The K-drama “When the Phone Rings,” airing on MBC, has released new photos teasing upcoming developments in the story. The drama tells the story of Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin), who entered into a marriage of convenience that evolves into true love after a threatening phone call.
Previous Events and Hee Joo’s Disappearance
In earlier episodes, Sa Eon and Hee Joo faced many difficulties, such as threats from Hee Joo’s kidnapper (Park Jae Yoon) and betrayal by Park Do Jae (Choi Woo Jin). Despite these challenges, their bond grew stronger. During the memorial for Baek Jang Ho’s (Jung Dong Hwan) first death anniversary, Hee Joo was kidnapped again. She intentionally caused a car accident to protect Sa Eon, leaving viewers in suspense.
Sa Eon visited the crash site and publicly announced her identity, determined to find her at any cost, even as it takes a toll on his health.
Family at the Accident Site and Sa Eon’s Suspicion
Hong In Ah (Han Jae Yi), Baek Eui Yong (Yoo Sung Joo), Hong Il Kyung (Choi Kwang Il), and Kim Yeon Hee (Oh Hyun Kyung) also gathered at the accident scene. Yeon Hee looks devastated by her daughter’s disappearance, while Il Kyung, filled with anger, grabs Eui Yong. As Sa Eon watches the grieving family, he starts to suspect his mother, Shim Kyu Jin (Choo Sang Mi), who is notably absent.

Despite finding clues that suggest Hee Joo might be dead, Sa Eon refuses to lose hope and continues to analyze the situation carefully.
Confrontation in the Police Station
The latest photos show a tense meeting between Sa Eon and Kyu Jin in a police interrogation room. This leaves viewers wondering why Kyu Jin is being investigated and what Sa Eon will do next in his search for Hee Joo.
The next episode of “When the Phone Rings” will be broadcast on January 3 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
