ANOTHER CLOY IN MAKING?

YYS acting kept me watching this drama, ngl it was super addictive on the starting but after repetition of plot ( aka heejoo getting kidnapped for millionth time) i got pet peeveed ... ughh.
nevermind, the story was (at least for me) new because as new generation say it was " wattapad coded" lol sorry i never read wattapad so lol can't relate. tbh if any other was casted instead of YYS and i would have dropped it in an instant but because he was able to pull of this role due to his gaunty facial masculine features and death stare direct gaze... in short i stayed cuz of him
NOW... i would say that the last two eps made saeon character contradictory because you can't tell me that ep 6,7 saeon would ever pull THAT SHIT what was done in ep12... like wth was that au mercenary shit was that,... like in ep 6,7 he literally was close to having his arota closed because of heejoo missing and ep 12 saeon literally said sayonara cuz his big daddyoo pulled the truck on heejoo... like come on.
ughhhhhh.
and not to mention they didn't give us the second wedding, instead we got freaks in the sheet duo ( which was in my point of view was not necessarily needed, the proposal or second wedding would have been more impactful in my humble opinion)

anyways, it finally gave a trip down memory lane when i first started watching kdramas.. now??? mmmm maybe it's time to finally say goodbye to them cuz they can't writer a decent ending to all

Very nice series but a bit exaggerated.

Hello, this series had great acting and acting, and they played a very realistic role together. I had a positive opinion about the series. As for the content of the story, Kdrama friends have always been fantasy and clichéd, and sometimes it was far from reality. We were crying until a few days ago, what a great acting and what an interesting and emotional story. Do you see all these negative comments because of the last two episodes, which were exaggerated?! We followed every moment of this series, every week we were excited about what was going to happen next? I mean, this whole series has been pointless, has it really had nothing?? When we were tired and waiting for a series that would entertain us, we would say, "Wow, how great! I love this series so much, I'm waiting for it." Now everyone says that the content of the story was not very good, or so it was. Yes, there were some bugs, for example, this last episode of the war and the Argan region, but we were always excited for the next episode when we saw it. Please don't ruin this series with negative comments. Take a break and rewatch it again. You'll see that it was really beautiful. The series is based on a manhwa. What do you really expect from a manhwa writer? Many friends gave this series a hit because they read the manhwa and were spoiled by the end of the story. They gave it a negative review because they already knew the story. The series was a cliché, and with these beautiful clichés, we felt good after watching this series. We weren't expecting anything extraordinary. We just watched it because of its beautiful atmosphere. You started this series yourself, with your own free will, no one forced you. Don't make a disaster out of this series. If the series had more episodes, it would have been too boring and ridiculous, and if it had been less, it would have gone too fast. The mistake that the director and writer made is that they left most of the events for the end of the series and it moved quickly and didn't follow the previous trend. The last episode was also able to answer most of the questions and meet our expectations.
A question for dear friends: What did you really want from the end of the story???????!!

When the phone rings I’ll answer your call

I have been waiting what seems like ages for this drama. I’m a fan of both leads and know they are great at what they do. What I haven’t seen from the both of them was a genre like this for the pair, so I’m happy to see something sort of new.

Dramas are getting stale for me these days but I always knew I was going to tune into this one. I’ll be honest though, say what I like and what I don’t.

What I’ll say right away is that the first episode hooks you in through the first scene alone. You wonder about the relationship of the leads and how it go to that point. Why is the husband so narcissistic? Why does the wife stay silent? How and why are they together?

It is clear it’s based on a contract, but I hope it goes into each layer and detail as to why. Thriller is a perfect genre for this idea and I know I’ve seen many contract marriage drama before.. but going the thriller route with it is such a smart move from a writing standpoint. Having all these questions hook the viewer, and to add to that you’ve got great visuals and chemistry.

