WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

INCOMING CALL

YI-MANIAC

Hey!

How do you feel? Are you okay?

I'm so embarrassed

I don't think I can leave the CQ.

I don't think I'll ever be able to leave

this tiny room.

Why not?

What did you do now?

Santi.

I didn't see anything! I know nothing.

Nice, juicy muscles.

From now on, I'm lying low.

I'm going to keep my distance.

I'm going to keep a low profile,

make the IVF a success,

and go back as fast as I can.

YESTERDAY

Oh, my God!

Eve, only you can see it now.

Only you can see it!

…you were really going to die--

The accident that could've ended with

just me dying almost k*lled two people.

Have you been drinking?

Yeah.

Look, what did I do that was so wrong?

Even if I could go back,

I'd do the same thing.

Open up the hatch,

jump out like an idiot, and save you.

Would I have been rewarded

if I had let you die

while decompressing and suiting up?

What I did was good.

I did the right thing.

Give me a pat

and tell me I did the right thing.

Come on, just say thank you.

Where did you get the alcohol?

Is it okay if I like you?

No?

- You're drunk.

- I'm not drunk at all.

Is that okay?

It's not okay.

Think about it before you answer.

I'll give you some time.

Hey!

I don't need time.

It's a question

that doesn't deserve consideration.

You come here drunk and talking nonsense.

Why should I answer that?

We both have partners.

Are you crazy?

Actually,

you've been acting crazy all day.

All day long, from the minute

you jumped out into space to save me.

And then you had a drink,

which is off-limits…

Are you crazy? Are you nuts?

Just shut your mouth and go to sleep.

Does it make you feel better

to dismiss this

as me just being a stupid drunk?

You can't even get drunk up here.

A few drops of alcohol

just made me a bit braver, is all.

Get out.

I'm going back down in a few days.

You won't be back for a year,

so I have to say this now.

I can't go back to Earth

pretending like nothing happened here.

I don't want to lie to myself.

Leave.

- Get out.

- Come on, wait a second.

- Get out! Now!

- Just wait.

Get out.

I said get out!

Come on, Commander.

Commander.

Hello?

Mr. Gong?

Mr. Gong, are you sleeping?

He really put a dent in it.

You scared me!

Why did you open the door?

Curious if I left?

No, I'm not curious.

What the hell?

What's with you?

Seriously, what's wrong with you?

Stop it, I'm serious!

I came in because you opened the door.

If you hadn't,

I wouldn't have been able to come in.

I'm not that bold or shameless.

Thank you.

It's because you were annoying me.

If you hadn't left,

I would have kicked you out.

It's nice

that you were curious.

Come on, do you know how hard it was

to work up the nerve to come and tell you?

It'd be so unfair to be kicked out

without finishing what I came to say.

I'm not expecting you

to answer on the spot.

I know how strange I'm acting.

As an ob-gyn,

I only see women

in the OR, exam room, and ER.

I'm always in one of those places,

surrounded by pregnant women,

so I only see women as patients.

But this weightlessness

has done something to my heart.

You made me like this.

You slapped me silly

and made me like this.

You and zero gravity are responsible.

Let me slap some sense back into you.

Come here.

Whoa! I don't care how much I like you.

I'm not getting slapped again.

Listen carefully.

In four days, after you go back to Earth,

I'm never going to see you again. The end.

You know how strong alcohol is up here?

But you drank it anyway, and then, this.

You break into the commander's room,

and then go and hit on the commander.

This is unacceptable.

I'm reporting this

to IOU Mission Control immediately.

Be prepared.

Go ahead, report it.

Then the whole world will find out

that the tourist likes the commander.

What will the crew think of me

if they find out about this?

"She's getting involved with a tourist

who's only here for a few days?"

The idea of me getting tangled up

with the fiancé of a wealthy heiress

is utterly mortifying.

It's appalling.

I'm going back to being a doctor

and cutting ties with MZ Group.

I'm not comfortable being part of MZ.

Plus, it doesn't suit me.

I'm just a tourist

who's here for a few days,

so I get why it would be hard

for you to open up to me.

