Especially the times when she sometimes behaves like a boy with Woo Hak…it reminds me of her role in The Kings Affection

Siapasaja Nov 05 2023 11:34 am I have a theory that Bo geol is Ki Ho and Woo Hak is Woo Hak. He got an accident in the past and got something to fix in his head. In that moment, Bo Geol aka Ki Ho transplanted some part of his brain (?) in order to cure Woo Hak and to be allowed to enter Woo Hak's family. So that's why Woo Hak has a big scar in his head and has some Ki Ho's memories.

In the end, this is a fictional drama.

Good series by the way.

Steve Nov 05 2023 11:31 am The drama has been a mostly fun and easy watch so far. Something was bothering me, however, that I could not articulate until now -- look at how flawless everyone's skin is - especially Park Eun-Bin. I get that she's beautiful, but the digital filtering used gives this a drama an unrealistic look. It's not just the skin smoothing effect, but also the color and tone of the footage. I think most of the filtering is completed in post production. They shoot each episode then a digital editor uses sophisticated software to enhance the overall look of the scenes and characters. This, of course, is not new but it's applied too heavily in this drama. What autotune did for pop music, digital filtering is now doing for television.

Ayi Nov 05 2023 11:09 am @Eskimo, Ran joo is only 42 years old present time. Ki ho is the same age as Mok ha. Mokha is already 31 years old. Are you saying Ran joo gave birth to Ki ho at 11 years old?

Kdrama lover Nov 05 2023 10:33 am I feel that the main focus now is the identity of Ki-ho and this can't be the only plot for the remaining episodes ?. It's like the drama should be called finding Ki-ho.

Eskimo Nov 05 2023 10:10 am We all know Bo Geol is Ki-ho, and Ran Joo is his biological mom who abandoned him on the island many years ago to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. Ran Joo finding Bo Geol familiar because he is a TV producer is just a red-herring -- she recognises her vaguely because he's her son!

IzzMH Nov 05 2023 9:44 am @Baby Taehyung, you are not alone. Haha

IzzMH Nov 05 2023 9:42 am It seems like Woo Hak is Kiho but BoGeol is the male lead? But why? I ship Mok Ha with Woo Hak though ?

Baby Taehyung Nov 05 2023 9:13 am ???I like Woo-hak and Mok-ha. Thinking that Bo-geol is Kiho makes me feel sad..???

Janette Nov 05 2023 6:59 am I also think Bo Geul is Ki-Ho. The young actor who played Ki-Ho in the younger days is an amazing actor. I can't believe how much he has grown since playing the younger version of Park Seo Joon in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. In about 5 years, he shot up! There is no way Ran Joo will end up with Ki-Ho .. come on! They have come such a long way from ... not to end up together. Please let them be together Mo Hak and Ki Ho.

B Nov 05 2023 3:12 am @J I believe Ki ho is BG as well, maybe your logic of the family dynamic could be plausible. It hadn’t occurred to me but that scenario make more sense that she married a man with a son already and changed her son’s name legally to protect him against his father. On the first episode Ki Ho’s father made mention of him running away to his mother and she knew her whereabouts.

I believe WH has a memory loss as he has said so many times and that’s why BG is confident in saying you’re not him because he knows for certain. Also, since his father is looking for him he has kept his distance to ensure his safety and his identity not being recognised. It also makes sense why he would be volunteering in the island maybe he has always been searching for her. If you noticed his reaction when he found her it wasn’t a shock or horror but it looked like he was relieved and he was keeping his emotions in check. He manipulated his brother into helping her because he knows he’ll do that opposite of what BG says. That’s why his reaction to finding out that she was staying in the roof room wasn’t a surprise.

I’m watching this for Park Eun Bin she is an amazing actress, very versatile, from comedy to melodrama. Her emotions are always on point and her characters believable.

Yang naco Nov 05 2023 1:58 am i can't wait to see the full episodes i feel excited and curious who is kiho and where he is?? i hope that episodes 4 ..they meet mokha so that i can sleep peacefully ?

Trexie Ann Nov 04 2023 6:29 pm Please make Cha Hakyeon the male lead. ?????

