Promise remained undelivered.
The plot started off quite interesting, with frequent twists, revealing more about the main characters. Initially, there was a fair balance between the thriller, suspense and romance in the story which made it quite engaging. However, as the show progressed, the plot became repetitive, predictable, and somewhat frustrating.Still worth binging, but was definitely not worth the weekly wait (after a certain point in the show) anymore.

? Thoughts After 4/12 Episodes: First Impressions ?
I must admit, I didn’t have high expectations for this drama 🤔 and was even tempted to skip it. The genres—Thriller, Mystery, Romance, Drama—didn’t grab me initially. 🤷♂️ And honestly (I can’t believe I’m saying this 😅), I wasn’t the biggest fan of either lead before this.BUT WOW... this drama has completely changed my opinion! 😍 Both leads fit their roles perfectly, and their performances have really won me over. 👏👏 The cinematography, music, and OST? Absolutely stunning! 🎶✨
Yes, if you really dig, you can find plot issues and faults (as with any drama, tbh). But this isn’t one to nitpick over. Dramas are all about escapism, and this one, based on a novel 📖, does a fantastic job pulling you into its world.
At just 4 episodes in, I’m already hooked! 🥰 If they can keep this momentum going, this could easily turn into a standout drama. Fingers crossed! 🤞

The swing to the right is real
...so the swing of the public opinion to the right, patriarchal is real. Another drama with the trope 'he treats her like trash, with contempt and sometimes real hate, but that's for greater good and he will later mend the error of his ways'.She fights back, but obviously not in a healthy way, because she's used to be abused. So first time he offers her some bread crumb of attention, she'll be head over heels.
Never been tempted to watch 50 shades.

Entertainer of 2024 Indeed!!!
Sometimes what we see might not be the absolute reality!While “When the Phone Rings” started with a bang, charting through unraveled mysteries, I kept questioning the need for the “Almost” animosity between the lead couple. The pilot episodes led us to believe that Baek Sa Eon doesn’t care much about his fake wife, she is a mere replacement for her elder sister who ran away on the wedding day. None of the people in Sa Eon’s social circle have met her and no one knows about her existence; and yet somehow she ends up kidnapped. Makes you wonder how well Sa Eon kept her hidden. The plot gets thick when Hong Hui Jo decides to take things in her hands and starts blackmailing her own husband to get an easy divorce. Shockingly she doesn’t expect two things- one that her aloof, grumpy husband actually loves her and also his real identity is different from his public image. What drives the narrative further is deciphering these secrets and betrayals levied upon them by their so-called parents.

Ridiculously clichéd drama with so many wrong messages!
First of I don't understand the tendency of SK writers to just pick up a random individual and make him a monster, just like the one portrayed in MOUSE, a person isn't just born criminal, every person, every criminal has a reason for his actions, be it desperation, greed, list and just his situations. Even the so-called serial killers like Jeffery Dahmer have a peculiar environment and upbringing which sort of culminates in certain behaviors of an individual. There is no random monster gene present in an individual, shows like Bates Motel and Assassination of Gianni Versace show pretty well as to how a certain crimanal ends up being where he is, the psychology, of the individual, but we'll yeah, it's beyond the scope of this cliched rom-com.The script in itself is beyond confusing and childish, there have been so many instances where it was pretty obvious that Hong Hee Joo's mask was uncovered, yet the script kept annoying stretching that stupid cringey conversations which added no kind of build up or depth to the plot. The behavior of the ML being so repulsive and uptight and treated the FL so shittily, and just randomly being super possessive and empathetic of her in the end is super dumb, with no justifications of his actions? Wasn't three years enough for you to break down your walls?
Second, i absolutely don't digest the reason as to why Hong Hee Joo had to pretend to be mute and what her mother had to gain or lose out of it. The insensitivity of the show to use some disability of the show to gain traction from the audience to reveal it was just a suspence is quite nerving, instead of showing the struggles they go through, the show just used it as a plot armour. The FL lead loves to jump herself to death all the time and just resuscitate alive all the time, like what were the writers even thinking?
At last the worst moments of the show, the pro-zionist agenda? And what on earth was he even doing there and made his wife jump into a near death situation which in reality would've turned extremely horrendous? Were the writers smoking pot? The writers really belittled the maturity of the audience watching this show.
This show is an absolutely wasted potential, with such beautiful cinematography, catchy music, good budget, the script just ruined everything. What could've been an absolute thrilling cat and mouse chase between the ML and FL, they just ruined it by making it an absolutely cringey rom-com! Totally skippable!

