Park Eun-bin, Chae Jong-hyeop, full-fledged romance

In the currently airing tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Diva of the Desert Island', the relationship between Seo Mok-ha (played by Park Eun-bin) and Kang Bo-geol (played by Chae Jong-hyeop) is deepening as they go through numerous twists and turns. Viewers are also falling in love with the relationship between the two people, who eventually meet after constantly looking for each other.
A long time ago, Seo Mok-ha (played by Lee Re) and Jeong Ki-ho (played by Moon Woo-jin), who attended the same middle school in Chunsam Island, became close as they shared the same pain of domestic violence. Jeong Ki-ho, who was looking for an opportunity to escape from his father's clutches, tried to leave Chunsamdo as soon as Seo Mok-ha was given the opportunity to go up to Seoul. The escape attempt failed and Seo Mok-ha became trapped on an uninhabited island, but each other's presence was firmly established in the two children's hearts.
The first thing Seo Mok-ha did after leaving the deserted island at the age of 31 was to find his missing friend Jeong Ki-ho. It was not easy to meet Jeong Ki-ho, who disappeared to avoid his father Jeong Bong-wan (played by Lee Seung-jun), but Seo Mok-ha had a dream that he would be able to meet him again. As if responding to this, Jeong Ki-ho was staying by Seo Mok-ha's side under the name 'Kang Bo-geol'. Although he couldn't say "Thank you for being alive," Kang Bo-geol said something similar to Jeong Ki-ho and hinted at his identity.
Seo Mok-ha, who finally learned Kang Bo-geol's real name, decided to give up her dream of becoming a singer to protect him from Jeong Bong-wan's threats. Kang Bo-geol, who was comforting the anxious Seo Mok-ha, calmed her down by persuading her to 'become a famous singer', just like the promise she made on the boat to Seoul. Next, Kang Bo-geol began to express all of his feelings towards Seo Mok-ha, saying that the feelings from 15 years ago are still valid. With the outspoken confession, excitement began to bloom in Seo Mok-ha's heart, predicting that a romantic mood would flow between the two.
In particular, just as Kang Bo-geol saved Seo Mok-ha from the swamp of secrets, Seo Mok-ha served as a sedative to calm Kang Bo-geol's mind from his dangerous imagination. I am curious to see how the relationship between these people, who are still each other's salvation despite being apart for a long time, will develop in the future.
