Some 20 dramas are aired every week. There are daily dramas, morning dramas, weekend dramas… and Wednesday-Thursday dramas. In this "kingdom" of drama, "On Air", portrays how Korean soaps are made.

"On Air" is directed by Sin Woo-cheol and written by Kim Eun-sook, the creators of hit dramas "Lovers in Paris" (2004), "Lovers in Prague" (2005) and "Lovers" (2006). They teamed up again to give an exclusive behind-the-scenes view of Korean dramas.

"This is a drama about the people who create these dramas. Nowadays, Korean dramas are not only aired in Korea but in other countries as well. I wanted to write a drama about the processes and behind-the-scenes stories with a dramatic and exaggerative touch", said Kim at a press conference last week at SBS.

Kim Ha-neul plays an arrogant topnotch actress named O Seung-a. Recently starring in the movie "Lovers of 6 Years", Kim said "it was not easy to play an `actress' character, but I found Seung-a very ...

The blockbuster-making duo Sin Woo-cheol and Kim Eun-sook have teamed up again to create SBS' new drama "On Air".

Producer Sin and TV scriptwriter Kim masterminded the hit SBS dramas "Lovers in Paris" (2004), "Lovers in Prague" (2005) and "Lovers" (2006). Their biggest hit, "Lovers in Paris", which starred actress Kim Jeong-eun and actor Park Shin-yang, brought in a record viewer rating of 56.3 percent.

Now, Sin and Kim are pooling their talent to create an entirely new and refreshing miniseries. They started off by exchanging their trademark byword "lovers" for a much less romantic title, "On Air". And that's not the only thing different about their latest project.

"'On Air' is about how a drama is made", said Shin at a press conference last week. "It will start with the planning of a drama, to its casting, its filming, the airing of the first episode, the viewer ratings, and will go all the way through to the airing of the last episode. This drama will show the entire proces...

Actress Jeon Do-yeon will be making a cameo appearance in the SBS television drama series 'On Air' which is set to air on February 27th. This will be the first cameo appearance for the actress who will play herself in the series.

'On Air' which is actually set in a broadcasting company will feature Jeon Do-yeon as the top star who one of the leading characters Jang Ki Joon (played by Lee Beom-soo), an agent and manager, used to represent. Jeon Do-yeon finished filming the scene last month in Seoul.

Jeon Do-yeon's appearance was based on her relationship with the writer Kim Eun Sook and producing director Sin Woo-cheol who she worked with during "Lovers in Prague".

Sin Woo-cheol comments, "It probably wasn't easy for a top actress to agree to a cameo appearance but I am very thankful that she did so without hesitation. I believe she will give a significant positive impact to the series".

Kim Eun-sook comments, "It is a very short scene, but the role will leave a strong image...
