Premiere Watch: Frankly Speaking

28 April 30, 2024April 30, 2024

by missvictrix

Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: JTBC
Genre: Rom-com
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Netflix

Reasons to watch: In another premise that only dramaland could dream up, spiffy newscaster Go Kyung-pyo gets electrocuted in some way and loses all socials filters. Bad on a regular day, but especially bad if you’re a news anchor. The hijinks ensue when PD Kang Hanna tries to get him on her variety show. And of course, there’s a love triangle in the springtime air with Joo Jong-hyuk (on his career rise) playing a popular trot singer (this I’m dying to see). All in all, if the drama leans into the ridiculous and the chemistry is right, it could be laugh-out-loud funny.

TL;DR: Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a Wednesday-Thursday drama again!

I am looking forward to this. I think GKP will do well in a comedic role.
I want to watch a show and laugh multiple times per episode.
Please let this be a good rom com with no stalkers or serial killers.

My gogo eyes are solely for Go Kyung-pyo. 😍😍😍
Hwaiting Oppa ... I'll hug you tight when your zero filter kicks in. Also since I too have the same "problem" we will make a fine pair. 👫

He is so good with facial expressions that I'm expecting him to be truly funny in this role!

I forgot as well. Now that Queen of Tears is over (and I loved it), I'm ready for a wacked-out comedy and I know Go Kyung-pyo can deliver if the script asks him to.

Hope the humor is wacky and fun! Plus a lot of heart.

I feel like there's a lot of serious thriller and melo type dramas coming up so it would be nice if this one was light and sweet.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I became completely distracted by the writing Go Kyung-pyo's jacket and couldn't focus on anything else until I found out what it says: "We are so old, we have become young again."

It's a Valentino number: https://www.valentino.com/en-nl/product-silk-shantung-double-breasted-jacket-with--a-little-life--print-VCE3D49RL_0NO

Finally- a comedy that I have been looking forward to for a while- and it is here- I just checked Netflix and the first episode has indeed been posted.
