Contains spoilers for Episode 5 of 'Frankly Speaking'
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: The gloves are well and truly off in Netflix's hit Korean series, 'Frankly Speaking'. Song Ki-baek's (Go Kyung-pyo) newfound honesty continues to wreak hilarious havoc, leaving everyone in his path speechless (or desperately trying to avoid him).
On Woo-ju (Kang Han-na) remains the lone beacon of calm amidst the storm, with her sharp wit and unflappable demeanor proving the perfect foil for Ki-baek's brutal candor.
As we head into Episode 6, the question remains: Can Ki-baek maintain his newfound honesty without jeopardizing his career – or worse, his burgeoning relationship with Woo-ju? Let's take a sneak peek at what's to come in Episode 6.
What happened in 'Frankly Speaking' Episode 5?
In Episode 5 of 'Frankly Speaking', Woo-ju throws Ki-baek a curveball, a reality dating show. She convinces him to join, hoping for some surprising results. Ki-baek, ever the truth bomb, fumbles his intro, calling himself unemployed and scaring off potential partners. Despite his discomfort, Woo-ju pushes him to win hearts.
The games begin, and Ki-baek tries his best. He ends up paired with a girl who wasn't initially chosen and later shows kindness by giving her a bandage. Woo-ju observes this with a hint of jealousy.
Things get more complicated when Ki-baek has a flashback while fighting a game challenge. This flashback hints at a past conflict with another contestant, Kim Jeong-heon (Joo Jong-hyuk). Woo-ju interviews Jeong-heon, adding another layer to the situation. However, Ki-baek manages to win over the crew with his mom's homemade juice.
Disaster strikes during the after-party. The production team sends a message to all contestants asking who they like. Ki-baek, ever honest, notices a food particle on his chosen girl's teeth and types about that instead, much to Woo-ju's disappointment.
However, while reviewing the footage, Woo-ju can't help but be drawn to Ki-baek. She compliments his performance on the show, but Ki-baek questions her motives. He suspects she's 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 everyone. Woo-ju sets off to find him, and they end up alone together in the jungle.
What to expect in ‘Frankly Speaking’ Episode 6?
