La Isla

I chose this series quite randomly, while scrolling through Prime Video's choices. I hadn's looked up on the cast, on the plot or on the reviews. I was just thinking that I'd like to see something different. From the very first episode I was taken aback by how well the visuals were and how astonishing the photography was! My first thought was also that this is probably inspired by anime or something relevant and found it even more intriguing. The main hero introduced himself quite astonishly! :) I remember clearly as now, muttering myself out loud "wow wow who was that?! That was so cool!!!! So, yes I got hooked on this show from the first moments of watching. The plot is so interesting, leaving me wanting more and getting curious for the sequence of the story. The cast was amazing! Truly talented and into their roles. Captivating landscapes, mesmerising visual effects! I have also seen other fantasy K-dramas and I think this was by far the most perfected in the cgi parts! Great work!! I watched this series within 3 days and left me wanting more! The ending left me with hopes of continuation. I really hope they will release a second season! It would be interesting to see the past of the heroes more detailed and also how the priest got his powers!

I've been eagerly waiting for this drama for over a year! And let me tell you, I was hooked from episode 1. It was action packed with a touch of horror... love the little touches of comedy as well.

I am very much enjoying the storyline, the production, the effects. But most notable are the actors, CHA EUNWOO, KIM NAMGIL, LEE DAHEE and SUNG JOON! They bring the drama to life!

I have to especially mention CHA EUNWOO! This is my first time seeing him in this kind of role... I am used to seeing him in cold indifferent roles... but his portrayal of the fun quirky young exorcist priest brings a refreshing twist to the drama.

I'm very much looking forward to the coming episodes!

Quite impressive visually. Part One consists of the first 6 episodes of this series. The sets are atmospheric although it doesn't look like the Jeju we know, all dark and gothic and mystical with demons and stuff. Great production values for a tv series. Movie quality effects combine with exciting action sequences. The exorcisms are quite scary even for jaded viewers. There are some back stories to give some connection to the characters. Things get quite dark towards the later episodes. The actors are well cast. Kim Nam Gil has quite a moody vibe as the half human half demon. Cha Eun Woo as the angelic looking priest. Lee Da Hee is fine as the heroine but can't help imagining how great the unique looking Seo Ye Ji would have been in this role if she hadn't been unfairly cancelled. Sung Joon plays a demon. Everyone is quite convincing.

Only thing I wish they had just aired the whole series in one shot.

I position myself in the negative camp: The fight scenes are fast.. wrong fast !!

After waytching the first episode the story in promising, good acting, really good visual effects, but when they start to fight... it's soooo fast you must watch very closely to understand what's happening :)))

The music, the CG and the story itself are all amazing. Really looking forward to the other episodes. I really hope the director will reconsider the speed in fight sceens.

This would be great serial.. but fight scenes are 2X faster than it should be... SAD. Superman it's a baby compared to those demons strength.

I Just finished watching episode 1 & 2 and I am thrilled about the story! Powerful performances on a well written scenario. Story unfolds exactly as it should, the viewers get answers gradually and o the right tempo...... I enjoyed watching, its been a long time since I found my self a good sci/ gi- horror series, apart from Supernatural, but i believe this series might just be the one! It gas everything! Plot, suspension, good performances..... The story was intriguing enough to watch, I spotted the story recently and waited for the release day anxiously! It didn't let me down.

Can't wait for the rest!
