Korean "Long-legged Oppa" Lee Min-ho stars in a new drama titled "Ask the Stars," set in a space station. Despite its hefty production cost, the drama received poor reviews after just two episodes. In addition to being criticized for its fake CGI and dull content, it stirred controversy due to "misogynistic" lines!
Lee Min-ho plays an obstetrician who is a temporary space tourist at the space station, while Gong Hyo-jin plays the space station's commander. However, some of Lee Min-ho's lines include "I worked hard to get into medical school, only to see women’s wombs every day and deliver babies," "A mother’s womb is as comforting as alcohol," and "Aunts’ breasts are big and warm," which sparked controversy. One netizen commented, "It's already 2025, and yet there are still such misogynistic and vulgar lines!" The CGI effects in the drama were also criticized as being too fake.
Moreover, in the episode aired on the evening of the 5th, there was a scene where the male and female leads watched flies mate at the space station, and another scene where Lee Min-ho performed surgery on a white mouse. These scenes left viewers confused and prompted criticism of the plot as being dull, leading to the second episode having only a 3.8% viewership rating.
