When the Phone Rings: Ratings skyrocket, fans are "crazy" because the male lead acts so coolly

On November 22, the movie When The Phone Rings starring Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin aired on MBC and Netflix, attracting the attention of many viewers and is currently causing a fever across forums.

Before it aired, When the Phone Rings didn't get much attention, but when it did, audiences were quickly captivated by the film. The script isn't new, but the appeal of When the Phone Rings is still so strong that it makes audiences fall in love.

After 2 episodes aired with extremely impressive performance, episode 3 of When the Phone Rings of course still did not disappoint viewers when it continued to open up the past mysteries of the female lead Hee Joo (played by Chae Soo Bin) and revealed the true face of the kidnapper.

According to Nielsen Korea, the latest episode's ratings increased sharply, reaching an average viewership rating of 5.6% in the metropolitan area and 6% nationwide - 1.3% higher than episode 2 aired last week. At the same time, this is also the highest rating record since the drama aired.

Returning to the main developments of episode 3, after many times playing "cat and mouse" by impersonating the kidnapper, Sa Eon suspected that his wif.e was behind everything, but he was quickly fooled by Hee Joo's love and weakness, so he no longer wanted to check the red mole on her leg. After that, the more the pervert showed how much he understood him, the more he did the opposite. Therefore, even though he had not slept in the same bed for 3 years, this time he "shamelessly" entered Hee Joo's bedroom and wanted her to lie next to him. Sa Eon even did not let Hee Joo turn her back to him.

While lying next to each other, Hee Joo's eyes showed confusion but not discomfort even though Sa Eon always forced her to do as he wanted. At this time, the scene suddenly returned to the past when the female lead was young. Similar to the original work that was previously spoiled by netizens, Hee Joo had an acciden.t in the past. But her survival was not a stroke of luck because the chairman's son passed away, the second daughter was deaf, so Hee Joo's being unharmed would become a disaster.

So Hee Joo's mother gagged her and forced her to remain mute for life. This made Hee Joo even more miserable. The tragedy ended when Hee Joo received a phone call from the kidnapper. He was very interested in knowing that Hee Joo was impersonating him to threaten her husband for a divorc.e, and even supported her to go all the way. This move made Hee Joo's already tragic life even more deadlocked.

Episode 3 of the drama ended with Hee Joo running out of the car after recalling a series of horrifying memories and bursting into tears. Then, on the road suddenly appeared a car cleared by the police, Baek Sa Eon ran to the little wif.e, admitting to everyone that this was his wif.e. This domineering and affectionate scene helped When the Phone Rings' viewership ratings skyrocket, peaking at 6.5% at the time of broadcast.

When the Phone Rings is set in the Korean upper class, focusing on the arranged marriage of presidential spokesperson Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok) and sign language interpreter Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin). Their three-year marriage was rocky until Hong Hee Joo was arrested and Baek Sa Eon received threatenin.g calls. In fact, these calls were made by Hong Hee Joo, but thanks to that, her relationship with Baek Sa Eon changed.

For the audience, When the Phone Rings has a script that has been popular for more than a decade, mixing elements of marriage before love, secret admiration, misunderstanding and even tragedy. At first, the audience was quite afraid that When the Phone Rings would become a "mixed pot" because it crammed in too many elements, but surprisingly, the film still maintained its logic and tightness. Even those elements that seemed to be weaknesses became the reason to keep the audience, and above all, made them "infatuated with no way out".
