In the first episode of the 2024 K-drama, audiences are introduced to Song Ki-baek (played by Go Kyung-pyo), a successful radio announcer working for Ultra FM. Soon, he is seen dominating a dodgeball game show. This is when he manages to impress On Woo-ju (played by Kang Ha-na), a competitive variety show writer, who was closely observing the event.
Later, when Woo-ju comes across Ki-baek, she warns him to keep his win-at-all-costs attitude in check, as it might, one day, cost him his fame. The episode ends with a sudden gas leak, leaving Ki-baek unconscious. When he regains consciousness, his life is altered forever.
In episode 2, Ki-Baek tries to figure out why he’s being so bluntly honest. His no filter behaviour leads to multiple repercussions, the first one being his boss suspending him. Devastated, Ki-baek decides to take a break and travels out of town with his friend Yoon Ji-hoo (played by Ko Kyu-pil). There he once again runs into Woo-Joo, who sees him climbing rocks and gets worried about his mental health. The episode ends with the duo dramatically falling off the rocks.
In episodes 3 and 4, fans can likely expect the Netflix K-drama to delve deeper into Ki-baek’s struggle to redeem his career.
