The original author of When the Phone Rings, the hit MBC drama starring Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin, is all praises for the amazing chemistry between the two lead actors.

The author, Geon Eo Mul Nyeo, shared their excitement, saying, "Now when I read the original work, I hear Yoo Yeon Seok's voice. The version of 'Baek Sa Eon' in the drama feels even sexier than in the novel."

The drama, a thrilling romance about a couple in a political marriage, has taken the world by storm since its debut on November 29.

With its explosive popularity, When the Phone Rings is currently ranked number two globally on Netflix and is a top trending TV show in 48 countries. The original web novel has also seen huge success, with viewership and sales skyrocketing after the drama's release.

Yoo Yeon Seok plays Baek Sa Eon, a seemingly cold spokesperson for the presidential office, who hides his deep feelings for his wife, Hong Hee Joo, played by Chae Soo Bin.

Geon Eo Mul Nyeo praised Yoo Yeon Seok's portrayal, saying, "His deep gaze and low, resonant voice are exactly Baek Sa Eon."

The author also raved about Chae Soo Bin’s portrayal of Hong Hee Joo, describing her as "a live-action version of the character" with her "rabbit-like face" and "clumsy threatening gestures."

The chemistry between Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin has captivated fans, and the author couldn't be happier with how the drama has brought their characters to life.

Geon Eo Mul Nyeo also expressed their approval of the drama’s new characters, such as Ji Sang Woo, played by Heo Nam Joon, and Na Yoo Ri, played by Jang Gyu Ri, who were not in the original web novel but fit perfectly into the story.

The author explained that When the Phone Rings focuses on the theme of “communication,” and these new characters help build on that idea. Geon Eo Mul Nyeo added, "I’m curious to see how these characters will influence the relationship between Baek Sa Eon and Hong Hee Joo."

With its gripping storyline and stunning character development, When the Phone Rings is quickly becoming a must-watch drama.

Episode 5 airs on December 13 at 9:40 PM, and episode 6 follows on December 14 at 9:50 PM.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
