“Frustrating” K-Drama Loses Viewers Despite Its Star-Studded Cast


They feel its lost the plot.

We’ve all watched K-Dramas that started strong but fell flat by the end. Now, an anticipated K-Drama has unfortunately become just that.

On May 1, JTBC‘s romantic-comedy Frankly Speaking (also known as No Secret) premiered. The K-Drama, which is also available via Netflix internationally, stars Go Kyung Pyo (also romanized as Ko Kyung Pyo), Kang Han Na, and Joo Jong Hyuk.

Song Ki-Baek (Ko Kyoung-Pyo) is single and 33 years old. He works as an announcer at a broadcasting station. People consider him an ideal announcer. He is polite and well mannered. One day, Song Ki-Baek suffers from an incident which causes him to speak without thinking first. He now faces the biggest crisis of his life.

Meanwhile, On Woo-Joo (Kang Han-Na) is an enthusiastic TV variety show writer. She becomes interested with Song Ki-Baek’s harsh language and she gets him to appear on her variety show.

Many were disappointed by Frankly Speaking in the end. The story went off course, losing its plot, and now it has to wrap things up with only one episode. Yet, viewers feel this twelve-episode K-Drama could have been just ten episodes, as the problems really began after Episode 10.
