JTBC has released a new teaser for its upcoming drama “Frankly Speaking” (previously known as “No Secrets”)!
“Frankly Speaking” is a romantic comedy starring Go Kyung Pyo as Song Ki Baek, a rising news anchor who lives strictly by the rules and has worked hard to build up a clean image. However, Song Ki Baek’s life takes a (literally) shocking turn when he is electrocuted in an accident, leading him to develop a strange condition that prevents him from lying.
The newly released teaser starts with Song Ki Baek unconscious on the ground after his life-changing accident. When he comes to, Song Ki Baek returns to his job as a news anchor and declares, “With sincerity and integrity, I will not lie.” That declaration proves to be truer than Song Ki Baek would like: after his accident, he becomes physically unable to lie or say anything he doesn’t truly mean.
Song Ki Baek also catches the eye of On Woo Ju (played by Kang Han Na), a passionate variety show writer who is willing to do anything to make a program entertaining. Announcing that she wants to cast Song Ki Baek for a program, On Woo Ju says, “He’s perfect for variety shows.” She then asks in confusion, “Are there instances where someone’s personality suddenly changes after being electrocuted?”
Unable to stop himself from blurting out whatever he’s thinking, Song Ki Baek boldly tells his boss, “Don’t you know your feet smell bad?” He also can’t stop himself from confessing his growing feelings for On Woo Ju, saying, “When I see your face in front of me, I get this feeling, and it gets better.”
However, Song Ki Baek soon faces a romantic rival in the form of On Woo Ju’s ex-boyfriend Kim Jung Heon (Joo Jong Hyuk), a popular trot singer who is highly sought-after in the variety show sphere. “It’s been a long time,” Kim Jung Heon says to On Woo Ju. “This is our first time seeing each other in eight years.”
The teaser ends with Song Ki Baek worrying, “Will I be able to read the news in this state?” On Woo Ju reassures him, “The way you are right now, people are definitely going to like it.” Song Ki Baek then tells her, “Let’s try it.”
“Frankly Speaking” will premiere on May 1 at 8:50 p.m. KST. Check out the new teaser below!
