Summary

Korea’s first palace fantasy adventure!
Peaceful by day, Changdeokgung Palace turns into mystical Moonlight Palace at night!
Recommended by Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with 611 year history!

<Lost in the Moonlight> received much interest from its production stage as it is based on Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The nation’s first palace fantasy adventure delivers a new genre of film filled with fresh, fun, and interesting charms.

The Korean palaces were usually captured on films and drama series as historical living quarters of the characters. But Changdeokgung Palace in <Lost in the Moonlight> goes beyond being just a setting and is a special place filled with mystic wonders and adventures, and drawn new as another character in the animation.“What would happen if a girl spends a night at Changdeokgung Palace where royal family members lived to the end?”Starting off from director KIM Hyun-joo’s brilliant imagination, <Lost in the Moonlight> captures the mystical adventure when a peaceful palace by day opens doors to a new world at night. In the world of gods that humans cannot enter, there are various spirits, a key that turns time, etc. like never been seen before. The thirteen-year-old girl’s adventure inside the mystical world is amusing beyond imagination. With careful research on Changdeokgung Palace, places such as Injeongjeon, Buyongji, and Nakseongjae were captured in great detail and reborn as appealing places for new adventures. Thus, the film has been highly praised and recommended by the Cultural Heritage Administration and Changdeokgung Palace. The Cultural Heritage Administration commented, “<Lost in the Moonlight> is a film that presents the beauty of our palaces and royal artifacts in a very interesting way to children and youths. It is not only cinematically fun, but it is a way to naturally see and understand our country’s cultural heritage, so it is educationally beneficial too. It will play a big role in revitalizing our cultural contents.”
Korea’s first palace fantasy adventure, <Lost in the Moonlight>, will present thrills and amusement in a mystical, beautiful world like never seen before.
