Lost in Starlight is a 2025 South Korean animated romantic drama directed by Han Ji-won, blending science fiction and comedy to tell the story of two lovers separated by the unimaginable distance between Earth and Mars — a genre-crossing feature that arrives on K-Time with full Persian dubbing.
What is Lost in Starlight about?
When a dedicated astronaut boards a spacecraft bound for Mars, the mission that was meant to be a career triumph becomes an agonizing separation from the person left behind on Earth. Across hundreds of millions of kilometers, the two attempt to hold their relationship together through delayed communications and the slow erosion of shared ordinary moments. The film follows both perspectives in parallel — the astronaut adapting to the alien solitude of deep-space travel, and the partner on Earth navigating everyday life with an absence that no video call can truly fill. As months stretch into years, both must ask whether love can survive not just distance, but the way time and experience quietly reshape who each person is becoming.
Cast & crew
Director Han Ji-won leads an ensemble anchored by Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung as the separated couple, supported by Kwon Young-mi, Kang Ku-han, An Young-mi, Jang Mi, Yoon Ah-young, and Choi Han. Kim Tae-ri is known for her emotionally precise performances across Korean film and television, bringing the same deliberate intensity to this animated feature.
Context & significance
South Korean animation has matured into a form that confidently carries adult emotional weight, and Lost in Starlight sits within that tradition — using the animated medium to render the scale of space in a way live-action rarely achieves without losing human intimacy. For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, stories about physical separation and the labor of maintaining connection across vast distance carry a particular resonance. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible without needing to follow subtitles, and it pairs the emotional register of Korean romantic drama with a science-fiction premise that broadens its reach well beyond the typical romance audience.
