Diva à Deriva

Park Eun Bin is a very talented and versatile actress. She's taken her roles to new heights and increased her singing talents in this one. I was skeptical at first but she's actually singing. Pretty crazy how talented she is. Beautiful story so far. It starts off a little disappointing but gets better as you continue to watch. Like her other dramas you might be tempted to wait until tge series is done so you can binge this one. Either way should work as viewers wont be disappointed. If Park Eun Bin is in a drama, you just have to watch it. If not to watch her acting skills in action, at least to see her light up a room with her smile. Enjoy!

It's worth the time. A memorable production is the work of the actors, guided by the director and enhanced by the cameramen, sound engineers and editors, both they and the story. And here, that's what we have. The first episode is a kind of bibimbap, a mixture of fragments, which put me to sleep. Apparently, episode 2 is just as bland... until PARK EUN BIN starts singing. To be honest, I had already given up after the first episode and a half, the time of transmission in Europe contributing to that. After the music appeared on YT, I resumed watching and discovered that what seemed boring at the beginning begins to connect starting with episode 3, scene by scene. In short, the scenario is risky as a format but brilliant in how the crescendo format attracts your interest. After only 6 episodes, although transmitted gradually, 2 episodes per week, it is already in the top 10 worldwide on Netflix, competing with fully released productions. Without being anything ultra-original, it's a good work, for which everyone deserves thanks.

Summary: We really like this show and recommend you watch. Overall an 8. Good but not great

We watched this because of Park Eun-Bin who was so great in Attorney Woo. It turned out that Chae Jong-Hyeop, from Love All Play, stared as well and we really like him too.

The Good Stuff:

• Beautiful actors
• Really good casting and acting
• Interesting story
• Most of, but not all, the serious trauma is in the beginning, but it doesn't drags the whole series down
• Some great songs for the OST
• Ms. Park - beautiful and so talented. Watch it for her smile.

The Sub-Optimal Stuff:

• Somehow the story did not draw us in and get us as emotionally vested as the best series do.

• Not enough romance between the leads. Their relationship is caring and sweet, but lacked passion. It was fine for this story, but was a bit too low key for us.

• Pointless love triangle-ish setup. Why do KDramas insist on this plot device?

• Pretty predictable story. Enjoyable, but you'll know where it is heading most of the time.

I just finished watching Castaway Diva and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was especially moved by the performances of Park Eun Bin, Cha Hak Yeon, Chae Jong Hyeop and especially Moon Woo Jin as young Jung Ki Ho. Though the show had some dark moments with vivid portrayals of child abuse, the overall theme was of resilience and hope. The actors were first rate and I was awed again by the talent of Park Eun Bin. She also has a wonderful singing voice. I would like to see her and Cha Hak Yeon in more roles as I think they are very talented actors who become immersed in their parts. I think Kdramas are getting better all the time with quality acting and wonderful and imaginative stories.

There are scenes that remind me of little mermaid. The Kdrama is beautiful and the story is new to me. You may have seen something like it, but I don't. I don't know how it is classified as a comedy .because I cried a lot . I recommend everyone to watch it, and the ost is amazing, and the acting is great. The first episode did not disappoint me at all. In fact, I liked it very much. The rest of the episodes make you feel excited, especially the end of each episode. I am looking forward to the next episodes. I wish if they would Downloading all the episodes in one day, because I can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes.
