Castaway on the Moon

The story begins with protagonist Kim (Jae-yeong Jeong) deciding to hurl himself into the Han River, because he can no longer bear the crushing weight of his growing debt. Starting the story off with a suicide attempt is a pretty bold move, given that the movie can ultimately be billed as a romantic comedy, but the heavy lack of comedy at the movie's beginning proves to be a rather brilliant setup for the fun that lies ahead. In the very next scene, Kim awakes on an island, having drifted ashore as a result of his failed suicide attempt.

Here, the movie embarks on its own take on the deserted island narrative, but as we quickly discover, Kim is actually stuck right in the middle of the Han River. As he surveys his surroundings, he can clearly see the buildings of the city right across the water. He can even spot the exact point on the bridge from where he jumped a short while earlier. Technically, Kim is on an island and he's all alone, but he's actually only traveled a very short distance. To really drive home the point that he's merely a stone's throw away from civilization, a ferry on a routine tour of the river passes by Kim in his first moments on the island. Kim desperately tries to attract the attention of a ferry passenger, but the man simply responds with a pleasant wave and a smile.

At first, Kim's reaction to his plight is a little tough to swallow. For a man who just tried to kill himself, he's getting awfully upset about being alone and unable to return to the comforts of the city. At one point, he does attempt to swim across the river, but he abandons that plan due to his lack of swimming ability (an inventive series of flashbacks illustrate his ongoing troubles with swimming). Kim isn't quite ready to give up on death yet, but as the story progresses, we begin to see a man who is perhaps more afraid of dying than he is of living. Slowly, it dawns on him that his new life on the pseudo-deserted island is a life free of debt and the responsibility that dragged him to the depths of despair to begin with.

Before long, Kim embraces his new lease on life and discovers that he has an impressive ability to adapt to a life without luxury. As Kim settles into island life, a second storyline about a young woman living in the city (also named Kim and played by Ryeo-wan Jeong) begins to run parallel alongside the male Kim's tale. The female Kim suffers from an overwhelming fear of the outside world, so she spends all of her time hiding in the bedroom of her parent's apartment, updating her blog and occasionally peering outside to view the empty spaces of the city with her telescopic camera lens. One day, she spots a message in the sand left by the male Kim and the movie suddenly enters its sweetly romantic stage.
