On Air Episode 1
On Air starring Kim Ha Neul, Song Yoon Ah, Park Yong Ha and Lee Bum Soo
From the makers of the popular Lovers trilogy (Lovers in Paris, Lovers in Prague, Lovers) comes a star-studded tale of the ins and outs of the entertainment industry itself. Beloved superstar Kim Ha Neul (90 Days, Time to Love) stars alongside, Song Yoon Ah (Hotelier).
When Korea's thespian sweetheart Oh Seong Ah, risks her career after refusing to accept the SBC Grand Prize co-awarded to her because she doesn't want to share it. With her fans rallying around her, she decides to shake things up even more, and fires her hotshot manager Jin Sang Woo (Lee Hyung Cheol). Seong Ah hires Jang Ki Joon (Lee Bum Soo), a former top-notch manager who quit the business years ago, saving him from bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Seong Ah's nemesis, Seo Young Eun (Song Yoon Ah), a bestselling scriptwriter of generic love stories, is attempting to write her first "serious" script, but it is not well accepted by her usual director. Furious, she promptly fires him and turns to young, rookie director Lee Kyung Min (Park Yong Ha), who has his own ideas on what she should write...

Enjoyed mostly. Will give smiles and tears. Actors good. Girl with Quirky and silly faces has very attractive side. Lead nice and lovely smile. Director was good - a Korean Johnny D.? or Brad P.? Slow at times and ending seemed dragged out to me. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Seem to feel somber after reading review of loss. Maybe made hard to ignore seeing a future tragedy? Sad. Line in show about 'All things will pass' , appropriate, if we can weather the storms. Show gives good view into difficulties, efforts and hard work to make a Drama. It makes me wonder if Companies appreciate the stress on their talent that brings them success?

I recommend this drama to those who like Hotelier!! Similar....interesting concept on seeing how a drama comes to life. I do agree with some viewers that the romantic pairing seemed wrong. Still worth your time. FYI Does anyone know if that was really Lee Bum Soo singing???

This isn't supposed to be a fast-paced drama, I'm really glad that they were able to cover about almost everything from celebrities, to their managers, and to those people who work behind the scenes. This is basically the reality of the entertainment field, especially in Korea. I said that because yes, one scandal, can end your career in a flash. Dealing with all of that plus those people around you that you think you are friends with can always be an issue as well. This drama was able to tackle about the struggles of all the characters and this won't be one of the highest rated dramas on 2008 if people can't relate to it. Overall, great story, awesome cast. I was very entertained. I wish they can make more dramas like this.

Wonderfully written acted and directed one of the best I've seen. I was a little worried towards the end but I'm happy with the ending both the main couples are together in the end they weren't as obvious with Ki-Joon and Seung-Ah but its definitely implied with what's said and the fact they hold hands onto the plane. On a side note this was the first thing I've seen Park Yong Ha in and the fact that he was so talented makes it doubly sad that he couldn't last in this world longer.

I enjoyed this drama and I really like the soundtrack. Breaks my heart that Park Yong Ha left this world after this one, What a sin! I hope his family is doing well as can be expected. So sad, he was one of my favorites since Winter Sonata. This story I thought was realistic...ups and downs of show biz.
