Diva da Ilha Deserta (2023)

just doesn't work for me

the tearjerking story of the two kids in the first episode strangely didn't touch me at all. It's really strage, as the story itself of violent parents is definitely something normally getting to me, but here - nothing. I also didn't find the two actors very convincing, and it just seemed... 'invented' and also exaggerated, especially when they are on that ship to flee, and that very young boy gets beaten almost to death by the girl's psycho dad. I didn't understand, why he didn't just tell the girl on the ship when he saw her father outside at the port, they both could easily have hidden in the ships toilet until it had taken off, and nothing bad would have happened? Next thing, the boy super tragically leaves the girl without warning her, and then he is the one going straight towards her dad at the port and bringing his attention to them both, thus confirming with his behaviour the girl is on the ship? Then we see how is is badly beaten, holding the aggro-dad off from going onto the ship... we see how the ship with the still clueless girl is finally leaving the port - and then all of a sudden, the dad is on the ship? How?? How did he even get on, without a ticket, and when the ship had actually already taken off? Didn't make any sense to me and it all seemed to be a forced story to make it extra extra tragic.

The dad can then even chase his daughter like a serial killer all around that huge ship without anyone hindering him? No personell there? No security? After he almost killed a boy for all to see at the port, leaving him there presumably dead?
The girl jumps into the water to escape the dad - cut - she is alone on a remote island.
There she has some interesting items, tea pots and whatnot, no one knows wherefrom she has all these things as she actually dropped the huge bagpack that was filled with all the good stuff on the ship, when she ran from her father.

Another cut, and it's 15 years later, so we jumped from around 2008 to 2023. Interestingly enough our now 15 years older island girl has a great haircut with nice longer wavy bangs - one wonders how she managed that all alone? Even more, she still has that same set of clothing, the only clothing she had actually for 15 (fifteen!!) years, and these clothes are perfectly fine, not torn, or ripped, colours not washed out =D

So, after these 15 long years, finally, and no one knows why it didn't happen all the years before, some dorkies with their drones are suddenly there, and our island girl is supposed to see the first human after those many years alone. They take her back into civilisation and .... I re-checked like how long was she supposed to be gone? And since when, which year? So, she was lost there since 2008. A rather modern time I'd say? Yet, when she is back in the city, she suddenly acts like a person from rather 1800, not 2008, trying to use a water tap in the bathroom, not knowing how to actually use it and then spreading water all around the bathroom like an idiot? Did she not know water taps back in 2008? they make her seem like she grew up in the jungle since she was a toddler, why?

And I could go on with these things...I really like Park Eun-bin, she had some great dramas in the past and she is good actress, but here, the story is so lacking basic sense, even she can't save it for me.

I am really annoyed meanwhile that many promising new dramas do not pay attention to anything concering logic and intelligence. Things don't have to be perfect but the mistakes just can't be that obvious and jumping at me like that, at least I get so annoyed and distracted I don't want to go on watching at all.

Dando 8 apenas pela Eunbin, mas o roteiro não tem um toque especial, não era pra ser uma história comum mas se tornou tão básico, ela passou 15 anos em uma ilha deserta, a tecnologia avançou muito, foram anos perdido e ainda assim falta alguma coisa, em still17 a protagonista fica 13 anos em coma e msm sem ter amadurecido a história corre de forma emocionante com ela lutando pelos seus sonhos, acho que faltou isso, talvez a introdução com os abusos como motivo dificultou essa linha mais sensível. Honestamente eu não sei nem a qual gênero pertence, pq não parece um slic of life, nem um romance, nem melodrama, nem roncom. A parkeunbin carrega toda a emoção nas costas com sua interpretação e sua voz linda cantando. Mas não me frustrei, pois não estava com altas expectativas, apenas queria ver pois é a atriz que tenho mais apreço.

The ML is MLing and the 2ML is 2MLing

The start of the story is where it's soul is created. Mok ha and kiho 's childhood hardship and the way they stood by each other is the best part of the drama. The child actors really killed it in this one .
The stuck in island part was kind of a filler ,with having not much impact on the story.
The part which I had an issue with was ,even though the supporting characters were great ,they had way too much screentime for their stories ,while I would rather have had much more of our leads. They had electrifying chemistry and their relationship was so heartwarming. I wish we had more of them and their growth,rather than all the backstory of Ran joo.
This was a really good drama ,and probably the first one in a while where I liked the lead pair so much. But still towards the end it felt like wasted potential.
Even the final was weak ,and ep 11 was much more like a final in that aspect.

Watch it for the absolute green flag the ML is !!!

The actress park eun-bin is best. Her acting every drama is soo good.
And both main and second male lead are soo handsome.

As per the 2 episodes released something's shown in the drama are real depiction of society some parents think beating their children is for teaching them discipline but they don't understand the mental impact children must be facing.

A Beautiful & Emotional Journey

What will you do if you are left stranded on a deserted island for 15 years?

tvN’s latest musical sojourn “Castaway Idol” attempts to answer this question in a lighthearted yet emotional manner. Starring Park Eun Bin, Kim Hyo Jin, Chae Jong Hyeop, Cha Hak Yeon, Kim Joo Heon in pivotal roles, the drama chronicles main lead Seo Mok Ha’s (Park Eun Bin) journey to normal life as she returns to the mainland, after being stranded on a deserted island for 15 years. The precociousness of the storyline, coupled with some excellent performances from the leading cast, lends a beautiful vibe to this somber melodrama. I have been religiously following the social media updates by tvN since the drama was announced. The initial posters and the trailers created enough buzz to keep this ship floating. The first two episodes are high on emotions, as we are introduced to the two main characters in this drama- Seo Mok Ha & her classmate, Jung Ki Ho. Now, you won’t find any information about Ki Ho, simply because the character’s current whereabouts are still under wraps. The drama heavily leans on the emotional trauma faced by these two characters as they fight for survival. Now, let’s get to know more about them before we dive headfirst into the storyline!
