Lost in Starlight, releasing on May 30, fast-forwards to 2050s Seoul, where Nan-young chases starlight and her vanished astronaut mother's ghost. Selected for the Mars probe that could fulfill her cosmic destiny, this determined space cadet's trajectory crosses with Jay, a vintage-loving audiophile who coaxes melodies from forgotten machines. Their chance encounter ignites a gravitational pull neither expected, a connection that must somehow survive across the vast, unforgiving void between the red planet and the blue.
Kim Tae-ri rockets into Nan-young's spacesuit, infusing the character with the emotional rocket fuel fans witnessed in The Handmaiden and Space Sweepers. Alongside her orbits Hong Kyung as the contemplative Jay, fresh from his stellar performance in Weak Hero Class 1. Director Han Ji-won and writer Kang Hyun-joo’s creative constellation shines in the teaser, now available on YouTube, a spellbinding visual sonata featuring dreamlike renderings of Seoul landmarks bathed in starlight, perfectly harmonized with heart-tugging melodies.
While Lost in Starlight gets ready to take off, Netflix’s treasure trove is packed with plenty of other awesome animated gems that blend love, adventure, and a little bit of magic, perfect for your next binge while you wait.
