Four of the 12 episodes of “Honest Announcer” have aired with low viewership ratings. They reached 1.9%, 2%, 1.4%, and 1.6% respectively, according to Nielsen Korea.

However, the film received the love of a segment of the audience on online platforms.

Accordingly, the film has attracted more than 1.2 million views and 2.5 million viewing hours on Netflix's global Top 10 TV (non-English) category in its first week of release.

In addition, the romantic comedy starring Go Kyung Pyo and Kang Han Na also ranked 8th on the Netflix chart, and was in the top 10 in 9 countries and territories, including Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia...

The film revolves around rising announcer Song Ki Baek (Go Kyung Pyo) - who lives by the law and always works hard to build a clean image.

However, Ki Baek's life takes a shocking turn (literally) when he is electrocuted in an accident, leaving him with a strange condition - he cannot lie.

Because of this, announcer Song's reputation is significantly affected both within the company and outside. In order to rebuild his image, he makes an effort to appear on a variety show written by On Woo Ju (Kang Han Na).

Here, he meets his old classmate Kim Jung Heon (Joo Jong Hyuk) - a famous trot singer and Woo Ju's ex-lover.

According to the media, it is not difficult to see that the story and details of the movie "Honest Announcer" are not too new.

The highlight of the film up to now mostly comes from Go Kyung Pyo's charming acting, his facial expressions that make viewers laugh just by looking at them.

Especially, in the scenes where the male lead openly criticizes fake young idols, bad-tempered bosses, and problematic workplaces... the Korean actor's diction and expressions are highly appreciated.

Along with that, Go Kyung Pyo's interactions with Kang Han Na and Joo Jong Hyuk are also factors that create anticipation.

Especially in the present, Jung Heon has begun to enter the battle to conquer Woo Ju's heart, while Ki Baek also gradually develops feelings for the passionate female screenwriter.

However, it is likely that in the coming time, the film's rating will increase but not significantly, partly because the plot is familiar, partly because the cast are not stars with a large fan base.
