Meanwhile, the bilateral relation between Goryeo and the Yuan gets worse as Yuan demands to install the cousin of the King in the Crown Prince of Goryeo with ascribing it to no son the King has.

“Castaway on the Moon” [Featured Movie] 

If you were in an amazing amount of debt, would you run away? “Castaway to the Moon” is about a man who runs away from the city because of his own debt, and remains stranded on an island after an attempted suicide.  He is alone on an island and a castaway, or so he thinks..

Official Synopsis
A man named Kim (played by Jeong Jae-young) jumps into the dark, quiet waters of the Han River. He wakes up and finds himself lying on strange ground, covered with sand. For a second, he thinks he is in heaven, but soon recognizes that he simply drifted to a nameless island in the river.

In one of the riverside apartment buildings, there’s a girl who hasn’t ventured out of her room for years. With her dishevelled hair and in the same old clothes she’s worn for years, she looks just like a castaway. Then one day, she catches sight of a man living alone on an island through her binoculars. Day after day, his lonely but seemingly contented life triggers her curiosity and compels her to step out of her room after so many years.

Kim’s extraordinary life becomes the inspiration for change in this girl’s lonely, detached life.

Watch how two people casted away on an island react with one another, when they have both avoided reality.
