On Air gets an extension on the basis of strengthening the romance story

The production company for SBS “On Air” has announced that they would be adding doing a drama extension. According to sources from SBS and production, three more episodes will be added making it a total of 23 episodes.

The ratings for “On Air” on average has been over the 20% mark and is currently the highest rated drama in the Wed-Thus timeslot. With viewers clamouring for more romance scenes between Kim Ha Neul, Lee Bum Soo and Park Yong Ha (so this means Song Yun Ah was never in the picture?!), the original 20-parter will get an extension of 3 more episodes. Their reason: To better flesh out the triangle love story and make the drama more perfect.

They added, “From the initial conceptualisation, we wanted viewers to see how a television station functioned in reality. So we didn’t include too many romance scenes. But like how the initial drama name was (One-sided love), the relationships between the main leads is also an important part of the story. So it’s essential that we have this drama extension to flesh out the romance to make it more complete. We haven’t decide on the intricate details yet but we will try our best to accomodate our viewers wishes.”
