‘Ask the Stars’ will begin its fateful rendezvous with viewers on the 4th.

tvN‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Ask the Stars’ (written by Seo Sook-hyang, directed by Park Shin-woo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by KeyEast, MYM Entertainment) 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.

Ahead of the first broadcast on the 4th, which is receiving a lot of attention as tvN’s most anticipated drama of the first half of 2025, we have looked at some exciting points to watch.

Point 1. Lee Min-ho, Gong Hyo-jin, Oh Jung-se, Han Ji-eun, writer Seo Sook-hyang, and director Park Shin-woo demonstrate synergy that transcends gravity!

‘Ask the Stars’ is garnering hot attention by completing an off-Earth lineup of trustworthy actors Lee Min-ho (as Dinosaur), Gong Hyo-jin (as Eve Kim), Oh Jung-se (as Kang Kang-soo), and Han Ji-eun (as Choi Go-eun). Here, writer Seo Sook-hyang, who has captivated viewers with her sensational storylines, and director Park Shin-woo, who has shown his sensible directing, are reuniting, heralding fantastic synergy.

Also, actors who have shown their unique personalities regardless of genre, including Kim Joo-hun (as Park Dong-ah), Lee El (as Kang Tae-hee), Lee Cho-hee (as Mina Lee, Donna Lee), Heo Nam-joon (as Lee Seung-joon), Lee Hyun-kyun (as Han Si-won), and Park Ye-young (as Ma Eun-soo), have all been mobilized, raising expectations for a rich entertainment experience. The first broadcast of ‘Ask the Stars’, which has completed the trustworthy combination of writer, director, and actor, is highly anticipated.

Point 2. The birth of Korea‘s first space office drama that all drama fans must see!

‘Ask the Stars’ is Korea’s first space office drama that captures the daily lives of astronauts living in a space station, where the commuting distance alone is a whopping 200,000 km. In a zero-gravity space where everything weighs 0 grams, astronauts are conducting research to cure various incurable diseases on Earth using various living organisms such as mice, fruit flies, and plants.

In particular, space is an environment where it is not easy to eat, sleep, or stand up, so everything, including surgical operations and the reproduction of living organisms, operates differently from Earth. Nevertheless, astronauts struggle every day to find new possibilities. Accordingly, ‘Ask the Stars’ will present various events and accidents that occur as astronauts live on a space station, giving viewers a variety of emotions such as love, friendship, and empathy.

Point 3. Tourist X Commander, a fateful rendezvous that unfolds between the space station and Earth!

In the drama, the dinosaur is an obstetrician and gynecologist and the prospective son-in-law of South Korea‘s top conglomerate MZ Group. He is about to get married, so he pays an astronomical amount of money to go on a tour to the space station. Commander Eve Kim, who commands the crew on the space station, is not fond of the tourist dinosaurs visiting their workplace, so curiosity is growing as to whether the unwelcome guest and the commander’s uncomfortable companionship will end safely.

Meanwhile, space scientists Kang Kang-soo (Oh Jung-se), Mina Lee (Lee Cho-hee), and Lee Seung-joon (Heo Nam-joon) who live on the space station, and MZ Group heir Choi Go-eun (Han Ji-eun), astronaut Park Dong-ah (Kim Joo-hun), Chief Kang Tae-hee (Lee El), Doctor Donna Lee (Lee Cho-hee), flight director Han Si-won (Lee Hyun-kyun), and experiment partner Ma Eun-soo (Park Ye-young) who live on Earth also form various relationships as they travel back and forth between Earth and space. That‘s why people are curious about ‘Ask the Stars’, which will depict the fateful rendezvous of characters as they travel back and forth through the atmosphere.

The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Ask the Stars’, which will depict the great commotion between tourists and commanders in an unknown space, will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on the 4th.
