When the Stars Gossip Episode 10 took an intense turn Gong-ryong (played by Lee Min-ho) and Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin) returned to Earth. After surviving in space together, their bond deepened. Gong-ryong had even promised Eve that he would stay by her side forever. But once they landed back on Earth, reality hit them hard.
Their complicated emotions became clear when they faced their respective partners. Park Dong-ah (Kim Joo-hun) immediately confronted Gong-ryong. He didn’t hold back, warning him to stay away from Eve. His words were sharp: “You almost killed Eve. Don’t act like a fool. Your woman is Choi Go-eun, and Eve is my woman.” The warning made it clear that he wouldn’t let Gong-ryong interfere in Eve’s life.
Gong-ryong, who had been torn between his feelings, couldn’t say much. The tension between the characters was intense, leaving viewers wondering what would happen next.
Gong-ryong Ends His Relationship with Choi Go-eun
Meanwhile, another emotional moment unfolded when Gong-ryong finally decided to break up with Choi Go-eun (played by Han Ji-eun). In episode 10, she confronted him about his feelings for Eve Kim. She directly asked if he had kissed Eve. Instead of answering right away, Gong-ryong admitted his true feelings.
He told Go-eun to forget about him, calling himself a “philistine.” He explained that he had once accepted her love for selfish reasons. His goal had been revenge, not love. He had wanted to prove himself after being denied the chance to become an obstetrician and gynecologist. But despite his ambitions, he admitted that he had never truly loved her the way she deserved.
Go-eun refused to accept his words. She accused him of lying, trying to hold onto the relationship. But Gong-ryong was firm. He apologized for being honest too late, making it clear that he could no longer continue pretending.
Go-Eun, hurt and frustrated, responded with her pain. She insisted that if he truly had feelings for another woman, he should at least say it clearly. That way, she could fight for him and feel less miserable. Her emotional reaction showed just how much the breakup had affected her.
The dinosaur character admitted something shocking. He thought love would bring wealth and security. He believed he would fall in love after receiving someone’s heart. But when asked about marriage, he hesitated. Fear held him back. He worried about becoming a bad person if he accepted. Choi Go-eun, however, was not convinced. She responded sharply, calling his words a lie.
The dinosaur finally apologized. He admitted he was late in telling the truth. But Choi Go-eun wasn’t ready to forgive. Her pain was obvious. She told him to keep being petty if that’s what he wanted. Go-Eun struggled with her emotions, torn between anger and sadness. She knew the love she had wasn’t returned in the way she hoped.
Eve Kim’s Painful Realization
Eve Kim also had something to say. She looked at the dinosaur and made a decision. She wanted to erase everything that happened between them. To her, it was just a dream—something unreal. She had risked her life for him & had saved him. She had kissed him. But none of it mattered now.
She recalled everything they had been through. Even when he fertilized her egg, she didn’t feel anger. They had experienced the cold together. They had even been intimate. But to her, it wasn’t real. It wasn’t who she was.
Eve Kim reminded herself of reality. She told herself to wake up. The past ten days in space felt important, but they didn’t define her. There was a man on Earth who believed in her. Someone who waited for her. Eve didn’t want to hurt the people who truly cared. She made up her mind.
She had a mission. In a month, she was going back to space. Once she left, she would never think of the dinosaur again. She wanted to move forward. But he wasn’t ready to let go. He questioned her. Why was she denying her feelings? Who was she doing this for?
But Eve Kim had already decided. She knew what she had to do & she looked at him one last time and said her final words. She was done. Their story was over. For the ultimate When the Stars Gossip episode 10 experience, read this recap blog and join the conversation online!