J Nov 04 2023 5:58 pm BG is definitely kiho, because of all the shoes and ran joo thinking he is familiar, woohak mentioned that he is one year younger, maybe that's because he skipped school the year that he escaped from his father. Maybe the mom is his mother and she was hurt by his father, and later on she married woohak' father

Amir Khan Nov 04 2023 3:07 pm Park Eun Bin is just one of the best actresses.

I mean her emotions are on point and execution/ delivery is just mind blowing.

The cast is doing an amazing job overall

mimimomo Nov 04 2023 1:38 pm this drama is so good im hooked. anyone who doesnt like this drama and saying that it's illogical.. oh please.. watch a documentary instead. the plot is fresh, the script and all the actors are perfect!

Scarlet Nov 04 2023 10:39 am Bogeul is Kiho! I’m sure with those facial expressions, and Ranjoo thought he looked familiar, reason is because they met 10 years ago. Maybe there was an accident happened that caused Woohak lost his memory, and also caused her mother’s injury. Maybe Kiho was also involved that time they were both hospitalized, both parents learned Kiho’s past so they decided to adopt him.

Lorena Nov 03 2023 6:19 pm The actors that played the young Mok-Ha and Ki-Ho were wonderful! The end of the second episode was so lovely, from Yoon Ran-Joo's expressions of insecurity, then hope, and then gratitude towards the crowd and the same expressions towards Seo Mok-Ha. Kang Bo-Geul's mesmerized expression while watching Yoon Ran-Joo was wonderful, as was Kang Woo-Hak's expression of almost disbelief and admiration while watching Seo Mok-Ha. Seo Mok-Ha's childish excitement before the show was so endearing. Her adoration for Yoon Ran-Joo was so pure. Mok-Ha sang beautifully, and when the two hugged at the end it was absolutely touching. I am hoping that in the coming episodes these four characters will be only good and supportive of one another, that any adversity will be external, and that they can conquer it all together. I wonder if Kang Bo-Geul is really Jung Ki-Ho (that was him in the navy uniform, right? I am thinking he would not have enlisted in the navy if he was prone to sea-sickness), but it might be cool if he fell in love with Yoon Ran-Joo so that Kang Woo-Hak could be with Seo Mok-Ha. I'm also hoping for a connection, maybe long lost cousins, between Yoon Ran-Joo and Seo Mok-Ha. The acting in this drama is superb. I am loving every bit of it so far. I've been playing the ending and beautiful song over and over!

Ian Nov 03 2023 12:10 pm This drama made me realise, Park Eun Bin is this new generation's Ha Ji Won. I remember how HJW used to do variety of roles and yet get recognized for being good at it. Also her works were a hit. Now it's the same with PEB

KG Barbecho Nov 03 2023 12:15 am My I know of Jung Ki-Ho is a live because it's make to me curious for me I want full episodes ?

Eve Nov 02 2023 10:23 am I thought Cha Hakyeon is the main lead??

Keysha Nov 02 2023 10:18 am Things bothering me while watching : Where, or how did she get all the good umbrellas? How did she survive in the winter? And if she can make a place for live from the wood, why didn't just she make a boat and leave the island? In the second episode, woo hak has a bad seasick. But when he came to Chunsam island with mok ha, he was really really fine, even make a call. I like the actors. But something feels off about the script. Its keep bothering me. Anyway, lets wait for ep 3 to see the progress.

Gene Nov 01 2023 7:38 pm I love Eun bin and her versatility whatever genre of kdrama it is. She is the standard if versatile korean actress. However., I just dont like the plot of this story. Already have a similar plot for an idol like singer. Just dont like the story and this love triangle etch. I guess I mostly prefer a revenge kdrama, thriller/mystery, action, fantasy. A mixed of action/comedy/romance. This plot is not my type for now.

Sally Nov 01 2023 1:41 pm They could run away while going to school after all the ferry only will departure after 6am-7am, Mok Ha father wont be suspicious and thought she’s still in school. How Mok Ha could ever lives there for 15 years, in the isolated island, the writer’s imagination is too much..but i loves the story and most importantly the selection of song so far personally for me are the best among kdrama i watched this year!!

