When The Stars Gossip is finally here! The show has been highly anticipated ever since it announced its cast — Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho. It finished filming in 2023 but the release got delayed. It is now arriving on tvN on January 4 in the weekend slot. It will also air on Netflix and is touted as a space romance. It’s a love story between two people from different worlds and with separate missions who meet at a space station as an astronaut and a tourist.
Gong Hyo Jin (When The Camellia Blooms) plays a Korean-American astronaut who works at a zero-gravity space station and Lee Min Ho (Pachinko) plays an obstetrician-gynecologist who arrives at the space station as a tourist. In addition to its lead actors, the drama also stars an amazing group of supporting actors — Oh Jung Se (It’s Okay To Not Be Okay) as space experiment expert and a scientist, Han Ji Eun (Be Melodramatic) as Lee Min Ho’s character’s girlfriend, Kim Joo Hun (Castaway Diva) as a veteran astronaut, Lee El (Mr. Plankton) as a globally renowned astronaut and the first Korean woman to become Deputy Director of the International Institute of Space United Space Center, Heo Nam Jun (When the Phone Rings) as a scientist; with many more actors and characters.
When The Stars Gossip is written by the writer of well-loved dramas like Pasta, Miss Korea and Jealousy Incarnate, and helmed by the PD of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay. I’m really looking forward to this show!
