Island is a must see!
Wonderful series!I like the plot of the story and the acting of the
cast is on point with the characters they're
portraying. Special mention goes to Cha
Eunwoo as Father Giovanni/ Yohan for making
his role more interesting and multi-faceted in a
way that viewers would want to see him peel
off the different layers of his character. Can't
wait to see what's next on this riveting k-
drama action/ horror series.
Love it! Will definitely watch it again!

Enjoyable Overall, but Carried by Cha Eun Woo
Overall, I enjoyed it. I binged it pretty quickly. I think the story was refreshing in its theme; it’s cool to see a sort of Catholic horror theme/demonology in a Korean drama. I will say that for me personally, Cha Eun Woo as a priest carried the show for me. Everyone did an excellent acting job, but I don’t think I would’ve stuck with this without him. Other than Father Johan, the villain Goong Tan was a surprising favorite of mine. He is indisputably cruel but also magnetically attractive lol. The effects were a little corny in parts (mostly the demon’s makeup in my opinion), and the story’s pacing was slow in parts as well. The story’s mysteries were enough to carry me through though, and there was certainly enough action and drama that I was never bored for too long. The variety of the drama too gave the pacing a good feel as well, even when it lagged a bit. I like how there are only the merest whiffs of romance, at best, so far. It is a little frustrating that they split this season into two parts (and then are calling it seasons 1 and 2), but fortunately I discovered the show two days before the airing of Season 2. I look forward to it!Was this review helpful to you?
Okay, as an opening part
So I saw many bad reviews, but I waited for this drama for so so long, so I went with a clear mindset, and to be honest, I enjoyed it.It's not as great as I thought it will be, looking at the cast, plot, and all. But it was okay. I think it's more of an opening to a story, than, a drama itself. The music was amazing, the cinematography was nice to look at, the acting wasn't bad, not the best, but I have nothing to complain about. The fights reminded me more of anime ones, they look interesting. I didn't like the characterization of the demons, it looked so fake, they weren't scary, just funny.
But I still give it an 8 because I know there will be season 2, so as for the introduction I enjoyed it.
Don't look at the bad revies and just go watch it, and check for yourself.

Vatican might be shocked
Priest this handsome wearing earrings and love k-Pop and K-drama who can fight demons aside from performing exorcism at a very young age surely have a charming twist for the character. Just from this it is telling the audience it is a fantasy series so don’t get hung up with the religious aspect details.There’s 6 episodes for this season and it’s jammed packed minus the awakening of female lead’s power.
Given that there some scenes that they spent too much time on, it is still unbelievable how creative the Director of this series to be able to provide all important details in the first short season.
Artists casts harmoniously brought life to the characters.
Production is good but could be better: wardrobe obviously didn’t synch in one scene timeline but other than that it was good.
Will look forward to next season that will clarify the lead females core role.

Recommended drama
Recommended drama!Even the genre is horror, but this drama is great to be watched. Not as scary as "annabel" movie .
There are some funny scenes. The story is exciting but not too complicated. The cinematography is good. We can enjoy jeju island (actually this drama make me want to visit Jeju Island ).
The acting of all casts are great, include the children cast. Their acting are so natural. I really enjoy their acting.
it would be good if they just got all the episodes out right away
Cant wait for next episodes. I hope they will make longer duration and add more episodes, at least there is special episode.

What more can you ask for?
I strongly recommend people to watch Island. It has everything a drama enthusiast is looking for. The story is great. The cast is superb. The cinematography is amazing. The special effects are world-class. The music is thrilling. Even the OBB is captivating! Really, you can't ask for more!Do you want drama? Drama is in the bag in future episodes.
Suspense? Horror? It will make you hold on to your seat, but worry less, it is not so gross if that isn't your cup of tea.
Comedy? The 3 lead actors KNG, LDH and CEW are showing their comedic bones. The banter between Kim Nam-gil and Lee Da-hee will make you smile. And the youngest hip exorcist priest Father Yohan played by Cha Eun-woo will make you want to be exorcised too. His character here is soon different from the tsundere characters he had before.
I am very much looking forward to future episodes.

