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!

A Crime Thriller with a Edge!!

This show was totally not on my radar and I’m still awestruck by the intricacies in this crime thriller!

Adapted from the novel “Snow White Must Die” by Nele Neuhaus, the show has an ensemble casting which includes Byun Yo Han, Go Jun, Go Bo Gyeol, Kim Bo Ra in lead roles. The opening credits of the first episode might seem slightly confusing but as the plot moves on, we are treated to a cryptic murder mystery that has been stretched over a decade, with the characters seemingly trying their level best to unravel the secrets surrounding the dual murder. The pilot episodes are quite cautious in introducing the characters partially; we still don’t have much information about the victims or their circumstances while the real murderer might still be on the loose. The show portrays the main lead, Go Jeong U as someone who was stuck by circumstantial evidence, he doesn’t remember anything about the murders that he supposedly committed; as he was drunk and the psychiatrists tagged his scenario as a “Blackout” (which conveniently worked out for the policemen because they could close the case, even though the corpses were never recovered). Let’s dig deeper and learn more about the characters!
