01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Gong Ryong is a gynaecologist who has paid an enormous sum to become a space tourist, visiting a space station on a secret mission of his own. Eve Kim is the commander of that station, a perfectionist who runs her crew by the book and has no patience for a tourist who breaks every rule in zero gravity. Trapped together 400 kilometres above Earth, the two clash over everything, from procedures to privacy, while the rest of the crew watches the sparks fly. When the Stars Gossip aired on tvN from January 4, 2025, in sixteen episodes, starring Lee Min-ho and Gong Hyo-jin. It was one of the most expensive Korean dramas ever made, and the first set in space. The setting is spectacular and the leads are charming, but the story struggles to balance romance, comedy and science, and the result is a drama that is easier to admire than to love.

The Oxfea take.

A tourist in space. A commander who hates tourists. Zero gravity.

LOVE, 400 KM UP.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Lee Min-ho plays Gong Ryong, an obstetrician who pays a fortune to visit a space station as a tourist.
  • Gong Hyo-jin plays Eve Kim, the station's commander, who follows every rule he breaks.
  • Korea's first space-station drama, with a reported budget of 50 billion won.

Oxfea Score: 6.9/10 — Honest take. The first K-drama set on a space station, with two huge stars — and a script that never decides what it wants to be. Gorgeous to look at, frustrating to watch, and the zero-gravity romance never quite lifts off.
