On December 3, Castaway Diva concluded with an optimistic ending filling the K-drama world with lots of hope and dreams as the protagonist of the story finally fulfilled her aspirations. Netflix dropped the final episode (episode 12) of the rom-com and inspirational drama.
The synopsis for Castaway Diva is described by Asianwiki as follows:
"Seo Mok-Ha (Park Eun-Bin) was a bright and positive young girl living on an island. Her dream was to become a singer. Pursuing her dream, she decided to attend an audition that was being held in Seoul. On her way there, she gets stranded on a deserted island. After 15 years, Seo Mok-Ha is rescued from the deserted island. She tries to adjust to an unfamiliar world, while keeping a cheerful attitude, and she still pursues her dream of becoming a diva."
Park Eun-bin played Seo Mok-ha. Chae Jong-hyeop played Kang Bo-geol (Jang Ki-ho). Cha Hak-yeon played Kang Woo-hak, and Kim Hyo-jin played Yoon Ran-joo, and several others gave life to the drama.
Castaway Diva ended with a heartwarming finale: Park Eun-bin made her long-awaited debut
Episode 8 of Castaway Diva started with everyone's concern for Sang-doo's well-being as Woo-hak rushed him to the hospital, where he lapsed into a coma. The scene transitioned to the police discovering the lifeless body of Jung Bong-wan, who had attempted to prevent Kang Bo-geol and Kang Woo-hak from inheriting their adoptive father's surname (Sang-doo).
The scene shifted to Seo Mok-ha reassuring everyone that Sang-doo would soon wake up, marry Song Ha-jung and give the Lee surname to his sons. In the hospital room, assured by comforting words, Sang-doo recovered and decided to live a meaningful life.
Both Bo-geol and Woo-hak got back their jobs and received the Lee surname while their parents prepared for their salon's launch.
Unaware that the brothers had regained their employment, Mok-ha diligently worked at a construction site to support her family while dedicating time to her singing practice.
The president replaced Mok-ha's song with Mo-rae's, compelling Ran-joo to confront him. During their exchange, she realized the president's idea (swiping the song would raise the duo to stardom).
Despite their resentment towards the president's decisions both Mo-rae and Mok-ha listened to their assigned songs and decided to make their debut with them.
The scene changed to Mok-ha sharing dinner with Woo-hak, where she finally learned about the brothers' employment. She also revealed Bo-geol's gift of an apartment and handed Woo-hak money, where she insisted on paying for it.
Woo-hak encouraged Bo-geol to confess his feelings to Mok-ha, detailing his actions, including cleaning the deserted island for fifteen years and waiting for her daily at Seoul Station. This revelation helped Mok-ha realize Bo-geol's unwavering love for her.
The scene shifted to the parents welcoming guests to their new salon's grand opening ceremony where Mok-ha also countered the earlier hostility from the guests in Castaway Diva.
Mok-ha and Bo-geol shared a heartfelt moment as he read her diary, and she confessed that she had always been aware of his efforts to find her later in the evening.
Mok-ha made her long-awaited debut and secured a new gig where she performed her song "Fly Away" for the very first time. The supporters, including Ran-joo, Woo-hak and Bo-geol, distributed blue balloons to the stadium audience, creating support as she sang in Castaway Diva.
The scene changed to Mok-ha performing at a larger stadium while Bo-geol managed the camera angles backstage.
Mok-ha achieved her dream of becoming a successful singer after years of longing and perseverance in Castaway Diva.
Castaway Diva ended with the family enjoying a cheerful breakfast together as Mok-ha enthusiastically took photos of everyone.
The scene also showcased a series of images depicting the improved lives of all the characters in the drama.
Will there be a season 2 for Castaway Diva?
The drama ended on an optimistic note without leaving any room for ambiguity. Castaway Diva is unlikely to return for a second season. The tvN has yet to release an official statement regarding the renewal of the drama.
The drama, consisting of 12 episodes, is available to stream on Netflix.
