Byeon Woo Seok's agency to take legal action against malicious commenters
MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama When the Phone Rings released actress Chae Soo Bin's (I'm Not a Robot) stills on October 15.
When the Phone Rings centers around a couple in their third year of arranged marriage. Despite being together for three years, the two have neither communicated with each other nor shared a meal. They would have continued living as usual, until their lives were turned upside down by a threatening phone call.
Chae Soo Bin takes on the role of Hong Hui Ju, Baek Sa Eon's (Yoo Yeon Seok) wife, who has been suffering from mutism since a childhood accident. Married to Sa Eon just for the sake of convenience, Hui Ju only fulfills only the minimal role of a wife necessary to show others, with no expectations or will regarding married life. She would have continued living as usual had she not been kidnapped by a mysterious figure one day. Ironically, after this incident, Hui Ju decides to change her life that had been at a standstill.
In the stills, Chae Soo Bin showcases the various aspects of Hong Hui Ju, a skilled sign language interpreter, the wife of a presidential spokesperson, and the stepdaughter of a media mogul. In one still, Hui Ju sits in a tidy outfit in a broadcasting news studio. Focused on her work as a sign language interpreter, she appears relaxed and stable.
In another still, she wears an elegant tweed jacket, her expression not particularly bright, raising curiosity about the kind of life she leads.
Expectations are high for Chae Soo Bin's portrayal of Hong Hui Ju's emotional depth.
When the Phone Rings will premiere in November broadcast. More news about the K-drama's global OTT platform is yet to come.
