After years of waiting, tvNit’s a big budget drama When the stars gossip has finally released its first teaser, creating a stir among fans. With a production cost of KRW 50.0 billion (about $34.8 million), the K-Drama faced a surprising two-year delay, making this reveal even more exciting.
The series is the protagonist Lee Min Ho AND Gong Hyo Jin in the main roles.
Lee plays the role of Gong Ryong, a gynecologist who ends up on a space station, while Gong plays Eve Kim, the dedicated commander tasked with protecting lives in a zero-gravity environment.
The series explores their lives and connections as they face the challenges of life in space. As the first Korean drama set on a space station, When the stars gossip has been described as a bold and innovative addition to the “space office” genre.
The project first came to light in November 2021, when Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin were said to be in discussion for the roles. Casting was confirmed by March 2022 and filming began in April of the same year. After nearly a year of production, Lee Min Ho announced in February 2023 that filming was complete. Despite this, the series has been delayed, increasing curiosity and anticipation among fans.
The newly unveiled teaser highlights breathtaking images of a space station orbiting the Earth, contrasting the calm, routine lives of astronauts with the chaotic adjustment of a newcomer. With its unique premise and stellar cast, When the stars gossip is already touted as one of the must-watch dramas of 2025. Fans can eagerly await its premiere on January 4 at 9:20 PM KST.
