SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Netflix's 'Frankly Speaking' throws side-splitting honesty into the rom-com mix, with Song Ki-baek's (Go Kyung-pyo) shocking transformation forcing him to blurt out every truth, no matter how brutal. Meanwhile, On Woo-ju (Kang Han-na) is the only person seemingly equipped to handle Ki-baek's unfiltered commentary.

The first four episodes have been a rollercoaster of laughter, building a unique connection between Woo-ju and Ki-baek. But with Episode 5 arriving this week, fans are eager to know what new chaos awaits this hilariously honest duo.

So, let's unpack the ending of 'Frankly Speaking' Episode 5.

Episode 5 of 'Frankly Speaking' throws a hilarious wrench into Ki-baek and Woo-ju's already complicated dynamic. Disaster strikes during the after-party.

Ki-baek's 'truth mode' kicks in again, and this time, it's triggered by memories of dancing with Jeong-heon in school.

Meanwhile, the production team throws another curveball, a message asking all contestants who they like. Ki-baek, ever the truth-teller, notices a piece of food stuck in his chosen girl's teeth.

His honesty compels him to write about that instead, leaving Woo-ju visibly disappointed.

Despite the awkwardness, Woo-ju can't deny her growing attraction to Ki-baek. While reviewing footage, she can't help but be drawn to him. When she compliments him on the show, Ki-baek, suspicious of her motives, questions her sincerity.

He suspects she might be using him to get closer to Jeong-heon. This prompts a veiled confession from Woo-ju – she admits to liking him. The episode ends with a new challenge: a jungle mission. Ki-baek's partner gets scared, and after some chaos, he gets separated from the group.

Woo-ju sets off to find him, and they end up alone together in the jungle. Ki-baek takes a look at Woo-ju's injured leg, creating a tender moment of vulnerability. As they confront their feelings, their bond takes a fascinating turn.
