KBS: New Drama “Worlds Within”

Whenever a series with a similar theme to a previous hit comes out, it is almost certain to get severely criticized.

KBS’ “Worlds Within,” a new drama that bears striking similarities to SBS’ “On Air,” will face judgment tonight when it airs its first episode.

Like “On Air,” this star-studded series tracks the drama production process. But unlike its predecessor – which revolved around a manager, an actress, a scriptwriter and a producer – “Worlds Within” focuses on the relationship between two program directors, played by celebrities Song Hye-kyo and Hyun Bin.

Through Song and Hyun’s characters, viewers will get an inside look into the world of television, with a bit of romance on the side.

But will it be compelling enough to nab the same high ratings as “On Air”?

KBS has done everything in its power to make sure “Worlds Within” does not flop.
