Reposting your comment on the mistranslation will sure go a long way. Although I still think many have turn a deaf ear to the truth. Sadly, the ratings is fixed. And unfortunately, the ratings might keep dropping!

As long as the leads don't get separated and don't break up, it's all good. I get where you're coming from though. That feeling of expecting more but was given lesser than expected is not so good!

Yes, you're right. Indeed, it's as if a disastrous campaign was launched against the drama. How the ratings dropped overnight really came as a surprise. Although I was expecting it to drop, I wasn't expecting it to drop as much as 0.8 overnight. But then again, just as there are many fans out there, the haters are no less. So, what we are witnessing is not too surprising!

I posted a comment out of frustrating as I couldn't stand how they are making the drama seem like a boring one. So, I just have to drop a comment. If my comment is attacked, then so be it. At least, I was able to change the perspective some had of the drama!

It's more like the unprovoked wrath of the people!

To be honest, I'm just as pissed. It's enraging and maddening how many downvoted this drama just because of a mistranslation. I also checked with some friends and it's indeed a mistranslation. Plus, I've been on the lookout for articles the production company apologizing to the public, however, thus far, I've seen none. That goes to show that that scene was not targeting the palestines. Yes, the ratings can't go back to the way it was. It's sad, but that's the truth.
Happy New Year by the way 🎉🥂

Couldn't agree more. The bot accounts are responsible for this drama's low rating. I really don't understand what they stand to gain by downvoting this drama, it's beyond my comprehension!
Personally, I don't watch a drama based on the comments and ratings, but as you we well know, many prefer to judge dramas by their ratings and the comments of the watchers. So, I guess the reason there's been no changes in the ratings is because many are boycotting the drama upon seeing the ratings and the negative comments!

It's disheartening to see the ratings plummet from 8.9 to 8.1 overnight due to a mistranslated scene by Netflix. Viewers are protesting by downvoting, but the drama shouldn't bear the brunt of their frustration, Netflix is to blame. Some even went ahead and created alternate accounts just to downvote it. This captivating drama deserves better than 8.1. To potential viewers discouraged by negative comments and ratings, don't be swayed, it's a worthwhile watch. Don't listen to the naysayers, try it out and make your own judgements based on the contents!

Yes, the bot accounts are the nightmare of this drama. Most of the accounts have checked thus far downrated this drama big time. While checking their accounts, I was seeing ratings like 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, that's not even the most infuriating part, what's more infuriating is that those accounts were created recently!

You flatter me, actually, I am not that good. However, I'll follow your suggestion and post a comment in the comment section. I hope it makes people drop the prejudice they have against this drama.

Since it's a positive open ending, then I'll be sure to watch it. Plus, I know Wang Chu Ran is going to slay her role. I've added it to my ptw list already!

The critisms about this drama is not even the worse part, do you what's worse? It's the fact that many are hiding under the pretext of a fair watcher, but the truth is, they are haters who were waiting for the drama to show just a little flaw so they could make a big issue out of it. I don't get why they are hell-bent on downgrading this drama because of that insignificant scene, it's insane!

I agree, the haters wants everyone to hate the drama so its ratings will drop more than it already has. With how the rating is dropping, I just hope it doesn't drop lower than 8.0. Many are creating alternate accounts just to sabotage this drama. At this point, I don't know what to write to change the minds of the potential watchers who are being discouraged by the negative comments!

I'll be sure to give you a feedback!

Oh? I love second chance at love dramas, so I'll be adding it to my watchlist. As you already know, I don't mind open endings, as long as the ending is not rushed, nor confusing, then it's okay. Snowy Night Timeless Love had a sad ending, but it's one of my favorite dramas!

It's useless trying to change those whose minds are made up. So, I'm not surprised the ratings is not rising, even though the misconception has been cleared up! Of course, in their opinion, those who loved this drama don't have human feelings, on the other hand, the ones downrating it are the humane ones. Well, I don't care what they think, no one can change my perspective on the fact that When the Phone Rings is a captivating drama.

Couldn't agree more! Second leads should have been listed as support roles, obviously, they're treated as support characters!

I read and glanced through some comments yesterday, and it appears the comment section is becoming peaceful as it used to be. From my own perspective, I think many are downrating this drama under the pretext of having human feelings. Speaking of human feelings, quite a good numbers of people have it, so I don't see why I need to get worked up over something that's not worth it. Besides, they didn't criticize the palestines in the drama, did they? Also, that scene only lasted but for a few minutes, less than 3 minutes, I think. So, I don't get why people are so agitated over that short part.

I would have given this 9.0 or even 9.5 if the last four episodes didn't go off track. There were too many unresolved matters, plus, the second couple stuff added to my complaints. So, after weighing the merits and flaws, I decided on 8.5, which you also agreed it's a fair rating.

A big ending? In my opinion, I think they almost ruined the whole drama with how the ending was written. Is "Have a crush on you" an interesting drama?

The ratings has dropped to 8.2. Now I don't know if it's the watchers who are fuming over the ending and that news scene, or whether it's the haters who are downrating the drama, I'm confused! All we can hope for now is that the ratings don't drop any lower than it already has!

I'll define reply you in Namib comment section. I would have already but I'm busy cuz the holidays has ended☹️☹️ I'm back to the busy old days

That's why I wonder if another writer wrote the last four episodes cuz it's as if I was watching another drama entirely during those episodes!

Thank you for your kind words, pal. Many are emphasizing on the Argan part, especially the news part. That scene is like the activation energy that prevented the chemical reaction of this drama. That part should have been edited out, it only sparked many outrage, I don't get why many are so furious though. Let's look at it this, they needed an excuse for Sa Eon's sudden travel for negotiation, so they included that part. Yes, I miss those times, too. Just some weeks ago, the comment section was full of praises and positive comments and replies, but now, the page is a shadow of what it used to be. It's a pity!

There are great and steamy kiss scenes though, but I do agree with you on the fact that the story went deep into the thriller genre. However, I think it's because you're not a fan of those kind of genres, otherwise, you'd have gotten used to it. My complaints about this drama is the last four episodes, it's as if the screenwriter wrote another story's ending for this one.

Thank you, pal, for reading and always supporting my reviews❤️ You're right, Hong Hee Joo's mother is cruel, Sa Eon's fake mother is crueler. At least, Hee Joo's mother worried about her daughter's safety when Hee Joo was in danger, but Sa Eon's fake mother? She is way too cruel, she's a demon in a human form. How can she say that to Sa Eon? Even though he's not her real son, she should at least have some affection for him, after all, she raised him for many years. Oh well, it's her loss she failed to love Sa Eon, she's unworthy to be called a mother. No wonder, she's alone, it serves her right.

Yes, the comment section of When the Phone Rings has become nasty and a battlefield. I don't know how it became that way though. Haters took the opportunity of the Argan stuff to stir up chaos. I've watched some dramas were there's a similar scene but no one mentioned it. I don't get why they're making it an issue here. The ratings couldn't have dropped from 8.9 to 8.3 overnight, not unless people are creating different accounts to downrate this drama. I just hope the ratings doesn't decrease further cuz this show deserves more than this.
