On When the Phone Rings Jan 11, 2025
Title When the Phone Rings Spoiler
argan, headscarf, yellow filter, warzone, rebels, paltima and izamel. where these as well as sae on's disappearance necessary? felt like I was watching a different drama and it was so out of character. how the country of argan was represented rubbed me the wrong way as well. as for the line about izamel, I am not sure if it is a mistranslation or not so I will not comment, but if it wasn't, that is disheartening.
There were some problems with the ending, and it felt a bit rushed.

1. Why didn't Maidservant Kim just run out during the time she was talking to Park Jin? It took so long and she didn't do anything. She also could have left way before after carrying Lady Jin inside, it's not like they are best friends.

2. Why does Cho Yeong/Naksu still have Bu Yeon's/Seol Ran's powers? Didn't they leave already?
3. She didn't completely shift looks back to how she originally looked, although they tried with the darker eyebrows there were still some differences.

4. Let's be honest, her powers are lame. And what do you mean she doesn't want to train? That isn't like her at all, it's like she completely lost all drive to do anything but be a helper. Which ties into my next point.

5. From a feminist perspective, the show promised some female representation with powerful Naksu, the Jinyowon family, and many priestesses. However, Naksu never got her power back and instead turned into what is usually described as a healer, which is a job usually given to women instead of fighting. Not only that, we saw time and time again that no one respected the house of Jinyowon, and even though no other elder lost their powers Lady Jin was essentially powerless, and so was her younger daughter. To add on, the mage school does not seem to have any females. All of
the cool aspects shifted to Jang Uk. To sum it up, the pandering seems redundant.
6. Relatedly, they continued the amnesia aspect for way too long and the plot seemed to only be that they were arguing and then getting back together. And after all that angst, the result was very underwhelming.
7. Jin Mu was not killed by Naksu, and he also was the only villain the whole time which made him weaker. By the end he turned into a comic book villain with no intelligence and an evil laugh. It just kind of seemed like a disservice to his character.
8. Overall, i think i preferred season 1.

I think the third coffin is master Heo. They basically killed the three members of the UA who were not ok with…
That does make sense, but she might have tried to protect Park Jin

We waited the ENTIRE season for the stupid memory loss plot to be resolved, and THIS is what happens? They barely…
Bruh their reunion scenes were so underwhelming i swear, we waited so long for it but they didn't even make any special comments, talk about it, or do ANYTHING at all. And i am really angry about Naksu, she even called Jin Mu to kill him, but merely by just putting an ice stone inside and watching. It just doesn't seem like her style, even though it is the only thing she can do right now. I wanna see her FIGHT once.

Whom will he choose then? Naksu or Jin Bu Yeon?
The person we saw as bu yeon in this season is not bu yeon, it is a naksu without her memories. if it was bu yeon it would have been different as she had a different personality and her own memories. he fell in love with naksu, even without her bad memories.

Naksu was raised with vengeance since childhood and seeing her entire family slaughtered. Of course she wouldn’t…
Well personalities are developed through experience not soul, so i can't say she would have been like this regardless....but certainly she would have been different. I just am a bit tired of bubbly female leads, and we were finally freed of that with their dynamic because the male lead was more bubbly instead. Right now she also has been abused by being locked up and having a very strict mother, so it's different. I just hope she regains her memories soon.
Okay episode 4 is over so they HAVE to reveal her identity in episode 5 because i can't wait anymore. I know people are praising him for moving on but it hurts to see him choose someone else who he thinks is not Naksu even though it actually is. I think since the lore of the universe in this show says that everything is controlled by the stars they met again because they are pre-destined and that's why they love each other again, but i am also tired of not seeing her real personality she is too bubbly to be Naksu.

Oh wow. When Master Lee says "I erased what is unnecessary."They are certainly going for the reincarnation story...the…
I think we will get that because he will realise it at some point, so it will be a big scene

Anyone notice how the make-up is a bit different this season? Did they change make-up artist?Jin Ho Kyung had…
I noticed something really interesting too, Naksu when she first appeared in episode one had a completely different look to the Naksu now, to the point that i wondered if it was the same actress for a moment. I think they changed the makeup artists, though i also think Naksu's new look is on purpose to show she's more dainty and more like Bu Yeon right now, everyone has a new look.
