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.
Dropped

Agreed

Cheers sadly I don't have AppleTV

I found it on video on eBay and I'm rewatching it reet now. This really is a quite astounding bit of TV,.
Dated? yeah! Bit schmaltzy? yeah! Crushingly sad? Oh my goodness me YES! Crammed full of heart warming marvelousness? Indeed YES!
Absobloodylutely worth watching? Yes I cannot recommend it enough.
the K version is perhaps the most polished and accessible but this is the classic on which they are all based. No celebs, no handsome heroes, no serial killers just people.

Not that I can think of straight away. It's not particularly popular in dramaland and the few that spring to mind (that I can't remember the names of) are quite heavy usually about the person from the less popular Asian country being treated poorly

Not really no

Tried it again whilst ironing and again it's like saccharine candy floss - sweet fluffy and with no actual calorific value whatsoever.

Excellently shot but not enough substance and too much violence porn for me to finish.

Mmm not sure what this was really trying to say but lost interest in figuring it out well before half way

I tried but it's just ridiculous violence for far too much of it. The C96 using suppressed gunshot sounds when it clearly wasn't was giggletastic, indeed that whole 'action' sequence was laughably poor. I'm not a splatter fan and I like my action vaguely believable or is convincing the right term?

Not my bag which is a shame as I did want to watch Lee Ho Jung in something different.
Thanks for taking the time to try and persuade me.

I shall endeavour to do so just for you

But then I have to listen to the awful sound effects. All those crunchy, hacky, squirty noises quite put me off my tea.
