When the phone rings – Cast:

  • Yoo Yeon-seok (Mr. Sunshine/Dr Romantic) as Baek Sa-eon, a spokesperson for the South Korean president
  • Chae Soo-bin (The Fabulous) as Hong Hee-joo, a sign language interpreter
  • Heo Nam-jun (My Royal Nemeses) as Ji Sang-woo, a psychiatrist
  • Jang Gyu-ri (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) as Na Yoo-ri, an anchorperson
  • Han Jai (Mask Girl) as Hong In-ah, Hee-joo’s half-sister

A new English dub is available on When the phone rings on Netflix. Netflix are spending money on good dubs for the best in Korean Dramas.

When the Phone Rings (Korean: 지금 거신 전화는) 2024–2025  written by Kim Ji-woon, co-directed by Park Sang-woo and Wi Deuk-gyu. 12 Episodes, although the story can really be told in 11 and the last episode seemed to tell a new different though still interesting story.

One of the most addictive series of all time. Re-watchable to the infinite degree and now a new way to watch with, not only new dubbing but better dialogue!

Some of the English lines did not convey the essence of the characters in past dubbing but now we have a translation that feels much closer to the plot.

KoreanTV has no connection or affiliation with any streaming company but we can’t help but get excited about this. Don’t forget Lovely Runner also has an excellent English dub. These two series alone are worth having Netflix for at least a month.
