The Soon To Be Diva Is Outside The Fish Tank!


I knew this Drama would be a good to watch in Autumn and will be a priority on my list in the weeks ahead.
I watched many of the cast in multiple Dramas. I love Park Eun Bin in Extra Ordinary Attorney Woo and love
Chae Jong Hyeop perfomance in Unlock My Boss so I know this series will be a great watch in the coming
weeks ahead.

While watching episode 1 I did not know what to expect as there was not much in the synopsis. It started
with the female lead playing Seo Mok Ha and her friends in school, she wanted to use her phone but
did not charge it and went around asking everyone if they use the same phone as hers so she could use
their battery. After searching she later found out her class mate Jung Ki Ho has the same phone and she
asked him to lend his battery so she could make a phone call but he needed money, she pleaded until he gave
her the use of the phone battery. Only to find out Seo Mok Ha called to sing for her favorite pop star
Yoon Ran Joo. Seo Mok Ha was so star struck and was so happy that she could die lol. When Jung Ki Ho
heard what she said, he took the phone and ended the call and took back his battery because she said she
could just die hahaha.

There was a competition and Seo Mok Ha wanted to make a video to sumbit to Yoon Ran Joo and another
classmate recommended Jung Ki Ho that he does great videos with great editing skills so she went to asked
him, but this was not for free. Before the making of the video the story went from light and refreshing to
child abuse as we see Jung Ki Ho's dad beating him as he found out his son was working and he beat him
as he thought he was planning to run away like his mother. Jung Ki Ho was saving up for sure, he hustled
from the students for bike rides or using his phone. He was quick to make Seo Mok Ha video.

After the video was made, Seo Mok Ha's dad was also abusive and beat her, broke her guitar and trashed her
room. She called the police but nothing came of it because the police officer is Jung Ki Ho's dad that is also
abusive. Later that same day Jung Ki Ho went to pass on the video file to Seo Mok Ha but she lost hope after
what happened with her dad. Jung Ki Ho took the matter in his own hand and submitted the video for Seo
Mok Ha. She won 1st place but also had no hope of going to Seoul for to meet with the Agency.

Jung Ki Ho told Seo Mok ha if her dad try to hit her again, she must come to him and he gave her a
MAP TO HIS HOUSE with instruction how to find his bedroom window. she escaped and found him and they
took off to go to Seoul. Jung Ki Ho called back the Agency and set up a meeting date and time as it was his phone
number he gave for them to call Seo Mok Ha as her dad broke her phone. They are on a Island so would need to
travel on a ferry to get to Seoul. While they waited, Jung Ki Ho friend and his dad saw them and told Seo Mok Ha's
dad his daughter was at the dock and he showed up there.

Jung Ki Ho planned to go to Seoul with Seo Mok Ha but he told her to go alone and gave her his phone, back pack
and all his money he saved up. He tried to stop Seo Mok Ha's dad from going on the Ferry but he beat up the kid
and went on the Ferry. Seo Mok Ha tried to get away but it lead to her falling in the sea and her dad fell in after her.
She appeared on another Island and stock there for 15 yrs and that's how Seo Mok Ha became a "Cast Away Diva".
The story looks and feel promising like it will be a very enjoyable story as the beginning has a very strong back story.

The youth actors did a great job in story telling and they gave their all in it. I felt the emotions from the abusive
scenes and after Kung Ki Ho learnt that Seo Mok Ha was lost at Sea. Its refreshing to watch and I look forward to
watching the entire series. I start with a firm 10 ratings as everything was flawless.

Update_ after watching Ep2 the big question is, did Jung Ki Ho change his name to Kang Woo Hak.
Seo Mok Ha was discovered by Kang Woo Hak after he followed his brother Kang Bo Geol to clean
up waste from one of the island which was not on the search list the past 15 years.
Upate_ Currently on Ep6 as it airs and the Writer is having fun with these episodes betwen Ep2-6
with guessing who is Kiho? It could be can be any of the brothers. The evidence lean to Bogeol is Kiho
but also some times Woo Hak has traits of KiHo but he lost his memory and can't remember anything prior
to high school. Only Bogeol and his mom knows the truth about Kiho's identity.
