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.
