Chae Soo Bin Transforms Into A Sign Language Interpreter In New Drama “When The Phone Rings”

MBC’s upcoming drama “When the Phone Rings” has shared a sneak peek of Chae Soo Bin’s character!

Based on a web novel, “When the Phone Rings” depicts the romance of a couple that married for convenience as they receive a threatening phone call.

Chae Soo Bin plays Hong Hee Joo, the wife of Baek Sa Eon (Yoo Yeon Seok), who lost her ability to speak after a childhood accident. Hee Joo, in an arranged marriage with Sa Eon, does the bare minimum to keep up appearances and has no expectations or hope for her marriage. Living in a superficial marriage, Hee Joo’s world is shaken when she’s kidnapped by a mysterious figure. Ironically, this traumatic event pushes her to rethink her stagnant life and make a change.

In the newly released stills, Chae Soo Bin highlights the many sides of Hong Hee Joo: a skilled sign language interpreter, wife of a presidential spokesperson, and stepdaughter of a media mogul. Hee Joo is shown sitting in a news studio, neatly dressed and focused on her interpreting work. She appears calm and composed, conveying a sense of stability in her role.

In another still, she looks vulnerable, stirring a protective instinct in viewers. Despite wearing a luxurious tweed jacket and an elegant black dress, her facial expressions aren’t bright. With a worried look or a slight frown directed at someone, her demeanor piques curiosity about Hong Hee Joo’s story.

There is great interest in how Chae Soo Bin will express the emotions of Hong Hee Joo, a real-life mermaid who works as a sign language interpreter despite suffering from mutism. Viewers are eager to see how the actress will add her unique touch to the character, conveying emotions through her eyes, expressions, and actions instead of words.

“When the Phone Rings” is set to air in November. Stay tuned for more updates!
