Highly Recommended Gem!
I initially watched this film solely for Kim Taeri and didn't have any high expectations. I was genuinely blown away by the beautiful visuals and found it unexpectedly emotional. The OST is great too.There's been some online criticism saying that Kim Taeri and Hong Kyung weren't as good as professional voice actors. I think that this is unfair because a lot of their recording was pre-scored before any animation was done, which was a tough job. I watched the same scene (Nan-Young's video for Jay) with Korean, English and Japanese audio to compare, and found that Kim Taeri has the nicest voice and gave a more emotional performance.
I really enjoyed the movie and have rewatched it several times. 😊

A love story that goes beyond the stars
“Out here in space, there’s someone who’s always rooting for you”.A perfect message for me at the moment when I watched the movie, and also now, 4 months later, when I added my review for it on My Drama List.
This is a beautiful love story that is literally across the starlight and universe, with beautiful voices from Kim Tae Ri and Hong Kyung, and a vivid, magical and sparkling animation style like thousands of stars in the sky.
I also love the theme song that is composed and performed by our main lead Jay. It perfectly fits the vibe of the film.

Review: Lost in Starlight (2025) – "A Stellar Animated Journey with Kim Tae-ri"
Lost in Starlight is a visually captivating animated film that follows a young woman’s cosmic journey of self-discovery. Kim Tae-ri’s voice performance as the protagonist brings emotional depth and vulnerability to the story, anchoring the film’s whimsical yet thought-provoking premise. The animation is breathtaking, with stunning depictions of space and otherworldly landscapes that set the stage for a truly magical experience.While the story explores themes of identity, loneliness, and connection in a vast universe, Kim Tae-ri's nuanced portrayal adds warmth and relatability, making her character’s journey resonate deeply. The pacing is steady, allowing the film to focus on emotional growth, while the fantastical elements keep it engaging.
