Byeon Woo Seok's agency to take legal action against malicious commenters
The upcoming new MBC Friday-Saturday K-drama When the Phone Rings released its first teaser.
The teaser begins with the protagonist Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok) — perfect in every way, be it family background, looks, or abilities — standing in front of numerous cameras and reporters, confidently saying, "I am Baek Sa Eon, the spokesperson for the presidential office."
However, the tone of the teaser shifts dramatically when Sa Eon receives a threatening phone call. At the same time, Sa Eon's wife, Hong Hui Ju (Chae Soo Bin), is seen breathing heavily and trembling in fear inside her car. The growing curiosity centers on who is threatening her and the tension between the show-window couple, Sa Eon and Hui Ju, after the threatening call.
In his standoff with the mysterious blackmailer, Sa Eon ultimately loses his composure and delivers a chilling warning: "Forget about being peacefully arrested. I'll definitely catch you with my own hands."
What secret is hidden in the threatening phone call that Sa Eon received? Watch the teaser here.
The K-drama also dropped stills of Jang Gyu Ri (The Player 2: Master of Swindlers, Cheer Up) who plays the role of Na Yu Ri, an announcer, in the K-drama.
Na Yu Ri is a broadcast station announcer. She graduated from a prestigious university and is a bright and lovable character who is beautiful and friendly in nature. She idolizes her senior at the station, Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok), and highly respects him.
But what Yu Ri doesn't know is that Hong Hui Ju (Chae Soo Bin) is Sa Eon's wife, the sign language interpreter who works with her on the news.
The stills capture Jang Gyu Ri transformed into Na Yu Ri. Dressed in a neat suit, she meticulously checks the script before sitting at the desk in front of the camera to deliver the news. From her gaze and expressions to her aura, Jang has transformed into a sharp and professional announcer, exuding professionalism.
Even in the stills, Jang Gyu Ri radiates an intellectual and graceful charm, heightening anticipation for how she will portray the confident announcer Na Yu Ri.
When the Phone Rings will premiere in November. More news about the K-drama's global OTT platform is yet to come.
