Drama “When The Phone Rings” to Take a Brief Hiatus on December 14 and 20 for special documentary in honor of Han Kang:
The hit MBC Friday-Saturday drama “When The Phone Rings” (Writer: Kim Ji-woon, Directors: Park Sang-woo and Wi Deok-kyu) will temporarily halt its broadcast schedule this December, as confirmed on November 28. The show, which has been gaining attention for its unique blend of suspense, comedy, and romance, will not air on December 14 and 20.
“When The Phone Rings” tells the intriguing story of a three-year-long arranged marriage between a “show window couple,” wrapped in secrets and threats initiated by an anonymous blackmail call. The drama, starring Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin, has captivated audiences with its compelling performances and unpredictable storyline.
The decision to pause the regular broadcast aims to create anticipation while giving viewers a chance to catch up on the show. Instead, on December 14, MBC will air a special documentary in honor of Han Kang, the first Korean author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature (tentative title). This will be followed by a binge-viewing marathon on December 20, featuring episodes 1 through 7, summarizing the first half of the season.
As the story progresses, “When The Phone Rings” continues to build momentum, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its return. The drama airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM KST and has become a favorite among viewers for its fresh take on romance and suspense.
While the hiatus may momentarily disrupt the weekly routine for fans, the special programming ensures that both new and returning audiences can stay engaged with the drama’s evolving narrative. Viewers can mark their calendars for December 14 and 20 for these exciting alternative broadcasts and prepare for the continuation of “When The Phone Rings” thereafter.
