The upcoming tvN drama When the Stars Gossip, starring Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, will feature exciting action and romance set in three different space centers. The drama has been filmed in two real-life, well-equipped space centers and one fictional location.
Details About the Space Locations
The sci-fi drama tells the unusual love story of Commander Eve Kim (Gong Hyo Jin), who works on a zero-gravity space station, and Gong Ryong (Lee Min Ho), a tourist at the same station who has a hidden reason for being there.
Before its premiere on January 4 at 9:20 p.m. KST (5:50 p.m. IST), the drama shared details about the three key space settings: the International Space Station (ILS), the Mission Control Center (MCC), and the fictional International Institute of Space United (I.O.U.).
International Space Station (ILS)
The ILS is a large space station made up of interconnected parts from various countries, including Russia and the US, orbiting Earth. Inside, there are special areas for research, such as a biology lab from Korea, along with everyday living spaces like a kitchen, bedrooms, and restrooms.
Viewers will see daily life in space through the eyes of various characters:
Gong Ryong (Lee Min Ho), the space tourist.
Commander Eve Kim (Gong Hyo Jin).
Space scientist Kang Kang Soo (Oh Jung Se).
Other crew members like Mina Lee (Lee Cho Hee) and Lee Seung Joon (Heo Nam Jun).
Mission Control Center (MCC)
The MCC is the ground-based headquarters where a team of experts manages space flights from launch to landing. In When the Stars Gossip, the following characters work at the MCC:
Chief Kang Tae Hee.
Astronaut Park Dong Ah (Kim Joo Hun).
Space doctor Mina Lee (Lee Cho Hee).
Flight operations director Han Si Won (Lee Hyun Kyun).
Experiment partner Ma Eun Soo (Park Ye Young).
The team at the MCC works together to ensure the safe return of the astronauts to Earth.
International Institute of Space United (I.O.U.)
The I.O.U. is a fictional international space organization created specifically for the drama. It oversees astronaut missions. This is also where Kang Tae Hee (Lee El) becomes the first Korean woman to hold the position of Deputy Director.
With these exciting locations, a fresh plot, and a new concept, When the Stars Gossip is expected to attract many viewers.
