Just finished watching a relatively new Korean Drama called On Air.
It's quite entertaining, and having never really watched K-drama before, I guess I'll have to see how it pans out, if it meets the punch that the first episode delivers.
Basic summation of the first episode is that a scriptwriter has a grudge against a actress and she is a famous scriptwriter. The actress has issues too with her agent and where she wants to go. Other characters introduced into the mix thus far is a director who seems to have other issues at hand, and a bunch of attached people (i.e. the agents, production company staff, tv station chairpeople etc).
The dialogue is really cutting, very entertaining since it's not the usual niceties you may expect from normal conversation, but it is still cutting because of veiled content since Korean people generally speak in 'polite' forms and manner, so for someone to not be polite or to insinuate things even though they speak politely is considered quite rude. At least that is the take on it that I have.
It's listed as a 23 episode series, and so far episdoes 1-11 have been released though I only have fansubs for 1-9. See how it pans.
