Kim Hyo Jin strikes a stark transformation as a formerly famous star in Castaway Diva.
Castaway Diva narrates the story of Mok-ha, a woman who dreams of becoming a diva but gets stranded on an uninhabited island.
Backed up by Baram Pictures and Kakao Entertainment, the series also boasts a brilliant creative team. Leading the production is Director Oh Choong Hwan of Big Mouth and Hotel Del Luna fame. Penning the script is Park Hye Ryun who wrote heartwarming and inspiring dramas such as Dream High and Pinocchio.
Director Oh and Writer Park previously worked on hit dramas Start-Up and While You Were Sleeping.
Kim Hyo Jin portrays once-popular diva Yoon Ran-joo
In Castaway Diva, Kim Hyo Jin plays the role of Yoon Ran-joo, a diva loved by Seo Mok-ha and a former top star. Ran-joo once attracted the attention of many people with her beauty, skills, and stardom, but she is now a singer whose popularity has faded to the point where she can barely even attend local events.
Her mentality, which in the past never lost even in fierce battles with the director of a broadcasting station and the representative of an entertainment company, has now become weak, shaking like a wind lamp at the word of a landlord who demands rent.
The released photo shows Yoon Ran-joo’s current appearance in stark contrast to her heyday when the spotlight was on her, making people curious about what happened.
One day, Seo Mok-ha, a fan who was thought to be extinct, appears in front of Yoon Ran-joo, who has been sinking due to fear of failure, and a new wave hits her quiet daily life.
In particular, as the strong romance between the two was previously announced through the second teaser video, attention is being paid to whether Yoon Ran-joo, who held the hand of passionate fan Seo Mok-ha, will be able to reach her peak once again.
The story of Ran-joo, who seeks to change the genre of her life, will be deepened by actress Kim Hyo Jin’s unrivaled charisma. Accordingly, look forward to how she breathes life into Ran-joo, who will send heart-warming cheers to everyone who dreams of going back to the glorious times.
Castaway Diva premieres on October 28. International fans can watch it on Netflix.
