“Castaway Diva” is a drama about a girl called Seo Mok-ha who ran away to an island to escape her violent father. After enduring 15 years alone on the island, she was discovered by Kang Bo-geol and Kang Woo-hak and return to the real world. Will she be able to adapt to the new world and achieve her dream of becoming a singer?
“Castaway Diva” became a healing drama due to the endless positive energy emitted by Park Eun-bin, who played Seo Mok-ha. Although she is thirty-one years old, she can turn into an innocent 16-year-old girl. The actress’ great singing is also a bonus. The child actress who played young Mok-ha, also has a solid acting ability and a good synchronization with Park Eun-bin, adding to the viewers’ joy of watching.
On the other hand, there seems to be some criticism towards a few parts of the drama’s storyline. For example, the characters commit a fraudulent act of lip-syncing in live broadcasts watched by the whole nation, but they don’t even feel guilty at all, which seems like the script is trying too hard to make Mok-ha’s singing journey touching.
Starting with last weekend’s episode, “Castaway Diva” entered a new phase of the storyline. Let’s wait and see if the drama can succeed in attracting more audiences.
