Castaway Diva (2023)
8/10
Beautiful Actors, Great Singing, Interesting Story
5 December 2023
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.
