In tvN’s weekend drama “When the Stars Gossip,” Gong Hyo-jin played Eve Kim, a character who at times leads a space station with strength and command, and at other times displays warm humanity. She put great effort into maximizing the charm of her role.
Once again, Gong Hyo-jin showcased her versatility. She expressed her excitement for the role from the moment she received the script, intrigued by the opportunity to portray a female commander. She flawlessly brought Eve Kim to life, seamlessly shifting between her professional leadership and human vulnerability. With restrained expressions and measured speech, she portrayed the unique charisma of the expedition leader while also conveying the purity and delicate inner emotions of Eve Kim.
By vividly depicting the dramatic events unfolding in space, Gong Hyo-jin elevated the drama’s overall quality. Reflecting on her experience, she shared, “This was the most challenging and longest project I’ve ever worked on. It was my first time acting in a fully pre-produced drama, so the emotions I felt during filming were new and unfamiliar. However, it was an unforgettable experience in many ways.”
Once again proving her boundless acting transformation through “When the Stars Gossip,” Gong Hyo-jin remarked, “Just the fact that this drama made it to the screen after a long filming period and post-production process makes me feel like I’ve achieved everything I hoped for. Seeing all the completed scenes was a joy, and I deeply appreciate the staff’s hard work. With only two episodes left, saying goodbye makes this winter feel especially cold.”
She concluded by saying, “As an actress, I was drawn to the uniqueness of the story, and I hope viewers also enjoyed following along with this fresh and unconventional plot. I also hope they got to experience the diversity of Korean drama genres. To all those who loved ‘When the Stars Gossip,’ despite its unfamiliarity and raw honesty, I sincerely thank you.”
