[K-Drama Review & Filming Location] 'Frankly Speaking' Episode 4

JTBC Drama 'Secret is Gone' (Frankly Speaking) Episode 4 Review: The Switch

Resigning impulsively? Are you crazy? You can keep your dreams, but you won't be able to make a living.

Maybe this is another chance in my life.

Gi Baek's mind becomes even more troubled as the good and evil within him clash.

Meanwhile, Woo Joo is also struggling and getting pushed around at work.

He learns that a junior writer is being paid more than him, and he accidentally overhears some junior writers talking about how 'Woo Joo is inefficient'.

He's tired of having to force a smile and greet people even when he's struggling.

After work, Gi Baek and Woo Joo meet again as the landlord's daughter and the tenant's son.

Gi Baek is concerned about Woo Joo, who seems somewhat depressed, but pretends not to notice and offers him comfort.

It's dented and broken, but the taste and aroma are still the same.

It's not trash, it's still bread.

It's delicious.

The next day, Gi Baek is diligently searching for a new job when he encounters the child he met at the bathhouse at the playground.

It seems that the child has the ability to read people's minds, and I get the feeling that he's a character who holds a mysterious key in the drama.

See, I told you you'd fall.

If you fall, you just get back up. You're such a scaredy-cat, mister.

Gi Baek is shocked to see his role model, a senior announcer, hosting a trivial festival.

Since his switch is on, he can't lie and makes an awkward remark, but surprisingly, the senior laughs it off.

Because he's experienced it firsthand, he understands Gi Baek's feelings better than anyone.

Gi Baek, where are we? What should we do now? I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

But Gi Baek, you'll do better.

Isn't it incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful senior who always encourages you and tells you that you can do it?

Is this what it feels like to see someone who was once my role model fall from grace?

I thought so, but Hyung's expression wasn't that of someone who had fallen. 

No, so what? Should I just mope around like my life is over because I'm not on the news anymore?

Tomorrow is a new day, a different day. As if something amazing will magically appear in my life. What a coward.

Are you having your first meal this late?

I was busy.

When I was working, the lie I used the most when I didn't have the energy or the mood to eat was 'I was busy'.

Writer On, were you busy today?

Woo Joo can't answer Gi Baek's question.

He lends Gi Baek his notebook, which is filled with quotes he's written down whenever he's felt down.

The misery of having every step from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep calculated in terms of cost is something that can never be explained in words.

When you don't know what to do, find something you'll absolutely never do. It will give you freedom.

And Woo Joo gets ideas from Gi Baek's quotes.

What's there to be worried about? Don't you know the whole universe? I'll find a way. I'll never do it carelessly, that woman.

Believe me or believe the entire universe, but just believe it. Nothing you need to worry about will happen.

As long as you're working with Writer On.

I thought he was one of the villains in the drama, but surprisingly, he wasn't.

When he comforts the junior writers who are worried about losing their jobs, it becomes clear that

he is a trusted figure.

The ending of episode 4 hints at the beginning of a full-blown love triangle, and

Personally, after watching episode 5, I feel like the ratings won't improve, so I'm considering giving up on watching it.

It's not bad, but it lacks the elements to make it immersive, and the characters feel disconnected?

Hoeam Temple

Address: 281 Hoeam Temple-gil, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do

Dr. Kim Joo-ho, a psychiatrist, always gives a monotonous response to Gi Baek, who constantly seeks counseling.

The filming location for the temple where he takes a vacation through Templestay is

a beautiful temple located at the foot of Cheonbo Mountain, meaning 'heaven-sent treasure'.

It is said to have been founded in the 15th year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo (1328) by Jikong, an Indian monk, but

there are also records of Hoeam Temple in the 4th year of King Myeongjong (1174) and the 4th year of King Chungseon (1313), so the exact founding date and founder are unknown.

It was the largest temple in the country until the early Joseon Dynasty.

It is famous as the temple where King Taejo Lee Seong-gye lived after abdicating the throne to King Taejong Lee Bang-won.

Hoeam Temple Templestay offers a variety of Templestay programs.
