Ask the Stars

I gather from the news accounts on line that GOSSIP is losing audience week by week. And I grant that, so far, at least, it does not compete with the highly popular romantic rollercoasters, such as LOVE NEXT DOOR and QUEEN OF TEARS. Also, the most engaging romantic entanglement thus far dramatized is between two supporting characters on the ground: Lee El and Kim Joo-hun. But cliffhangers there are: plot contrivances to be resolved, love stories that will develop, and a wicked, overbearing patriarch overdue for comeuppance. This series is reported to have been extremely costly to produce, even if, or because, so much of it takes place within the zero-gravity confines of a space station. Even though the orbit of the ratings is degrading and the suits who fronted the $30 million may be weeping bitter tears, I am invested enough in what might attract Lee Min-ho and Kong Hyo-jin to each other, and what might keep them apart, that I plan to hang in there.

I absolutely love it! I'm fully committed to keeping up with the series until the very last episode.

Initially, I had some doubts about the concept, thinking it seemed repetitive based on what was suggested in the trailer. However, as I delved further into the episodes, I discovered that the drama is remarkably unique and it unfolds a compelling narrative that keeps me engaged. The performances by the cast are nothing short of outstanding-each actor truly brings their character to life, incorporating depth and emotion that makes every scene impactful. Additionally, hats off to the film production team; they've done a stellar job with the editing, which enhances the overall viewing experience.

I genuinely believe you'll find immense enjoyment in it once you start watching.

What sets this K-drama apart from many others is the absence of the typical love triangle that we often see. Instead, the dynamics between the main characters are approached in a refreshing manner that's quite rare for the genre, making their interactions feel more genuine and relatable.

Moreover, the action and fight scenes are integrated seamlessly into the storyline. They don't just serve as mere spectacles; they actually contribute to character development and plot progression. The unique cartoonish graphic style adds a whimsical touch that contrasts with the high-stakes moments, infusing a delightful sense of humor that enhances the overall enjoyment of the show.drama.

I love the two first episodes! The scenery is so spectacular! I love actor Lee Minho as the devoted doctor and as the astronaut against his wishes!

The commander Eve is so loveable! The scenes are all intense and yet give a lot of information that makes you wonder about the final plot. I like it when you have to wonder how the plot will be! That makes the watch more interesting!

The story is full of fun with a serous theme! On many scenes you can choose to take it serous or hilarious! Nicely done by the director.

It is long ago that I have seen a show where there is so much effort to give us viewers a treat to the eyes. The launching, the sky, the earth, the teams on earth and in space! So greatly done!

The space station is made so realistic as is the acting in this space station. What a great cast!

I am so looking forward to next week!

Actor Lee Min-ho, what kind of person are you?? How perfectionist you are! OMG, I'm so proud of you, how from time to time you always choose amazing projects. After falling in love with the super excellent "Pachinko", I can't help myself from two timing this feeling because I'm falling in love like crazy with this new one.. the feeling of "Je t'aime passionnement a la folie".

Just like "Pachinko" that has unique opening, I also like the fresh opening of "When the Stars Gossip".

It's a rare series that we can't blink our eyes while watching it or we want to repeat some scenes we might not watch carefully because each scene is so well made.

It's the combination of delicate artistic surprises.. so beautiful like we were in an art exhibition feeling, and the promising intriguing story in which each character has their own sides of lives to understand and psychological layers to study. It's promising because I like to study the psychological layers of the characters while connecting them to the thread of their life backgrounds.

I believe it's gonna be a rich experience following this series to the end. I have a positive feeling it's a masterpiece.

The space scenario is very broad for the incredible love intersections of the characters, including the rats and flies. The scenarios, well-made CGI and the emotional, social, historical and professional structures of the characters, within an often fun relational-affective intertwining; make up a robust love drama that shows the human experience from its conception as a morula, to its apogee as a fully active human being and creates the vortex of this sensational K-Drama. Science tries, but love accomplishes: the miracle of life. Scientists build theories and equate experiments to decipher the mysteries, but life simply continues to bring pairs together in order to be eternally active in its mysteries.
