Kong Hyo-jin and Lee Min-ho Share a Secret Romantic Connection in 'Ask the Stars'
In the upcoming episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Ask the Stars' (별들에게 물어봐), airing on February 9, the chemistry between the characters Gongryong (played by Lee Min-ho) and Eve Kim (played by Kong Hyo-jin) intensifies. During a meeting with Kang Tae-hee (played by Lee El) to discuss a report, Kang advises Eve to avoid personal meetings with tourists, stating, "Even if you liked him alone, it’s not a good look for a commander." She warns Eve about the competitive environment, emphasizing that there are more rivals looking to undermine her than supporters, and insists, "Absolutely do not meet him."
Later, Donna Lee (played by Lee Cho-hee) questions Gongryong about whether he has given up on his unrequited love, to which he cryptically replies, "I don’t do unrequited love anymore." This prompts Ma Eun-soo (played by Park Ye-young) to ask, "Why can’t mammals like mice reproduce yet? You’re a gynecologist, right? What do you think is the most important factor for life to be born in zero gravity?" Gongryong responds with a hint of mystery, saying, "A pretty baby mouse might have already done it; you just didn’t see it." Eve chimes in, "There are always those who don’t show it, the sneaky ones, the ones who pretend. They exist, right?"
In a particularly revealing moment, Gongryong asks Eve if she regrets being the first mammal to do something, to which she playfully responds, "I don’t know. At that time, I forgot whether I was a commander, a tourist, in space, or in gravity or zero gravity. Completely." Gongryong then jokes, "I did well, right? I’m quite an amazing mammal, aren’t I?" showcasing their playful and romantic dynamic.
