Castaway on the Moon (2009)

AKA: 김씨 표류기 (Gimssi pyoryugi)

A bereft man jumps off a bridge and washes up on a small island, where he decides to make it his home. Meanwhile, an agoraphobic woman observes his antics through a telescopic lens from the confines of her own room. It's an unconventional "romantic" comedy, but full of heart and whimsy. A precursor to Swiss Army Man, which shares themes of misfits, isolation and loneliness.
