Netflix Posts Lost In Starlight English Dubbed Trailer

Netflix is preparing to launch its first-ever Korean original animated film, Lost in Starlight, a celestial romance scheduled to premiere on May 30th. Directed by Han Ji-won, a celebrated figure in Korean animation, the film promises a visually stunning and emotionally resonant story that transcends the vastness of space.

Set in Seoul in the year 2050, Lost in Starlight tells the poignant tale of two dreamers whose paths intertwine under the city lights. Nan-young, voiced by the talented Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, is an aspiring astronaut with her sights set on Mars. Jay, brought to life by Justin H. Min’s voice acting, is a musician whose dreams have been put on hold. Their chance encounter at an audio repair shop, where Nan-young seeks to fix a record player left by her mother, sparks an unexpected connection.

As Nan-young embarks on her journey to Mars, the immense distance of space becomes a tangible representation of the challenges their love faces. The film’s narrative, penned by Han Ji-won and Hyun-joo Kang, explores the themes of first love, loss, memory, and the enduring power of hope as the two lovers navigate their feelings across the cosmos. The synopsis released by Netflix hints at an animated romance where the infinite expanse of space divides these star-crossed individuals.

Early glimpses of Lost in Starlight, as seen in the new trailer and poster, showcase a distinctive retro-cyberpunk aesthetic. The visuals are described as lush, with dreamlike lighting and sweeping landscapes that evoke the beauty and wonder of space, drawing comparisons to the works of acclaimed anime director Makoto Shinkai. Reviewers note the film’s visual artistry, highlighting the balance between science fiction awe and emotional intimacy. The color palettes and pacing suggest a more meditative and quietly powerful tone.

The voice cast, featuring Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung, both known for their compelling performances, is expected to bring depth and authenticity to their characters’ emotional journeys.
