Mahn oh mahn only 4 episodes in and this drama has got me hooked literally hooked!! Infact I am writing this review out of my frustration for waiting for the next episodes. Ep 4 ended in a cliffhanger wait it ain't no cliff hanger it is a bloody a bloody small twig at the edge of the cliff and it is hanging by its small pinky finger....lol you get what i mean right?? The drama is sooo good it is a perfect mix of romance, suspense,thriller, action and what not so stop doubting and give it a chance.
I thank the korean universe for gifting me this wonderful drama to end the year 2024...

First 2 episodes were very intriguing. Male lead was professional. Acting emotional proof. Why the female lead still pretending to be mute. Sad. Male lead is too handsome and his ego is big. At the same time, he does not want anything bad to happen to his wife. 3 years in a loveless marriage . Basically they were housemates. The wife must have a lot of patience with the I think I know everything hubby. The male lead in dominant and intimidating. But he is a good guy if you put a side his ego. I hope he falls deeply in love with his so called mute wife. 🌷.

omg, I have to say that the series is at the same time a bit sad, but at the same time funny. means all the time Ml. she pretends to be cold-blooded towards Zen, she follows all his rules, but the kidnapping turns her into a person who takes revenge on her husband by pretending to be a predator. and manages to make a jealous husband who doesn't know that his wife is doing it so that he practically listens to the predator's advice and tries not to show that he cares but at the same time shows that he cares and that he is jealous. Zl. innocent face little devil inside😂😂

A Thrilling Start!

When the Phone Rings is a perfect mix of mystery and chills. It kicks off with a creepy phone call that pulls strangers into a dangerous game. Right away, you can feel the tension as the characters realize the caller knows their secrets—and isn’t messing around.

The shocker comes when the game claims its first victim, leaving everyone, in total disbelief. The suspense builds up so well that you can’t help but wonder who’s next.

Just when it seems like we’ll get answers, the episode ends with a cliffhanger that makes it impossible not to keep watching. If you love thrilling mysteries, this is the show for you.

Political Mystery Thriller Romance

The original expectations for me for the Korean Drama When the Phone Rings (2024) was that this Korean drama would be a Political Mystery Thriller of the criminal kind. However, a huge plot twist has made this drama a sensual killer of the pulsating kind. I have never seen a phone be used for a tool of sensuality. OMG. Male Lead Yoo Yeon Seok will forever be remembered for that incredible first kiss in episode one of Doctor Romantic and the brush of the fingers by a lady’s skirt as he played Bad Boy Gu Dong Mae in Mr Sunshine. He is doing it again in When the Phone Rings. Yoo Yeon Seok is the originator of his signature pulsating glance, the heart has to be forced to stay still.

Yoo Yeon Seok costars with Cahe Soo Bin (I Am Not A Robot). Only two episodes in, When the Phone Rings is becoming a fan favorite already, garnering 8.7/10 on MDL. We will see if they can keep this up. 💌💌💌💌

Baek Sa Eon is truly a captivating figure, with his history as a political figure and his challenging experiences as both a war correspondent and hostage negotiator – he's not your average male protagonist by any means! The depiction of the strain in his marriage, with Hui Ju is incredibly moving. When she is abducted; you can sense the devastation enveloping his world.

Hong Hui Ju stands out as a character, in the storys narrative; her quiet demeanor isn't merely a device but an integral aspect of her identity that resonates powerfully through the portrayal of her resilience amidst past traumas. The inclusion of her role as a sign language interpreter adds an poignant layer to her character portrayal. Her abduction doesn't just serve as a plot twist; it also delves into the depth and tension, between her and Sa Eon—a dynamic that captivates ones attention with its intensity and complexity.

The cinematography and pacing, in this film are outstandingly well done. Each scene seems purposeful. Contributes to the narrative. There is a sense of tension and mystery in every moment that is complemented by the charged soundtrack. The exploration of themes such, as communication and love resonates deeply with the audience. Despite their imperfections they are easy to empathize with and support throughout the story.

"If you're seeking a gripping drama filled with emotion and deep themes that makes you think deeply about life—look no further, than When the Phone Rings (2024). It's definitely one of the standout shows I've watched this year! Make sure you catch it!"

The drama is so good and going to receive so many awards.

The drama is so good. As everyone is saying even first episode is addictive. The director and screen writer have done great work i think. They have worked hard on this, and it can be shown right away. To talk about expressions and acting of actors, they should receive awards. Yoo yeon seok must be really good actor. I appreciate his skills and talent, as well as chae soobin. Both actors have worked hard on it. The show is going to hit and everyone's hard work is going pay off. God bless.

it's mind blowing...... the plot >>

It feels like a crime to release only two episodes per week—I’m hooked! The anticipation for the next episode is unbearable. My entire TikTok feed is flooded with edits of this K-drama, and honestly, they’re the reason I started watching. Now, I have no regrets! The story, the characters, the emotions—everything is perfect. It’s a must-watch for any fan of the genre. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out on something truly captivating. Highly recommend diving in ASAP!

Una de las Best Series Of The Year

Simplemente hermosa, apenas va empezando y ya la ame, como los protas demuestran la dedicación con su personaje, en especial intrepretar a una persona con mutismo selectivo, entre otras cosas… Sumando todo lo que pasa con las llamadas, los temas que trata, como parece que es algo pero al final es otra cosa, no aguanto las ganas para ver que va a pasar en todo lo que queda de serie, entre los protas, y toda la gente al rededor..
Me encanta, con la química, la intensidad, el nerviosismo de todos los momentos jajaja tremenda serie hermosa, que demuestra todo
