The episode, which aired on the 26th, showcased Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo-jin) and Gong Ryong (played by Lee Min-ho), navigating the harsh reality of life and death. The pair faced unimaginable challenges, highlighting both their vulnerabilities and resilience.
In this episode, Eve Kim risked her life to save Gong Ryong. Despite confirming their feelings for each other through a heartfelt kiss, their struggle continued. A sudden debris collision left them stranded in the space station, cut off from safety. To conserve energy, Eve turned off all power except for the life support system. While stranded, Gong Ryong reassured her, saying, โIโll be there in two days. I have to go.โ
Meanwhile, on Earth, chaos ensued as officials scrambled to organize a rescue. Gong Ryong addressed the press, revealing that the spaceship carrying the escapees was headed toward Floridaโs open waters. The commander and tourists, however, remained trapped at the station.
Park Dong-ah (played by Kim Joo-hun) offered to join the rescue mission, but Gong Ryong reacted strongly, criticizing the proposal. Heated arguments erupted between them as tensions mounted. Park Dong-ah stood her ground, declaring that she wouldnโt hesitate to act if Gong Ryong showed any reluctance to save Eve.

Fighting Against Time and Cold
Back on the space station, Eve and Gong Ryong fought to survive as their situation worsened. With only 20 hours of oxygen left, the two waited anxiously for the rescue ship. Shivering in the freezing cold, Eve experienced a leg cramp, prompting Gong Ryong to enter her tent to offer warmth.
In a desperate attempt to combat the cold, Eve suggested they remove their clothes to share body heat. Although hesitant, Gong Ryong complied. He held her close, saying, โIโll keep you warm,โ while Eve instructed him to โjust follow the manual.โ
Amid the dire circumstances, Gong Ryong confessed a shocking secret. He revealed that he had brought the fertilized embryos of a wealthy couple, who were his patients. The couple had posed as tourists to undergo in vitro fertilization, and the embryos represented their hope for a child. He admitted to lying multiple times to protect this mission, saying, โI lied to you 100 more times because of this.โ
Eve, although drained of energy, responded with a mix of frustration and resignation. โThree people could die because of this,โ she said, acknowledging the gravity of their situation. Despite her anger, she urged him not to give up hope.
A Will to Survive
Determined to ensure the embryosโ survival, Eve suggested writing a will so that the rescue team could recover and preserve the embryos even if they didnโt make it. Gong Ryong, however, expressed contentment in spending his final moments with her. โIโm happy to freeze to death,โ he said, sharing a tender kiss with Eve.
Their connection deepened as they faced the possibility of death together. The pair found comfort in one another, clinging to the hope of rescue while reflecting on their shared struggles.
A Riveting Story of Love and Survival
When the Stars Gossip continues to deliver an emotional blend of suspense and heartfelt moments, this episode highlights the strength of human connection in the face of adversity. Fans eagerly await the next chapter of Eve and Gong Ryongโs journey, hoping for their safe return.
