What happens in “When the Phone Rings”?

Three years ago, Sa-eon (Yoo) and Hee-joo (Chae) got married in a secret arranged marriage and have been living together unhappily ever since.

In fact, the two barely speak to each other – partly because Hee-joo is selectively mute, but mostly because they despise each other. Sa-eon, the spokesperson for the South Korean president, is currently facing a national emergency.

A hostage situation arises, and he must take tough measures: the government refuses to pay the ransom and refuses to compromise.

That same evening, Hee-joo is kidnapped after work, where she works as a sign language interpreter in the newsroom.When the phone rings episodes

Her kidnapper, a crazy, masked man who hijacked Hee-joo’s car using malware, is determined to get Sa-eon’s attention.

But when the kidnapper calls Sa-eon, Sa-eon calls through her bluff and tells him to kill Hee-joo… and she hears every word. When Hee-joo escapes – for now – she is angrier than ever.

What must happen before Sa-eon loves his wife again and publicly declares his love for her? And what does this kidnapper really want from them?