Worth watching!
Interesting plot, respectable CGI, nice chemistry among the actors/characters, and great acting with special mention to hip exorcist Priest Yohan played by Cha Eunwoo. Looking forward to the next episodes, to see more of Priest Yohan especially, with his light and amusing scenes where we would get to know his bright side, drama scenes where we would find out his character's dark background, and of course the action-packed moments including more exorcism scenes perhaps. His interaction with the other characters, like Van, Miho and perhaps Gungtan, will also be interesting to see. So excited for the next episodes is an understatement.Was this review helpful to you?
Watched for Lee Da Hee
Lee Da Hee and Kim Nam Gil are great actors, KNG especially. Watched this because I was bored and the synopsis sounded interesting.Story
Nothing great or amazing. Entertaining enough but even at episode 4, I feel like I still have many questions. I think this one is more about the action................ though it's not super action-packed either. Meh.
Acting
As mentioned LDH and KNG are there haha. Side characters are familiar faces soooo great. I have to say though, Cha Eun Woo's acting improved HAHA. At least he's showing more natural expressions........
Music
I like the intro! OSTs are appropriate.
Rewatch value
nah idts. I don't see myself rewatching this.

Take out Cha Eun Woo please.....awkward acting....
Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hee and Sung Joon are amazing.I just want to see more of Kim Nam Gil for every episode. He is beyond charismatic and awesome. He is the real actor with real substance. Having Cha Eun Woo around is like so annoying. I mean do we really need his character? I believe if his part is completely scrapped off, the whole drama would still function well. I get it. The director need his face to boost ratings.
If not for Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hee and Sung Joon, i won't even watch it. Having a priest in this fantasy show is just OFF. Thankfully i can fast forward all Cha Eun Woo's part.

Review Fr/Eng below ?
Bon... J'ai lu un peu les commentaires APRES avoir fini les 6 épisodes. Je peux comprendre certains point de vue, l'histoire n'a rien d'originale, pour ceux qui ont vu Bulgasal, on reconnait l'inspiration. Je n'ai pas trouvé ça mauvais, parce qu'il ya trop peu de réponses à la fin de la partie 1 ( en même temps pourquoi 2 parties ?). Les jeux d'acteurs sont plutôt bons. J'espère que le personnage de Van va s'ouvrir un peu plus, et que au contraire le personnage de Johan va s'assombrir. Les réactions de Van sont plutôt prévisibles, c'est mon point neg.Le fx est bien, j'aime beaucoup le générique de début, le combo musique-fx-mood.
Pour ma part j'ai accroché, pour la partie 2 je suis curieuse de savoir ce qu'ils vont en faire !
Well... I read a few comments AFTER having finished the 6 ep. I can understand some POV, the story is not original, for those who have seen Bulgasal, we recognize the inspiration. But i didn't find it bad, because there are too few answers at the end of season 1 ( btw why in 2 parts?). The acting is pretty good. I hope that the character of Van will open up a little more, and the character of Johan will darken. Neg point = Van's reactions are predictables.
The fx is good, I really like the opening credits, the music-fx-mood combo : Noice !
For me... I am curious to know what they will do with the second part !

Nel nome del Padre, del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo
Uma história interessante, um pouco parecida com alguns outros dramas, mas conseguiram mostrar de uma forma nova. A personagem feminina é maravilhosa, o meio demônio Van conseguiu me conquistar mesmo ele sendo daquele jeito, e o padre Johan que sem dúvidas ganhou meu coração. Cha Eun Woo me surpreendeu, mostrou que não tem apenas um rostinho bonito mas atua super bem. Esperando ansiosa para a parte 2.Was this review helpful to you?
