The new teaser opens with Eve Kim saying, “You’ll know when you come out here to space, a vastness that has no beginning or end. Here, everyone weighs zero grams.” As a tourist Gong Ryong grapples in adapting to life in space. He enquires in frustration, “When will I finally get used to this wretched zero gravity?” Eve Kim then complains about having to play the nanny to a bothersome Gong Ryong. She quips, “To put it bluntly, do I have to play parent to a tourist?” However, as the two spend more time together, things soften between them. Subsequently, Eve Kim tells him about the responsibility that comes with her post. She explains, “In the case of an emergency, the commander is the person that has to die first.”

The clip then draws parallels between Eve Kim’s work as a commander to Gong Ryong’s work as an obstetrician. Eve says, “There is no rule as important as protecting and creating life. “We came here to live together. You trust me, right?” The video concludes with Gong Ryong reassuring a patient, “Don’t worry, I’m your doctor.” Following his lead, Eve Kim declares, “I’m your commander.”
