Jun, a 35-year-old barista burdened with regret, wishes upon a shooting star for a chance to rewrite his past. Miraculously, he wakes up as his 19-year-old self, back in college with a golden opportunity to correct his mistakes.

With themes of friendship, family, and self-discovery interwoven, Starry Reunion explores the sweetness of love and the courage it takes to seize a second chance. Can Jun and Brent find their way back to each other and build a future as bright and enduring as the stars?
