When the Stars Gossip

별들에게 물어봐 ‧ Drama ‧ 2025

I did the same thing by going to see the comments, hoping to finally see something more positive, but, alas, I found that it was even worse, as if the haters were satisfied to conclude their complaints. When I see a hater who left a comment saying that this drama is propaganda for marriage, I wondered if they had really watched the drama.

This drama raises several important questions, such as:
- Should we encourage research on fertilization in space? (thinking about the cost, about accessibility, about the limits not to cross, etc.)
- Are we allowed to destroy morulas or to consider them as embryos? (one of the bases of this drama)
- Should we prioritize the life of the mother or the child when the mother insists on saving the child? (eternal question that brings me back to other dramas)

I really liked the actors and the characters. I was just bothered by Ryong's stubbornness in holding such a violent grudge against Eve: he knew they had done something illegal with Kang and that they had been caught. Everything else was the consequence of their actions. I think it was his pride that was hurt and he dreamed of showing the CEO that he had been wrong about her. It was this disproportionate reaction that would lead to Eve's death.

I'm not at all a fan of sad endings, but sometimes, I admit that they make sense, and that they can end up being beautiful if they are properly framed. This one is one of them, although I find Eve's death very cruel. She had so much to do with her daughter, so much to rebuild herself with Ryong and perhaps to end up forgiving her biological mother. Maybe the author was thinking of making her pay for the destruction of the morulas.
Of course, for the end I would have loved it to be the first one, I was in full happiness in front of my screen, but alas, it was the future that Ryong imagined when he saw his daughter appear. I even found it cruel that the author offered us this scene.

Finally, just a clarification, it is not science fiction, but simple fiction based on existing technologies. Science fiction is based on future technologies (hyper space, time travel, etc.)

@jyb34 couldn't agree more, the drama took on a philosophical take but people can't comprehend it and just judge it first hand with a shallow mind especially about the characters action and motivation 

@jyb34 thank you for that clarification.

I would like to submit a reflection ; I haven't seen any comment saying that the image of the fetus in space could be an allusion to  Stanley Kubrick's movie  "2001 A Space Odyssey", where this fetus is one of the last images of the movie. Kubrick had chosen this symbol because it was inspired by a  Lennart Nilsson's photograph called "A Child is Born" (1965) which symbolizes a new great beginning .

I think I'm going to rewatch this drama because I wonder if I missed some other details.

Вот и подошла к концу невероятная история Гон Рёна и Евы. И финал меня нисколько не разочаровал. Я в полном восторге от этой дорамы и буду говорить это каждый раз! Ни одна дорама не заставляла меня так сопереживать героям (всем без исключения), ни одна дорама не выворачивала мою душу наизнанку, ни одна дорама не наполняла мое сердце болью и не разрывала его на части, ни одна дорама не захватывала мое дыхание и не заставляла меня плакать. Ни в одной дораме я не испытывала столько разных эмоций, как в этой. Для меня это лучшая дорама на сегодняшний день, это шедевр! И я хочу от всего сердца поблагодарить всех, кто работал над этим шедевром. Вы проделали колоссальную работу. Интересный сюжет, все логично, последовательно и реалистично, ничего лишнего, и каждая рассказанная история — как мазок кисти художника, который дополняет общую картину и создает нужное настроение. Великолепная игра всех без исключения актеров, нет, они даже не играли, они жили. Глубокий смысл, который тонкой нитью пронизывал все 16 серий, не давал мне спать, и я думала о нем почти всю ночь. Великолепная графика, незабываемый OST, все в дораме на очень высоком уровне, поэтому для меня эта дорама — шедевр. Обязательно буду смотреть ее снова и снова!

I loved this drama. I feel like people who do not like it do not understand what kdrama is.

Same, I think so too, I was talking to my Korean friend about this series and she said her family watched it together every weekend. She said they were all hooked, along with her friends too but they don't go on websites to give reviews as they watched it directly on TVN and never think about writing or rating a series online.  When I visited S.Korea ly, I noticed how people watch Kdramas on the train, bus, while on lunch etc. It was amazing to see how serious they are about watching their favorite dramas.  I really loved tand enjoyed this series,  only the ending got me abit sad but there can't always be happy endings.

I saw people on reddit complaining about how Gong Ryong was not Lee Min Ho’s “vibe”, but as a long time fan of him, I loved that he took on a role that was different from his usual ones. It shows his range and how much he has grown as an actor. I thought so much of the acting in this was top notch, just tge story had a few issues. But I commend all the actors for what they did with a problematic script. And I enjoyed it despite it’s foibles.

I'm the more and more tired by people who don't stand any disparity between FL and ML. Why are they demanding the ideal couple regarding only the actors and not the characters ? In my opinion Lee Min Ho and Gong Ryong were suitable to their characters. Then we can criticize characters or and the scripts, but we can't blame actors who are often highly driven in kdramas. I had the same feeling with the last drama with Lee Junho and Kim Min ha (Typhoon Family) with some criticisms about the "compliance" between the two actors while I really loved this couple.

Coming back to "ask the stars", I like dramas with many life lessons, but the script suffered many difficulties and mainly the fact to operate in space, binding the producers to validate some unrealistic scenes. But I'm happy to read positive comments about this drama.
