Honestly, when I see this face...
I can't help but think of this one...
Am I wrong?
Lost in Starlight
Movies watched in 2025
Lost in Starlight (2025, South Korea)
Director: Han Ji Won
Writers: Kang Hyun Joo and Han Ji Won
Mini-review:
I think this is the first Korean animated film I've ever seen, and it's definitely a great place to start. The aesthetic and vibe clearly draw a lot of inspiration from Makoto Shinkai's work, but having adult characters as leads gives it a somewhat more mature feel. The writing is pretty solid too; although the movie's length is around 90 minutes and things develop pretty fast, the central relationship never feels rushed, and it earns the emotional wallop of the final act. Also, Kim Tae Ri and Hong Kyung prove to be surprisingly good voice actors. Then there's the beautiful music, which is more than up to the task of playing a key part in the story; I can see myself playing these songs a lot in the coming weeks. So yeah, Lost in Starlight is a worthy animated romance with a dash of science fiction.
P.S. That's one gorgeous poster.
I get Jeongwu so much. Jiwon is adorable.
