Liar Game rivals reunite in a love triangle in On the Way to the Airport
by chickachunga
The first released still for KBS’s new romance drama On the Way to the Airport featured Kim Haneul (A Gentlemen’s Dignity) in her AirAsia flight attendant uniform, and now we get to see our male leads, Lee Sang-yoon (Twenty Again) and Shin Sung-rok (King’s Face), in their element as well.
Just as the teaser’s copy reads, “The best emotion that melodrama permits,” Director Kim Cheol-kyu (My Beautiful Bride) and Writer Lee Sook-yeon (One Fine Spring Day, April Snow) are looking to tell a deep and delicate love story about men and women in their second adolescence, dealing with marriage. The cast also consists of Choi Yeo-jin (Riders: Catch Tomorrow) and Jang Hee-jin (Mirror of the Witch) in supporting roles.
Lee Sang-yoon plays a university architecture lecturer named Seo Do-woo, whose profession and reserved demeanor are apparent from the stills. In one, he’s examining the model replica of a traditional Korean hanok house. In the other, he’s mid-lecture with a whiteboard of detailed hanok information behind him. He always seems to be playing a teacher of some sort in dramas these days.
Shin Sung-rok plays an airline captain with an Air Force background named Park Jin-seok, who is also the husband to Kim Haneul’s flight attendant character. The stills capture his authoritative presence augmented by his crisp pilot uniform, which he wears with aplomb.
Not the most exciting stills per se, but they do offer a glimpse of the contrast between our male leads and are in line with the look and feel of the sensitive melodrama. Lee Sang-yoon and Shin Sung-rok were rivals in Liar Game, and it looks like they will be again in Airport, this time for Kim Haneul’s heart.
On the way to the Airport is a Wednesday-Thursday KBS drama that will premiere on September 21.

Once I find out who is going to be flying the plane I would return my ticket, leave all my luggage and try to get away from that airport as fast as I can without making any contact.
You know a actor is amazing when a character he played years ago, still has such a strong impact.

Is it confirmed it will be a love triangle? I know the drama is supposed to question if men and women can be just friends *rolls eyes* but I don't know if I'm going to end up watching if the story is about adultery.

Is this the third time we see Lee sang Yoon in a university lecturer role? Liar game, twenty again, then this. If my profs looked like him, I'd go to class every day and even attend those lectures I'm not registered in.

I know I'll keep failing his course, not intentionally tho. I mean, its Lee sang yoon, ofcourse I have to fail. No amount of extra tutoring will help. This is the law of the universe.

Shin Sung-rok in uniform, I am booking that flight instantly, evil could not be sweeter! (Though I do think that the shirt could be tighter?)
Aye, Captain!
(I just realised I am sexually objectifying him, I feel bad. The internet is not a good place after 9PM for a lonely woman)

I love LSY-sshi.
But I squealed when I saw ShinRok. Just that smile with his eyes hidden throw me back to Liar Game.
2nd picture had me thinking about Trot Lovers & Lovers of Six Years.
3rd picture isn't my favorite angle but YWCftS 100%.
I hope he's playing nicer roles like the middle two. Villians are epic but loving SSR is amazing.
Can't wait to have them both back!

It's nice to see certain actors reunite -- Shin Sungrok and Lee Sangyoon here, Kim So-eun and Song Jaerim in another... but it would be even better if they all reunited in one big drama! And then maybe they can call it LIAR GAME 2...
A girl can dream :\ at any rate, this drama seems fun.

Yeah right, like I'm gonna believe SSR isn't masquerading as a pilot just to kill a bunch of people as part of some psychologically-twisted, heinous game.
Also AirAsia? They're using a real airline? That isn't korean?
