Castaway Diva

I like the premise. It is unusual and unique, something missing from Korean Dramas/Comedies over the past 5-7 years. Everything seems copy-paste.

But this one has an interesting twist. HOWEVER, the continued reliance on parental violence towards children to either start a story, or fill in background during flashbacks, is also stale and a bit repulsive. It is getting to the point that you can't have a show without a lead or two being damaged in childhood. In this show, the leads are SERIOUSLY damaged.

And this takes away from the emotional value of her getting stranded on an island. Why? Well, think about how it would tug at the heart strings to see a loving family grieving, left behind, and their struggles going forward. Instead, you are practically THANKFUL that she ends up on that island. And I don't think that is the emotion the writers were looking for.

Hopefully, future episodes play it less heavy, less abusive, and more on an underdog story. Rather than an abusive origin story.
