Island

I had been waiting 2 years for this drama. And finally the long wait is over, and it was oh so worth it. The story is great. The cast is superb. The cinematography is amazing. The special effects are world-class. Really, what more can you ask for? You want drama? Then drama it is. Suspense/Horror? Island got you covered. Comedy? The three main characters are showing their comedic bones as well. The banter between Kim Nam-gil and Lee Da-hee will make you smile. The youngest hip exorcist priest Father Yohan played by Cha Eun-woo will make you want to be exorcised too. His role here is so far from his previous tsundere characters. I am so looking forward to future episodes.

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!

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!

I loved it, I heard about this drama a long time ago and I thought it had been cancelled, now I understand that the premiere was delayed due to the good edition it has. The main actors fit perfectly with the description of their characters. Honestly y, The priest became my favorite character from the first episode, it's funny but dark at the same time.

I have read the story and the development is going well, the exorcism scene... Guys I didn't expect it in that incredible way

I have to wait a week for two more chapters, It would be great if they shortened the days, the wait makes me nervous.

The show uses a lot of borrowed fantasy elements (both literally and figuratively) from other K dramas and western shows, which will make it feel less original and familiar. The show is an adaptation of YLAB's webtoon, "The Island", so expect a comic book feel to the story and action sequences. Special effects and scenes will also seem familiar with another show produced by Studio Dragon called Alchemy of Souls.

Van, the lead male character, is an ancient demon slayer. Van's origin story reminds me of The Witcher in some ways. But he is a serial killer in the webtoon, so I'm not sure if they will work that into or out of the TV screenplay. (Trivia: Korean spoken language has no "V" sound, so why "Van", I don't know.)

As a horror genre show, it's decent enough to watch. Live-action adaptation of comic book/anime/cartoon shows are challenging, but this show should to be entertaining enough for those not familiar with the webtoon.
