Hey there, fellow Castaway Diva lovers, can we please be polite to people in replies who say they didn't love…
Hear hear! Finally, a semblance of some desperately needed common sense for once. I personally didn't rate this drama highly at all, but most of the responses on here are beyond preposterous, indeed, bordering on the absurd really.
Lacklustre in every aspect is not an understatement for this show, unfortunately. The young actors at first were the only highlight of an otherwise poorly written, and weakly acted drama. Park Eun Bin's character, which disappointingly was almost identical to her prior role as Attorney Woo, was really quite cringeworthy. She definitely won't be getting a Daesang for this role! One to forget, except for the OST's.
is it just me or was this dragging a bit at the last 2 episodes?
Possibly, but that's only because we are watching each episode (or 2) per week. if we were to binge it all from scratch I'm sure it won't be that apparent.
I've never watched it, nor give two hoots about the other so-called 'first iteration' from way back when - which you all seem to be talking about interminably; you just need to enjoy this new show for what it is, without any of your preconceived notions.
No you didn't! I suggest you re-read my comment again. Never asked, or needed to hear why it was unrealistic – I was simply making a point about it being so outlandish and uncanny... but nevermind, lol!
What on God's earth did I just watch in Episode 5?? An uncanny combination of the American series 'Lost' and 'Stranger Things' all morphed into one? Seriously WTF....
I'm only up to Episode 5 so far, but just wanted to remark how phenomenal this masterpiece of a show is turning out to be. Utterly sublime and exquisite in every single way. Truly a gem.
Is there anyone left, except her Dad of course, who can revenge Da Mi? Everyone who hasn't been killed off thus far all seem to have a wicked agenda, which makes me wonder if there is someone else out there who is capable of combating all the evil, and sparing Da Mi from her dreadful misfortune?
Just finished this show. There were some quite confusing cuts in the beginning - particularly between the different stories and timelines - and the build-up was rather slow development wise, but it nevertheless turned out to be a real gem in the end. Great story and acting. I did have to watch it 1.5x speed as it was just too slow otherwise. A solid 8.5/10 for me.
What a show. 10/10 for me. One of the finest, well written, and beautifully acted Kdramas out there. The FL was simply fantastic. Really wished it went on for longer though!! An 8.3 rating on MDL is criminally underscored. This deserves to be >9.
Judging by the state of the comments here, I must say I am rather bewildered by the lack of praise this show has been given thus far. Yes, there are some underlying weaknesses, but overall they do not detract from it being an absolutely riveting and thoroughly entertaining drama. I have simply been glued to the screen, and I am eagerly anticipating the next episodes to air.
This show arguably bears some resemblance to the absurd shenanigans in the Penthouse, but alas, a drama is exactly what this is, and there certainly is an abundance of drama throughout - not that I am complaining.
As ever, Lee Ji Ah is absolutely glorious, and she just has an elegance about her which is so immensely gratifying to watch.
Of course, this is only my humble opinion on the show hitherto, but for those who relished the Penthouse, this show will be definitely right up your street.
Have only watched Ep. 1 so far, but felt compelled to complain how shocking the camera work is in this show. Beggers belief what the director was smoking, but some of the shots are truly migraine inducing. Poor poor production.
Talk about a clingy third and fourth wheel who literally can't read situations. Wish those two weren't included in this drama at all as they ruined an otherwise beautiful love story.
Have you even watched Moving // Kidnapping Day // Castaway Diva?? Those are real Kdramas at their very best.
I've never watched it, nor give two hoots about the other so-called 'first iteration' from way back when - which you all seem to be talking about interminably; you just need to enjoy this new show for what it is, without any of your preconceived notions.
End of rant.
