Frankly Speaking was a much-loved K-drama that had a quirky plot and characters that were really funny and relatable. The series deals with genres like comedy and romance and started on May 1st, 2024. It recently concluded and the final episode was able to mesmerize the viewers.
Since then, Frankly Speaking Season 2 has been doing the rounds, and fans of the show are eager to know about its possibility. If you have been looking for its answer, continue reading as we will decipher all the points related to Frankly Speaking Season 2.
What Is Frankly Speaking All About?
Frankly Speaking is written by Choi Kyung-sun while Jang Ji-yeon is the director. It is about Song Ki-baek (played by Go Kyung-pyo) who does not think before speaking. Ki-baek, who works for a radio station, often lands in trouble because of his condition. He meets On Woo-ju (played by Kang Han-na) who writes television shows. She approaches him and they appear on a love-themed show on television.
How Did Frankly Speaking Season 1 End?
The final episode of Frankly Speaking showcases the aftermath of the major accident the family went through. We see the mother of Ki-Baek still in the hospital. His father is blaming him for the situation. Ki-Baek talks to his brother and is working towards getting the money for their mother’s treatment. We also see his father giving the inventory for sale.
We also realize that K-Baek’s father had left everyone broke when the former was in school. At the warehouse, an argument takes place between the brothers. But the genre quickly shifts to action as the father also shows up who successfully beats all the goons.
The cops pick up the goons and Ki-Baek and his father apologize to each other and share an emotional moment. The season concludes with a sweet play.

Is Frankly Speaking Season 2 Happening?
So far, neither Netflix nor JTBC has confirmed that they are going ahead with Frankly Speaking Season 2. Generally, K-dramas are made only for one season so it’s unlikely for a second season to happen. But given that this show got a great response and it has just concluded, there are still chances.
But another side is that the first season ended on a happy note so expanding it might be a stretch. We will have to wait and see what the fate of Frankly Speaking Season 2 will be. There are equal chances of a second season happening and not happening. Historically, there have been very few K-dramas that have seen a second season.
What To Expect From It?
The previous season showcased Ki-Baek proposing to Woo-Joo so in Frankly Speaking Season 2 we can maybe expect them to have been married. There is also a possibility that they might also have kids.
While Ki-Baek will continue to work for the media, Woo-Joo’s passion is writing which she will continue to pursue. We can expect them to go through new kinds of challenges in their life as the storyline takes place in a different time zone than the previous season.
The cast of the maiden season should return for Frankly Speaking Season 2. Names like Go Kyung-pyo (playing Song Ki-baek), Kang Han-na (On Woo-ju), and Joo Jong-hyuk (Kim Jung-heon) might return for the second season.
When it comes to the release date, there is no information from the makers. It’s hard to guess because it might take a while for Netflix to asses everything and come to a conclusion for a follow-up season. So only time will let us know about this.
Conclusion
Frankly Speaking is a lovely K-drama that has managed to click with people not just in South Korea but globally. It talks about accepting oneself the way you are despite the flaws. All the episodes were written beautifully and all the actors did their job well.
Now that it has concluded, fans want to watch Frankly Speaking Season 2 as they want to watch the story of Ki-Baek and Woo-Joo. We can only hope and expect the makers to listen to the fans and greenlight this anticipated season very soon so that they can enjoy the story of these interesting characters.