Plus, you're taken.

So, of course, right now it's impossible.

But,

a year from now,

if you find yourself alone,

think of me.

If you're with someone better than me,

then keep him.

But if I get lucky and you're stuck

with a bunch of losers, then…

maybe we can date.

I'll wait.

Don't do that either.

Who says you get to wait?

No thanks.

You absolutely cannot have

feelings for me.

This is an order.

"You absolutely cannot have

feelings for me."

Does an order like that exist in space?

You're not even in the same league

as the guys I know.

Am I so unattractive?

- That's correct.

- In what way?

- In every way.

- Every way?

Yes, in every way.

Fine.

I got it.

You don't look like you get it.

I'm not an idiot.

Get some rest.

Where did you get the alcohol?

- From the observation module?

- No.

- Did Santi give it to you?

- No.

After I report this to MCC,

I'm going to find the booze

and the culprit.

Understood?

No.

Santi!

Santi!

I'm so sorry.

You guys almost got caught

because of me. Sorry.

Oh, you mean the drinks?

I'm an expert at not getting caught.

Where is the drink?

Ta-da.

We don't have any experiments

going on right now.

So, nothing to cultivate,

and they keep it shut down.

Isn't this an incubator?

It is an alcohol storage for now.

Maybe other astronauts can use it.

Nah, why would they?

They probably forgot

I have this over here.

They have the same exact machines

on that side as on this side,

but those are way newer.

They would never come over here

to use the ones on this side.

Santi?

This bottle…

Let's hide it in a safer place.

A safer place?

Yes.

The commander first suspected you.

How about we hide it somewhere else?

Not the observation module

where you sleep, right?

Do you get what I'm saying?

I got you.

SEOUL, 4:27 A.M. ILS 7:27 P.M.

Change the water

and go to sleep, Seung-jun.

ILS needs to sleep so we can go home.

Please, let us get some rest.

Okay.

I think I saw mold growing

on the Japanese mustard greens.

Can you ask Mina to check it?

I can't reach her.

She's probably sleeping

because she's tired.

But it'll probably spread.

You won't be satisfied

until you wake her up, will you, Si-won?

Yup.

But how?

He saw it for a split second.

How did Mr. Gong know

that was Kang Kang-su's ticket?

The same thing is written

on a picture in Dr. Kang's bedroom.

"Stand by me"?

Oh, my God.

Do you know

how embarrassed I was as an astronaut

to be caught

like that in front of a tourist?

I want to crawl into the butthole

of one of Dr. Kang's fruit flies and hide.

First of all, calm down.

Calm down.

He told me I could keep it

and that he wouldn't tell Dr. Kang.

But how can I believe him, Dona?

On top of that,

he wants me to do him a favor.

He's letting me have 500 billion.

Just imagine what he'll ask for in return!

Well, it's not like

he would ask you to k*ll someone.

Just do whatever he asks!

I've only known him for four days.

He just went outside

without a spacewalk suit on

and jumped into space. He's nuts.

How am I supposed to know

what a lunatic like that is going to ask?

Damn it.

Dona, I'm so scared. I feel like Dr. Kang

is going to come for me any second.

I'm so anxious that I can't breathe.

Screw the 500 billion won,

even if you gave me a trillion won,

I can't.

I'm just going to give back

the lottery ticket.

Hey.

Wait. Hang on, Mina!

Mina, wait a minute. Mina!

So let's say we keep it.

We only have a month

to claim the winnings, right?

I'm not on the manifest to go back on

the G.O-10 when it leaves in a few days.

Only Santi, Kang Kang-su, and Gong Ryong

are scheduled to go back down.

How do we claim this money?

I'll alter your chart to show

that your hormones are out of whack.

They'll have to send you back first,

and I'll make it happen.

Are you out of your mind?

Aren't you a doctor?

If we get caught,

we're both finished in this industry.

Dona, the money

is getting to your head. Oh, God.

Forget it.

There's no way we can claim this money.

I'm going to give it back.

Bye.

Hey, wait.

Mina!

Where the hell is it?

