Go Kyung Pyo as Song Ki Baek
Song Ki Baek works as an Ultra FM announcer. He has carefully crafted an image as a bright, privileged, and high-status person. His polished workplace demeanor of never saying ‘no’ has positioned him on the verge of becoming the main news anchor. However, an unexpected incident causes him to lose control and transform into a ‘fact bomb.’ In this state, he unabashedly tells truths and his most profound thoughts.
Go Kyung Pyo will transform into Song Ki Baek, who experiences a surprising transformation in the upcoming new drama. Therefore, he will showcase a fresh and radical acting transformation, stepping away from his typical ‘perfect son’ role. This change aims to provide real entertainment and excitement to captivate your interest. His acting will reveal more than just secrets, adding depth to the character and the storyline.

She has shown passion and determination in the challenging field of entertainment writing for 12 years, persevering through tough times. Standing out among others like a “calamity,” she leaves a lasting impact on those around her. Woo-joo’s path intersects with Ki Baek in the vibrant world of entertainment. When Ki Baek faces broadcasting issues due to his straightforward nature, Woo-joo sees an opportunity to help him improve.
Kang Han Na’s natural, bright, and cheerful energy is expected to bring life to the character of On Woo Joo in the show.

Kim Jung Hyun is a famous trot singer who has earned the title of ‘nation’s son-in-law.’ He started his singing journey as part of a music group when he was twenty. Despite facing a big challenge, he participated in a trot music contest. Surprisingly, he managed to clinch the second position, winning the hearts of mothers nationwide with his performance.
In the story, Kim Jung Hyun has a new broadcasting project where he collaborates with his ex-girlfriend, On Woo-joo. Despite their past, Kim Jung Hyun still has lingering feelings for her. This project allows him to convey the feelings he has been suppressing for a long time.
