The life of Doctor Lee Min-ho and Commander Gong Hyo-jin in a space station has been captured.

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 January 4, 2025 at 9:20 PM, has released a teaser video of Tourist X Commander, foreshadowing the meeting between the uninvited dinosaur (played by Lee Min-ho), who protects life, and Commander Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin), who creates life.

‘Ask the Stars’ is a drama that depicts the extra-Earth life of Boss Eve, who works in a zero-gravity space station, and the uninvited dinosaur with a secret mission.

It is heralding the birth of Korea‘s first space office drama set in a space station, and is considered one of the most anticipated tvN dramas of 2025.

The released video opens with a space station orbiting the blue Earth. In the vast expanse of space with no beginning or end, the astronauts living in a weightless space where everything weighs 0 grams are carrying out their lives as usual.

On the other hand, the dinosaur tourists who entered space are busy floating around as if they were unable to adapt to weightlessness, foreshadowing a difficult space adaptation period.

Eve Kim, who used to carry the dinosaur around like a wart, took meticulous care of him, unlike when she objected, saying, “Do I have to be a nanny for tourists?” Eve Kim’s words, “In an emergency, the commander is the first to die,” make us feel the sense of responsibility that comes with being a commander on a dangerous space station.

Eve Kim‘s words, “There is no rule as important as protecting and creating life,” make us guess the sense of mission of space scientists living in the middle of space. Since Yin-Yong, an obstetrician and gynecologist, also worked to save human lives when he was on Earth, the story of these two people with similar values regarding life is anticipated.

Also, the changed atmosphere between Yin-Yong and Eve Kim, who make deep eye contact and say, “We came here to live together,” makes the viewers’ hearts flutter. People are curious about what happened before the two said to each other, “I am your doctor” and “I am your commander.”

The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama “Ask the Stars,” which tells the story of astronauts simply living in the vast, weightless universe, will premiere on January 4 at 9:20 p.m.
