Castaway on the Moon (Kimssi pyoryugi)
김씨표류기(2009)
1. Plot
Kim Seong-geun (Jung Jae-young) is deep in debt and his life seems completely hopeless. He jumps off a bridge into the Han River and washes up on the shore of Bamseom, which lies directly below the bridge. After searching the island he finds it is filled mostly with vegetation and surrounded by the city but too far to shout and he can't swim. He finds a duck-shaped boat and begins to like living on the island, free of his debt and worries of city life, though it is not easy.
As he learns to survive on the island, his cries for help scrawled in the sand are seen by Kim Jung-yeon (Jung Ryeo-won), a Hikikomori who spots him while engaging in her nightly habit of photographing the moon. They soon begin exchanging messages, with Jung-yeon venturing out of her house to throw bottled messages onto the island, and Seong-geun writing his replies in the sand.
A torrential storm arrives destroying Seong-geun's farm and sweeps away the possessions he has collected, following which he is found by a group of workers sent to clean up litter on the island. He boards a bus in the city where Jung-yeon, who, after overcoming her anxiety and running across the bridge to find him, manages to finally meet him.

4. What you should watch carefully
1) Jjajang-myeon
Jajangmyeon dates back to 1905, when it first appeared in Gonghwachun restaurant in Incheon Chinatown run by an immigrant from the Shandong Province of China. The restaurant is now the Jjajangmyeon Museum.
Although the name jajangmyeon is cognate with the Chinese dish zhájiàngmiàn (炸酱面), Korean jajangmyeon differs in many ways. Yong Chen, an associate history professor at the University of California, Irvine, argued that although the dish "began as the Northern Chinese noodle-and-ground pork dish zhájiàngmiàn, it is thoroughly Korean."
To many korean, this food reminds some kind of nostalgia. So do I. In my childhood, when some special occasion like graduation day, sports day, or exam, my parents used to buy this.
Everyone loves it! If there should be a rival of it, that must be Jjamppong(japanese stlye seafood noodle).
This food means so much to korean. But weird part is korean call it as chinese food, but china doesn't have this food. (FYI, There is similar food but not like this.)
All of korean has different meaning of this food nowadays.
For example,
Teenagers used to think about this as a solo food. In Apr.14(we call 'Black Day'), those who doesn't have any relationship used to eat 'Jjajjangmyeon' "alone".
I think it's a kind of marketing but it works eventually.
20s thinks it's cheap and fast food. If you think McDonalds is only a fastfood in korea, you got it wrong. I'm pretty sure if 20s wanna have something fastfood, they will pickup the phone. And most importantly, they will arrive in 20 minutes!!