Cathiren Nov 01 2023 10:13 am I see my self in Mok-ha Lol i didn't notice my tears.

Ahgassi Nov 01 2023 8:08 am I really cried a lot watching this drama. I always ask why Mok Ha always wears a long-sleeved uniform apparently to cover the bruises on her hands, and the same goes for Ki Ho. Even though I hope that episode 2 will tell more about how Mok Ha can survive on the island, especially in winter. also where did he get that good umbrella, so it still bothers me because there is no more detailed explanation about it.

Day6loveee Nov 01 2023 4:17 am At first i want to watch the drama because young k from day6 sing for the ost. but the drama itself so good haha continue watching.

akira Nov 01 2023 1:45 am I really love this k-drama

Rosie Oct 31 2023 11:19 pm I cried watching the ep2 ... the teenagers casts and the parents casts really did well potraying the scenes

Okaydokie Oct 31 2023 5:29 pm Anyone who wtached start up be warned this is by same writer so be prepared for major 2nd male lead syndromes and heartbreaks.

Jasmine Oct 31 2023 10:42 am I really love the story line and I love that chae jong yeop is the ML… he is sooo fine and love all his movies alot

Celine Oct 31 2023 5:39 am Lmaoo idk this is new park hye ryun drama. Be careful with second male lead! Hahah and the love triangle sht.. all her drama really have the best pilot ever to be slide flop away. Dont expect too much

Babo Sana of Twice Oct 31 2023 5:35 am Of course the real Ki Ho is the main lead which is Kang Bo Geol although he’s ugly lol.

Redbell Oct 31 2023 2:09 am reminds me of the drama 'Start Up'. where the childhood story is played by someone who is not the main character. but seriously, N deserves better!!

Brooklynienne Oct 30 2023 5:06 pm So far, so Excellent. Park Run-Bin remains Superb. I haven't loved a start to drama this much since. . .

Extraordinary Attorney Woo!

jk Oct 30 2023 5:02 pm @tehee i could totally understand how you feel. he was second male lead in Joseon attorney but i preferred his portrayal of emotions as compare to woo do hwan. and now this

tehee Oct 30 2023 12:01 pm I'm disappointed Cha Hak-Yeon is not the ML.. again... Seriously he deserves a lead role!

Lav Oct 30 2023 11:36 am The first episode made me bawling, as a domestic abuse survivor couple scenes kinda triggering. But, the child actors are so good potraying the emotions.

The story between Kihoo and Mohak are really touching, I'm sure Kihoo is Chae jong hyeop.

The last scene of episode two is really good too, Park Eun Bin is really amazing, her voice and emotion is really another level.

Bo-Geol Oct 30 2023 10:01 am Don't like the story line, but i like CJH, the only reason I watching this drama

Diva Oct 30 2023 9:04 am The storyline seems to be so good. But i'm kinda tired of seeing the love triangle. Hopefully it's not happening.?

lunia77 Oct 30 2023 8:34 am Again second lead syndrome. N character catch my eyes rather than lead actor. His character is more outstanding.

country bumpkin Oct 30 2023 7:02 am ...stranded in the island for 15 years is of a rather outlandish idea. Somehow extenuate that loophole by saying that there are about 3000 isolated islands in Korea, ok,.. i go along with that. I brand myself as a broad minded and open to new ideas kind of person.It wont hurt me anyway. So, I let it slide by thinking that they don't want to waste too many episodes about the island's life. Just spend some minutes in the first episode and 15 years passed by. However before i start thinking that some writers took me for a fool with all that life in the island - such as how the heck she still wore the same shirt from 15 years ago, or how she washed her hair - the story starts to unfold rather smoothly, and i forget about my rather unsettled feeling about the island. So, my suggestion is : let it ( the island story) slide. And focus solely on PEB's acting. The concept is a 31 years old woman with a 16 years old mindset. That is one difficult role to fill in. The problem in watching PEB's performance is she makes it look easy, whilst actually it is that difficult. So I miss lots of scenes where i didn't realize that actually it is that difficult to perform that particular scene. Example:. The scene where she was busy distributing green ballons. Like a teen get excited about her idol. PEB performed it well , not too much, not too subtle. Just perfect. How to explain that... the sincere feeling of a teen kid, and her happiness in supporting her idol; her way in conversing with the adults. I rewatched the scenes to realize the meticulous performance she did there. Looks like an easy scene to perform, but no, it is not an easy task to act like a 31 years old with a 16 years old mindset. Verbally and Non-verbally. Having said all that, lol, I root for PEB to perform in more difficult scenes later on.

