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.

Thank you! That phone call scene is funny, it's the scene that made me laugh the most in the drama.
Exactly, the real PSE was given too much attention towards the end of the drama, they treated him as if he was the SML. In my opinion, SML and SFL story was not explored as it should.
It's a good watch for me, too, even if I'll rewatch, that'll be after a year, or maybe six months!
Even though the ending was kinda confusing, I didn't expect its rating to drop from 8.9 to 8.3, that's going overboard.

It has been quite a journey! I finally completed this drama. It's a wonderful drama, but I won't deny, it does have its flaws. I summarized the flaws and merits in my review. Here's the link.https://kisskh.at/profile/Mosesck/review/417884

This was all good until the second princess came into the show. What's worse is the mistaken identity trope, it's getting tiring and annoying. I can't seem to feel any chemistry between FL and ML. Xu Qi An had more chemistry with Caiwei than he does with this dumb FL. I hope they focus more on XQ's journey to becoming a real warrior than the romance in this one cuz obviously, the second princess is not a good match for XW!

Happy New Year🎊💝 Indeed, last year was tiring, but cheers, we all made it. I'm glad to have met you last year🎊 That is one of the best things that happened to me last year. Now I'm not saying we agree on everything, however, I can very well say we agree on many things, and for that, I'm glad our paths crossed. Cheers to another year of friendship 🥂

Yes, it seemed like yesterday when you changed your pfp and wrote "where there's peace of mind". How time flies. I'm sooooo happy you finally got that peace of mind cuz you're really stressed from the war that went on for some time. I'm glad it eventually ended with a truce. Although it's said to be a two month truce, but I'm optimistic the war will not resurface after the two months truce. It's really nice to see the old you free from the worries of war. This year started peacefully and I hope it concludes as such. Looking forward to a great new year together ❤️💖

Wow, your pfp captures the essence💞 I can feel how much you were captivated by the leads chemistry just with your stunning and lovely pfp. I think this is the first time I've seen you use the gif of the main couple in a drama. Hats off for your pfp❤️❤️ I like it. That means we have another drama to discuss about. I can't believe you really watched it, and loved, it feels like a dream. I pinched myself to check if I was dreaming when I saw the gif of When the Phone Rings main couple as your pfp. It's indeed fascinating.
That reminds me, what's your favourite scenes in all those ten episodes? Mine is when the Hong Hee Joo asked the blackmailer to call Paik Sa Eon back when he said, "call me back once there's a corpse. "Wow, so she can speak!" I was very surprised with that scene, the way she raced off was quite a sight, I loved that scene. Plus, when Paik Sa Eon went inside the interview room to interview Hong Hee Joo personally, the way they looked at each other, their conversation, it's lovely. A massive applause👏👏 for Yoon Yeo Seok, Chae Soo Bin, the casts, screenwriter, the director, and all the crews for making the show a masterpiece! Honestly, I couldn't ask for more!
You're right, whether When the Phone Rings is going to air this week still is a mystery due to the air crash that happened in Seoul two days ago, it's sad and heartbreaking. The whole country is mourning the loss of their citizens who died in the air crash. I hope the sole of departed rest in peace!

Those haters are just too much, they should just give it a rest cuz this is already a successful drama. They keep writing destructive critisms in the hopes of sabotaging its success, well, I hate to break it to them, It's still trending on Netflix and among the top 5. I'll be dropping comments there before the last episode air, I'd like to see the reaction of the critiques! I'd have posted some comments already, but I've been too busy trying to clean my closets. Also, I'm trying to finish as many dramas as I can before the holidays season ends🤗🤗

You're right, Namib's rating is not improving, on the contrary, it's going down. I guess most of it comes down to the character of the FL and the SML's zero chemistry with every actress. Well, I didn't expect much from him though, so I won't be disappointed cuz I know he doesn't have the slightest chemistry with any of his costar. If he has time for "inferiority complex", then he should start thinking of ways to provide for the family. If FL's husband is not doing any of that, then he's an hypocrite. I know am might look bad for saying this, but I will. "I hope SML cheats and have as many flings as he can so their marriage can crumble cuz obviously, their married life with zero chemistry is a torture for watchers😡 I hope the relationship of FL and ML gets better, if not romantic, at least, I'd like to see a relationship of trust between those two!

