The drama intensifies in Episode 5 of MBC’s When the Phone Rings. The episode, extended by 10 minutes, promises high-stakes confrontations as Yoo Yeon Seok‘s Baek Sa Eon clashes with Heo Nam Jun‘s Ji Sang Woo.
In the previous episode, Sa Eon revealed his marriage to Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin) in front of the police, shifting the dynamics between the two characters. Meanwhile, Sa Eon’s growing suspicion of Sang Woo led him to question Na Yoo Ri (Jang Gyu Ri) about Sang Woo’s background. The episode ended with Hee Joo, disguised as a blackmailer, confronting Sa Eon. Despite her harsh words against herself, Sa Eon delivered an emotional response, saying, “Hee Joo is not an add-on; she’s an entirely new language. Don’t speak carelessly about my wife,” leaving viewers moved by his sincerity.