Dr. Kang, I have something to tell you.

Dr. Lee!

What are you two doing up

instead of sleeping?

Do you have a new pair of micro scissors?

Why?

Can't you just lend them to me?

Why do you always have to ask why?

I don't have any.

If you don't have any, then why ask why?

Dr. Kang, I have something to tell you.

Again with the gloves.

When you touch moldy greens,

they get covered in spores.

How many times have I told you

to use them once and discard them?

What if those spores

contaminate my fruit flies?

Proper disposal of gloves after use

is essential for scientists.

Why would you carry those around?

How much money do you think you're saving?

And my micro scissors.

You used them on your tomatoes,

and now they're damaged.

They don't work with precision anymore,

so I end up doing my work twice.

I didn't damage your scissors.

Did you think I wouldn't notice

if they were off by 0.00001 mm?

They've only been like that

since you used them.

I sterilized the gloves and--

What did you want to say?

Who the hell put this mouse food here?

Those damn mice eat like pigs.

Hey.

What were you going to say?

What?

Want me to buy you more gloves?

They cost nothing.

I'll get you an unlimited supply,

so how about we stop nagging about money?

You're a scientist. Gloves, seriously?

Were you born a jerk, Dr. Kang?

What did you say?

What, so a scientist asks, "Why?"

Is that such a bad thing?

Isn't "why" the word

that should be most frequently used

by a scientist?

Why are you bragging about being rich?

For the love of God, why?

Come on. Why are you two being like this?

That's what you wanted to tell me?

Yes!

No!

Yes!

Don't throw them in there.

The spores could fly around

and k*ll my fruit flies.

I told you, I sterilized them!

Dispose of them in your lab.

This trash bin is for public use.

I don't care how much money you have.

This trash bin doesn't belong to you.

It's for the whole planet, got it?

Even if I were drowning in debt,

this trash bin would be

public property for everyone on Earth,

including me, okay?

She's so damn loud.

KOREA SPACE AGENCY

Why is my hand tingling?

It feels like it's going numb.

- Tae-hui.

- Yeah?

Can I have this watch someday?

Why?

Isn't this supposed to be passed down

to the best student?

I'll wear it for a bit,

then pass it down to her.

Let go of my hand already.

You're so bossy.

Eve, what did you eat today?

What? I…

I… Well…

I don't remember.

What?

You don't remember

your last meal on Earth?

My mind is blank, Commander.

That's totally normal.

That's how I was on my first flight.

Eve, you worked really hard to get here.

Today, just sit back and enjoy.

Yes, Commander.

Here, take a look.

That space suit really suits you.

Beautiful, right? Don't you think?

Dong-a, please.

See? I mean it.

That idiot doesn't deserve this.

I thought you were going to call Eve.

She's not answering. Must be asleep.

When will you be done with the handover?

At this rate,

you'll be coming in every day.

I've been here for over three years.

I need time to say goodbye.

I really hate that you're leaving.

Hi, Ryong.

- Go-eun.

- I'm sorry.

I announced our engagement

without talking to you.

It must've been a shock.

I'm sorry.

I'm a lousy guy.

Why would you say that?

You're doing a great job.

You managed to do the surgery,

and you're doing so well, so why?

I'm the one who's sorry

Kang Kang-su stepped in and took over.

I'm too embarrassed to face you.

So, why would you say that?

I…

I'm not good enough for you.

That's not true.

It's not because of Kang Kang-su,

it's because of me.

I…

am not getting engaged to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

FLAVORS OF THE MOUNTAIN, SEA, AND SKY

CLOSED FOR LUNCH TODAY

I can't do a good reading if I'm hungry.

Wait.

Have some water.

Unlucky, really unlucky.

This guy is really unlucky.

Is he really your son?

- Yes.

- Yes.

He is like a solitary pine tree

standing alone on a rock.

He has no luck with parents,

no luck with money,

and no luck with his career.

Forget that. Does he have luck with women?

You cut this out.

How did he meet someone like her?

Her lineage has brought her great fortune.

She has it all.

Wow, her face

has money written all over it.

