It’s A-list actress versus A-list actress in a direct match up now confirmed for late summer 2016. KBS has signed on Kim Ha Neul to headline On the Way to the Airport in its Wed-Thurs time slot, pairing her up with already confirmed Lee Sang Yoon. Choi Ji Woo ultimately passed on the role but Kim Ha Neul has such a similar vibe it’s a seamless swap for me. Even bigger news is this being Kim Ha Neul’s first drama in four years since A Gentleman’s Dignity in 2012, that being one of Kim Eun Sook‘s comparatively lower rated dramas but still a sold hit. Kim Ha Neul’s return to television pits her against Gong Hyo Jin in the same time slot, with Gong Hyo Jin and Jo Jung Seok doing a workplace romance in Incarnation of Jealousy over on SBS. KBS may have more reason to want to win the ratings battle since there was tug-of-war over the Jealousy before it eventually landed with SBS. It’s a toss up for me and in cases like this I end up watching whichever one has the more engaging story, and hopefully it’s both to capitalize on casting such big name leading ladies.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

My favorite actress Gong Hyo Jin! Love her so much in Thank You and Master's Sun. But I don't like It's ok it's love storyline nor her noona-dongseng romance with KSH in Producer. I also like Lee Sang Yoon too. Agree with Koala, I should end up watching whichever has the more engaging story.
I luv both sets of leads, now it all comes down to good storytelling
Well, I don't know... Just wait for the one who'll give more promising stories. But I think Gong Hyo Jin will win for this.
Despite the A-list stars, all three networks (KBS's On The Way to the Airport, MBC's Shopping King Louis, SBS's Jealousy Incarnate) seem to have a weak lineup story-wise this fall. Yawn.
Disagree. Pasta writer is good, well written drama like my name is kim sam soon vibe.
Jo Jung Seok !!! I'm happy to see him in a drama :) He's one of my favourite actor, he's so versatile !
Otherwise, I love the both actress. I think I will watch the both dramas.
Gong Hyo Jin is my all time favorite actress. I am looking forward to her drama! She always makes it fun even if the plot isn't the best.
Huge fan of Kim Ha Neul here and I just can't wait to see her back on dramaland. This is her first on KBS (her very first drama is in SBS and her last drama before this is also from SBS) so I really hope this will turn out well.
Like Gong Hyo Jin too so I'm also looking forward to her new drama.
based on the actress, i prefer incarnation of jealousy. but i will have to wait for the story first to decide which one i will watch first
