What is the plot of Lost in Starlight?
The synopsis for Lost in Starlight has been sourced from Netflix:
Nan-young, whose astronaut mom failed to return to Earth when things went awry during her Mars probe. Nan-young has always dreamed of exploring space too and longs to go to Mars in hopes of finding a trace of her mom.
Her dream comes true when she is selected as one of the astronauts for a Mars probe project. Before she blasts off though, she meets Jay, a musician who also fixes retro sound instruments.
Who are the cast members of Lost in Starlight?
Kim Tae Ri will provide the voice of the astronaut Nan-young. The South Korean actress has appeared in three Netflix Originals so far, Mr. Sunshine as Go Ae Sin, Space Sweepers as Captain Jang, and Twenty-Five Twenty-One as Ku San Young. She recently starred in the Korean horror thriller series Revenant, which has received huge amounts of praise from critics and K-drama fans.
Hong Kyung will provide the voice of the musician Jay. Netflix has seen very little of Hong Kyung who has only held a supporting role in the first season of D.P. in the supporting role of Ryu Yi Kang and a guest role in Live. Hong Kyang also recently starred alongside actress Kim Tae Ri in Revenant. Some Netflix subscribers will be familiar with the actor after viewing his performances in licensed K-dramas such as Hotel del Luna, School 2017, and Life on Mars.
