Netflix has confirmed the production of their new movie 'Starlight' and announced the casting of Kim Minha and Noh Sanghyun.

On the 23rd, Netflix revealed that they have finalized production for the realistic romantic-comedy movie 'Starlight.' The movie tells the chaotic yet realistic story of a long-term couple in their 10th year of dating who love each other to death and hate each other just as fiercely, showing all the wild and ridiculous things they do because of love.

Soohyun (played by Kim Minha) and Hyuntae (played by Noh Sanghyun) met like destiny on an arts college campus and fell in love at first sight. They continued their relationship with intense passion, and even after 10 years together, they still love and hate each other intensely. The movie promises to humorously show the 'total mess' of a real relationship where they do all sorts of crazy things because of love, raising high expectations. 'Starlight' plans to show the reality of a passionate relationship that anyone has either experienced at least once, or wished to, through the romantic-comedy genre.

Kim Minha and Noh Sanghyun will play the roles of Soohyun and Hyuntae, a couple who started as college classmates and have been together for a decade. The two, previously portraying a sad romance in the series 'Pachinko,' will reunite in 'Starlight; as a long-term couple who can read each other's minds just by looking at their eyes. Kim Minha plays as Soohyun, a talented curator who strives for perfection in her work and career but falls apart when it comes to love and jealousy. Noh Sanghyun plays as Hyuntae, an installation artist who has been dating Soohyun for 10 years, portraying an artist with his own strong beliefs. The movie 'Starlight' will show the unusual romance of a long-term couple who date loudly, loving each other passionately and hating just as intensely. With Kim Minha and Noh Sanghyun reuniting in the romance genre, 'Starlight' is expected to bring a special kind of excitement to viewers all over the world through their realistic chemistry.

'Starlight' will be directed by rising filmmaker Seo Jungmin, a graduate of the Korea National University of Arts who is expected to show a fresh and witty direction. The production is handled by Bom Baram Film Productions, which previously produced Director Namkoong Sun's 'Love Untangled' and Director Kim Doyoung's 'Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982.'
