This was always going to be an ambitious drama production, with many CGII elements needed and a dark tone that would needed to be balanced for the majority K-drama viewing populace. That it’s initial leading lady pick had to bow out due to her poor real life behavior scandal was enough to delay everything. Now it’s back on track and tvN drama Island is slated to start filming soon for a 2022 airing. Male lead Kim Nam Gil will be paired with Lee Da Hae, and joining the leads are Cha Eun Woo as a fellow good character with Sung Joon making a splashy return after military service and hiatus to play the Big Bad. I’m plenty psyched and also think all four central leads have much to gain from stretching their performance skills in this big budget production.

Yayyy, Kim Nam Gil is back!!! I’ve really enjoyed his dramas over the last few years, The Fiery Priest was so good (Catholic priest needing anger management lessons ?).
Aa for the cast, one of those things is not like the others…..CEW acting has a long way to go before he won’t be shown up completely by Kim Nam Gil but thank goodness at least he isn’t the lead.
Yes! Excited to watch for Sung Joon. This is probably a minority opinion but the FL is such an upgrade from SYJ.
LDH is awesome! She is so good in LUCA!
Definitely going to watch this for her and KNG.
I’ve only seen lee Da Hee in search:www and I can hear your voice but man she shined so much. ? It’s so exciting so hear in a lead role and a ocn thriller at that.
Very excited for Kim Nam Gil, Lee Da Hae and Sung Joon.
I have been very excited about this since last year. I am looking forward to Cha Eunwoo’s new role. Good luck to all the cast and production team.
