An extremely unusual romantic comedy about two extremely unusual characters who fall in love in obviously an extremely unusual manner, Castaway on the Moon is a wickedly well-made & heartfelt work of creativity that in the end turned out to be an emotionally fulfilling & rewarding experience. Taking a leaf out of Cast Away & blending it with magical strands of love in a unique manner, this film is a fresh breathe of life that defies its genre conventions almost entirely.
Wonderfully written & directed by Lee Hae-joon with clever characterization & progression of the plot, richly photographed, finely edited, ably performed & calmly scored too, Castaway on the Moon may have few annoying moments & may not click with everyone but it's better if you go into this story completely unaware of its plot to make the most out of it. And although it might give an impression of being a Cast Away rip-off in its first act but soon you'll be kicking yourself for making that presumption for it's an entirely different film & probably better too.
