MBC has announced the lineup for its upcoming romance thriller The Number You Have Dialed. Based off a web novel of the same name, the show revolves around a show window couple who receive a blackmail call that threatens to reveal their secrets.

 

Playing the husband Baek Sa-eon is Yoo Yeon-seok (A Bloody Lucky Day), a perfect man who has it all. From his background to his looks, Sa-eon seems spotless with his impressive resume as a war correspondent journalist, negotiator, news anchor, and now, the youngest Blue House press secretary. However, in front of his wife whom he married for convenience, he is a cold and calculating man.

Chae Soo-bin (The Fabulous) plays the aforementioned wife Hong Hee-joo. Due to a childhood accident, Hee-joo has mutism, and as an adult, she works as a successful sign language interpreter. After living in a loveless marriage for three years, one day a stranger kidnaps her, and Hee-joo decides from that moment to change her life.

Besides our main couple, Heo Nam-joon (Your Honor) joins the cast as psychiatrist Ji Sang-woo. Good looking and kind, he runs a mystery YouTube channel that specializes in unsolved cases. Unfortunately, his curiosity spells his own downfall as he gets caught up in a case much bigger than he imagined.

Lastly, Jang Gyuri (The Player 2) plays the lovely announcer Na Yoo-ri. Possessing both beauty and brain, Yoo-ri is a naturally friendly person, and her role model is Sa-eon. However, she is unaware that the interpreter she works with is his wife, and this secret may complicate their relationship going forward.

Written by Kim Ji-woon (Melancholia) and directed by PD Park Sang-woo (The Forbidden Marriage), MBC’s The Number You Have Dialed is slated for twelve episodes and will premiere sometime in November in the Friday-Saturday time slot.

Chae Soo Bin Transforms Into A Sign Language Interpreter In New Drama “When The Phone Rings”

Oct 15, 2024

MBC’s upcoming drama “When the Phone Rings” has shared a sneak peek of Chae Soo Bin’s character!

Based on a web novel, “When the Phone Rings” depicts the romance of a couple that married for convenience as they receive a threatening phone call.

Chae Soo Bin plays Hong Hee Joo, the wife of Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok), who lost her ability to speak after a childhood accident. Hee Joo, in an arranged marriage with Sa Eon, does the bare minimum to keep up appearances and has no expectations or hope for her marriage. Living in a superficial marriage, Hee Joo’s world is shaken when she’s kidnapped by a mysterious figure. Ironically, this traumatic event pushes her to rethink her stagnant life and make a change.

In the newly released stills, Chae Soo Bin highlights the many sides of Hong Hee Joo: a skilled sign language interpreter, wife of a presidential spokesperson, and stepdaughter of a media mogul. Hee Joo is shown sitting in a news studio, neatly dressed and focused on her interpreting work. She appears calm and composed, conveying a sense of stability in her role.

In another still, she looks vulnerable, stirring a protective instinct in viewers. Despite wearing a luxurious tweed jacket and an elegant black dress, her facial expressions aren’t bright. With a worried look or a slight frown directed at someone, her demeanor piques curiosity about Hong Hee Joo’s story.

They would have continued living as usual, until their lives were turned upside down by a threatening phone call. 

Chae Soo Bin takes on the role of Hong Hui Ju, Baek Sa Eon's (Yoo Yeon Seok) wife, who has been suffering from mutism since a childhood accident. Married to Sa Eon just for the sake of convenience, Hui Ju only fulfills only the minimal role of a wife necessary to show others, with no expectations or will regarding married life. She would have continued living as usual had she not been kidnapped by a mysterious figure one day. Ironically, after this incident, Hui Ju decides to change her life that had been at a standstill. 

In the stills, Chae Soo Bin showcases the various aspects of Hong Hui Ju, a skilled sign language interpreter, the wife of a presidential spokesperson, and the stepdaughter of a media mogul. In one still, Hui Ju sits in a tidy outfit in a broadcasting news studio. Focused on her work as a sign language interpreter, she appears relaxed and stable.
