We're all Castaway Divas
Castaway Diva weaves an extraordinary tale of resilience and the pursuit of dreams that left me emotionally invested from the very beginning.Mok Ha's narrative unfolds as a poignant journey, transcending the conventional boundaries of survival stories. From enduring the solitude of a deserted island during her formative years to re-entering a society that has drastically transformed in her absence, Mok Ha's character resonates with an authenticity that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
What struck me the most was her unwavering determination to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a singer despite the immense challenges that stood in her way. The series adeptly explores the complexities of social dynamics in the contemporary world, highlighting the stark contrasts between Mok Ha's isolated existence and the bustling, interconnected reality she faces upon her return. As she navigates this unfamiliar terrain, the show skillfully captures the essence of her struggles and triumphs, delivering a powerful narrative that tugs at the heartstrings.
Castaway Diva is not merely a story; it's an ode to the indomitable human spirit and the boundless pursuit of passion, leaving viewers with a resonant message that dreams, no matter how deferred, can be realized with unwavering perseverance.
Really, a must watch – I laughed, I cried, and above all, I found myself deeply inspired by the journey of these castaway divas.

At first, I am hesitated to watch this first for knowing it is an another revenge drama and I watch a lot about it last year. Yet, surprisingly gagged a bit. This drama sold me and I want a season two like right now.
The story of course is another high school bullying but unexpectedly it gives a different taste for the plot is in the adulthood phase.
Oh I really like the casting here. They picked those who can deliver and can act with these type of genre. Actually, I watch this because of lee do hyun (idk I miss him in screens again anyways...) but stayed for the show.
The music is good and actually relate to the series and makes you to focus on the story more and thrilled to watch more episodes.
I am glad that I finally decided to watch this , really recommendable. Hoping the second season will be great also.

To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories

A Rollercoaster of Love and Loss
First, I would like to say sorry for I thought, more or less two years ago, that this will not be good and I'll hate it because idk season 1 is so perfect to me and I don't actually wanted a second season hence I didn't watched this while airing last year...boy I'm clearly missing out and I'm glad I had time and energy and decided to watch this... I did not write a review about season 1 so I'm writing this as an amend for doubting it. This might be long so here it is.I thought I'd seen it all in Season 1, but this second installment dives even deeper into the turbulent world of Kang Seo Joon and Han Ji Woo.
The chemistry between Seo Joon and Ji Woo is like a magnetic force that draws you in. It's not just about their differences; it's about how those differences make their connection all the more powerful. The ups and downs of their love story feel so real that you can't help but root for them, and when they're happy, you're on cloud nine with them.
But just when you think they've found their fairy tale ending, bam! Life throws a curveball, and you're left holding your breath, wondering if true love can withstand the storms of life. The suspense is killer, and every episode leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat.
The cinematography is like poetry on screen, capturing the glitz of Seo Joon's celebrity life and the quiet, intimate moments with Ji Woo. The music? Don't even get me started. It's the kind that lingers in your soul, making you feel every emotion the characters are going through.
Now, don't get me wrong; it's not all rainbows and butterflies. There are moments when you want to shout at the screen, "No, don't do that!" The plot can be a tad predictable, and yeah, there are some clichés thrown in. But here's the thing – the actors pour so much heart into their roles that you forgive the drama's flaws. You're not just watching characters; you're feeling their joy and heartbreak like it's your own.
In the end, "To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories" is a tearjerker, a heartwarmer, and a testament to the crazy, unpredictable journey that love can take you on. So, brace yourself for the emotional rollercoaster, and get ready to fall in love all over again. I might rewatch this when I'm lonely idk.

I'll make it short...
Strong Girl Namsoon had a cool premise with the mix of the different approaches of feminism, but the story went off the rails.Kang Nam Soon's search for her parents in Gangnam turns into this weird drug case involving her family, and it just feels forced.
The detective subplot is okay, but they threw in a villain, Ryu Si Oh, who's the only thing worth watching.
The writing is a mess, though.
No clear direction, and it feels like the writers lost their way.
The family dynamics are interesting, but the lackluster plot overshadows it.
Despite some cool action scenes and good performances, the show doesn't live up to its potential—just a letdown.
The series could have done better in delivering a more coherent and empowering feminist storyline.
( I'm being generous here so I gave 8 because I'll be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a bit )

A GEM!!!
When I finished watch the first episode from the day they aired.I was thinking this gonna be good, and I am right. I will not talk too much about the series because all was perfect top-notch. I just want to know that the company, actors, people behind the series and of course the fandom and the community of Gameboys was simply the best that I encounter in my entire life. It was literally a journey and full of memories in these past five months. This series just not keep us sane during this trying times but also teaches and realizes us many things, so thank you for that. Lastly, this kind of series especially, Gameboys build families and friends inside and outside from the series. This gem will be remembered forever.Shoutout to calaters. Mahal ko kayo. <3

Mind you, this is just the first part!
Death's Game is a mind-bending show that had me hooked from the start.
So, Choi Yi Jae's life is in shambles, and just when he thinks it can't get worse, Death herself shows up with a twisted game. As Choi faces death repeatedly in 12 different lives, the storyline takes unexpected turns, making you question the value of life itself. In just 4 episodes the series brilliantly explores the ripple effect of one person's choices on the lives of others.
Of course, the top-notch cast delivers performances that keep you glued to the screen,
and the cameos are a delightful addition, giving their best performances.
Death's Game is not just about survival; it's a poignant reflection on the impact we have on those around us, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for a unique blend of suspense, drama, and a touch of existential questioning.
Now Im so ready for the second part.
I might need a box of tissue.

iconic but too much
I liked the vibes. I liked the acting, the aethetics. I liked the plot.At first it was intriguing and new. But as episodeds go on the plot keeps going back in circle. Its like a slow or no progress. Thanks it has only seven episodes. If this should have been a movie then it will be perfect.
To be honest, I did not actually enjoyed as much but still I liked it.

I just love that they kept it short for we can finished it one go and infairness I enjoyed some scenes and gave some a bit entertainment for the audience. Still recommendable if you're here for the cast or idk but don't expect more. I am not sure if I will watch the second season, I'll just wait for the feedback if its good or not.

a great first season
This is a type of show that you just pick and want to enjoy and expect less. Yet, it turns out great and you're hooked and interested now.The cast is amazing of course and though some parts of the story should have been better but it was still bearable.
The music is good too! I didnt expect that it grows in me until the last episode. I dont know if its just me but the theme song or the intro song is like an anime opening and it makes you know what the show is about, an action pack and a drama meet together.
Yes, this is so recommendable but I give it 8.5 for I still looking for something, and I hope the second season will give us that.
