Episode 8 of 'Frankly Speaking' throws our characters into a whirlwind of post-kiss awkwardness and professional challenges. Woo-ju and Ki-baek struggle with the afterglow of their kiss, navigating shyness and blushing encounters.

Meanwhile, Woo-ju's production team faces financial woes. Luckily, Ki-baek jumps in to save the day by starring in a chaotic restaurant show. Here, he grapples with a furious customer, slowly uncovering a staged situation for views.

Kim Jeong-heon, on the other hand, throws himself into work, but flashbacks reveal a past conversation with Woo-ju that continues to haunt him. The episode throws in a few more curveballs. Woo-ju's mom deals with a demanding client, while Min Cho-hui is revealed to be manipulating things behind the scenes.

A reunion of all the 'Couples Paradise' participants leads to unexpected interactions. Ki-baek meets Jeong-heon's talent agency head (also Jeong-heon's mom!), sparking a conversation about potential freelance work.

Later, Jeong-heon visits Woo-ju's salon, getting grilled by her mom about past lies during their relationship. A flashback shows Woo-ju's heartbreak upon overhearing a conversation about another woman, fueling suspicions of infidelity.

Ki-baek finally admits his feelings for Woo-ju to a friend, determined to confess. Jeong-heon cuts to the chase with Woo-ju, directly asking if she has feelings for Ki-baek. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Ki-baek witnessing Woo-ju in a tight hug with Jeong-heon, leaving viewers to question the nature of their embrace and its impact on the love triangle.

The cliffhanger Woo-ju's hug with Jeong-heon takes place, we can expect Ki-baek to confront Woo-ju, seeking clarity about her feelings. While the show's rating goes up making On Woo-ju all happy however the stardom of 'Couple Paradise' show is costing On Woo-ju her mental peace.

Jeong-heon's past deception will also come under scrutiny. Woo-ju's mom likely won't let him off the hook easily, and his actions might further complicate the love triangle. Ki-baek's burgeoning feelings will demand action.

With Jeong-heon potentially back in the picture, expect Ki-baek to finally confess his love for Woo-ju.  Episode 9 promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions as the characters navigate unresolved feelings, past baggage, and potential heartbreak.