That said, Happy New Year once again, pal. I wish all the best in this New Year💖❤️

Aww, thanks a lot, pal, for the well wishes. You're the best ❤️💖 . I remember you told me you want peace of mind and tranquility, just like your pfp, may your wishes and deepest desires be granted in the upcoming new year❤️ You're right, next year's February officially makes it a year since we've been friends. How time flies! I'm really glad we became friends, that's one of the best things that happened to me this year!

I almost forgot about that part of the "inferiority complex". You're right, FL's husband in Namib could be one with an inferiority complex. For all we know, he might be displeased with the fact that the roles were reversed. He's the live in husband, while the FL who's wife provides for the family. I hate to say this but I will, the fact that FL is having problems with her husband kinda makes me happy. Personally, I want their misunderstanding to lead to a divorce! Why? It's because this drama is bound to be very boring should SML be given too much screentime with the FL. Most especially if they are romantic scenes, I don't think I can't stand such scenes. So, I think the screenwriter and the director made the right decision by not making it a lovey dovey marriage story. I really can't stand SML in romantic drama. I think I'll wait for the first half of Namib to air before giving it a try, Korean time slot of airing drama sucks. So I think it's better to wait for more episodes to air before watching. I'll give you a feedback once I've started!

Indeed, all those baseless critiques on When the Phone Rings's ML, Yoon Yeo Seok are clearly attempts of sabotage. They want to spread hate to low its ratings, or perhaps keep it from rising any further. It's a good thing their attempt to low the drama's rating didn't work, but it appears their scheme of keeping the rating from increasing is working. I don't know why some people are so hellbent on criticizing what's not. Now I'm not saying I don't criticize dramas that don't meet expectations, however, my critisms thus far has been fair. More importantly, they were unbiased, and undirected towards any actor. Critiques are acceptable, but sabotage is not. I'm looking forward to when you'll finally give this one a try, I can assure you it'll be worthwhile!

Indeed, once you decide to open the window and look through it, you'll see new things. If you need some recommendations, let me know, I'll be glad to help. Noona romance drama are indeed interesting, but watching only one genre is not all that fun, exploring different genre is!
Happy new year in advance, pal 🥂

Indeed, it is a great occasion, worthy of remembering. Thanks for the well wishes and greetings, pal💫❤️ In the upcoming new year, I hope it'll be a year full of joy, great achievements, and success for you. I hope all your unfulfilled wishes, dreams, and aspirations will come true in 2025🧞‍♂️🧞‍♂️

There are a lot of critisms, that's just to mention a few. I won't criticize her character cuz it might be due to pressure. Like you said, "her son is deaf", plus, she's the one providing for the family, so all these may have turned her into an ice. I'm not surprised she's having problems in her marriage, recall I said previously that the said SML has never had any chemistry with his past costars, and obviously, this one won't be any different. I think it's better they don't have a good relationship, that way, the drama won't be boring. Even if there's zero chance of romance between the FL and ML, I still don't want FL to have a romance of zero chemistry with the SML.

Oh? I think I'll have to read the comments in When the Phone Rings drama page to see the critics about the ML. " Yoon Yeo Seok has Wrinkles"? They've got to be kidding me, Yoo Yeon Seok looks like he's still in his early 30s, he doesn't like he's in his 40s one bit. I wonder where they dug up that ridiculous critique from. It's obvious the critiques are from trolls trying to sabotage the drama, cuz they can't stand the fact that its ratings is soaring. They are furious because it has surpassed, and is about to surpass many popular kdramas on MDL, so I guess that ignited their anger. It's surprising that people are still on that same topic till now, are they not tired of it? I thought all those ridiculous critiques were only directed at noona romance drama, I didn't know it has infected older man/younger man dramas, too. These people are unbelievable! Yoon Yeo Seok and Chae Soo Bin's chemistry is one of the most unique chemistry I've seen in my many years of watching kdramas. So, they should stop their destructive critisms!

Indeed, you should try new things and broaden your horizon. You might find yourself loving what you see. How about you try historical Kdramas or Cdramas out for starters? You can check my list of competed dramas and try out the ones I gave high of ratings of 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 etc
I'll definitely make sure to visit your watchlist to see if there are other Thai dramas I can add to my ptw list. You know me too well. You're right, I use the GIFs of leads with unique chemistry and leads in The Secret of Us were no different. I was surprised with their natural chemistry.
I've guessed you have shifted our chatting here since we've been replying each other here for quite a while now. So, yes, let's continue our chats here!
