Coming to Bluray and DVD from director Chang Hyung-yun, GKids
and Shout! Factory is the extraordinary story of two amazing individuals with
SATELLITE GIRL AND MILK COW.
When a satellite going around the planet picks up the sound
of a song, it wants to find out more about it. Coming to Earth is Cat-1 who
meets Merlin who himself has been turned into a walking roll of paper and
giving her a human-like form.
The song came from Kyung-Chun, a young man who is dealing
with a broken heart and after a strange twist of fate it turns him into a milk
cow. If that isn’t bad enough, there is a man with a plunger trying to take his
liver! Cat-1 protects Kyung-Chun but also learns that her satellite form might
be in trouble.
When she discovers that getting back might be difficult,
Kyung-Chun aka Milk Cow feels bad for her. Actually, it’s more than that as he
finds himself having feelings for Cat-1 although he is having a hard time
admitting it. The struggle isn’t helped by the Witch of the North who wants to
take Milk Cow somewhere he can be safe.
But Kyung-Chun can’t leave Cat-1 behind and in the morning
light the two are confronted by an incinerator monster mid-argument. Even when
people try to separate the two, they protect one another without even a thought
to it. But Cat-1 believes the only way to stop their feelings is by leaving.
Cat-1 faces the incinerator monster alone and Merlin reaches
out to Kyung-Chun to use the one thing he knows will reach her. Inside the
monster is a world of gray and he finds the real Merlin who tells him to be
strong and find Cat-1.
Being different doesn’t mean love isn’t possible!
Satellite Girl may be an arm-firing rocket shoe wearing
un-girl but that doesn’t mean her feelings aren’t human. She is strong,
powerful and yet has the same fragile emotions as any teenage girl.
Kyung-Chun as Milk Cow is a young man who has had his heart
broken or has he? Being around Cat-1, he is more secure about his alter ego and
starts to understand what caring about someone truly feels like – even if her
arm and head can take off at a moments notice.
Merlin is hilarious as a role of toilet paper, I mean
really? He wants to help both Cat-1 and Milk Cow and tries to keep the chaos
from getting out of hand. That doesn’t mean he isn’t hilarious to look at.

This is a beautiful story
about hope, love, music, friendship, silliness, loyalty and wanting to do
what’s right for the person you care about. In the midst of the chaos they are
constantly in, Cat-1 and Kyung-Chun find that others may see them as
different but their feelings are the same.
Of course they spend time avoiding their feelings and
actually Cat-1 doesn’t think she has a right to ‘human’ emotion but Kyung-Chun,
even as Milk Cow, changes that. The most touching moment is when Cat-1 gives
Milk Cow a kiss because she sees beyond his outward appearance and that is
beautiful.
In the end – love always
finds a way!