Sakaru Oct 30 2023 4:52 am Watching this drama... I couldn't help adore my dear Hak-yeon (Woo-hak) I've seen him play several supporting roles and now that he's a lead and is surely the second male lead who will be forgotten by the female lead T_T painnn I love his character here so much... Anyhow , the story is pretty feel good so I'll continue watching. Love EunBin too

Ijustwantentertaiment Oct 30 2023 2:28 am First 10 minute and its already so annoying. Rudely asking for help, making a scene. The boy pitied her and let her borrow his phone battery to make a call For Free. When he got angry bcause he thought it was an actual emergency, she and her friend curse him out like he was the wrong one?!

You are the one who forget to charge the battery, young lady. It was good enough you got to talk to your idol, which would Never happen if he didn't let her borrowed his phonee. Cant stand these writer ugh

avidkfan Oct 29 2023 11:28 pm @Naz, I mean she was on an island for 15 years which resulted in her being clueless about all the changes in the environment

Naz Oct 29 2023 8:09 pm Why does Mokha look so clueless about everything? It's not like she came from the Josean era.

Jok Oct 29 2023 7:42 pm Okay i found out the writer and director are from startup and story is similar and i dont thinki can take the pain of the sh.t wtiter did to people in start up, so i might wanna drop, also the whole roo jan unnie angle is so annoying. Woo hak will give het trurnlove and all and then suddenly bogeol will be the ki hoo and somehow tables will be turned. Sorry i dont want same pain to repeat

KDramaFan Oct 29 2023 7:41 pm I didn't think I'd like this drama, but the 2 actors who played the teen leads gave incredible performances that drew me in. The storyline is much more poignant than you might think with the English title. Now I can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

The Phantom rogue Oct 29 2023 6:32 pm As i watched the 2 episodes, The shoe thinggy in episode 2 as how mok ha valued it so much, My tears fell through and reminds me the previous episodes how ki ho sacrificed himself in order to save mok ha.... It so.....

Rosie Trevino Oct 29 2023 6:09 pm Not disappointed so far! Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes. ?

Chancellor 7 Oct 29 2023 5:02 pm Some new thoughts as I finish episode 2:

Chae Jong-Hyeop looks a lot like ahn hyo-seop (business proposal/a time called you). Even how they act with no smiling lol. It’s funny that they’re names a similar.

Also the singing voice for adult Mokha really matches Park Eun Bin…I wonder if it’s actually Eun Bin singing

Jk Oct 29 2023 2:31 pm Dont care if Bogeol is Kiho, I prefer WooHak as the ML

iLoveTheCast Oct 29 2023 12:38 pm The cast is awesome! The story has me hooked! The mystery about what happened to ki ho has me gripped. Maybe woo hak or bo geol are both adopted so the story is implying it could be either of them. There are moments i think it’s bo geol bec he cared to have her story killed, the shoes but it could be woo hak bec of the memory thing, his love for gadgets, his stubbornness and his vibe. So yk?! I am just excited to see Park Eun Bin again! With N and chae jeong hyeop!! Love love loooooove

Anna Oct 29 2023 12:22 pm The first episode was great, the child actors did a great job. But the second episode is even better, all the actors are so great. And I already love the chemistry between the brothers and Mocha

Jong hyeop wife Oct 29 2023 12:21 pm Y'all Bo geol ah is ki ho, he didn't forget! The first thing he did when he saw her was to get her the shoes!!! He said they should get shoes first when they got offshore I'm crying.... I love this drama sooo much wish they brought all outttt

RaMi Oct 29 2023 11:57 am The casting is in point cause the younger acts look so much like their older counterparts

Anon Oct 29 2023 11:48 am Bo geul is Ki Ho. That's why he works as island volunteer just to search for Mok ha.

