MBC‘s new K-Drama, When The Phone Rings, adapted from Geoneomulnyeo‘s Webtoon, has become a viral hit.
Paik Sa-Eon (Yoo Yeon-Seok) comes from a prestigious political family and he became the youngest presidential spokesman in Korea. His background also includes time spent as a war correspondent, hostage negotiator, and main anchorman. He married Hong Hee-Joo (Chae Soo-Bin) 3 years ago. She is the daughter of a newspaper proprietor. She has mutism due to an accident she had when she was little. She works as a sign language interpreter in court and on television. Paik Sa-Eon & Hong Hee-Joo got married largely due to convenience. For the past 3 years, they haven’t communicated with each other or have meals together. They pretend they are a happily married couple. One day, Hong Hee-Joo is kidnapped by an unidentified person. This changes their marriage life.

Yet, the chemistry doesn’t stop just because the director yells, “Cut!” or the cameras stop recording. The actors repeatedly prove they are close offscreen as well. Recent behind-the-scenes clips have especially proven this.

In Episode 10, the kidnapper drove toward Sa Eon and Hee Joo, but he pulled her in, falling to the side. The attention to detail was notable in the behind-the-scenes clip, as he protected her.

While it was a scary scene, the actors were still cute and playful between takes. Fans noticed how Yeon Seok petted Soo Bin’s head after the take.

Douyin comments :
-Uncle, the romance you mentioned 📷is in your behind-the-scenes footage.
-You can't touch a man's head casually. The last person who touched a male actor's head had already given herself to him.
– Who among the younger generation would dare to touch the head… pic.twitter.com/Vzhv0hALZc— D E V watching WTPR (@MaumDev85) January 2, 2025
Yet, due to their chemistry, another behind-the-scenes clip has sent fans into meltdown. At the start of Episode 10, Hee Joo imagined a sweet moment when Sa Eon playfully woke her up with kisses and tickles.

The behind-the-scenes was even more playful. Even after the director called “Cut,” Yeok Seok seemed to want to keep playing with Soo Bin, who attempted to tickle him after he tickled her. When he appeared not ticklish, she went for his feet, which he hid.
The way soobin tries to counterattack by tickle Yeonseok's body but when he told her didn't feel ticklish, Soobin searched for his feet, but yeonseok hid his feet from soobin's reach & playfully pretended to kick her. THEY'RE SO PLAYFUL #WhenThePhoneRingsEp10#WhenThePhoneRings pic.twitter.com/YmapzT2XiV

Both actors are under the agency King Kong by Starship and have known each other for several years. When The Phone Rings isn’t their first time working together, they previously appeared in a coffee commercial and Starship Game Caterers together. Naturally, having known each other so long, their chemistry will be unmatched.
