‘When the Phone Rings’ Plot

Park Sang Woo's When the Phone Rings is based on the Kakao web novel The Number You Have Dialed by Geon Emomul Nyeo. According to Netflix, the series follows "Sa-eon (Yoo) and Hee-joo (Chae) married in a secret arranged marriage and have lived unhappily together ever since. In fact, the two hardly speak at all — in part because Hee-joo lives with selective mutism, but primarily because they despise each other." There's a national emergency in the country, and amidst this, Hong Hae Jo gets abducted, making things even worse. Instead of rescuing her, the main man, Baek Sa Eon, tries to get rid of his wife. ‘When The Phone Rings’ Episodes: With 6.6 Million Views, Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin’s K-Drama Secures Fourth Spot on Global Non-English TV List.
