Island

I loved it, I heard about this drama a long time ago and I thought it had been cancelled, now I understand that the premiere was delayed due to the good edition it has. The main actors fit perfectly with the description of their characters. Honestly y, The priest became my favorite character from the first episode, it's funny but dark at the same time.

I have read the story and the development is going well, the exorcism scene... Guys I didn't expect it in that incredible way

I have to wait a week for two more chapters, It would be great if they shortened the days, the wait makes me nervous.

As someone not into horror, I can't believe I watched the first two episodes with no skip. I love the action and suspense. Cha Eunwoo's appearance in the first episode was iconic and now going viral for his role as Priest Yohan, like how to be a exorcised by you Father? Dahee and NamGil also had a dramatic entrance and the action was so great. I am so looking forward to the next episodes after laying the back story. Would Yohan's back story in the next?

I've waited for two years to watch Cha Eunwoo again in kdrama land. And the wait is worth it. I'm glad he did this drama. Fighting Island Squad!

The show uses a lot of borrowed fantasy elements (both literally and figuratively) from other K dramas and western shows, which will make it feel less original and familiar. The show is an adaptation of YLAB's webtoon, "The Island", so expect a comic book feel to the story and action sequences. Special effects and scenes will also seem familiar with another show produced by Studio Dragon called Alchemy of Souls.

Van, the lead male character, is an ancient demon slayer. Van's origin story reminds me of The Witcher in some ways. But he is a serial killer in the webtoon, so I'm not sure if they will work that into or out of the TV screenplay. (Trivia: Korean spoken language has no "V" sound, so why "Van", I don't know.)

As a horror genre show, it's decent enough to watch. Live-action adaptation of comic book/anime/cartoon shows are challenging, but this show should to be entertaining enough for those not familiar with the webtoon.

I Just finished watching episode 1 & 2 and I am thrilled about the story! Powerful performances on a well written scenario. Story unfolds exactly as it should, the viewers get answers gradually and o the right tempo...... I enjoyed watching, its been a long time since I found my self a good sci/ gi- horror series, apart from Supernatural, but i believe this series might just be the one! It gas everything! Plot, suspension, good performances..... The story was intriguing enough to watch, I spotted the story recently and waited for the release day anxiously! It didn't let me down.

Can't wait for the rest!

Korean Drama " Island " is the first part of the sci fi fantasy drama that is a webtoon adaption.

The drama has some intriguing characters and a gothic mood to it, with a few notions of horror and a lot of mystical plotlines.

It would have aided the drama a lot with the two main characters had more scenes together and better chemistry to justify their 'bond' and help the viewer engage and care about them.

The story, also, needed more time to have a proper development.

Nevertheless, it was enjoyable and the performances were pretty nice.

So, overall, seven stars out of ten for the first part of the series.

Korean Drama " Island Season Two " is the second part of the sci fi series with a horror undertone.

The story goes deeper into the past of the heroes and the myth that surrounds the island. The big battle finally arrives as well, with the drama focusing on the characters preparing for it.

On the plus side, the mood was there and the fantasy element was well handled.

On the other hand, the characters turned out to be cliche stereotypes, especially when it came to the reincarnation of the main lead, which was eye-rolling at some point.

The performances were enjoyable though.

So, overall, six out of ten.
