When the Phone Rings Reaches New Heights

When the Phone Rings, a romance thriller, is nearing its end. The episode broadcast on January 3, 2024, received an average nationwide rating of 8.3 percent, according to Nielsen Korea. This is the highest rating the show has achieved so far.

The drama tells the story of Baek Sa Eon and Hong Hui Ju, who entered into a marriage of convenience. For three years, they lived separate lives under the same roof, barely interacting and keeping up appearances as a happy couple for others. Their relationship changes after a big incident. The drama is based on the web novel The Number You Have Dialed by Geon Eomul Nyeo.

Love Scout Makes a Promising Debut

A new K-drama, Love Scout, premiered this week, airing in the same time slot as When the Phone Rings. The first episode, also broadcast on January 3, 2025, recorded 5.2 percent in viewership ratings.

Love Scout focuses on Kang Ji Yun, a successful CEO of a headhunting company. She is very focused on her career and maintaining her position in the competitive industry. However, her personal life is a different story.

Yoo Eun Ho, her secretary, takes care of many things for her. Unlike his boss, Eun Ho is kind, polite, and caring. He is also a single father and good at both parenting and housework. This creates a contrast between his down-to-earth personality and Ji Yun’s work-centered life. New episodes of Love Scout will air every Saturday and Sunday.
