This was a truly wonderful post. In theory I’d like to create like this also – taking time and true work for making a great posting… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never appear to get something done.

it’s really sadness….. unbelievable …. i’m really shocked when i know that Park Yong Ha was dead. I can’t say anything …………
I only can say this message : …. for everybody …. artist or not artist, if you have something problem… trouble… something wrong with your life… that you can’t handle that…. just remember that GOD CAN HELP YOU, just Pray in Faith and GOD Will answered … he will help you to handle any problem ….., or you can share with your family, friend, or anybody who you trusted…. Just Don’t do the wrong way (suicide) cause God doesn’t like that way, and you will never see the HEAVEN if you do that….
Remember GOD LOVE YOU and GOD NEVER LEAVE YOU…. FOREVER

“On Air” (2008-March-5 to 2008-May-15) had almost prophesised Jang Ja Yeon would, by the following year 2009, commit suicide due to severe depression caused by sexual exploitation.

I love this drama. I like all characters, especially Kim Ha Neul. When i was watching this drama for the first time the one who attracted me the most was Oh Seuong Ah ( thanks so much that was Kim Ha Neul) a lonely girl in a big world. I’m the one that love her from far away. I’m gonna be Kim Ha Neul’s fan for long time more.

this is a very good drama series on the making of a korean tv drama – the twists and turns of events because of the egos of people in the industry, etc. you could see how the industry can be dirty. since i watched it recently, episode after episode at you tube (sbs free vod), at one point i got a headache i stopped watching because i felt the frustrations depicted, i would have decided to shut down the project if i were the person in charge. anyway, it’s a 9/10!
August 15th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
Watched Secret Garden: Loved it. City Hall: Loved it. A Gentleman’s Dignity: Loved it. Now I’m marathoning On Air: And it’s just awesome. Kim Eun-sook is just the best drama writer for me. On Air is so interesting because you see how a drama is made from A to Z, with all the struggles, hurdles and joys. The characters are complex and touching. The OST is great, like always. And it’s beautifully shot. Granted, I’ve only watched 6 eps by now but wow…

I love this drama 🙂
August 24th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
@mystisith Yep KHN is way better here than in AGD, she was great with that b** role and loved everything about the drama back then. Became a fan of Park YH from this drama actually, may he RIP. My favourite parts from this drama were when they sang Shanghai Shanghai on stage, at a closing/farewell party, I think and at a campfire where they played a game and KHN sang!? These scenes are still stuck in my head after all this time 😀

The screenwriter may be famous but
I am having a hard time wTching this movie.!it rely drags
September 10th, 2012 at 9:34 am
I do not care for Kim Ha Neul. She does not have presence and she is not pretty. Her voice drives me crazy.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:49 am
Geez Kim Ha Neul looks really weird as a high school student. Her hair is do strange it makes her look ugly.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:52 am
The script writer in this drama must have had someone real on mind when she wrote the role of the screen writer in the movie.she is certainly obnoxious. Guess that screen writers in Korea have a lot of leverage

The womannplaying Cherry gets on my nerves!
November 30th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
i loved the drama.i got to wonder if that’s what actors go through in the real world also if that’ s how hectic it is to finish producing or directing a drama.though it was a drama it looked like they were really experiencing what was happening to them.this was a great drama nice work

Hi—I finished watching ON AIR dvd on 20 May 2013.Since I liked Park Young-Ha’s natural look acting and good look,I googled his name to find his artistic performances.Then I found he passed away on 30 June 2012 by commiting suicide.Its too late to comment about his death.As a buddhist I wish you to be free from sufferings.I hope this is your last life of born and death.I will always share my merits to you,that’s the only thing I can do for you,Park.
Thank you for all your entertainments providing to us.Love You!!!
