Castaway Diva

It's worth the time. A memorable production is the work of the actors, guided by the director and enhanced by the cameramen, sound engineers and editors, both they and the story. And here, that's what we have. The first episode is a kind of bibimbap, a mixture of fragments, which put me to sleep. Apparently, episode 2 is just as bland... until PARK EUN BIN starts singing. To be honest, I had already given up after the first episode and a half, the time of transmission in Europe contributing to that. After the music appeared on YT, I resumed watching and discovered that what seemed boring at the beginning begins to connect starting with episode 3, scene by scene. In short, the scenario is risky as a format but brilliant in how the crescendo format attracts your interest. After only 6 episodes, although transmitted gradually, 2 episodes per week, it is already in the top 10 worldwide on Netflix, competing with fully released productions. Without being anything ultra-original, it's a good work, for which everyone deserves thanks.

This series dropped at the time when I started working for my dream really hard and it is made by my favorite korean director. Is this a coincidence?

Like other series directed by Oh Chung Hwan, 'Castaway Diva' is more than what you see, because it has so much meaning attached to it, and that's why I like him (and the writers he collaborates with) so much.

'Castaway Diva' is not just about a singer chasing her dream, it's a dose of motivation for everyone who dreams of achieving something. Every episode is a lesson, whether it's about career, family or life in general.

Honestly, this drama opened my eyes to many things and made me continue working on my dream with even more passion and dedication.

I think 'Castaway Diva' will remain in my heart along with 'Hotel del Luna' for a very long time, that's why they're the only 10/10 series for me.

Hope everyone reading this review keep working on their dream! I'm sure it will come true one day... in an unexpected way :)

As a typical western, and clearly I am reflecting only my point of view, I'm having a hard time keeping track of the Korean names along with the corresponding faces, in most of the kdrama series I am watching..., however, still, I have to say, kdrama is so unique, it covers so many aspects of our universe secrets in terms of love, relationships, mystery, soul purpose, the beyond, life mission, people to people interaction, and in short, it touches and manages to play our souls cords, as if we were an instrument used by a very skilled artist. This series embodies everything mentioned above, as well as a lot of numerous other kdrama series I have binged recently, and the conclusion is, kdrama has a way of reflecting the universe rules and roles for the individual person, which can be described as a devine intervention!!!

This goes not only for this series, but for most of the kdramas series that are out there..., which I strongly suggest all should watch, if the beyond is something you are interested in...

Summary: We really like this show and recommend you watch. Overall an 8. Good but not great

We watched this because of Park Eun-Bin who was so great in Attorney Woo. It turned out that Chae Jong-Hyeop, from Love All Play, stared as well and we really like him too.

The Good Stuff:

• Beautiful actors
• Really good casting and acting
• Interesting story
• Most of, but not all, the serious trauma is in the beginning, but it doesn't drags the whole series down
• Some great songs for the OST
• Ms. Park - beautiful and so talented. Watch it for her smile.

The Sub-Optimal Stuff:

• Somehow the story did not draw us in and get us as emotionally vested as the best series do.

• Not enough romance between the leads. Their relationship is caring and sweet, but lacked passion. It was fine for this story, but was a bit too low key for us.

• Pointless love triangle-ish setup. Why do KDramas insist on this plot device?

• Pretty predictable story. Enjoyable, but you'll know where it is heading most of the time.

There are scenes that remind me of little mermaid. The Kdrama is beautiful and the story is new to me. You may have seen something like it, but I don't. I don't know how it is classified as a comedy .because I cried a lot . I recommend everyone to watch it, and the ost is amazing, and the acting is great. The first episode did not disappoint me at all. In fact, I liked it very much. The rest of the episodes make you feel excited, especially the end of each episode. I am looking forward to the next episodes. I wish if they would Downloading all the episodes in one day, because I can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes.
