Meet the cast in character posters for Castaway Diva

by Jenzy

Character posters are out for the cast of tvN’s rom-com Castaway Diva, and not only are they (1) gorgeous, they also (2) give us more info on the people that will be propelling Park Eun-bin (Extraordinary Attorney Woo) to singer stardom.

The story is centered around our main character, the island girl Seo Mok-ha (Park Eun-bin). She’s wanted to be a singer ever since she was young, but an attempt to travel for an audition when she was in middle school left her stranded on a deserted island for 15 years. Thankfully, she’s a plucky gal, and after years of Swiss Family Robinson-ing a life for herself, she eventually ends up being rescued and brought back to civilization. And despite being a complete fish-out-of-water in modern Seoul, Mok-ha is ready to dive in and press play on her dreams to grace the stage.

She starts by meeting her longtime role model, singer Yoo Ran-joo — played by Kim Hyo-jin (The Good Detective 2). While her voice on a cassette tape inspired Mok-ha many years ago, Ran-joo is far from her glory days, having faded into obscurity. However, Mok-ha’s story moves her enough to not only take her in under her roof, but also under her wing as a mentor figure. With Mok-ha’s optimism and Ran-joo’s knowledge of showbiz, the two are ready to take on whatever obstacle comes in the way of realizing their dreams.

They’ll also have assistance from some helpful men along the way. On one hand we have the pair of brothers, consisting of the serious variety show PD Kang Bo-geol — played by Chae Jong-hyeop (Unlock the Boss) — and the determined news reporter Kang Woo-hak — played by Cha Hak-yeon (Joseon Attorney: A Morality). With their connections in the industry, they’ll each assist Mok-ha in their own way (and fall in love with the same girl in the process? Yikes!).

On the other hand, we have the uber-competent CEO of Ran-joo’s management company, Lee Seo-jun — played by Kim Joo-heon (Romantic Doctor Kim 3). While the three men are initially skeptical of Mok-ha and Ran-joo’s dreams, they’ll eventually come around and become their biggest supporters in the process.

A collaboration between writer Park Hye-ryun and director Oh Chun-hwan (of While You Were Sleeping and Start Up success), along with writer Eun-yeol, Castaway Diva will premiere on October 28.

Bonus material: Netflix will be streaming the series and has released a full trailer for their platform (see below), while tvN has just dropped an extremely long highlight reel so you can watch the drama without actually having watched it yet. Enjoy!