seokjinie Oct 29 2023 11:36 am i think bo gyeol is the real ki ho, it just so happen that woo hak doesn't remember his life before highschool, the same time ki ho came to their family

also, the scene in ep1 where the teenager ki ho waited at the train station doesn't wear eyeglasses anymore, and the adult ki ho will surely not wear glasses anymore because it's a dead giveaway of his past life

they will not give it away easily that woo hak is ki ho just bec he wear glasses and has memory loss

i smell love triangle brewing

Rmont Oct 29 2023 11:30 am Kang Bo Geol is Jun Ki Ho. Because he never forgot his past that’s why he was always waiting by the old Seoul Station. Kang Woo Hak is a red herring.

KPrincess Oct 29 2023 10:47 am I'm so excited for the next episodes. So this is my thought on who is who... I think Bo-Geol is Ki-Ho. When he was young his mom left cos of the father's abusive behavior. The mom remarried and had Woo Hak. Maybe they changed their age and renamed Ki-Ho so the biological father wouldn't find him. Also, Woo Hak thinks that he is Ki-Ho, and Mok-Ha feels that Woo Hak is Ki-Ho cos they have the same vibe... Well, Woo Hak always copies Bo-Geol... I'll just leave it here. I can't wait to know if my hunch is right.

jim-kopa Oct 29 2023 10:47 am Ki ho is the guy with the dark green jacket and white shirt at the show when Eun Bin singing , :) ;)

Chancellor 7 Oct 29 2023 10:20 am Bo Gyeol seems more like Ki Ho….could it be him? hmm

Jessy Oct 29 2023 10:17 am Pretty sure Ki Ho is Bo Geol!

Chancellor 7 Oct 29 2023 10:05 am @joey Mok ha is a fangirl when the internet was new, so this was normal to call the local radio, and buy cds and posters of your favourite artist. You had to work harder to see your favourite singer on tv, sometimes even record the program on cassette. I believe those days more kids were strong fans as I saw my older siblings like that

Chancellor 7 Oct 29 2023 10:00 am @hmm woah woah woah park eun bin is an amazing actress, she is definitely not a downgrade. Even if you don’t want to talk about woo young woo, she was great in the kings affection. Those two alone are far better performances than a lot of the other hyped actresses. I have faith she will deliver in this.

Chancellor 7 Oct 29 2023 9:49 am Maybe Ki Ho is Woo Hak or Maybe they are trying to trick us…maybe the older Ki Ho no longer wears glasses…if you look at the first episode when he waits at the same clock in Seoul , as he gets older and wears army uniform he is not wearing his glasses…interesting.

Q Oct 29 2023 8:55 am Ah I see. I guess it's Woo-Hak since he has the same look as young Ki Ho

Alez Oct 29 2023 6:59 am Coz the adult ki ho change his name

Q Oct 29 2023 5:56 am Ok but anyone notices that there's no actor playing adult Jung Ki-ho. Any idea on why that character disappears?

rolly Oct 29 2023 3:47 am hi looks very good, good actors whats the name of the tarot card set that was used? regards rolly

Marie Oct 29 2023 12:34 am Her appearance doesn't look like someone who has been stranded on an island for 15yrs. I don't buy it, even her place looks so much like a setup.

Joey Oct 28 2023 11:36 pm I don't understand Mokha's sentiment as a hardcore fangirl.. Like when you're still in middle or high school, wasn't studying more important?? Maybe because I never cared about any celebrities during my school life..

Joey Oct 28 2023 11:35 pm I don't understand Mokha's sentiment as a hardcore fangirl.. Like when you're still in middle or high school, wasn't studying more important?? Maybe because I never cared about any celebrities during my school life..

farmersfodder Oct 28 2023 11:11 pm Lee Re definitely nailed how a younger Park Eun-Bin would handle this story. Even down to her mannerisms. Can't wait to follow Lee Re's future as an actress. People have the right to their opinions but insulting a phenomenal multi award winning actress like Park Eun-Bin saying she has huge shoes to fill from the younger actress performance (see my first two sentences if you're confused as to why that's rude) and she's a downgrade makes you a moron. That is all.

