The drama "Castaway Diva," which starred Park Eun Bin, just ended, and the actress said that 2023 was the hardest and best year of her acting career. "Castaway Diva" had a lot of competition at first, but Park Eun Bin's performance helped it gain viewers, and the final episode got a 9.0% rating.

The show, which is available on Netflix around the world, made it into the top 10 in 40 countries and stayed there for 4 weeks in a row in the non-English TV show category.

Park Eun Bin talked about her thoughts on the part of Seo Mok-ha, who runs away from her cruel father, has an accident, and ends up on an island by herself.

Even though she had doubts at first, she did a great job of showing how the character on the isolated island fulfilled her dream of becoming a singer.

The actress talked about the special challenges of the part, such as learning to sing, play the guitar, swim, and speak in a dialect.

She said that getting ready for "Castaway Diva" was harder than getting ready for "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."

In January, Park Eun Bin started taking voice lessons to get ready for the singing scenes. Over the course of six months, she had 43 solo lessons.

She also made nine OSTs for the show.

The actress thanked the professionals who helped her and said that she had gotten better at what she did by practicing hard.

Park Eun Bin saw Seo Mok-ha as a unique and important person in her life.

She said she wanted to be honest like Seo Mok-ha, be thankful for small things, and appreciate how precious life is.

Next, Park Eun Bin will hold a fan event called "Eunbin Note: Diva" at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul, on January 6, 2020.

The event, which is already full, will show off her improved singing skills and the whole "Castaway Diva" discography.

Park Eun Bin has been acting professionally for 28 years, starting when she was a child. In recent years, she has regularly given great performances.

"Hot Stove League" (2020), "Do You Like Brahms?" (2020), "The King's Affection" (2021), "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (2022), and "Castaway Diva" (2023) are just a few of her movies that have done well at the box office.

When Park Eun Bin talked about her work, she stressed how important it was to find meaning in projects instead of just focusing on making money.

She said that she was ready to try new things about herself in the coming year.
