Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin’s gripping romance drama When the Phone Rings is taking the world by storm.
According to FlixPatrol, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ranked second globally in Netflix’s TV Shows category as of December 2nd. The series has claimed the No. 1 spot in 25 countries, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. From November 26th to December 1st, it topped the charts in over 33 countries and solidified its global appeal.
Episodes 3 and 4 marked a major turning point in the relationship between Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin), a couple whose seemingly perfect life hides deeper cracks. For the first time, Sa Eon publicly acknowledged Hee Joo’s presence in front of others to protect her. Moreover, his complex reaction to hearing his wife’s voice after 20 years added even more layers to their evolving dynamic.
The end of Episode 4 delivered a powerful scene as the couple faced each other with their phones in hand, exchanging words they couldn’t say aloud through the mysterious “threat phone.” With Sa Eon uncovering Hee Joo’s long-buried secrets, the drama has viewers eagerly awaiting what comes next.
Episode 5 of When the Phone Rings will air on December 6th at 9:40 PM with an extended 10-minute runtime.
