Premiere Watch: When the Phone Rings – Review and Analysis

Time slot: Friday-Saturday
Broadcaster: MBC
Genre: Romance, thriller
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Netflix

Reasons to watch: In the recent past we’ve seen a yearning Yoo Yeon-seok and a rampant Yoo Yeon-seok, but now we get both polarities combined in When the Phone Rings. Here, he plays a Blue House press secretary whose arranged marriage to Chae Soo-bin (yay!) is not what it seems… especially after she gets kidnapped and he has to save her. Or whatever is exactly going on here. Surely there are layers in store here, and it’s the cast and the romance-thriller premise that has my interest piqued.
