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 jumps off a bridge into the Han River and washes up on the shore of Bamseom, which lies directly below the bridge.
Kim Seong-geun ( Jung Jae-young) is deep in debt and his life seems completely hopeless. Jung Jae-young had a jajangmyeon party with movie audiences in May 27th 2009 at the 63 Building. The character Kim Seong-geun was originally going to wear a triangle underwear but was changed to square underwear because Jung Jae-young resisted to wear it. The film was the first to film in Bamseom and the filming was specially authorized by the Seoul authorities. The film was abled to only film the beach scenes in Bamseom since it was a nature reserve and the forest scenes were filmed in Chungju and Changwon. Actor Jung Jae-young had to lose 7kgs for three months and did not trim his fingernails and toe nails and cut his hair to portray the look of a person who drifted to an uninhabited island. She also addressed the challenges while playing her character in the film because she felt lonely while filming most of her scenes alone. Casting and Filming Īctress Jung Ryeo-won said the favorite parts of the scenario were her character's scar on her forehead since she thought she would never do such makeup ever again on her career and the theme of hope. The two kims in the film communicates with english since the director thought to reflect that they are different from the mainstream society that they are part of which use korean and the isolates would have their own symbols rather than language. Production Title selection Īctor Jung Jae-young suggested the director to change the name of the film to "the drifting experience of the Jungs(정씨표류기)" to reflect the fact the actors and actresses playing the lead role are part of the Jung family, but director insisted on keeping the name since he deliberately chose the family name Kim to suggest the universal nature of the characters.