Hmmm Oct 28 2023 10:23 pm @s seen her even before she was famous in almost most projects and except oh my twenties nowhere she impressed. And here lee re is like a powerhouse of talent that hardly any actress can match up to, and park eun bin can't even imagine. It felt like a quick downgrade when mok ha grewup.

s Oct 28 2023 9:40 pm @Hmm erm have u seen eunbin and her projects?? she’s absolutely insanely talented she aces all roles and does it beyond well. she’ll easily do this one too.

Mark Oct 28 2023 8:57 pm You're telling me she has everything on the island except a boat? Idk how to process yet because scene Mokha in a deserted island are not convincing enough.

Hmm Oct 28 2023 6:32 pm Young mok ha was so good acting wise looks wise that seeing adult mok ha felt disappointed. Eun bin has huge shoes to fill now.

cnlp05 Oct 28 2023 5:38 pm ep1 was a tear jerker I'm crying the whole time

Youti Oct 28 2023 12:32 pm Will watch this for our Dino❤️

Jjang!! Oct 28 2023 12:04 pm They are casting park eunbin and chae jonghyeop from my favorite mega-hit drama hot stove league

I have high expectation since hot stove league left huge impression that is hard to replace so I want to see another excellent drama from both of them

seokjinie Oct 28 2023 10:45 am 1st ep and i'm hooked and shooked at the young actors who played the lead, young ml reminds me of nam da reum, those emotions at such a young age wow

Nana Oct 28 2023 10:08 am I'm not watching yet as EP1 is still not available in my country, but I am just curious. If she was stranded on that island alone, how did she get her clothes? Normally, people who are stranded in the jungle or on an island for so long don't get dressed like that. Plus, her clothes look good and are not shabby.

Those poor kids having such terrible parents :(

mb Oct 24 2023 1:01 pm reply to Roman PECZALSKI: the drama will have lots of other elements outside of comedy! based on character descriptions and the teasers, we're looking at things like domestic violence, abuse, loss, adoption. how are those things not "real life people dilemmas"? the story is very deep, the characters intricately intertwined by some past traumas, and we will see how it will affect their current lives. please do not judge too quickly!!

Mmm Oct 22 2023 4:28 am Dear chakannim (: Please make special appearance with dosan-dalmi couple.

Roman PECZALSKI Oct 20 2023 3:58 pm "Castaway Diva" is a light melodrama, for a very large audience, intended to be heartwarming and cheerful. In this category it is a good film and it will be much appreciated by PEB fans. But there is nothing surprising in it. The start point is original but the series ens up as a rather conventional production about young people trying to do their best in their life. This is a perfect series for a very young aspiring actress starting her career and who needs absolutely to please the largest audience possible. Is this the kind of film Park Eun-bin needs to do at this stage of her career? I wish she would make psychological drama dealing with real life people dilemna, dealing with authentic social, professional, personal issues. I would like to see her in a more melancholic and contemplative films. Comedies are not the only way to convey positive thinking. A positive message, which is good for the mind and the soul, can also be transmitted in an actual drama, by the authenticity of the situations, the sincerity of the emotions, the depth of thoughts, the complexity of the characters.

K-drama Lover Oct 20 2023 1:53 am I am excited to see this.

Daiaau Oct 10 2023 9:09 am Two Male Leads are brothers here?! And Park Eun Bin ofc with <3 <3

SESANGHEYEAH_SESE Oct 08 2023 9:07 am regardless of what it's lacking I'm intrigued by everything about this, I've witnessed Park Eun Bin as an actress and she's iconic in each of her roles, she devoured all of it and left me speechless. I'm looking forward for this drama! :)

seina Oct 06 2023 9:46 am A+ actor and actress.. but after reading the synopsis, lol 15 years in the deserted island?? Ok does she’s living in the middle of pacific ocean or what…

Misha Sep 26 2023 4:30 am A kot of people actually think it's a bad plot? I guess there are plot holes and loopholes but the premise of the synopsis seem promising. I can't wait to watch it. Park Eun bin is a very adaptable actor and she also sing in real life!! Pretty sure people will queue up to watch her she's very well-known personality now.

