When The Phone Rings, Netflix’s latest Kdrama sensation, has viewers hooked with its gripping storyline and the sizzling chemistry between Yoo Yeon-Seok and Chae Soo-Bin. Released on November 22, the series has quickly become a global hit, climbing Netflix's charts and igniting fan theories about its mysterious plot.

The drama’s suspenseful narrative took an electrifying turn in the fourth episode when Baek Sa-Eon, played by Yoo Yeon-Seok, discovered that his seemingly mute wife, Hong Hee-Joo (Chae Soo-Bin), could actually speak. This revelation has fans eagerly awaiting the next episode, wondering how this twist will unravel.

As the story deepens, viewers are trying to decipher who the real antagonist might be. One character at the centre of this speculation is Park Do-Jae, portrayed by Choi Woo-Jin. As a trusted administrative officer and Sa-Eon’s right-hand man, Do-Jae’s actions have raised eyebrows. Fans suspect a connection between him and the caller threatening Sa-Eon, noting similarities in their eyes and the timing of events.

One fan speculated, “Do-Jae is always present when the caller strikes. There’s definitely more to him than meets the eye.” Another viewer pointed out subtle hints in his conversations with Sa-Eon, suggesting he might be an accomplice in the sinister plot.

Social media is abuzz with praise for the show’s unpredictable twists and stellar performances. One fan shared, “Four episodes in, and this drama has me on edge! The plot twists are mind-blowing, and the chemistry between the leads is incredible.” Another exclaimed, “This is the first time I’ve watched a drama where I didn’t skip a single scene. Every moment is pure genius!”

What’s Happened So Far?

The series began with a chilling attempt to kidnap Hee-Joo, which set the tone for the psychological thriller. In the pilot episode, the kidnapper’s phone ends up in Hee-Joo’s possession and she uses it to blackmail her husband into filing for divorce.

Since then, the plot has intensified. Sa-Eon, caught between his growing protectiveness for Hee-Joo and the chaos unfolding in his professional life, navigates bomb threats, emotional turmoil, and the shadowy schemes of unknown villains. Meanwhile, Hee-Joo faces threats from the kidnapper, who coerces her into making risky choices to ensure her father’s safety.

With the tension escalating, fans are eagerly counting down to the release of the next episode, asking, “What’s next?” Will Sa-Eon uncover the truth about Park Do-Jae? What lies ahead for Hee-Joo and her husband’s complicated relationship? Episodes 5 and 6 of the Kdrama will be available for streaming on Netflix on December 6 and 7, 2024, respectively.
