Cuando el teléfono suena

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and was a little surprised to see some of the negative reviews about it. To be fair, I am an English-speaking person and only started getting into K-dramas last year, so I watched this entire series with closed captions. I liked the relationship between the main characters-yes, some parts were a little "cheesy," but overall, I thought their relationship was cute. I even found myself laughing at the villain, thinking, "When is this guy going to die? He has more than nine lives!" The one part of the series I didn't like was the ending. The last episode felt almost like a completely different plot, and I'm not sure why the writers went in that direction. Honestly, the series could have ended at the 11th episode.

That said, I still found the series pretty entertaining overall. I encourage you to form your own opinion rather than being influenced by the negative comments.

Storyline: Episodes 1 to 5 : superb. It hooks you in and can binge watch.

Episodes 6 to 10 : decent Episodes 11, 12 : worst. Can't imagine it is the same drama.

Why does it still get a 7 rating: Acting: top notch from everyone involved in all the episodes. Especially the leads. Their chemistry is off the charts.

Music: suits the drama perfectly. You can listen to it in loop. See the light song from the drama is one of the best ones that has come out recently.

Cinematography: extremely well done on how they depict different moods and settings Direction : Saves the weak Story line across the episodes.

This was on par with other Korean dramas. Romance. Sweetness. Easy on the eyes. Enjoyable. Bingeable...right until the last few mins of episode 11. Then it all became full on nonsense!

Episode 12 was completely unnecessary.

So watch it. It's a nice series. But stop close to the end of episode 11. You'll know at which part. I won't spoil it for you.

After that it's really, really not worth your time.

Of course, as with a K-Dramas, don't expect things to make any logical sense even from the beginning. Just enjoy it for what it is. Lots of cute scenes and characters. Beautiful background score to make you feel the warm fuzzies. Haha.

I truly cannot emphasize enough on how much this show disappointed me!

I got so excited by the first episode. And even through half of second episode. But after that, it became a magnificent free fall!

Usually Korean shows start well but they decline after 7-8 episodes. But the decline happened very soon for this one.

Something that could have been a great serious thriller, became a joke. A childish silly rom com.

The main characters are unbelievable. Their dialogues on the phone are ridiculous and meaningless. Male lead's change of behavior is so drastic and is unbelievable and sometimes annoyingly childish to the audience. You would ask yourselves:" how could someone so smart be so stupid?"

This show has all kinds of twists which you see regularly on Korean shows, but all these twists look and sound comical in this show. They don't affect you the way they should.

They only thing that hooked me was that the leads had a good chemistry(kind of), specially male lead who could show his emotions pretty well.

That is all.

I did not expect much in a Kdrama like this when first reading the plot. The content is normally well but the chemistry and acting is too catchy and on the next level ! They potrayed the feelings, all doubts and hidden affection unbelievably soulful, especially the male. The intense in love charms the audience, a well-developed love story with Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin's perfect chemistry. I must say there are a few couples who fit their roles and their partners in such a passionate way from outward appearances to every gesture when they are together and these two are one of them. Worth the hype.
