The controversy surrounding this drama was a nothing-burger
When The Phone Rings
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Romance
Episodes: 12
Streamed on: Netflix
Plot Summary:
Pretending to be deaf and trapped in what seems to be a loveless marriage, one day, Hui Ju is kidnapped. The kidnapper calls her husband to inform him, and thinking it’s a prank call, he tells her to go ahead and kill her. What follows is a messy plot where the couple end up falling in love, and Hui continues to get kidnapped about a thousand more times.
Best of OST:
The stand out track from the OST (at least in my opinion). I’ve heard a few of her tracks and I’m quickly becoming a fan…

Overall the OST did ok.
Gripes:
That ending… It was going so well too, but the whole other country trip we had to make didn’t make much sense to me. I didn’t have a problem with the subtle (or not so subtle I guess) nod to the Palestine and Israel conflict. To me it seemed perfectly reasonable, I mean they could have even used the proper names to the countries and it would have been fine. It happened in a news station…
Re-watch:
**Would I watch it again?**
Nah, once was enough
**Would I watch it with my brother?**
Nah, he wouldn’t like it.
**Would I watch it with my kid?**
Nah, It doesn’t seem like a kid friendly show.
Final Thoughts:
The ending of a show really makes it. If you drop the cake taking it out of the oven, it doesn’t matter how well you mixed the ingredients.
Rating:
6.75/10