Drama per chi ha la sindrome di Cenerentola
Bel drama, ma non ho capito tutto l' entusiasmo che c'è dietro, non ci sono argomenti profondi, la protagonista è una vittima senza via di uscita, come al solito la donna è una schiava del terzo millennio e non riesce a liberarsi se non con l' aiuto di un uomo che l'ha amata fin da quando erano bambini e succube di una madre che pensa più a se stessa che alla figlia, da madre e questa è una cosa che mi fa incacchiare non poco! Mah! Va bene per chi ha la sindrome da Cenerentola, trama assurda come al solito soprattutto nel finale, con errori di scene, e vabbè come sempre penso che bisognerebbe fucilare (in senso figurativo) gli sceneggiatori che non sono proiettati nel 2025, ma fanno sti drama con altissimi rate, per quelle che vivono nelle fantasie di fiabe che ci hanno raccontato da bambiniCet avis était-il utile?
A história vai te prender do início ao fim
“When the Phone Rings” é uma obra-prima que combina uma narrativa envolvente, atuações impecáveis e uma trilha sonora inesquecível. A história prende do início ao fim, com reviravoltas emocionantes e uma profundidade que surpreende a cada episódio. É impossível não se conectar com os personagens e seus dilemas.A química entre o casal principal é, sem dúvida, um dos grandes destaques do drama. Cada cena compartilhada por eles exala intensidade e emoção, tornando impossível não torcer por sua felicidade. A relação deles é construída de forma tão orgânica que parece real, como se estivéssemos assistindo a uma história de amor acontecer bem diante de nossos olhos.
Outro ponto que merece ser exaltado é a OST. As músicas complementam perfeitamente as emoções das cenas, transportando o espectador para dentro da trama. Algumas canções ficam na mente por dias, trazendo à tona memórias de momentos marcantes da história.
Os atores entregaram performances excepcionais. Cada gesto, olhar e diálogo foi carregado de emoção e autenticidade. É notável como eles conseguiram dar vida a personagens tão complexos e cativantes. Eles não só atuaram, mas viveram seus papéis, fazendo com que cada detalhe parecesse natural e impactante.
“When the Phone Rings” é um K-drama que vai além de entreter: ele toca o coração e deixa uma marca duradoura. É impossível assistir sem se emocionar e se apaixonar por essa história extraordinária. Recomendo fortemente para quem busca um drama que combina romance, emoção e excelência em todos os aspectos.

Extremely Boring Drama
It was a series that started very well in the first three episodes but gradually lost its pace in the following ones. I fast-forwarded through it to finish, especially since there were so many unnecessary scenes in the final episode that I wished they had ended it at episode 11. Half of the series was filled with the couple’s dream sequences, and there were hardly any substantial scenes. Even though they tried to salvage it with a last minute make love scene, sorry, it didn’t work. The writer wasted a beautiful subject with a trashy script. In the history of K-dramas, I’ve seen less terrible finales than this one, so my rating will be low.Cet avis était-il utile?
The Writing Style is That of an Old Crusty Boomer
Does the writer like women? The relationships are so toxic. The women are caricatures and the men are brutish and arrogant.The actors are acting and I'm trying to stick with it because of them. We shall see.... It's a hard watch so far. I hope it improves soon. I wish Netflix had a comments feature like Viki.
