When the Phone Rings

This was on par with other Korean dramas. Romance. Sweetness. Easy on the eyes. Enjoyable. Bingeable...right until the last few mins of episode 11. Then it all became full on nonsense!

Episode 12 was completely unnecessary.

So watch it. It's a nice series. But stop close to the end of episode 11. You'll know at which part. I won't spoil it for you.

After that it's really, really not worth your time.

Of course, as with a K-Dramas, don't expect things to make any logical sense even from the beginning. Just enjoy it for what it is. Lots of cute scenes and characters. Beautiful background score to make you feel the warm fuzzies. Haha.

From 10 to an 8.

This was a great K Drama until the final episode.

I was hooked until episode 12 and I'm like what the heck happened? It was a complete turnaround. It did not make sense. I don't know what the production team was thinking. There are no spoilers here as I want to hear if other reviewers thought the same.

I don't want to spoil it, but my suggestion would be is to watch the first 11 episode and let it end there.

Don't bother watching episode 12 it would be a shame to say episode 12 was part of this amazing K drama. Whoever is on the production team that decided to greenlight episode 12 should be fired.

I did not expect much in a Kdrama like this when first reading the plot. The content is normally well but the chemistry and acting is too catchy and on the next level ! They potrayed the feelings, all doubts and hidden affection unbelievably soulful, especially the male. The intense in love charms the audience, a well-developed love story with Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin's perfect chemistry. I must say there are a few couples who fit their roles and their partners in such a passionate way from outward appearances to every gesture when they are together and these two are one of them. Worth the hype.

This drama has absolutely no logic or reason. It's as if someone very untalented hastily made up some text out of boredom and someone later took and paid famous actors to perform a show that I would describe as a combination of fifteen of the stupidest kdramas in one. All the worst clichés and scenes that you were embarrassed to watch before in these other bad kdramas are now lined up one after the other without a break in this drama. I am extremely uncomfortable watching how, along with a very bad story and a script without absolutely any sense (not to mention how my brain is leaking because this is literally brain rape of people who use it for thinking), they force some romance between a control freak who enjoys abusing and humiliating his fake wife and that poor thing who 99.9% of the time in this series has such a pathetic expression that screams misery and unhappiness. So what kind of people enjoy their "love" scenes? Are you turned on by a bully and his victim who kisses him with that face that constantly has fear and misery written all over it?? Really? And then they dare to throw in that he loved her all along while abusing her and making her feel pathetic little worthless thing. Hahahah omg. And this part where she talks and then she's mute again for a bit and then she talks again in front of random people and then she's mute again in front of some people.. I'd better not comment.. It's just to emarassing. What a nonsense series. Kdramas really are flying towards the bottom at the speed of light.

I completely agree with cherlockhome's review below.

The drama isn't finished yet, but I'm not willing to watch the last few episodes.

Apart from the idiotic way the female lead was written and the constant loop holes, the drama is 90% cringe fest. It might had been better if the lead actress matched the professional level of the lead actor, but it's still unbearable at times.

All these "passionate" or "sensual" moments they want to pass to the audience are an absolute disaster, as the script is childish and the chemistry between the leads is super forced.

Unfortunately, it's a common theme in KDramas lately, which is an indication they've either lost their sparkle or I've just become too old to relate to the content.

It would help if they stopped making these dramas to showcase the actors' beauty and endorsements and started paying attention to what really matters. The script and acting.
