Frankly Speaking unveiled still cuts of Go Kyung Pyo.

Frankly Speaking tells the story of Song Ki Baek (Go Kyung Pyo), an announcer, who is unexpectedly afflicted with a disease that doesn't let him control the words coming from his mouth. Intrigued by Song's manner of speech, the passionate TV variety show writer On Woo Joo (Kang Han Na) invites him to her variety show. 

Song Ki Baek worked diligently for 8 years as an employee who never said 'No' to any task assigned. If he had held on a little longer, the flowery path to becoming the main anchor would have unfolded smoothly. But, his dream encounters a setback after he suffers an electric shock and his tongue gets out of his control. Once a 'Yes Man', he now transforms into a 'Fact Bomber' who cannot refrain from saying what he does not want to.

In the following stills, as expected of an FM announcer, he appears professional from head to toe in a perfectly fitting suit. However, his flustered appearance and confusion as he leans over the news desk, or the glare with which he stares at someone, evoke laughter.


Actor Go Kyung Pyo expressed his thoughts on his role, saying, "I felt exhilarated while acting. I felt a cathartic thrill." 

The production team of Frankly Speaking stated, "Song Ki Baek has an upright image that makes him look like he's difficult to approach, but he also has a clumsy side that is not apparent. As he becomes incapable of lying, that aspect of him frequently emerges. You can expect to see various charms of Go Kyung Pyo."

Frankly Speaking will premiere in May.
