The will that Gong Hyo-jin handed over shook Lee Min-ho‘s heart.

In episode 3 of the tvN weekend drama ‘Ask the Stars’ (written by Seo Sook-hyang, directed by Park Shin-woo) that aired on the 11th, while Dinosaur (played by Lee Min-ho) was confused about his feelings for Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin), Eve Kim, who went on a spacewalk, was put in a life-or-death crisis, shocking the viewers.

About three days after Dinosaur (played by Lee Min-ho) and Eve Kim arrived at the space station, a mission was handed down to repair the broken solar panels of the spaceship GO-10 that the two were on. To repair Geoten, which was docked to the space station, Commander Eve Kim and Kang Kang-soo (played by Oh Jung-se) went into space, and the other crew members made full preparations for their safe return.

On the other hand, Dinosaur was lost in his own worries as he recalled Eve Kim’s warning about the dangers of spacewalking. Since he had been swayed by Eve Kim since he came up to space, he was secretly worried about Eve Kim going to a dangerous space. In response, Dinosaur unknowingly showed his affection for Eve Kim, saying, “The Commander is someone who must live until the end,” but Eve Kim did not think much of it.

The day before going on the spacewalk, Eve Kim gave Dinosaur her will, which made Dinosaur even more upset. The dinosaur‘s head was filled with confusion due to all kinds of problems, including his feelings for Eve Kim, Choi Go-eun (played by Han Ji-eun) waiting for him on Earth, and the eggs stolen by Kang Kang-soo.

In the midst of all this, Eve Kim and Kang Kang-soo’s spacewalk began amidst everyone‘s tension, drawing attention. Since it was a dangerous task where they would never be able to return to the space station if they let their guard down for even a moment, all the crew members were watching Eve Kim and Kang Kang-soo closely.

The peaceful work progressed for a moment, but when Kang Kang-soo’s shoe was damaged, the mission began to flow in an unexpected direction. After Kang Kang-soo withdrew, Eve Kim, who had been continuing the work alone, was thrown from the spaceship. They barely managed to grab the broken solar panel, but Eve Kim‘s gloves were torn, and the sudden pressure difference caused Eve Kim to lose consciousness, shocking everyone.

While the other crew members were struggling to save Eve Kim, the dinosaur, who had no idea about this fact, was reading Eve Kim’s will in his personal space, which made the situation even more heartbreaking. Indeed, as the dinosaur said, “The commander is someone who must live until the end,” and it makes one wonder how Eve Kim will be able to return to the space station and what will happen in the end of this extremely dangerous mission.

On the other hand, the dinosaur‘s struggle to get back the egg that was stolen while Kang Kang-soo was away also caught the eye. The dinosaur, who took advantage of the space station’s system that sounds a fire alarm and releases all locks when the motor overheats, ran on a treadmill until his heart burst and was able to obtain the egg. With this, attention is focused on whether the dinosaur, which secured the supplies to proceed with the artificial insemination mission given by MZ Group Chairman Choi Jae-ryong (played by Kim Eung-soo), will complete the mission safely.

The 4th episode of tvN‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Ask the Stars’, where Lee Min-ho and Gong Hyo-jin’s life-threatening mission is underway, will air today (the 12th) at 9:20 p.m.
