A new life has come between Lee Min-ho and Gong Hyo-jin.
In the 15th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Ask the Stars,' which aired on the 23rd, viewers were surprised as the dinosaur (played by Lee Min-ho) and Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin) successfully became pregnant in microgravity space, separated by the atmosphere.
The dinosaur, who conducted a forbidden experiment in space, ultimately lost Morula and was abandoned by the MZ Group, suffering not only the revocation of his medical license but also a huge amount of compensation payments, as well as a suspended sentence, leaving a feeling of sorrow. Compounding the situation, the dinosaur declared a breakup with Eve Kim, who decided to discard Morula, leaving him with nothing.
Similarly, Eve Kim, who was released from her commander position, faced increased shock as she was about to have her space scientist qualifications revoked. However, as Eve Kim had a mission to repair the broken space station, she went up to the space station to carry out her final mission without any break.
Being unable to relieve her fatigue from numerous experiences, Eve Kim began to feel her physical condition change drastically while carrying out her mission at the space station. Feeling something unusual, Eve Kim took out the pregnancy test stored in the space station module and froze upon seeing the clear two lines indicating pregnancy.
Due to the unbelievable reality, Eve Kim even conducted an ultrasound examination and confirmed the pregnancy by sending the footage to the gynecologist Jeon Yi-man (played by Lim Sung-jae). Unlike Earth, where no one has ever been pregnant or given birth in microgravity space, surgical procedures are impossible, so it is crucial for her and the baby's safety to return to Earth.
However, upon hearing that the fetus could die during the descent to Earth, Eve Kim ultimately chose to stay on the space station. This was because the guilt of discarding the Morula created by the dinosaur still lingered in her heart, and she could not make another choice that would lead to the death of a new life.
Caught in the pressure and fear of having to accomplish a difficult task alone, Eve Kim repeatedly attempted to inform the dinosaur, the father of the child, about the situation. However, the dinosaur, who was deeply depressed, avoided Eve Kim's calls, leading to a bittersweet situation. It seemed as if the fetus in her belly noticed Eve Kim's anxious heart, as its heartbeat began to race unusually fast, increasing the tension.
At the same time, back on Earth, Jeon Yi-man, Eve Kim's physician, was struggling to inform the dinosaur about Eve Kim's pregnancy. The dinosaur, having already firmly closed his heart, attempted to ignore the news, but he could not overlook the ultrasound and messages sent by Eve Kim that appeared on Jeon Yi-man's mobile phone. The episode of 'Ask the Stars' concluded with the stark contrast of the rapidly beating heartbeat of the fetus captured in the black-and-white ultrasound image and the shocked expression on the dinosaur's face.
It remains to be seen how the dinosaur will react upon seeing the ultrasound sent by Eve Kim, and people are curious about the future of the dinosaur and Eve Kim, who finally bear the fruits of their love after their separation.
The final episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Ask the Stars' will air tonight (23rd) at 9:20 p.m.
