One user went on to request that the film's live-action version be made. They wrote:

"Please make a live action version too with Hongkyung and Taeri as the main leads."

The film is directed by Han Ji-won, who has written it with Kang Hyun-joo. Hong Kyung and Kim Tae-ri have provided the voice for the characters of Jay and Nan-young, respectively. The tagline of the film reads:

'Never forget, somewhere in this universe, there is someone always supporting you.'

The one-minute and 27-second-long teaser begins with two people bumping into each other. We are then treated to several beautiful visuals as the two characters start falling for each other. The story transports us to Seoul in the year 2050. At one point, Nan-young leaves for Mars. The entire plot will unfold as the two navigate this distance.

Over the years, Netflix has added several K-dramas to its library. This animated film has the potential to broaden their fan base.
