The daily lives of astronauts in a space station have been captured, drawing attention.

The new tvN weekend drama ‘Ask the Stars’ (written by Seo Sook-hyang, directed by Park Shin-woo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Keyeast, and MYM Entertainment), which will be aired for the first time on Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 9:20 PM, has revealed photos of the daily lives of astronauts in a space station located 200,000 km away from work, making people even more excited for their story.

‘Ask the Stars’ is a drama that depicts the extra-Earth life of Eve (played by Gong Hyo-jin), a boss working in a zero-gravity space station, and an uninvited dinosaur (played by Lee Min-ho) with a secret mission. It heralds the birth of Korea‘s first space office drama and is considered one of the most anticipated tvN dramas of the first half of 2025.

The released photos show various events that astronauts experience from the moment they leave Earth to after arriving at the space station. Since it is a space station that can only be reached by penetrating the atmosphere, the sight of tourist Dinosaur and Commander Eve Kim concentrating on launch preparations while wearing heavy spacesuits catches the eye.



Since the space station, which is arrived at by spaceship, is in a state of microgravity with almost no gravity, meals, exercise, and research are conducted in slightly different ways than on Earth. Space scientists Mina Lee (played by Lee Cho-hee) and Lee Seung-jun (played by Heo Nam-joon) are eating space food in a vacuum in a tray to protect the space station filled with various machines, while Eve Kim is researching the creatures inside the device.

You can also see dinosaurs getting ready to exercise while wearing belts to keep their bodies from floating away, and Kang Kang-soo (played by Oh Jung-se) swimming outside the space station in a spacesuit, giving you a glimpse into the astronauts’ daily routine. This makes you even more curious about the daily lives of astronauts who spend 24 hours a day carrying out their given missions in the space station.

In this way, ‘Ask the Stars’ will provide pleasant and fresh fun by depicting the hilarious extra-Earth life of dinosaurs Eve Kim, Kang Kang-soo, Mina Lee, and Lee Seung-jun, who are just living in the microgravity of space where everything weighs 0 grams. The first episode of ‘Ask the Stars’ is already anticipated and we wonder what will happen to the astronauts who go to the middle of the vast universe.

The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Ask the Stars’, which will show the daily lives of astronauts who go to work at a space station with a 200,000 km commute distance, will premiere on Saturday, January 4 at 9:20 p.m.
