Quando o Telefone Toca (2024)

When the phone rings I’ll answer your call

I have been waiting what seems like ages for this drama. I’m a fan of both leads and know they are great at what they do. What I haven’t seen from the both of them was a genre like this for the pair, so I’m happy to see something sort of new.

Dramas are getting stale for me these days but I always knew I was going to tune into this one. I’ll be honest though, say what I like and what I don’t.

What I’ll say right away is that the first episode hooks you in through the first scene alone. You wonder about the relationship of the leads and how it go to that point. Why is the husband so narcissistic? Why does the wife stay silent? How and why are they together?

It is clear it’s based on a contract, but I hope it goes into each layer and detail as to why. Thriller is a perfect genre for this idea and I know I’ve seen many contract marriage drama before.. but going the thriller route with it is such a smart move from a writing standpoint. Having all these questions hook the viewer, and to add to that you’ve got great visuals and chemistry.

I’ll comment briefly and add each episode though. I’m used to dramas being great the first few episodes and then really showing their true colors of not knowing what they are doing. Dramas greatest weakness are the runtimes being too long or too short these days. Thrillers have an advantage of being a slow burn though, so I am ok with a bit of slow build up as long as there are visual clues and smart dialogue that tie into each mystery.

Cha Soobin took a great role. She is very sincere with her acting and has a charm to her the same as Yoo Yeon Seok does. It’s seems like a pairing made from the heavens to me. What I’m happy to see is tension, the isolation within the relationship. I really wonder if the romance will work out or if it will be entirely a thriller and have one against the other. Soobin as I said is genuinely full of charm, and is quite cute in all her roles. Here although she isn’t as outspoken, she is just as cute. She is styled amazingly and her straight and long hair looks so stunning. She is quiet but has the acting chops to fill up her role with subtle expressions and emotions.

Yoo Yeon Seok is playing a tricky character. I don’t really know what to say of the lead he’s playing for now, I am enjoying that he is a demeaning figure. Obviously he is oppressive, but to play that sort of role and still have likability.. the man is doing it and it’s impressive. Also he of course is styled so well and looks beyond handsome. If only the couple were actually happy and perfect as they look haha

This is the only kdrama I’m watching at the moment but seriously that’s a lot for me. It means it is worth while and worth my time, so I would recommend.

? Thoughts After 4/12 Episodes: First Impressions ?

I must admit, I didn’t have high expectations for this drama 🤔 and was even tempted to skip it. The genres—Thriller, Mystery, Romance, Drama—didn’t grab me initially. 🤷‍♂️ And honestly (I can’t believe I’m saying this 😅), I wasn’t the biggest fan of either lead before this.

BUT WOW... this drama has completely changed my opinion! 😍 Both leads fit their roles perfectly, and their performances have really won me over. 👏👏 The cinematography, music, and OST? Absolutely stunning! 🎶✨

Yes, if you really dig, you can find plot issues and faults (as with any drama, tbh). But this isn’t one to nitpick over. Dramas are all about escapism, and this one, based on a novel 📖, does a fantastic job pulling you into its world.

At just 4 episodes in, I’m already hooked! 🥰 If they can keep this momentum going, this could easily turn into a standout drama. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Hope the ending is good and there is no plot hole !!!

Most Romantic drama series in 2024 are flop in the middle or at the end!!

Unfortunately, "When the phone rings" is still the best romantic plot line drama among them.

Hope hope the ending is good !!!

Hooked from the First Episode

The thing I love most about this TV series is the way it tells its story. There are plenty of plot twists that keep us guessing about what will happen next. From the very first episode, the storyline is captivating, and you’ll likely find yourself hooked.

The main leads are amazing. Their acting feels real, and their connection grows stronger as the story goes on. While their chemistry isn’t obvious at first, you’ll clearly see it develop in later episodes.

It’s no surprise that this drama secured 4th place on Netflix’s Top 10 Non-English TV Series list (Nov 18–24 week) after releasing just the first two episodes. It shows how much viewers are already loving this drama.

A Thrilling Experience With a Sensational Pairing

Would you get triggered if someone was threatening your fake wife?

This question and the most possibly reasonable answer to it doesn’t adhere to the premise for this show. After watching the first episode, I was exhilarated and compelled. The second episode left me confused, nevertheless wanting more. Starring Yoo Yeon Seok & Chae Soo Bin, the plotline might seem like a cliche “Enemies to Lover’s” trope; but it is anything except that. We have almost regal couple who have been faking their relationship from Day One; did circumstance push them together or it was a carefully maneuvered scheme by the groom who isn’t as unwilling as it seems. The first two episodes leave you with more questions than answers figuratively. The intricacies relative to the main leads is so mysterious, you can’t help but be intrigued by their differences. As the Presidential candidate’s son, Baek Sa Eon is a public figure in his own right. He doesn’t need to bask in his father’s glory, because he is a celebrity himself. The twist in the tale is that the public believe he is married to Hong In A, Hong Hui Ju’s elder sister. Since the wedding was private, no one has seen his wife yet. Seems suspicious yet, because won’t the paparazzi and media be digging into the private lives of the future President’s family. How Sa Eon managed to hide his wife from public eyes for three years will pique your curiosity; the question is intrinsic to this storyline and thus becomes the premise for this show.

The Ultimate Cold Lover Fantasy

If you’re all about that icy, cold-hearted bad boy who’s got the sharpest looks and a vibe that screams “I’m too good for you but I’ll take you anyway,” then Goo Dong-mae is your everything. This man is like a whole damn mood. He’s not just a hero; he’s the hero of your good girl fantasy, but with a plot twist that’ll leave you shook.

Let’s talk about his relationship with the main actress. She’s playing his wife of 3 years, but trust me, the drama here isn’t all romantic candle-lit dinners. This girl’s got more secrets than an encrypted phone with a voice modulator. She’s not just the obedient wife on the surface – no, she’s secretly playing him like a fiddle.

Now, spoiler alert – things get next level. The wife (aka the ultimate tease) blackmails Dong-mae with a pic of a mole on her thigh, and suddenly, it’s full-blown possession mode. Our dude is shook. He’s never even touched her like that, and now he’s spiraling. Like, he can’t stop obsessing over this mole, and the tension that builds while he tries to figure it out? Butterflies. You can’t make this stuff up, y’all.

If you’re looking for a drama that mixes cold dominance with sizzling mystery and a dash of betrayal, WHEN THE PHONE RINGS is your jam. Goo Dong-mae is serving cold-hearted lover vibes like no other, and I’m 10000% here for it. Go watch this, Divas. Trust me, it’s a real treat.

it a nice movie

This Drama is the savior of those failed to capture the heart of many kdrama fan like me. The turns and twist can makes you want more of it, the casting I mean the undeniable chemistry of the leads is quite amazing, before it aires some says it will fail as the leads age gap is huge but they prove it wrong. I watched 3 episodes, and I am already waiting for the next, there is a mystery from the past that connects the leads, and crazy how my intuition saying that the leads college friend is the mystery guy.This drama challenge the power of my intuition. Let see after more eps revealed. I hope the prod and director handle it well and not over cooked it. Kudos! we also feel the sparks between the two, it’s nice to be in love, much nicer if secretly.
