Instead of taking her body, Miho and Yohan tried to save Soo-ryun, who wished to avenge her boyfriend, but got trapped in a forest created by Benjullae. At the moment when Ban sensed an unusual energy along with the trembling of the Vajrapani, Gungtan (Sung Joon), who was raised with Ban as a half-person, half-monster, appeared and caught her attention. Gungtan, who disappeared behind Geumgangjin, had a tense battle of nerves with Ban, raising expectations for the story to unfold in the future.
Filled with a desire for revenge, Soo-ryun controlled Benjullae, a grotesque tree-like figure, and immobilized Ban, Miho, and Yohan. Soon after, Benjullae slowly eroded his practice into his body, giving goosebumps to the viewers. At that moment, an unbelievable sight unfolded from the scar on Miho’s chest, making her unable to take her eyes off it. Kim Nam-gil caught the eye at once by taking the culmination of action acting from spectacular pursuits to high altitudes and sword martial arts. Cha Eun-woo also left a strong impact by showing off not only the appearance of a holy exorcist, but also a splendid action that exudes holy power.
John constantly provoked Ban by revealing the atrocities he had seen in the prophetic book. Ban, who was in a helpless state, tried to put on a relaxed expression, but he fell into Yohan’s trick and was in a desperate crisis. Miho, who happened to be looking for Ban, found Ban and Yohan in an extreme confrontation, and presented a shocking reversal by overlapping fragments of the past with Ban gradually turning into a chaste.
‘Island’ captivated drama fans at once with its unstoppable story development. Director Bae Jong realized the action scene, the highlight of the original work, on an overwhelming scale. Kim Nam-gil and Cha Eun-woo raised the charm of a fantasy action drama to the maximum with action that transcends imagination in the breathtaking struggle of chasing and being chased. Lee Da-hee, who portrays the story of Miho from her previous life in various ways, exploded her unprecedented girl-crush charm and sniped the taste of her fans properly.
