Reaching the finale gives a perfect closure. Now, she is on the rise. A diva indeed! Then starting with the new show, ‘Welcome to Samdal -ri’ gave me a comparison. Both the female leads have dreamed big. They are in show biz.
Seo Mok ha has lived on an island & aspired to be a diva. Endowed with a wonderful voice, it was possible but luck intervened. She was cast away for 15 years on a deserted island. This time was used by her rival to make a name for herself.
Cho Sam dal is also a island resident dreaming big. She becomes an ace photographer & moves to Seoul. Never to come back to her hometown. Also slated to have an exhibition in Paris she is on cloud nine. Her personal & professional life plunges into a scandal. She comes back home to lick her wounds.
The three sisters have their own issues. One is divorced, the other has a child & now, Sam dal has a cheating boyfriend. Getting over the break up & the accusations of her mentee has taken a toll.
Seo Mok ha has her sights fixed on becoming a diva & searching for her bestie Ki ho. For 15 years she remains the same. He keeps his search on.
Just like ‘The good, bad Mother’ the leads are born on the same day. He comes back to heal. Later she comes back to her mother to stay with her kids. Another island tale of a single mother.
Ji Chang wook & Shin hye sun make an excellent pair. He is a softie & she is tough. He never wants to leave home & she wants to reach Seoul as soon as possible. Opposites attract.
