Center
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating because its narrative focuses on universal human experiences such as personal ambition, emotional complexity, and the balance between work and relationships, explicitly avoiding overt political themes and offering a nuanced exploration of individual and societal progress.
The film features a diverse cast, likely East Asian given its futuristic Seoul setting and character names, contributing to visible representation. Its narrative, however, centers on universal themes of love, loss, and human connection without explicitly critiquing or focusing on traditional identities or specific DEI themes.
Secondary
Lost in Starlight is a heterosexual romance centered on Nan-young and Jay, explicitly lacking LGBTQ+ representation within its narrative. Despite a creative team member's involvement in other LGBTQ+ themed works, this film does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, aligning with South Korea's conservative media landscape.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film introduces original characters, Nan-Young and Jay, whose gender identities are consistent throughout. There is no information suggesting any character was established as one gender in prior canon and portrayed as a different gender in this film.
The film is an original production set in 2050 Seoul, centering on Korean characters. There is no indication of prior source material or established character races that would allow for a race swap, as all characters are original to this specific film.
