Air City (Hangul: 에어시티; RR: Ae-eo Si-ti) is a 2007 South Korean television drama starring Lee Jung-jae, Choi Ji-woo, Lee Jin-wook, and Moon Jung-hee. It aired on MBC from May 19 to June 8, 2007 on Saturdays and Sundays at 21:40 for 16 episodes. The drama revolves around the work and romance of four airport personnel, showing the inner workings of the airline industry.
It was shot almost entirely at the Incheon International Airport, and as research for the script, four writers interviewed over 200 airport personnel over a two-year stretch.
Han Do-kyung (Choi Ji-woo) was especially scouted by the Incheon Airport director and willingly accepted one-third of the pay she was receiving in Singapore, to come back to Korea as the chief of operations of Incheon International Airport. She is level-headed, speaks five different languages, and remains cool and calm under all circumstances. However, Do-kyung lives with the emotional wounds caused by her estrangement from her sister Yi-kyung, a pilot (Lee Da-hee).
Do-kyung's unflappability is put to the test when she meets rash National Intelligence Service agent Kim Ji-sung (Lee Jung-jae). Acting on instinct whenever he thinks national security is at stake, he often breaks rules and ruffles feathers on the job, bringing him into constant contact, and sometimes conflict, with Do-kyung. After being stationed at the airport, he encounters doctor Seo Myung-woo (Moon Jung-hee), his ex-girlfriend who is now working at the airport clinic, with whom he parted on painful terms.
