What is “Island” about?

Lately, as Prime Video has been expanding to different countries and markets (including in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Phillipines in August of this year), and the global success of Korean media, from BTS to “Parasite” and “Squid Game,” Amazon Prime Video has shown an increased interest in Korean programing.

One of their first big pickups is “Island,” based on a popular webcomic of the same name, first published in 1997.

The comic, as the television show, follows Van, played by Kim nan-gil, an immortal demon hunter, as he explores his mysterious past with hotel heiress Won Mi-ho (Lee Da-hee), and teams up with a priest (Cha Eun-woo) to bring down the folkloric forces of evil that have come to occupy Jeju Island.

Curious about what happens next? There’s only one place to find out. Check out “Island” tonight on Amazon Prime Video.