Of all the faces I've seen,

hers is the most auspicious.

Okay, so her face is auspicious.

Are you saying they don't suit each other?

No.

They'll have a happy marriage.

He marries her,

and everything she has becomes his.

A match made in heaven.

A match that happens

once in a thousand years.

- Wow, a thousand years.

- It all becomes his.

Forget a hundred.

So what you're saying is,

they don't suit each other,

but they'll be happily married?

Are you saying our son will be respected

and get to call the shots?

He's already calling the shots.

She's more into him.

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

So, which of you is his mom?

You're the fortune teller. Take a guess.

That's easy.

Only one of you has had a baby.

Did you get through to the space station?

I'm not good enough for you.

I…

am not getting engaged to you.

What do you want to eat?

You go first.

Get in.

What floor?

You need to press the button.

Are you expecting me to press it?

I said, what floor?

I made a mistake yesterday. I'm sorry.

Ryong and I will spend the rest

of our lives trying to make it up to you.

Ryong feels the same way.

You liked Kang-su too.

You liked him, but now you hate his guts.

Over time, you'll hate Ryong too.

Ryong doesn't like you

as much as you like him.

- I know.

- You do?

What's wrong with you?

What could you possibly lack?

Are you missing a nostril?

Are you missing an eye?

Why isn't the daughter of Choi Jae-ryong

being showered with love?

Why is she clinging to a man?

You think I like Kang-su

because of his deep pockets?

It's because his feelings for you

are much deeper than Ryong's.

Kang-su stole the eggs and sperm

to bring Ryong down.

He's trying to show off,

but he's got nothing to show.

He's never going to pull it off.

- One last breath. Can the father help too?

- Yes.

Last one, breathe.

Breathe.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

You're parents now.

Dr. Jeon.

Have you heard from Dr. Gong?

Is everything okay?

Oh, I meant to get in touch with you.

I had a lot of deliveries scheduled.

Ryong is fine,

and he successfully retrieved the eggs.

He pulled it off

without anyone catching on.

Then Dr. Gong

can work on the procedure too.

What a relief.

Have you had lunch?

I knew it, you haven't eaten again.

Let's grab lunch.

Ryong almost died trying to get them back.

He risked his life,

so you need to eat properly.

You're right. Let's go.

I hope Ryong succeeds

and brings Kang Kang-su down a peg.

I trust Dr. Gong.

I know he'll get the job done.

I need you to come with me.

Chairman Choi is asking for you.

RESTRICTED AREA

For it to be a pregnancy,

the fertilized egg must look like this.

I got a message saying that

six of the seven eggs

Dr. Kang worked on were fertilized.

Six of them are pregnancies?

Yes, sir.

We've never had a successful

fertilization here. Congratulations.

If the last one fertilizes too,

won't that make seven?

Kang-su's the man.

I knew he could pull it off.

See, Go-eun?

I told you Kang-su could do it.

Ryong couldn't do it

even after multiple attempts,

but Kang-su did it on his first try.

Do you still think you're right?

Hey, send me pictures of my grandchildren.

Pardon?

Forget those pictures

of other people's fertilized eggs.

I want pictures of my grandchildren.

The ones my son and my daughter-in-law

are going to have.

Oh, right.

I'll pass the request along to Dr. Kang.

Now, we freeze them,

ship them back to Earth,

and then implant them

in my daughter-in-law, correct?

So, it's all finished now, isn't it?

We're done, right?

How do you feel, Min-jeong?

Given that you were upset with me

for changing your primary doctor

without your consent,

I'm going to ask for your approval

in front of everyone.

You said you were the mother, right?

You said you were in charge?

You said you'd make the decisions?

So, what do you say?

Should we tell Kang-su to stop?

You decide.

Are you going to reject

what Kang-su has achieved?

Answer me.

If you say you want to continue, we will.

Otherwise, I'll tell him to stop.

Should we continue?

Have they developed into morulas?

Min-jeong.

Morulas?

Once a fertilized egg

has divided into 16 cells,

it is then called a morula.

At this stage,

it can implant in the uterus.

When does that happen?

