A rising politician and his mute wife's tense marriage begins to unravel after a call from a kidnapper turns their lives upside down.
When the Phone Rings was a fresh and interesting thriller with plenty of twists and turns along the way. The highlight was the relationship between the two leads, which developed in a believable and engaging way. The show moved at a good pace most of the time, but I found the final episode a bit superfluous and mostly fluff. The resolution that happened in it could have been done in the previous episode with some tighter editing, especially since I struggled to accept the male lead's motivations for his actions in that finale. But that last hour was the only thing that slightly marred an otherwise excellent drama, so I am giving it 4.5 stars.
