Fans of the Korean drama When the Phone Rings are expressing their excitement for the final episodes (11 and 12) through humorous memes on social media. As the premiere of the final episodes approaches, fans have filled platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with funny posts and videos.
A Quick Look at ‘When the Phone Rings’
When the Phone Rings tells the story of Baek Sae On (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin), a married couple who live together but feel like strangers. Hee Joo acts naive, while Baek Sae On pretends to be cold, even though he deeply loves his wife.
Their lives change after a mysterious phone call. As they face new challenges, they start to understand their true feelings for each other. However, their love is tested when Hee Joo is kidnapped, causing chaos in their lives.
Fans are using humor to cope with the wait for new episodes, creating memes that joke about the show’s dramatic events. Some memes humorously react to Hee Joo’s frequent kidnappings, while others comment on the constant turmoil in the main characters’ lives.
In the ending scene of episode 10, Baek Sae On showed his true emotions as a husband, asking for help in finding his kidnapped wife. This scene has inspired many jokes and even mock search parties for Hee Joo online.
“Legit, they took the title so seriously, ‘When the phone rings.’ Why are they all calling them when they hug or having an itty-bitty, tiny romantic moment? Switch off the cellphones, cut the cables, and jam the signals!”
We forgot that the story is about the phone, that rings.
When the Phone Rings, starring Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin, first aired in late November 2024 and has gained a large following. Ten episodes have been released so far, and fans are eagerly waiting for the final two.
Episodes 11 and 12 of When the Phone Rings will air on MBC Network and Netflix on January 3 (Friday) and January 4 (Saturday).
