Castaway on the Moon (2009) Kimssi pyoryugi (original title): After failing to kill himself by jumping off a bridge, the man is washed up on a deserted island in the middle of the river, but within view of the city's high-rises. (7.9)
Director: Hae-jun Lee
Stars: Min-heui Hong, So-yeon Jang and Jae-yeong Jeong
Language: Korean (w/ English subtitles)
Okay, if you accept the premise of the predicament of the two main characters (yeah, that's a big IF) it is a funny story. It is sort of like a funny situation comedy. A cute story, but then again, the "surviving on a desert island" story has been done many times by now. I guess, the IMDB rating is purely from the Korean audiences (who may understand the subtle comedy from the average consumer culture inserted into the absurd situation) but I'm not impressed with the whole movie to write home about it. Yeah, it's okay, but missing quite a lot. My Rating: 6.5
