Much Needed Quotes from "Castaway Diva" Drama for Worrywarts & More

I enjoy "Castaway Diva" drama. It has beautiful songs that touch my heart. Sometimes I think I love the scenes because they make me feel alive in this dull world. They remind me of the dreams and ambitions I had when I was young. Growing up, I faced harsh realities that could become a boring adult.

"Twinkling Watermelon" and this drama are my favorites right now. I think they are meant to heal our souls that have been wounded by the pandemic. I wish there were more dramas with soulful songs, scenes, and lines that make ordinary life more meaningful, instead of dramas that are full of revenge, betrayal, and violence. 

Also, I think Mokha’s experience on the island was both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, she learned how lonely and dangerous it is to be isolated, and she learned to appreciate the people who care for her. On the other hand, she was shielded from the harsh truths of the world and kept her innocence and courage. That innocence is precious, and once we lose it, we can’t get it back.