I’ll comment briefly and add each episode though. I’m used to dramas being great the first few episodes and then really showing their true colors of not knowing what they are doing. Dramas greatest weakness are the runtimes being too long or too short these days. Thrillers have an advantage of being a slow burn though, so I am ok with a bit of slow build up as long as there are visual clues and smart dialogue that tie into each mystery.

Cha Soobin took a great role. She is very sincere with her acting and has a charm to her the same as Yoo Yeon Seok does. It’s seems like a pairing made from the heavens to me. What I’m happy to see is tension, the isolation within the relationship. I really wonder if the romance will work out or if it will be entirely a thriller and have one against the other. Soobin as I said is genuinely full of charm, and is quite cute in all her roles. Here although she isn’t as outspoken, she is just as cute. She is styled amazingly and her straight and long hair looks so stunning. She is quiet but has the acting chops to fill up her role with subtle expressions and emotions.

Yoo Yeon Seok is playing a tricky character. I don’t really know what to say of the lead he’s playing for now, I am enjoying that he is a demeaning figure. Obviously he is oppressive, but to play that sort of role and still have likability.. the man is doing it and it’s impressive. Also he of course is styled so well and looks beyond handsome. If only the couple were actually happy and perfect as they look haha

This is the only kdrama I’m watching at the moment but seriously that’s a lot for me. It means it is worth while and worth my time, so I would recommend.

My new year's gift.

When the Phone Rings is a mystery drama full of cute, romantic moments accompanied by ample thriller. It's medium-paced, and the romance progressively blossoms. The couple continuously falls in love, making it hard not to miss them as soon as the series ends. The cast knows how to bring the characters alive, the stylings are appropriate, and the soundtrack is a cherry on top.

Watching this drama had been a good experience up until the last episode. It was a roller coaster ride. I laughed, cried, cringed, and aww-ed bazillion times. I’m glad I started 2025 with this drama because it has a satisfying, happy ending. Too bad an arc in the last episode weakened the watching experience. I didn’t like the warzone arc, the couple’s motivation to travel to Argan, and what happened there. It was unnecessary, and I believe the writer can show their undying love differently.

Logic isn’t the drama’s strongest suit, and sometimes you’ll go, ‘What the fuck?’, but it’s easy to overlook them when you focus on the romance. It’s a good romance drama, but not so much in the mystery and thriller department. It was easy to connect puzzle pieces and guess motives. The only plot twist and reveal that got me woah-ing is the one in the first episode. Although the story, characterisation, twists and turns, and certain scenes can be questionable, When the Phone Rings remains entertaining. I have to give Yoo Yeonseok and Chae Soobin the credit for making me so invested in the couple's love story and their personal journey to find ultimate happiness. Their chemistry is impeccable.

Free Palestine!

8.1? No, not worth it.

I didn't get it, why are people obsessing over this shit? ML is a red flag for sure, he treats her like a thing & she is kinda used to it. Her own family also treats her like shit. She barely said anything when he said she couldn't initiate divorce & things like that. At first, I thought FL is cool. But no, she's worst. She totally lost her cool during that first phone call with ML. He secretly likes her, but had he ever asked her if she was ready for this contractual marriage or not? No bro, this isn't love, this is pure obsession & as a hardcore feminist, I can't support a series like this. And I literally don't give a damn what mystery they're talking about. Guys, don't waste your time.

A strong start, but what on earth was that ending?!

The series started really strongly, with suspense and intrigue, a loveless marriage, kidnap, blackmail, and more.
But halfway through it seemed to lose all momentum and descend into a clash of different angles that seemed to run together head on.
Once Hee-Joo fell down the cliff, everything just went wrong. It was all just too much, too many absurd unbelievable story lines hashed together to make a very unrealistic story. And yea, I know, K-dramas aren’t know for their realistic nature - but this pushed it to the extreme.
The actors were excellent, but the script and direction really ruined what could have been a great drama.
What the heck was the final episode and Hee-Joo running away to a war zone all about?! For all of 15 minutes?!
Rating it as the best of 2024 - laughable.
