'Ask the Stars' follows the story of Eve Kim, a boss at the space station, and a mysterious visitor known as Dinosaur, who has a secret mission. This marks the first time a space office drama is being produced in South Korea, generating significant buzz among viewers.

The collaboration between writer Seo Suk-hyang, known for her romantic comedies, and director Park Shin-woo, who has garnered a loyal fanbase with his meticulous direction, is highly anticipated, especially since they last worked together on 'Jealousy Incarnate'.

Lee Min-ho takes on the role of Dinosaur, a gynecologist who temporarily stays at the space station as a space tourist.

As the second son of a prominent financial family, he leads a carefree life until he suddenly ventures into space, seeking thrilling escapades. His portrayal of a man who has it all but seeks to transcend gravity is expected to showcase a different side of Oh Jung-se.

Han Ji-eun plays Choi Ko-eun, the girlfriend of Dinosaur. As the last remaining heir of the MZ Group's chairman, she embodies beauty, intelligence, and capability, making her a role model for women in South Korea and the ideal type for many men. Her character, known for her bold and straightforward personality, is anticipated to deliver a unique girl crush appeal.

The cast also includes Kim Joo-hun as Park Dong-ah, a veteran astronaut from the Seoul MCC Ground Control Center, and Lee El as Chief Kang, who manages and oversees the MCC Ground Control Center that connects Earth and space. Their performances are expected to add depth and vitality to the series.
