tvN Release First New Batch of Drama Stills for When the Stars Gossip with Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin After Confirming January 2025 Release

If I didn’t know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama style I would have thought it was a mashup of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Alien. What’s with all the sus staring and mentally plotting intensity in the first new set of drama stills for When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars) released by tvN since the confirmation of the airing date in less than two months. It’s a mega cast led by Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin along with an even more mega budget so this drama has been waiting for over a year and a half to air after finished production. Better late than never and with a famously big budget it can either be a hit like Mr. Sunshine or a flop like Arthdal Chronicles. At least its avoiding the year end juggernaut that is Squid Game 2 and releasing a week later.

  • I was thinking the same…they all look serious… is something gonna pounce or a meteor headed to earth and only they can save it..lol but really so serious.

  • One of the reasons for the delay was partly also a longer then usual post-production due to visual effects etc etc

  • Looking at these pictures, I think I'm much more excited over the possibility of Kim Joo Heon and Lee El's characters being romantically paired up than the leads. They look like they'd have amazing chemistry together. If this was a Kim Eun Sook drama, a 2nd pairing would almost be a guarantee, but I don't know if this scriptwriter is known for having 2nd lead romantic pairings in her dramas.

      • Oh great. Now I have more hope those two get paired up. Not the biggest fan of KDrama love triangles though since there are few real ones. It's often just the main couple and friend zoned 2nd leads. The one thing I'll give Kim Eun Sook credit for is giving the leads and the 2nd leads their own separate romantic storylines with the 2nd leads sometimes eclipsing the the leads (eg. Goblin). If Kim Joo Heon and Lee El can get their own romantic storyline that doesn't involve them being in some triangle with the leads, I'm all for it.

    • I’m not a fan of either leads and was not planning on watching. But now I’m rethinking, seeing how cool Lee El & Kim Joon Heon look in that still.

  • Oh Jung Se's talent goes without saying but I find Kim Joo Hun is such a great addition to every cast. Great supporting cast for me but not so much the leads. I think Gong Hyo Jin seems like such a cool and likeable lady in real life and on a surface level I can appreciate she is talented but I just find the characters she plays in dramas so annoying. I don't like Lee Min Ho's acting nor do I find him attractive on a superficial level so this drama will be a pass for me. Happy for their fans tho, they have had to wait an age for this to come out.

  • It's hard to imagine how romance would develop in that kind of setting LOL and rom come isn't appealing at this point. I hope there will be surprises.

    I've never found Mr. Sunshine interesting, BTW.
