Quand le téléphone sonne

Storyline: Episodes 1 to 5 : superb. It hooks you in and can binge watch.

Episodes 6 to 10 : decent Episodes 11, 12 : worst. Can't imagine it is the same drama.

Why does it still get a 7 rating: Acting: top notch from everyone involved in all the episodes. Especially the leads. Their chemistry is off the charts.

Music: suits the drama perfectly. You can listen to it in loop. See the light song from the drama is one of the best ones that has come out recently.

Cinematography: extremely well done on how they depict different moods and settings Direction : Saves the weak Story line across the episodes.

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.

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.

At first, When the Phone Rings grabs your attention. The premise is intriguing, and the way the story unfolds in the beginning makes it hard to look away. The characters have great chemistry, and their interactions feel natural, which adds to the enjoyment. As the plot progresses, it builds up some good expectations, making you curious about how things will turn out.

But that's where the good things end.

The ending of this series is absolutely awful. It's not just bad-it's stupid and completely ridiculous! The way the story wraps up makes no sense, and it feels like the writers didn't even try to give us a satisfying conclusion. It's frustrating because the potential was there, but it's all wasted.

If you're thinking about watching this series, don't bother. Sure, the beginning is interesting, but the ending will leave you angry that you spent your time on it. Trust me, this is one of those shows you'll wish you skipped.

In short: Interesting start, good chemistry, terrible ending. Don't waste your time!

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and was a little surprised to see some of the negative reviews about it. To be fair, I am an English-speaking person and only started getting into K-dramas last year, so I watched this entire series with closed captions. I liked the relationship between the main characters-yes, some parts were a little "cheesy," but overall, I thought their relationship was cute. I even found myself laughing at the villain, thinking, "When is this guy going to die? He has more than nine lives!" The one part of the series I didn't like was the ending. The last episode felt almost like a completely different plot, and I'm not sure why the writers went in that direction. Honestly, the series could have ended at the 11th episode.

That said, I still found the series pretty entertaining overall. I encourage you to form your own opinion rather than being influenced by the negative comments.
