Netflix subscribers are completely obsessed with a new Korean thriller that recently arrived on the streaming platform.
When The Phone Rings is a police drama starring Yoo Yeon-seok, Chae Soo-bin, and Heo Nam-jun. With two episodes released every week, the drama has already reached the status of the second most-watched non-English series on Netflix globally.
The story follows an unhappy couple whose lives are turned upside down three years after their arranged marriage. The couple, consisting of the political spokesperson Sa-eon and the selectively mute interpreter Hee-joo, despise each other, but their troubled marriage is tested when Hee-joo is kidnapped.
Sa-eon is dealing with a national emergency at work, so Hee-joo is devastated when her kidnapper manages to speak to her husband on the phone, only for Sa-eon to tell him to kill her.
Then, when Hee-joo manages to escape, she is furious and determined to win her husband’s affection back, while the duo must decode what the kidnapper truly wants.
There are four more episodes left for this season of the drama, with the next two being released on Friday (27) and Saturday (28). The final two episodes will air in early January 2025.
