A Ilha

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!

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.

As someone not into horror, I can't believe I watched the first two episodes with no skip. I love the action and suspense. Cha Eunwoo's appearance in the first episode was iconic and now going viral for his role as Priest Yohan, like how to be a exorcised by you Father? Dahee and NamGil also had a dramatic entrance and the action was so great. I am so looking forward to the next episodes after laying the back story. Would Yohan's back story in the next?

I've waited for two years to watch Cha Eunwoo again in kdrama land. And the wait is worth it. I'm glad he did this drama. Fighting Island Squad!

Korean Drama " Island " is the first part of the sci fi fantasy drama that is a webtoon adaption.

The drama has some intriguing characters and a gothic mood to it, with a few notions of horror and a lot of mystical plotlines.

It would have aided the drama a lot with the two main characters had more scenes together and better chemistry to justify their 'bond' and help the viewer engage and care about them.

The story, also, needed more time to have a proper development.

Nevertheless, it was enjoyable and the performances were pretty nice.

So, overall, seven stars out of ten for the first part of the series.

Korean Drama " Island Season Two " is the second part of the sci fi series with a horror undertone.

The story goes deeper into the past of the heroes and the myth that surrounds the island. The big battle finally arrives as well, with the drama focusing on the characters preparing for it.

On the plus side, the mood was there and the fantasy element was well handled.

On the other hand, the characters turned out to be cliche stereotypes, especially when it came to the reincarnation of the main lead, which was eye-rolling at some point.

The performances were enjoyable though.

So, overall, six out of ten.

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.
