First of, being top 10 in 26 countries is a big thing, not "some countries". Also the top paying in tving. It does not have rating because it airs in a channel which has a small viewership due to being a paid channel plus airing on amazon as well so people preferred to watch it on amazon. It has consistently been number 2 most watched show right below jinny's kitchen and topping charts in thailand, china, Ireland, indonesia, singapore and various other countries. It has also been top 1 in paying subs for tving for 3 weeks straight. I dont know why you think asian market is less important than western market but calling it a "flop" because of that is funny. It has had an impact and in general is being praised. Go look at the official twitter accounts of prime video from various countries. They have all posted it. Even studio dragon has repeatedly posted clips despite it having finished airing. It has been pretty successful on tving as well. You don't need to deny facts that severely simply because you think it was a flop
Very little chance as the ratings wasn't very good.
"Last week, "Island" became the first Korean content to land on Amazon's TV Shows Top 10 list. The ninth spot and the two consecutive weeks on the list mark another record for the Tving original." This is according to an article published in korean joongang daily. Korean herald also reported something similar.
Same, i know for a fact that if they create another season and make johan the central character, i won't be able…
I think van is definitely still alive, they made it kinda obvious. Like the dagger shaking. Several people here say that it shakes only when it detects evil. But im not so convinced of that. It detects evil yes, but it has a master. And it is letting that master know of the evil. Without van, why would it shake? Who is it informing? We were shown a scene from the past of both van and gungtan taming their daggers. That was their first test in showing that they were ready. The dagger isnt just a weapon. It recognised the lust demon within them and responded to that. So if van was truly gone, why would the dagger alert anyone about evil when the master that commands it is gone?
Secondly why would mi ho think about the possibility of him coming back if he was well and truly gone? Some people have argued that when gungtan was sealed below ground, he didn't disappear the way van and him did in the finale episode. But my point is that wongjeong hadnt succeeded in creating the barrier, she had only blasted gungtan away and granny had created a temporary seal. Mi ho was the one who actually created the barrier. No-one had ever said that van would die once the marble fragments united. All that was said was that he'd lose his humanity and be sealed underground. And that is what I think happened. Van and gungtan have been sealed in the void and with the seal broken, the dagger is reacting to its master's return. The barrier shook only when the barrier broke, not when yeom ji became possessed. If it were truly detecting evil, it would have shaken then.
That's my take on the ending. The makers can definitely bring van back and create another season. This is the world of make believe. Nothing is set in stone and loopholes can be created. I hope they consider all of this if they make another season
Very little chance as the ratings wasn't very good.
You really need to stop misguiding people about ratings. Go read what the Korean herald has to say about the show. It was airing on amazon prime and topped the most watched list in 17 countries. The show is a hit despite not getting much promotion
I mainly watched it and hung on to the series for Kim Nam Gil. The first 4 episodes of part 2 were great however,…
Same, i know for a fact that if they create another season and make johan the central character, i won't be able to watch it. Lets hope kim nam gil comes back as van.
They probably wanted to leave the door open for the possibility of more seasons.But since this series did not…
The ratings are good though? It topped amazon prime in viewership in several countries. 26 countries i believe Where did you read that it didn't do well in ratings?
Well that was disappointing....Why can't they just follow the webtoon. Webtoon Van was a whole other experience.…
I know right? I mean it's one thing to tweak the storyline, but another thing to complete off a character that is alive in the webtoon... Anyway please sign this petition and hopefully we'll get another season with kim nam gil reprising his role: https://chng.it/hFCJBqyTdr
YLAB is planning their multiverse. Miho and Van are first set of superheroes. We may see multiple collabs but…
Isn't the multiverse thing going to be anime as opposed to live action? If they do take that route and rope in kim nam gil, it could be the korean avengers. A pretty ambitious venture but could be the next big thing for korea
I think they are making an anime as part of this universe. Terror man is the name i think. But for another season of island, we will have to wait and see.
I saw people on instagram and twitter making a lot of noise for another season. Literally all comments under tving and studio dragon's posts are about another season. Lets see whether they green light it. Plus according to the korean herald, island topped amazon prime in 17 countries so that's a good thing as well. Kim nam gil has the rights to the webtoon (his company i mean), he can go for it. And if they are thinking of making yohan the main character and ending van's character, that won't work since people came for the trio and most importantly, for van. The show would not be a hit without kim nam gil and his acting
..... They revive Van.However, Van was tired and he wished for rest.So... urg... No, thanks....Seriously, what's…
Johan isn't half demon. If he were, he wouldn't be able to touch the objects he uses. He's got powers and probably had them for some time now. He's a special excorcism priest which probably means he was trained to harness the powers he has. Plus his power is blue, not red like that of the lust demons. Mi ho defended herself pretty well against the monsters but thing is, Mi Ho's power was never going to be more than creating a barrier and blasting demons away when they get too close occasionally. She was never called a demon hunter. She was just a vessel with a special marble that lent her power to create a barrier. But if they make another season, they can show more. Like mi ho asking butler chang to train her to fight evil and then she can help van overcome his lust demon.
Gungtan was brought back because van kills lust demons and the white robes need the lust demons. And they needed gungtan to destory granny's children i.e the statues protecting the island. The man that yeom ji met when she was young had said that they will need her to bring the darkness back. That all the ones she cares for shall have to be brought back. She cared for both gungtan and van so they will be a part of the darkness that comes back. Gungtan could not overcome his lust demon but van always had more control over it even without the marble piece The barrier mi ho created didn't kill van and gungtan. It was already stated that the reason why wongjeong had hesitated to create the barrier was because both van and gungtan had been in full lust demon form. But the marble fragment had turned van human, preventing him from being sucked into the void. However the second time around, both were in lust demon form which resulted in both getting sucked into the void. Now that the barrier has been cracked, they will most probably come back. Now whether they are lust demons fully or partially remains to be seen.
the ending gave me jope of Island 3 lol :D I liked it, idk why some ppl didnt like it. Maybe its just not their…
The comments everywhere else are generally positive. MDL isnt very reliable when it comes to reviews. I feel like a majority of the watchers commenting here aren't really a huge fan of fantasy but i could be wrong. Most of the things were explained. And as long as they make another season, hopefully the rest will be too. In hellbound literally nothing was explained but people still liked it because the ending promised another season and then boom a few months later we are surprised with news of another season

Sign this petition to see the show renewed for another season. It may not do much, but atleast we would have tried to raise our voice

But for another season of island, we will have to wait and see.
