The MBC Friday-Saturday drama When the Phone Rings reaches its final episode on the 4th, leaving viewers eager to see how the story unfolds. Fans have been captivated by the emotional journey of Hong Hee-joo (Chae Soo-bin) and Baek Sa-eon (Yoo Yeon-Seok), whose fates have been intertwined through suspense and heartbreak.
Hae-Joo’s Waiting Game
The story takes a dramatic turn as Hee-joo is left alone after a series of intense events. She survived Shim Gyu-jin’s (Choo Sang-mi) plot and reunited with Sa-eon briefly, only to face more obstacles. The kidnapper (Park Jae-yoon) relentlessly targeted the pair, leading to a tense confrontation that ended with a gunshot. The shocking moment left viewers questioning the fate of Sa-eon.
A mysterious phone call from an overseas number added another layer of intrigue. In newly released stills, Hee-joo appears lost in thought as she looks at the sky, unable to move on from Sa-eon. Her empty gaze speaks volumes about her longing, leaving viewers deeply moved by her pain.
A New Lead Brings Hope
Amidst her despair, Hee-joo uncovers a clue about Sa-eon’s whereabouts. She approaches Jang Hyuk-jin (Go Sang-ho), a close friend of Sa-eon, for help. However, Hyuk-jin’s reaction to her determination suggests that finding Sa-eon won’t be easy. This sets the stage for a tense and emotional conclusion as Hee-joo fights to reunite with Sa-eon.
Adding to the tension, Hong In-ah (Han Jae-yi) delivers cryptic advice to Hee-joo, leaving her visibly emotional. Their conversation hints at hidden truths, but its full meaning remains a mystery.
A Long-Awaited Ending
The production team has promised a memorable conclusion to the 20-year love story between Sa-eon and Hee-joo. Whether their bond can withstand the challenges they’ve faced remains to be seen. Fans are eager to learn the fate of the “Saju Couple” and how their journey ends in the series finale.
