Airports have long been part of K-drama narratives. There is always someone rushing to or from the airport, the scenes being crucial to the scenario unfolding around. As the flights take off and land, it translates as beginnings for some, the end for others, or just a brief pause in the scheme of things. From romantic embraces, tearful farewells, high-octane chases, and long-awaited arrivals to rushed getaways, we have seen it all.
There are several K-dramas where the airport has played a significant character in the storylines. So let’s take off and read about these seven airport-themed K-dramas.
A fight attendant and an architect, both married to different people, strike a friendship, which turns into something deeper and intense. Can they tread this complicated path or do they need to ground their relationship even before it takes off? Choi Soo Ah (Kim Ha Neul), a senior stewardess with an airline, is married to a domineering pilot named Park Jin Seok (Shin Sung Rok). Soo Ah is devoted to her daughter Hyo Eun (Kim Hwan Hee), who is sent off to boarding school in Malaysia by her husband. Seo Do Woo (Lee Sang Yoon) is an architect married to Hye Won (Jang Hee Jin), but their marriage lacks warmth, and the couple has nothing in common. However, Do Woo is a devoted father to their daughter Annie, who is also at the same boarding school as Soo Ah’s daughter.
Fly To The Sky
Tragedy strikes when Annie dies in an accident, and the lives of Soo Ah and Do Woo get entwined together. Soo Ah and Do Woo, who had first met on a flight, meet again and strike a friendship. Drawn toward each other, both of them are unable to resist the pull of attraction between them. Soo Ah decides to walk out of her marriage, and Do Woo ends his already crumbling relationship with Hyo Eun, but things only get tougher for the two. But given their circumstances, don’t they deserve a happily ever after? Or are they being selfish about putting their needs over others?
“On the Way to the Airport” is a highly underrated drama. Going beyond the conventional themes, it delves into the complexities of relationships. It’s a mature narrative as it raised several questions on couple equations, marriage, infidelity, and parenting. Plus, Kim Ha Neul and Lee Sang Yoon complement each other, giving unrestrained performances. You don’t want to miss this one.
Following the lives of the airport staff at Incheon Airport, the drama focuses on two employees at the airport. Yeo Reum (Chae Soo Bin) and Soo Yeon (Lee Je Hoon) work in the passenger service department. Soo Yeon, though on top of things at work, keeps to himself and does not mingle with the rest. Yeo Reum, on the other hand, has struggled to get to her position, and she works hard but constantly gets into trouble. When she is paired with Soo Yeon at work, things are awkward between the two. Yeo Reum finds Soo Yeon unusual and strange as if he is trying to guard a secret. As a matter of fact he is, and though he tries to hide it, his empathetic and helpful nature comes in the way, making him showcase his super power when he rather not. Soo Yeon and Yeo Reum’s love story is sweet in a heartbreaking way. She loves him for who he is, but his own insecurities keep coming in his way.

“Where Stars Land” was entirely shot at Incheon Airport, making it one of its kind. The show packs in a lot. Highlighting the plight of the airport staff, the often-abused “the customer is king” mentality, which translates to bullying and power play by customers over staff. And Lee Je Hoon once again excels in showcasing his acting chops as a man burdened with leading a normal life when the world does not allow him to.
Seo Do Jae (Lee Min Ki) is the executive director of an airline company. He’s an intelligent man who remains poker-faced in every situation. Always on his guard, this stems from his inability to recognize people as he suffers from Prosopagnosia (also known as face blindness). Do Jae, who is fending off family politics and power dynamics at the airport, meets a top star named Se Gye (Seo Hyun Jin). Se Gye has been regarded as a troublemaker in showbiz. But she too is hiding a secret. At a certain time in a month, Se Gye’s appearance changes to that of a different person. And after the usual bickering, a tender love story unfolds between them as they both accept and support the other for who they are.
“Beauty Inside” is a light-hearted rom-com, which comes with a deeply rooted message of self-acceptance and love. The chemistry between the two leads is easy as they give us a simple slice-of-life story.
