Ko Kyoung-Pyo as Song Ki-Baek and Kang Han-Na as On Woo-Joo lead JTBC’s “Frankly Speaking” through a whirlwind of professional chaos and comedic escapades. Ki-Baek’s journey from revered announcer to accidental TV sensation keeps viewers hooked as he helms the consequences of an impulsive outburst.
The show’s initial six episodes showcase Ki-Baek’s descent from the heights of professionalism to the unpredictable world of variety TV, thanks to Woo-Joo’s intervention. Kang Han-Na’s portrayal of the industrious scriptwriter adds depth to the storyline, especially as she grapples with the fallout of her actions.
“Frankly Speaking” defies convention by presenting Ki-Baek as a refreshingly outspoken character, earning him the title of “thoughtfully rude.” His candidness challenges the status quo, making for an engaging viewing as he confronts institutional shortcomings within JBC.
Despite its marginal uptick in viewership on May 23rd, the show’s recent dip to 1.2 percent nationwide ratings reflects its fluctuating popularity.
However, loyal fans can catch the final episodes on June 5th and 6th at 8:50 p.m. KST, where the fate of Ki-Baek and Woo-Joo will finally be revealed.
“Frankly Speaking” may be winding down, but its blend of career drama and romantic comedy ensures it will be remembered as a rollercoaster ride of laughter and intrigue.
