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:
The Sub-Optimal Stuff:
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.
This drama was a very interesting experience for me.
Was inspiring, emotional, impactful...
It will move your soul and will make you cry and smile. It will show you the darkest sides of human nature but will be hopeful and will show you the brightest ones as well.
The plots weren't all that, and were a bit lacking somehow but the drama shines through an extraordinary and uplifting script and amazing original soundtrack ( take a moment and read each of the lyrics as well).
The acting of the cast was magnificent, generally the chemistry was great, except for the main couple unfortunately, which I thought they acted more like friends than lovers.
I loved the first few episodes with the emotional and gripping backstory and the two young main leads ( it's shocking how Moon Woo Jin is growing up so much already)
Park Eun Bin owns this unique character showing the wide range of her abilities as an actress playing it and how impressive it is that she is the one actually singing all the songs in the series, what a voice, what a performance.
The acting of Chae Jong Hyeop was great and loved him in a more dramatic role for a change as well, he has the capability of acting by being quiet and just gesturing and gazing, he is such an expressive actor, can't wait what comes next.
If im not giving a higher score is because I believe the series has added too many subplots and elements to the mix that has made it a bit chaotic and didn't leave enough room for some of the main stories to be properly developed. There's a lot of potential in a few storylines that were left almost untouched and that was very frustrating.
Overall it is still a very enjoyable series to watch, with very different genres, no predictable plots or cliches, a lot of good music and a satisfying ending. So watch it, you won't regret it.

This series dropped at the time when I started working for my dream really hard and it is made by my favorite korean director. Is this a coincidence?
Like other series directed by Oh Chung Hwan, 'Castaway Diva' is more than what you see, because it has so much meaning attached to it, and that's why I like him (and the writers he collaborates with) so much.
'Castaway Diva' is not just about a singer chasing her dream, it's a dose of motivation for everyone who dreams of achieving something. Every episode is a lesson, whether it's about career, family or life in general.
Honestly, this drama opened my eyes to many things and made me continue working on my dream with even more passion and dedication.
I think 'Castaway Diva' will remain in my heart along with 'Hotel del Luna' for a very long time, that's why they're the only 10/10 series for me.
Hope everyone reading this review keep working on their dream! I'm sure it will come true one day... in an unexpected way :)

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!
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.
