Yes really enjoyed that one - good enough I didn't really notice the plot holes. Possibly my favourite of the year too

I still haven't gone back to it - I kept meaning to pop in and let you know I was struggling. The young leads still intrigue me but the rest really doesn't appeal. I occasionally hover over Play.... and then go and do something else.

I've only managed to complete three of these so far - 2023 has been dreadful for me

Sometimes the Romance becomes the plotline and it's really hard to keep things interesting for hours when that's the main hook. Sausage and mash are OK but really they aren't anything special without gravy (and maybe a touch of mustard).

So gentle and innocuous I forgot I was watching it and went and did something else.

I would recommend not bothering with season 2. All the fun and humour of season 1 is replaced by the usually tedious misunderstandings and nonsense. Season 1 I have watched a few times and it still makes me laugh out loud - I have never managed more than half a dozen episodes of the second.
Seven Tan in a face mask is still a highlight.

ML is more than a little creepy, stalkertastic.

Dreadful puerile pap, my brain melted halfway through the first episode, obvs not for grumpy old gits who don't appreciate it's finer points.

Lots of good points coming through on the Castaway Diva as metaphor which is clever.
Still not really bothered about the characters though. Can't quite get the hang of the FL character and the MLs do nothing for me at all. I'm afraid the lack of interest in the leads sort of looses my interest in who is Kiho I mean creepy nerd one or bit mean boring one?

I find the music a little mainstream for my tastes but that's the same same for nearly all dramas
Still the actors are good so there is time yet they might pull it out of the hat.

Yes I can totally see that - very good.

Excellent meander down the river

I feel like the 'castaway' part is a bit wasted , like it's just there to move the plot along you can hang just about anything on it. Which is a shame really.
The acting is good but I'm finding it hard to care about any of them.

Nice little Movie - nothing new (if you read Manga that is) but quite well put together. The acting is a little amateur and it all feels a little rushed.

Sadly too much of a 'mature' J drama for me

The second-hand embarrassment factor in this is strong. As with the comment below I'm finding it increasingly difficult to root for the leads neither of them come over as likeable.

Thanks for that - I think I'll avoid this one.

Your review was helpful - helped me to drop it early!

Thoroughly enjoyable romp, don't pay too much attention to the details just enjoy the show.

Childish more than quirky for me, just not grabbing me at all. Lee You Mi is the stand out from the first few episodes but she's not enough.
