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.
