SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Grab your popcorn for more unfiltered honesty and hilarious chaos in 'Frankly Speaking' Episode 3, the hit Netflix rom-com from South Korea. We last left Song Ki-baek, our hilariously honest announcer, struggling to navigate his newfound inability to hold back his thoughts.

Song Ki-baek who used to be a smooth talker, but now he can't stop blurting out the truth, even when it's embarrassing! This makes every conversation super awkward.

Meanwhile, the quick-witted writer On Woo-ju (Kang Han-na) is intrigued by his honesty and sees potential in his situation. Episode 3 holds the answer maybe for you to find out if Ki-baek can find a way to express himself without causing social mayhem, and if a spark might just ignite between him and the ever-intriguing Woo-ju.
