Frankly Speaking (2024)

Entertainment Industry, and the Love shows both were involved in.

they differ in execution and overall impact. but one of the episodes made me recall Love is for Suckers couple/dating show.

Let’s just say both female leads are variety show’s writer and that point is really interesting.

Looks like all variety show writers are real ‘active’ and ‘outgoing’!!!

So far, very lovely ???

-Both dramas captivate with their unique take on romance and ambition.

-In both shows the female leads (FL) strategically brings the male leads (ML) onto her variety show.

-The dynamic sparks chemistry and conflict in this setup creates fun and tension, helping the FL and ML grow and bringing them closer.

Both are workplace comedies. The ML are similar in terms they are quick quiet whereas the FL is more the stronger character

- This gives the same vibes & concept of Non-Stop Talking Truth just like Honest Candidate
- ML/FL can't stop telling the truth
- Facing crisis every minute whenever they talk

Realtor Nagase Saichi is cursed with the inability to tell a lie, he is forced to run his mouth off with things that are better left unsaid.

Realtor Nagase is still cursed with an ever-lurking gust of “honesty”that is about to kick up a real storm!

During an annual general meeting, successful direct marketing company founder Lo Man Nai is struck with a weird disease and loses the ability to lie to sell his health products to customers, or to conceal from his wife his long-term affair.

In both shows, the ML and FL are pretty down on their luck and together they’re able to get through it. Both have funny parts and heartwarming parts. Both touch on some pretty serious issues. Both have chaotic bits that will leave you laughing.

Female leads in both shows are writers/producers for variety TV shows and include a dating show in the drama with the leads.

Very similar shows and a lot of the plot is almost exactly the same. Both great shows though and although they have similar portions, the premise and characters are different.
