Fans of the Korean drama When the Phone Rings have been finding it hard to spend the days leading up to new episodes, so they are doing the next best thing that they can: creating memes. As the anticipation hits through the roof ahead of the finale weekend, drama heads have stormed X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with hilarious memes that have the entire fandom in stitches.?
When the Phone Rings follows Baek Sae On (Yoo Yeon Seok) and Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo Bin), who have been married for three years but live under the same roof as strangers. While Hee Joo plays dumb (quite literally), Baek Sae On pretends to be cold and distant despite being head over heels for his wife.?
Sae On and Hee Joo's lives take a dramatic turn when a mysterious phone call disrupts their mundane marriage. As they navigate the challenges that follow, they come to realise their true feelings for each other, but their love is put to the test when Hee Joo is kidnapped, throwing their world into chaos.
Humour is the best coping mechanism, they say. Impatient fans are taking to social media to express their anticipation and frustration in a humorous way, creating memes that poke fun at the show's dramatic plot twists. While some are hilariously reacting to Hee Joo's constant kidnapping, others just can't stop talking about how there is never a normal day in the two leads' lives.?
During the ending scene of episode 10, Baek Sae On broke out of his spokesperson for the President of Korea persona and shed a tear as a husband, urging everyone to help him look for his kidnapped wife. Netizens have now been taking to social media to joke about the same and have organised search parties for Hee Joo in their local neighbourhoods.?

Others jokes about how the two are always fighting for their lives, with one netizen writing, "He fell first; she fell off the cliff.".?

?Meanwhile, some were just frustrated about how the phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since the drama premiered.?
?"Legit, they took the title so seriously, ¡®When the phone rings.¡¯ Why are they all calling them when they hug or having an itty-bitty, tiny romantic moment? Switch off the cellphones, cut the cables, and jam the signals!" wrote another.?

Starring Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin, When the Phone Rings premiered in the last week of November 2024 to rave reviews, and fans haven't shut up about it since then. So far, 10 episodes of the addictive show by MBC Network have been released, and fans are eagerly awaiting the final two episodes this weekend.?
