Every year, KEYEAST, which has become a content studio powerhouse, presents a variety of genres and dramas of new fun, and released the first lineup of dramas in 2021, which became even more powerful.

◆ < 별들에게 물어봐 >

If there was a'하이에나' in 2020, the tent pole drama representing KEYEAST in 2021 is the masterpiece drama'별들에게 물어봐'.

This work, which will continue the genealogy of K-romantic comedies that captivate global fans such as '사랑의 불시착' and '사이코지만 괜찮아,' is a '우주정거장 로맨틱 코미디' of space tourists and astronauts, with a total production cost of 400, including the construction of a space station set.
