In a recentSouth Morning China Postreport, actressPark Eun-binis currently in talks to star in a romantic comedy K-Drama series titledDiva of the Deserted Island(working title). So far, what we know of the series is that Park Eun-bin plays the protagonist character named Mok-ha. Mok-ha is described as a 15-year-old girl who aspires to become a professional singer. However, Mok-ha’s life is literally and figuratively turned upside down when she is suddenly carried away by a gust of wind and dumped on a barren island. After being rescued from the island fifteen years later, Mok-ha, now an adult, strives to assimilate into a society from which she has grown distant. Choong-hwan is reportedly directing the series with the screenwriter credited as Park Hye-run.
Park Eun-bin is an accomplishedSouth Koreanactress who has been in many hit films and television series such asSecretly, Greatly(2013),Hello My Twenties(2016-2017),Judge vs. Judge(2017-2018),The Ghost Detective(2018) andThe King’s Affection(2021). In 2022, Eun-bin shot to fame, starring as the lovable and brilliant Woo Young-wo in the mega-hit Netflix aired seriesExtraordinary Attorney Woo. The show centered around Woo Young-wo and her life as a person with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It also followed Woo as she worked on complex cases as an attorney for a top law firm. Yoo In-shik directed the series, and Moon Ji-won penned the script.
If Park Eun-Bin accepts the role of Mok-ha,Diva of the Deserted Islandwill reportedly begin production before the second season ofExtraordinary Attorney Woobegins filming.
