Actor Oh Jung-se is showing off a new charm in ‘Ask the Stars’.

Oh Jung-se is stimulating interest by taking on the role of ‘Kang Kang-soo’, a third-generation chaebol space scientist in the tvN weekend drama ‘Ask the Stars’. He is capturing the attention of viewers with his cynical and prickly appearance, which is a contrast to his innocent Eohung character in his previous work ‘Mr. Plankton’, as well as his bold side in front of love.

First, the chemistry between Kang-soo‘s ex-lover Choi Go-eun (played by Han Ji-eun) and Ryung-soo (played by Lee Min-ho), who became entangled through artificial insemination, is gathering attention.

In the previous two episodes, Kang-soo coldly looked down on Ryung, saying, “Can you handle a microscope better than me in this zero gravity? Give up. Go-eun is mine”, creating sharp tension. After that, Kang-soo, who secretly performed artificial insemination using the eggs that Ryong brought, showed a provocative appearance, saying that he succeeded in making 6 out of 7 eggs fertilized.

Kang-soo then said that even Go-eun, who was angry at him, was pretty, showing his extreme unrequited love, which made the interest even higher. This was a moment where Oh Jung-se’s acting stood out, drawing attention to the ‘bulldozer’ aspect of Kang Kang-soo, who wants to conquer love beyond the universe, with his eyes and voice that seemed to be deeply in love, and stimulating the interest of viewers.

This has drawn even more attention to Oh Jung-se‘s transformation, who has returned with a new visual different from his previous works. Oh Jung-se not only showed off his natural swimming in a zero-gravity space wearing a spacesuit, but also melted into the character by expressing in detail the charisma and prickly personality of Kang Kang-soo, a third-generation conglomerate space scientist, with his sharp eyes.

Amidst Oh Jung-se’s activities, the romance at the space station intensifies, and expectations are rising for what plans Kang Kang-soo has for himself and Oh Jung-se‘s passionate acting in the future.

Meanwhile, tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Ask the Stars’, starring Oh Jung-se, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