Chey Sep 26 2023 2:19 am Park Eun Bin is such a versatile actress.... Already loved her when I watched her in Judge vs Judge for the first time. And then in Hot Stove League and tge rest, as we say, is history! Amazing actress and I'm glad she's not underrated now.

Clara Jul 12 2023 9:44 am Do they still shoot S2 of EAW ? Can't wait for this one. It sounds really interesting and Eun Bin is phenomenal

HBA May 19 2023 3:00 pm Park Eun-Bin is a wonderful talented actress...i view her excellent awarded drama "The King's Affection" then actually viewing the awarded too "Extraordinary Attorney Woo"...do not miss them they're excellent !

nata Apr 28 2023 9:31 am the plot is really interesting omg 15 years??????? can't wait to watch!

.... Mar 18 2023 7:16 am chae jonghyeop male lead of park eunbin, reunion of hot stove league!! you should watch it, it's really good

FlowerBoyaa Mar 10 2023 8:38 pm Omgg This will be a hit drama!! With Talented Cutie EunBin and Chae Jong Hyeop your chance has come to become a big star!!! And the famous duo Writer nim and PD nim too!!!

may Mar 09 2023 9:32 am in Park EunBin, i believe she could execute the role excellently! im excited for toned arms and tanned skin Seo Mokha who had lived her life in the stranded island and tried to adapt herself in the civilization again. Things will be so new for her after 15 years and I cant wait for Eunbin's different appearance from EAW

Derek Feb 22 2023 6:56 am I'm really curious to see how many episodes they will have Eun Bin on the deserted island versus being back in civilization. It's kind of like a new take on the time travel theme. I guess Korea changed a lot in 15 years, but I wonder if she got stranded 15 years ago and is coming back into today's world, or whether she got stranded today and is returning to Korea 15 years from now. Should be interesting. I feel like Eun Bin would not choose a bad script to work on, so I'm looking forward to it.

Kimmy Feb 14 2023 9:43 am Kimmy Schmidt lol

Jilli Feb 11 2023 9:06 pm It sounds fun and different. I'm getting really tired of the "same old, same old" in Kdramas lately. Always on the lookout for something unique. This promises to deliver.

Sooyi Feb 11 2023 9:56 am @magnolia True that. "Crash Landing on You" also had an extraordinary premise, but it still worked in the end because of the execution.

Kiboy92 Feb 10 2023 12:14 pm nevermind with that plot story, the one that really intrigues me the writer that creates stories for A+++ kdrama so far this is gonna be an interesting kdrama for the upcoming list.

I bet there is a good plot twist in the story

magnolia Feb 10 2023 11:48 am everyone here commenting the plot lol. i mean...yeah it sounds so dumb and silly, BUT ffs its a drama. go watch reality show for a realistic story

im just thinking that it will be a funny, light, and somehow inspiring drama. theres no need to be that serious. me personally watch a drama just for healing purpose

Chloe Feb 09 2023 11:25 pm Surviving for 15 years without medical care, proper self care products, decent water, food etc and looking like a supermodel, without rotten teeth, health or skin issues. I bet that's how will it be. I'm tired of these bad plots. ?

stumpdII Feb 09 2023 7:45 pm Sounds good to me.. i wait with anticipation :)

Inmo Feb 09 2023 6:05 pm First of all, Director has had some successful works. Both he and writer also worked together a few times, so at least this drama would turn decent. But Logically, how big South Korea is and how many deserted islands there could be? Not to mention a habitable one that a human can survive alone for freaking 15 years. Gotta say ms. Park would have to hard carry the drama again.

Liz Feb 09 2023 2:16 pm Omg this sounds like a 2010 plot, love itttt! I hope it's silly and funny. Kdramas need to go back to being unrealistic, I'm so tired of all these boring new dramas with sad endings....

Kdrama Feb 09 2023 8:37 am the male lead will be chae jonghyeop

and watch hot stove league y'all...

Fg Feb 09 2023 6:22 am Song joong ki please for lead male

MissA Feb 09 2023 1:39 am This plot is unrealistic and seems bad... I do want it to be successful but I seriously doubt it.
