Clockwise: Yoo Yeon-seok, Chae Soo-bin, Jang Gyuri, Heo Nam-joon
MBC has announced the lineup for its upcoming romance thriller The Number You Have Dialed. Based off a web novel of the same name, the show revolves around a show window couple who receive a blackmail call that threatens to reveal their secrets.
Playing the husband Baek Sa-eon is Yoo Yeon-seok (A Bloody Lucky Day), a perfect man who has it all. From his background to his looks, Sa-eon seems spotless with his impressive resume as a war correspondent journalist, negotiator, news anchor, and now, the youngest Blue House press secretary. However, in front of his wife whom he married for convenience, he is a cold and calculating man.
Chae Soo-bin (The Fabulous) plays the aforementioned wife Hong Hee-joo. Due to a childhood accident, Hee-joo has mutism, and as an adult, she works as a successful sign language interpreter. After living in a loveless marriage for three years, one day a stranger kidnaps her, and Hee-joo decides from that moment to change her life.
Besides our main couple, Heo Nam-joon (Your Honor) joins the cast as psychiatrist Ji Sang-woo. Good looking and kind, he runs a mystery YouTube channel that specializes in unsolved cases. Unfortunately, his curiosity spells his own downfall as he gets caught up in a case much bigger than he imagined.
Lastly, Jang Gyuri (The Player 2) plays the lovely announcer Na Yoo-ri. Possessing both beauty and brain, Yoo-ri is a naturally friendly person, and her role model is Sa-eon. However, she is unaware that the interpreter she works with is his wife, and this secret may complicate their relationship going forward.
Written by Kim Ji-woon (Melancholia) and directed by PD Park Sang-woo (The Forbidden Marriage), MBC’s The Number You Have Dialed is slated for twelve episodes and will premiere sometime in November in the Friday-Saturday time slot.
