I'm extremely skeptical about the premise and have reservations about the production team, but that cast is irresistible and I would probably watch if they were doing nothing but laying bricks all day.
Also, I want to live on Dessert Island forever!

Desert Island Diva The story sounds very original and weird but I'm totally in because of the main actors - Park Eun-bin and Chae Jong-hyeop!
See You in My 19th Life Surprisly, I was not convinced by Shin Hye-sun in the different the teasers and pictures. I usually love her, so I hope it will be good. The Romeo and Juliet scene is still iconic, I wonder if they added Deseree song too :p
Celebrity I'm really curious about this story and this genre. I love the casting, so I will definitely watch it.

Me when I saw the still for 2 : "Is that Lee Bo-young?" I guess I was too impatient to read the texts attached to the photo.
I thought 1 was slated for 2024, or was it another Park Eun-bin project...
I've been burnt by both the writer and director attached to Diva so I'm praying they do not mess up this one.
And then there's Park Eun-bin, and Kim Joo-hun, and Cha Hak-yeon :)
Kim Shin-rok in Shadow Detective 🤣🤣🤣. As if the drama isn't any dark and crazy enough. Please pit her against Lee Sung-min. Let the headache from Reborn Rich continue.
After watching Jung Jin-young in MPITC, I won't be shocked if he's joining here in villain category, although I'm praying I'm wrong.
The still for 5 continue to hold me in.
6. Lee Chung-ah 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭. As a big baddie, sign me in once again. I'm sorry but I'm already on the side of evil :)

1. My god, what an ensemble. Definitely liking the supporting cast, but it’s still the leads who hold my attention. Park Eun-bin and Chae Jong-hyeop is such an inspired combination of actors; the casting directors deserves all their flowers - and probably a hefty raise.
2. Lee Bo-young, YAY!! She’s been in a very successful drama recently, but since I didn’t tune in, it feels like I haven’t seen her in forever and I miss her terribly.
3. I feel like this show should get a boost in popularity due to Lee Sung-min in a post-Reborn Rich world, but it’s Disney+ again so nobody cares.
4. Pretty posters, pretty faces. I do hope this gives ENA their first hit after Attorney Woo. It’s got the star power and the thriller elements for a surefire hit.
5. The women in this drama: incredible; stunning; gorgeous; perfect. The men in this drama: eh.

I almost missed Shadow Detective. Love Lee Sung-min. I'm watching the 1st season now, not in the mood for romance dramas and show like this is good for multitasking.
