Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin star in the highly anticipated K-drama series Ask the Stars, which is currently under discussion for simultaneous release on a global OTT platform. The production teams involved are Studio Dragon, KeyEast, and tvN, who are in the final stages of negotiating the details of this potential streaming deal.
Ask the Stars Production and Release Details
Ask the Stars is a romantic comedy set in space, directed by Park Shin Woo, known for It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, and written by Seo Sook Hyang, who penned Don’t Dare to Dream. The series will feature Lee Min Ho as Gong Ryong, a gynecologist who invests heavily in space travel as a tourist, and Gong Hyo Jin as Captain Eve Kim, a perfectionist astronaut.
The drama will consist of 20 episodes and is expected to be released in the first half of 2025. The storyline revolves around the unique connection between the astronaut and the space tourist at a space station.
OTT Streaming Discussions
According to reports, the series is likely to be featured on a global streaming service due to its significant production costs. This strategy has been successfully employed by other high-budget dramas. For instance, Queen of Tears, another Studio Dragon project, had a substantial portion of its budget covered by Netflix, which secured the rights for simultaneous streaming and partial international intellectual property (IP).
