Netizens’ Reactions
Whoever casted #YooYoonSeok and #ChaeSooBin deserves a RAISE. Cuz LOOK AT THEM. You could feel the tension and their oozing chemistry. This is the K-drama that got out of my slump. Thank you so much!
#WhenthePhoneRings did NOT disappoint! Hiding in an empty room trope? Check. Jealous husband who cooks breakfast? Double check. I’m hooked and having the time of my life!
Yoo Yeon Seok bringing out his character’s dark side while showcasing a mix of concern, jealousy, and restrained love is chilling. This dude is indeed talented, like I’m already soo invested in their dynamics.
#WhenThePhoneRings has a gripping storyline and a fantastic cast, but still, its directing format hasn’t won me over. It’s the only reason for me to deduct two points and give it an 8/10 (for now).
Hee Joo is playing a dangerous game, and I’m here for it. Liking the chemistry chemistry between #ChaeSoobin and #YooYeonseok. This drama is kind of serving the HEAT!
This arranged marriage / enemies trope will always be good for me with the right pairing and acting not to mention the exciting plot of this drama.
This is a drama that leaves you wanting more. I will have to see through until the end because what do you mean they dropped another twist??!!?
The ending of #WhenThePhoneRingsEp2 had me clutching my imaginary pearls! Sa-eon lowkey saved Hee Joo from marrying a douchebag by orchestrating their marriage (since her sis bailed). I need the next episode ASAP!
THE TWIST IS INSANE! It wasn’t their family, it was Sa Eon who decided to change the bride to Hee Joo, knowing that she would marry a bad guy. Why is this giving me the conclusion that he liked her first??
The story is getting interesting. It is a thriller indeed. I need more of Sa Eon’s POV. And why was the culprit calling Hee Joo Unni?
