The show follows Seo Mok Ha, who wants to be a “diva,” but on her way to Seoul for an audition, she gets stranded on an uninhabited island due to an unfortunate accident and returns to the world after 15 years.

In the show, Moon Woo Jin plays Jeong Gi Ho, who is Mok Ha’s classmate.

Even though there has only been a few episodes, the young actor has already shown his unreal talent and maturity. Many netizens have joked that he still has the role of the young version of the traumatized male lead, but has grown with the role.
