The Number You Have Dialed (2024)

Hooked from the First Episode

The thing I love most about this TV series is the way it tells its story. There are plenty of plot twists that keep us guessing about what will happen next. From the very first episode, the storyline is captivating, and you’ll likely find yourself hooked.

The main leads are amazing. Their acting feels real, and their connection grows stronger as the story goes on. While their chemistry isn’t obvious at first, you’ll clearly see it develop in later episodes.

It’s no surprise that this drama secured 4th place on Netflix’s Top 10 Non-English TV Series list (Nov 18–24 week) after releasing just the first two episodes. It shows how much viewers are already loving this drama.

The Ultimate Cold Lover Fantasy

If you’re all about that icy, cold-hearted bad boy who’s got the sharpest looks and a vibe that screams “I’m too good for you but I’ll take you anyway,” then Goo Dong-mae is your everything. This man is like a whole damn mood. He’s not just a hero; he’s the hero of your good girl fantasy, but with a plot twist that’ll leave you shook.

Let’s talk about his relationship with the main actress. She’s playing his wife of 3 years, but trust me, the drama here isn’t all romantic candle-lit dinners. This girl’s got more secrets than an encrypted phone with a voice modulator. She’s not just the obedient wife on the surface – no, she’s secretly playing him like a fiddle.

Now, spoiler alert – things get next level. The wife (aka the ultimate tease) blackmails Dong-mae with a pic of a mole on her thigh, and suddenly, it’s full-blown possession mode. Our dude is shook. He’s never even touched her like that, and now he’s spiraling. Like, he can’t stop obsessing over this mole, and the tension that builds while he tries to figure it out? Butterflies. You can’t make this stuff up, y’all.

If you’re looking for a drama that mixes cold dominance with sizzling mystery and a dash of betrayal, WHEN THE PHONE RINGS is your jam. Goo Dong-mae is serving cold-hearted lover vibes like no other, and I’m 10000% here for it. Go watch this, Divas. Trust me, it’s a real treat.

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.

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. 💌💌💌💌
