"On Air" is receiving love calls from Southeast Asia and China. The production company said, "The television rights have been sold to Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. We are almost finished with agreements with China".

"On Air", which began March 5 and ended May 15 with 21 episodes, is the story of drama producers and entertainers. Kim Ha-neul, Song Yoon-ah, Lee Beom-soo, and Park Yong-ha were the main characters. It was also popular for the cameo appearances of Lee Hyo-lee, Kim Jeong-eun, and Lee Seo-jin.
