Park Eun Bin's recent role in "Castaway Diva" has sparked mixed opinions about her acting. The drama has gained popularity not only for its captivating storyline, but also for the return of Park Eun Bin after her impressive performance in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," which earned her the prestigious Daesang award earlier this year at the Baeksang Awards.

In "Castaway Diva," Park Eun Bin portrays the character Seo Mok Ha, who is completely different from her previous role as the autistic Woo Young Woo.

With such a diverse role, Park Eun Bin seemed poised to captivate audiences once again. Seo Mok Ha is a girl who has been scarred by familial violence and stranded on a deserted island for 15 years. She returns to society at the age of 31 with dreams of starting a new life in Seoul.

However, as the drama unfolds, viewers are finding it difficult to separate Park Eun Bin's current portrayal from her previous character.

Fans were initially excited about "Castaway Diva" because they anticipated Park Eun Bin's dynamic range and expected her to bring another complex character to life. But as the drama progresses, some viewers have noticed similarities between Seo Mok Ha and Woo Young Woo, leading to discussions about whether this is an intentional acting choice or a directorial influence. From her style, expressions, to her walk, Park Eun Bin gives off the impression that she hasn't been able to fully escape her previous character.

This has resulted in divided opinions about her acting, something that she has not experienced in her career before.

In addition to the negative reactions, some viewers believe that Seo Mok Ha's difficulty in social communication, due to her time on the deserted island, is the reason behind her actions resembling those of Woo Young Woo.

Overall, Park Eun Bin's performance in "Castaway Diva" has generated mixed reviews, highlighting the challenge of separating her current role from her past success.

Only time will tell how her portrayal of Seo Mok Ha will evolve and whether she can overcome the comparisons to her previous character.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
