In the fifth episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 「Ask the Stars」 (written by Seo Sook-hyang, directed by Park Shin-woo), Eve Kim (Kong Hyo-jin) discovered a human embryo secretly made by Kang Kang-soo (Oh Jung-se). As a result, dark clouds have also cast over the future of dinosaurs (Lee Min-ho), who are carrying out the mission of human embryo growth, which is strictly prohibited by space law.
Earlier, the dinosaur became aware of his mind toward Eve Kim and confessed his heart to Eve Kim. Eve Kim, who felt embarrassed by the dinosaur confessing after drinking alcohol, which is a prohibited item to bring into the space station, hit an iron wall, but the dinosaur did not give up and continued to go straight, creating a dark history. Eventually, Eve Kim broke the dinosaur's mental state by asking about the person who gave him alcohol while pouring out vitriol.
Because alcohol is a prohibited item on the space station for everyone's safety, Eve Kim decided to find hidden alcohol and alcohol opponents herself as a commander. The dinosaur, who was worried that his friend would be in trouble because of himself, struggled to block Eve Kim's search, but Eve Kim was undaunted.
At the same time, Kang Kang-soo succeeded in fertilizing the eggs of Na Min-jeong (Baek Eun-hye), daughter-in-law of MZ Group, and the sperm of Choi Dong-hoon (Lee Doo-seok), who died, and was growing it in the form of Morula (early embryo stage). Kang Kang-soo, who was announcing the good news to MZ group Choi Jae-ryong (Kim Eung-soo), made even those who were in a hurry to hide the Morulas after seeing the sudden arrival of dinosaurs and Eve Kim.
Kang Kang-soo, who managed to put Morula in an incubator but could not even erase the picture of Morula on the screen, eventually found out to Eve Kim that she had made a human embryo in space. Like Kang Kang, dinosaurs, who were secretly attempting artificial insemination under the direction of the MZ Group, were watching the situation closely while holding their breath.
Dinosaurs and Kang Kang tried to distract Yves Kim, but after all the situation was understood, Yves Kim instructed him to open the incubator door, saying "Open this door before exploding it." Experiments of human sperm and eggs on the space station are legally and ethically prohibited, so neither Kang Kang-soo who tried this nor Yves Kim's commanding position is safe.
On the other hand, Kang Kang-soo also could not give up on Morula, who was barely successful, and if it was discovered that MZ Group ordered the experiment, it would have a huge aftermath, raising tensions against Yves Kim. I'm curious about how dinosaurs and Kang Kang-soo, who are on the verge of being caught in all secret missions, will cover up the situation.
Although the incident is getting more fun as it intensifies, the hearts of the viewers who have left have not yet returned. "Ask the Stars" recorded the highest ratings of 3.9 percent in the second episode and 1.8 percent in the fifth episode.(National standard for Nielsen Korea paid households)
