Popular South Korean actor Lee Min-Ho teams up with Gong Hyo-Jin in the space-romance K-drama when the Stars Gossip and it has received low ratings after it latest episode.
The highly anticipated series, which premiered on January 5, grabbed attention with its unique storyline and star-studded cast.
However, by Episode 4, its ratings dropped to 2.8% from an initial 3.3%, sparking conversations about why it’s failing to maintain its momentum.
Recap of Episodes 3 & 4:
In Episode 3, Eve (Gong Hyo-Jin) and Kung-su (Oh Jung-se) embark on a dangerous spacewalk to fix a solar panel, but a tear in Eve’s gloves puts her life at risk. Gong Ryong (Lee Min-Ho) saves her in Episode 4, confessing his feelings in a vulnerable moment. However, Eve’s cold response complicates their relationship further.
Reasons for the Decline:
1. Unrelatable Romance: The space setting lacks the emotional depth fans expect from K-dramas.
2. Unrealistic Plot: A doctor falling for a chaebol’s daughter and ending up in space feels hard to connect with.
3. Mixed Visual Quality: While some scenes shine, others fail to live up to expectations.
Despite these challenges, fans are hopeful the show will regain its spark in upcoming episodes.
