Broadcasting station, especially television drama production, is often called as the core of desire and materialism. TV station is the place of envy for many people, but they also criticize it as the place where unethical thoughts are generalized. However, those who work in drama production team are not different from us; they are common people who need love and care just like others. Most of Korean dramas are focused on family problems and troubled relationships between lovers. However, for the moderners, workplace is where they spend most of their time. If one fails to build decent relationships with others in his workplace, it would be hard to read his life as a success. “Worlds Within” will bring out the stories of drama production staffs; the warm, touching stories of their love and life.

Main Cast :

Hyun Bin as Jung Ji Oh

With couple successful dramas under his belt, his works enjoyed both high ratings and critical acclaims.
He is a sensitive, righteous, caring and passionate guy. Looked up upon by many colleagues as a role model. He loves movies, aspires to be a movie director. But he can't live without a steady monthly wage for the time being. He has thoughts of leaving the TV station and works for production companies on a commission basis for a higher pay, but he felt they regard dramas as money making machines, therefore, he didnt leave... ..no, to be frank, maybe he's afraid of the harsh world out there.

Song Hye Kyo as Joo Joon Young

She garners a lot of attention as a new PD at the station. She is st forward, with a passion with her work. She has a comradery with her coworkers. She is enjoying a satisfying love life. She is a confident, considerate PD. Hardly anyone realizes she can get her heart tugged by sth quite trivial. She just wants to be regarded as a confident colleague in this world of PDs dominated by men, a rival to be reckoned with, instead of the pity and exagerrated attention.
