“Never forget Jay, somewhere in this universe, there is someone always supporting you”
Kim Tae-Ri voices the protagonist, Nan-young, an astronaut thrilled at the chance to explore space and travel to Mars. Chosen for a Mars probe project, her journey takes a turn when she crosses paths with Jay (voiced by Hong Kyung), a musician. The two bump into each other on the street, and sparks fly instantly. But will Jay ever see Nan-young again, or will he lose her to the stars?
The animation is vibrant and colorful, reminiscent of the palette from Netflix’s 2022 animated film Entergalactic, another romantic tale, though grounded on Earth despite its cosmic name. In contrast, Lost in Starlight offers glimpses of Nan-young’s life beyond the atmosphere. As she floats through space, her heart remains tethered to Jay on Earth.
How their story unfolds, and what the Mars probe project means for Nan-young’s life, seems to be at the heart of the film. Directed by Han Ji-won, the teaser is dreamy, sparkly, and intriguing. Lost in Starlight premieres on Netflix on May 30. Watch the trailer on YouTube, it’s also embedded below.
