'When the Phone Rings' continues to rise in ratings despite a one-week hiatus
Actor Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin are possibly the next MBC K-drama couple.
On March 13, media outlets reported that Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin have been picked to lead the upcoming MBC K-drama titled The Number You Have Dialed (working title).
Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin's agency King Kong by Starship shared their side regarding the casting reports through the media outlet NewsN. According to the agency, "The K-drama was offered to Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin and they are currently reviewing the offer."
The Number You Have Dialed is a romance K-drama that tells the story of a show-window married couple. One is a presidential spokesperson and the other is a sign language interpreter. The two started their love story through a threatening phone call. The story will be based on a web novel of the same name.
The upcoming K-drama will exclusively air on MBC.
Yoo Yeon Seok got the offer to play the role of Baek Sa Eon. He works as a presidential spokesperson.
If Yoo Yeon Seok confirms his casting, this will be his return to romance K-dramas. Last year, he led the K-drama A Bloody Lucky Day with Lee Sung Min, Lee Jung Eun, Hong Xa Bin, Lee Kang Ji, and Tae Hang Ho. He also made a special appearance in the hit K-drama Dr. Romantic Season 3. He also starred in the movie My Heart Puppy.
Chae Soo Bin on the other hand got the offer to portray the role of a sign language interpreter.
If Chae Soo Bin decides to join the series, this will be her comeback to K-dramas after almost two years. The actress is also expected to star in the upcoming KBS K-drama Treat Her with Caution.
