When the Stars Gossip is a South Korean romantic comedy series that premiered on January 4, 2025.
The story revolves around Gong Ryong (played by Lee Min-ho), an obstetrician-gynecologist and the prospective son-in-law of Korea’s wealthiest conglomerate, MZ Group. Gong Ryong embarks on a space tourism journey with a hidden agenda—a secret mission tied to his future in-laws.
Onboard the space station, he meets Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin), a brilliant yet reserved space scientist embarking on her maiden mission as the station’s commander. As they navigate life in space, their contrasting personalities lead to heartwarming and comedic moments, culminating in a romantic relationship set against the stars.
The series has been praised for its ability to combine a romantic comedy with a space exploration theme, with Lee Min-ho and Gong Hyo-jin delivering captivating performances, a stellar CGI and cinematography that enhance the immersive experience.
However, some critics argue the romance plot, while enjoyable, adheres to familiar K-drama tropes, offering few surprises.
The series Airs on tvN (South Korea) every Saturday and Sunday at 21:20 (KST) and it is streaming globally on Netflix.