It could happen as early as tonight.

What do you want to do?

Still going to insist on Ryong?

Should we turn off the incubator?

Thank you.

Father.

It's done.

Go-eun, it's over.

What time is it there? Isn't it morning?

GONG RYONG'S 5TH DAY

You're really not going to say anything?

You're not going to ask

to split the money or anything?

That's right.

You said, "No questions asked."

What is it you need my help with?

You don't want me to ask

or question you about it,

and just do as you say.

What on earth is it?

What, do you really

want me to k*ll someone?

I can't do it.

I'm going to turn myself in to Dr. Kang.

It's the opposite.

I want you to save someone,

the same way we saved that mouse.

Tell me what it is right now.

It's simple.

All you have to do is hold my legs.

What?

Sueños húmedos,

cabalgata caliente…

Dirty confessions.

Morning.

Yeah.

That sucks

having to do this every day,

every morning.

Yeah, I'm sick of it too, man.

I…

I miss my wife.

I miss my home.

You said you wanted to get

a new house, right?

Yeah. I mean, I want to.

Then you will need

money, right?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Okay.

KING OF MONEY

How's Male Mouse 1's mate

back on Earth doing?

His mate

is eating, sleeping, and playing well.

She's doing great.

Her coat shines.

She's also chubby and pretty.

Male Mouse 1

had the best appetite and libido

of any mouse on Earth.

He had the strongest sperm.

He was truly exceptional.

That's why he went to space.

I have no idea how he'll ever recover.

Where's Chief Kang?

She's not in yet.

Really?

Who could be calling?

I wonder who it is.

Maybe it's something urgent.

Looks like they hung up.

Dong-a, hang on a second.

You can call them later.

That tickles!

Stop it. Hang on. Time out.

I heard rumors that you were into Eve.

Did I hear wrong?

It's true?

No.

I don't think Eve is interested in men.

She doesn't seem to be dating anyone.

Applying to go away

for a year says it all.

Eve doesn't know much about men.

Cut it out.

Aren't you going to go to work?

Stop it, come on.

Come on, stop.

Where's the bottle of liquor?

Where did you hide it?

I don't know.

You're always lying.

Why do all men do that?

I have nothing more to say.

This liar is going to leave now.

They're worse than animals.

Men who betray women are absolute trash.

They're foul and repulsive.

They make me sick to my stomach.

What?

We've been here for how long?

When their partner is out of sight,

do men just toss aside

their faith, loyalty, and trust?

Are they just mammals

that throw everything away

when they take off their pants?

Do men just like any woman they meet?

Please stop.

I get it, okay?

Turning me down is one thing,

but aren't you being a little harsh?

Do you actually want to see me

die of embarrassment?

Should I show you how

to die in space from humiliation?

Being classified as a mammal alongside men

is absolutely mortifying for me.

That's all.

Yes, I am a mammal!

What?

What?

CHIEF KANG TAE-HUI

Seriously…

Hi.

Hey, you called.

What's up?

Is something wrong? Why did you call?

I think there's booze onboard.

At the space station?

Who's the culprit?

Do you think Mr. Gong took it up there?

Is it soju?

Whisky? Cognac?

Lee Seung-jun…

It's Santi, right?

I haven't found the bottle.

They're denying it.

When I wanted

to install a camera in every module,

they complained about their human rights.

Now I know why.

Do whatever it takes

to find evidence, okay?

If you can't control them from the start,

the entire year will be hell.

If they conduct experiments in secret,

disobey orders,

shift the blame onto others,

and ignore the manual,

it will quickly become chaos.

Let me tell you,

when I first took command,

I caught someone drinking alcohol

they had hidden.

Sometimes, the experienced ones

think they have the right

to overstep boundaries.

In cases like that, don't hesitate.

Report it immediately.

After they were disciplined,

had their pay cut,

and were passed over for promotions,

they fell in line real quick.

After that,

being commander was a piece of cake.

Right.

They obviously hid it

in the observation module.

Search every inch of it.

I will.

What? Mammal?

What was that about?

DR. NA MIN-JEONG

Hi, Dr. Na.

