]
Jang Ki-joon (
Lee Beom-soo
) used to be a top manager in the business but he went bankrupt as he couldn't compete with other powerful agencies. He was 'rescued' by Oh Seung-ah (
Kim Ha-neul
), a top star who agreed to join his agency after breaking off with her former one. Lee Kyung-min (
Park Yong-ha
) is a drama PD who gets his first chance at being a director. Seo Young-eun (
Song Yoon-ah
) is a much sought-after scriptwriter who is divorced and has a young son.
On Air
revolves around these four entertainment industry figures - a director, a writer, an actress, and her manager - as their personal and professional lives intertwine during the shooting of a drama. It also portrays how the whole production team and performers complete a project in a tight schedule as well as how actors, actresses, and entertainment agencies handle rumors surrounding them.