I have the eggs and sperm,

and I found an incubator.

If I work on it tonight, they should be

morulas by the time I leave.

Don't worry.

You just take care of your health.

Don't do it.

What?

Dr. Kang Kang-su can take over.

What are you talking about?

I changed my mind.

If you get caught, you'll be in danger.

Don't worry about me. I can get this done.

If you get caught,

it could jeopardize Dr. Kang's work.

I've got to go.

Wait, Dr. Na?

DR. GONG RYONG

MISSED CALL

I want to go home.

Yes!

KANG KANG-SU

Hey, Kang-su.

Sir, this is going to make you happy.

All seven of them

have undergone cell division

and developed into morulas.

They are ready to be implanted.

It's done.

Now we just have to freeze them

and take them back to Earth.

Congratulations, sir.

Lee!

Yes, sir.

I want you to take a picture

of my grandchildren right now.

Take their picture

and send them to me immediately.

I'm sorry?

I have to be the first

to see my grandchildren.

Do it right now!

We did it. It's done.

Yes, sir. Please give me a second.

From one to seven,

don't leave a single one out.

Do it now!

- Gather everyone.

- Yes, sir.

- Sir.

- Chairman Choi, you're here.

Who wants some fried chicken?

The first one…

A son.

The second…

A daughter.

Where is Santi?

Is he in the observation module?

He's not there.

Then he's in the observation module.

You lie every time you open your mouth.

I told you, I drank it by myself.

He should be collecting

a sample right about now.

Let's see if I'm right.

The sixth is a daughter.

And the youngest is a son.

Santi!

Commander.

Santi.

Commander, I'm the only one

you need to punish.

Santi doesn't know anything, I swear.

He's done already?

Where is he?

Come on, Commander.

Sir, I finished taking their pictures.

I'm sending you pictures of all seven

of your grandchildren right now.

I did it.

I told you, Santi has no idea.

He's innocent.

Stop lying, and stop following me.

Is Santi here?

Santi? Why?

Dr. Kang, are you hiding Santi here?

Dr. Kang.

I think they were drinking together.

Wait.

These are the wrong settings.

It's set to 37 degrees, 5% oxygen.

Won't the fruit flies die from the heat?

I'm doing a cell comparison.

I'm simultaneously investigating

both damaged human genes

and aging fruit fly genes.

Wait, didn't we agree

to share that information last time?

Why are you looking for Santi here?

Isn't this…

What is that picture?

Isn't it obvious?

It's an image of a fruit fly embryo

undergoing cell division.

The scale indicates

a measurement of 0.2 mm.

At 0.2 mm,

that's more the size of a human embryo…

Is that a morula?

A morula?

- Why is there a morula--

- Commander.

Did you fertilize that here?

You've been lying to us,

pretending to work on fruit flies.

You set the incubator

to 37 degrees and 5% oxygen

to culture human cells?

Commander, wait a minute, that--

Let go of me.

Dr. Kang.

Until now, no human egg

has ever been sent into space.

Because it's forbidden.

It's wrong to experiment

on humans, correct?

You of all people know

what we do to mice and fruit flies.

How could you do this

with human sperm and eggs…

You know it's against space law,

so how could you perform an ICSI?

Dr. Kang, have you lost it?

Do you think this is no different

from our countless other experiments?

You know why this is banned.

How could you even think about

creating a human being at a space station?

Eve, calm down.

Open that door.

Are you crazy?

Open it now.

Open the incubator door this instant.

Open the incubator door

before I bust it open.

Open it before I blow the door off,

you b*stard!

GUEST APPEARANCE BY BAIK JI-WON

WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

Just how did you bring the eggs

to the space station?

- Did you get caught?

- I'm sorry.

He's probably over his mate

back on Earth by now.

I have to succeed tonight, no matter what.

Ryong will listen to you.

We should give up.

I'll turn a blind eye

to the lottery ticket,

if you guys will turn a blind eye

to what I'm about to do.

Facing those risks

is the fate this life-form was born with.

This is all a result of my negligence.

I will take responsibility and step down.
